Not that simple

Your conclusions leave quite bit to be desired.

A lot of Muslim---and other religious men---who have girlfriends and are intimate with them sexually are sometimes using more secular minded women for fun sex.

In fact, many men (both ex-husbands and Muslim men) discussed on here have had affairs or simultaneous girlfriends knowing they would eventually marry someone completely different.

Muslim men in both Norway and Sweden have been interviewed about interacting with native women. Some of them laughed and said "they were decent in bed" and one man even said that when the time is right, he would marry someone of his own culture.

Women on here who question their behavior are not assuming the worst in the negative light that you put in it. They are looking for answers because they cannot get them over the internet or phone from their man.

I have observed that women from First World and Western cultures look for reasons not to date their man while seeing him. When this premise is abandoned, the woman pretty much loses all of her cards in the power struggle that exists in every relationship.

Whether you like it or not, many cultures that are majority Islam forbid dating, because they find it to be unchaste, and even in more relaxed nations like Morocco and Egypt, families still arrange marriages.

The men you refer to are almost always Muslims born and raised in the West, but even then, there is no guranatee since being born in the West is not a pre-condition to being a good man.

That is why, ok, I take every situation on here on a case by case basis.
