Accepting Less Than Your Worth

Ladies: If you can't meet his family, or you can't afford to go to Morocco to actually see his life - these are signs that you should not marry. You wouldn't accept a marriage with an American man that lives down the road from you if you couldn't know his family, friends, coworkers, so why accept it from a man who lives thousands of miles from you? If he can't afford to fly you to his home, he can't afford to have a wife and kids. Ignore the sob stories about not being able to find work. For the most part Moroccan men don't like to work hard. And no, Moroccan men do not have some sort of crazy preference for "older" women. They are just like men all over the world, they like beauty and youth too in a wife. I have been over there and seen all the beautiful women. What makes you think you rate more than them? The only reason someone needs to marry a person from a long distance is with a purpose. The internet is a great way to trap the lonely. If there is a honest one that hasn't completely brainwashed a woman and without even asking, got her to change her religion, he will be a rare one. My advice is to avoid this country because any people that are desperate enough to swim with sharks in ice cold water to Spain to get out of where they are at, they will do or say anything to get to another country.
