I am an American in love with, and engaged to, a moroccan man. I have been to morocco to see him and his family. I believe he is one of the few "good ones". I am not saying anything against moroccan men. I was treated with respect by all men when I was there, however; my fiance used to work in an internet cafe and has seen all these scanmers.

There are many, but there are many men in morocco that like western women without thinking we are all sluts or looking for a visa, money etc. Just the same as we have a preference in hair color, skin color and so on, they do too. I think the young men in morocco are more westernized and progressive than their female counterparts.

I am not yet married nor does he have his visa yet. We will have to see how this turns out, but I have much faith that it will be good. We will have issues like any married couple will have. Trust your gut and use your brain and not just your heart. Good luck, I hope he is the One.
