Has anyone met Moroccan Men living in US?

Just curious about whether or not anyone here has met men from Morocco in the states or other countries. I haven't read all of the posts on this site, (only the ones that I thought would be relevant to my situation a few months back;)) but it sounds like there are lots of online dating hookups here.

I do not know if it makes the experiences more difficult or not. I posted once on this site shortly after I broke up with my ex Moroccan boyfriend. I just used very poor judgement with him and I don't believe it had anything to do with his being a Moroccan man, but more to do with his lack of respect for committed relationships. We are still good friends, probably better friends now that all the intrigue and mystery have dissolved.

I told him about this site and he has read some of the posts, too. He believes that women should be extremely cautious when meeting the men this way. Most are poor and are in search of better opportunities. Sometimes, this means finding a woman to get involved with in order to get what they need, i.e. visas, etc. Of course, he says this is not always the case.

As an American woman, I must say that through the years I have allowed some not so nice men say just the right words to get away with some not so nice things, all because I thought I was soooooo in love. So, I am writing all this just to say that as women, when dealing with any man, respect and love ourselves first. By doing this, it relieves us from some of the confusion about seeing the relationship through or ending it. Being treated as less than the Queens that we are is completely unacceptable.
