Run from Turkish Men

I have lived in the Middle East in several countries. I found Iranian men to be quite sincere. Arab men were okay, too. But Turkish men were terrible--they are insincere romeos; always after money (and sex of course) though they may not show it at first; manipulative liars; and they do not care at all how much pain they cause for others. They almost seem to enjoy it.

So no matter how attractive a Turk is or how sincere he seems, and even if he takes you to meet his mother (all part of the scam), run as fast and as far as you can in the opposite direction! You'll be much happier in the long run.
