Your response was well articulated and honest. There are really awful people from all over the world. Sadly, I still hear some of the stereotypes against Eastern European and Russian women. Every country has its atrocious history and people. It should not breed generalizations, which become racism.

Yes, we have all experienced the pain of dealing with a MENA man. I don't know if everyone was scammed, but they were definitely hurt. And there's more that aren't even on this board yet. Dating is so dangerous these days because it seems no one is serious. Caution should be taken, but matters of the heart are hard to control. Red flags should not be ignored, regardless where the man is from.
