When I stepped off the plane in Cairo for the first time I just thought how interesting and exotic looking the guys were compared to the German men. Well then again everything was exotic looking there as I've never been abroad before and didn't see many foreigners either!!

Omg,TL...any men are exotic and interesting when compared to German men.Sorry,but while visiting Germany i found them to be the least atractive ones,at least on my atractiveness meter. Posts: 3833 | From: here,there,everywhere | Registered: Nov 2007

When I first got into Cairo I thought this airport is more modern than I thought it would be but then saw parts that looked as if from the 70s.
And then I saw my in-laws. Goodness my Sister-in-law is gorgeous, Dad is a identical match for my then hubby, they look so agitated, my neice is such an angel, and by the time we got out into the van Mom starts bawling. My then hubby told her he was coming with knowing it was going to be a lie.
After all this he lies to his own mother.
High expectations for sons in regards to their Mothers, if they let their mothers down in any matter she really doesn't get over it.
Wives are lied to everyday, over and over again. They learn to expect it yet see the opposite in their sons.

yes agree with you on the full scale drama. If your not on high blood pressure you soon will be.
My husband doesn't eat that much! I am surprised at how little he does eat sometimes. I am always trying to push food on him being italian. Now he can pack away the ice cream, but that's about it.

German men are extremely attractive on the whole. Much, much more so than Egyptian men. European men generally are. However, this board caters to Egypt. Kind of goes with the title!

Yup you are right about this board being onsided. Generally these lasses know Egyptian guys from a chat room or vacation. If they were to move about, live or visit Egyptians in a more natural setting then they'd realize just how sqewed their opinions are.
German, Scandinavian and basic Nordic men I have met from the EU haven't been attractive on a hole. But when they are they certainly know it!

Well I've been working with a group of Egyptian men (and a couple of women) on a professional basis for the past couple of weeks so had 10 or more in a room at once for several hours - and you know what? They're just like all the men I used to work with in the UK - concerned about juggling huge to-do lists, meeting deadlines, setting and achieving goals and targets, how to work through team building issues - yada yada..
Some of them are shy, some more outgoing, some sit back, reflect think then speak, others say/do first and think later - some prefer to learn by watching, others by doing. Some are auditory, others visual, and others kinaesthetic.
They're not space aliens, they are completely normal human beings with the whole array of different personality traits that any people anywhere show!

Just one question to you Reality_Meanie - What is your problem? How can you make such deluded statements, you know nothing about me, my relationship or about many relationships on here. Do you realise how sad you are, your opinion is just considered zilch. You obviously had a bad experience, does that then mean ALL egyptians are bad like the one you met?

I agree the lying was the biggest surprise for me, too. But I don't think they think of it as lying, even though they know they're not telling the truth. It's like, in their Egyptian minds, they rationalize it as something different. I don't know. Perhaps I'm justifying a behavior and I'm wrong. But, yeah, it was the lies.

You are right justvisiting many of them do not see it as lying i think they see it as bending the truth for the right reason and this is how they justify it, but the problem is they do not stop to think whether the other person will see it this way Posts: 1797 | From: By my husband's side | Registered: Nov 2007

Sherry I am requesting you point out the post in which you think I am judging you.
It might be a massive disability on an Egyboard to not be in love with a Pharoah, but that isn't what these egyboards were designed for anyhow.
Never stated that all Egyptian guys were alike. But the same can't be said for foreign lasses who meet egyguys on the internet or on holiday.

I really only know my son's friends, and I am amazed by them at how hard they work, so many hours, and they find time to spend with him and they all look so happy and cheerful even when they are working, and they always greet us with a smile - me at work - I am so grumpy sometimes
Yup you are right about this board being onsided. Generally these lasses know Egyptian guys from a chat room or vacation.
To Reality_Meanie - I don't think you were juding me personally, but by this remark you are making a generalised assumption of relationships and people who you know really know nothing about.

Another one is their sense of entitlement. It's quite amazing they think people owe them just because they are male.

It would be helpful if you ladies would refer to which part of Egypt your love interest is from. Bedioun, Saeedi, Deltans, Fallahein, or Cairo sorts all behave differently for different situations.
And yes its my opinion that regional characteristics override personality.

I have to agree with you on that one. With mine, if he lies about something (which is rare), he will tell me the truth some time later. I think he thinks I will get mad and that I will not talk to him again. Posts: 141 | Registered: Apr 2008

Totally disagree, my comment above applies to men from all the regions you mention above and from all levels of society. That's the difference Sono when you actually live in Egypt for a significant amount of time and encounter many people outside of your immediate family, you can form an opinion based on first hand experience and not just theories.
And just to be clear I am not talking about 'love interests' as you so insultingly put it, one can encounter men in many other ways in life.

I have yet to read of you making a visit to an actual home of an Egyptian family.
Most of what you post is in regards to Sharm, not where everyday Egyptians live.
Cairo collects Egyptians from every village in Egypt, luckily my Father in Law because of his work in the Education Ministry can navigate social and commerce situations due to the different nature of different regions.
You yourself Penny have yet to live in Egypt, you only visit and don't know the language.
I suppose Egypt is more palatable and enjoyable from a resort in Sharm, but that isn't Egypt now is it?
