Not just in America

You can't stereotype an entire nation of people as being monsters bc of the actions of a few individuals. Yes America has notorious serial killers. It's obvious bc we read about them and hear about them on the media constantly. I grew up here and I agree with that but I will not agree that American men are worse than Mena. Not in my humble opinion. The experiences I have had have all led me to believe that the MENA men I've met are cold and callous and lie their way through everything. Honesty means nothing to them and tbh that is the exact opposite of most American guys. Yes Trump paints a negative picture but let's keep in mind ladies...he is a politician and doesn't represent the people in our basic form. Anyways...I guess it's safe to say...people are good and bad everywhere and we just need to stay vigilent. My ex was from Egypt and boy did that man have me fooled for a long time. I actually thought I was his only woman but later I found that while we engaged and planning to marry that he was still creating dating profiles on a Muslim matrimonial website and leading other innocent woman on too. Ugh. And sadly even after I caught him redhanded...it took him months to admit it and finally...I had taken enough and had to cut all contact. It was hard!! I was so tempted!! But little by little it got easier. I still have my days that I wonder where he is or who he is with but I keep my distance bc I know that if I show any signs of weekness...he will re-emmerge and suck the life out of me again. I hope everything is going great for everyone on this site!!!
