Dear Ladies, firstly I want to say hi to you. I have read the stories of some of you. I suppose most of you are not glad from Turkish men. I think you should not compare Turkish men with Arabic men. Because we are completely different from Arabic men. There are religional and cultural similarities but the personality of turkish men is different. Turkish men's mothers are very important for them and every Turkish mother wants a virgin Turkish girl. Also Turkish men heed virginity.

Most Turkish men do not want to marry with a woman who is not virgin. There are two kinds of women for a Turkish man. One of them is for marriage, one of them is for fun. You should not seem easy. Turkish men make a marriage with foreign girls generally because of economic reasons like green card or british visa, working or living permissions.

However, if they fall in love and get on well with their wives and if they adapt the life and culture -Turkish people are more flexible on adaptation than other Muslim people- this marriage can be the best. When a Turkish man really falls in love, you can not find a better lover and father than him, but if he does not love and if he plays, that means it will be a very bad relationship and you will not be happy. So, I recommend not to get married to Turkish man unless you are sure about his love and affection.

You should also be able to get on with his family and respect his father and mother. You should take care of your children very well. You should dedicate yourself to your children as a mother. Turkish men are possessive and jealous. The thing he wants might be silly or stupid but he wants it from you in order to examine your affection or love. If you accept and do it, he believes that you loved him indeed and then he will love you much more than you loved him. Turkish men believe that they were special and so turkish women are special for them.

You should observe Turkish women well. You should not let him miss Turkish women. Actually a relationship with a Turkish men is difficult. It wants altruism or sacrifice basically. Therefore it is difficult of course. I recommend you not to be adventurous and to be serious and sure for a relationship with a Turkish men. You will have to sacrifice something from yourself for this relationship.
