Syrian men

Submitted by Keri (Canada), Mar 29, 2007 at 18:46

From what I know about Syrians, they are a proud culture. I also know that they do not want to go against their families wishes. I know that many arabic women want their sons to marry within the family.

I too am talking to a syrian man. He is the most honorable man that i have ever met...will not take money from me, is supporting his family, and will not marry out of convenience. I have nothing but respect for him, and am so sad when i think about his life situation living under the militaristic regime that he is living in. One person's word could land him in trouble for a long time...
