I am very surprised to see all the negative generalities about muslims / egyptians. The acts of scamming and fraud and using people for personal gains happens in every culture, every religion and every country. But I can honestly say that the culture / religion of the Egyptians is respectful towards women. They are, as it has been my experience, honest, kind, caring, and thoughtful. They treat a lady as a lady. They are non-judgmental and are definitley more interested in the inner beauty instead of the physical beauty. And ladies, if you are involved with an egyptian man, you can test his intentions / sincerety by having a female friend engage your man into a conversation and see where it goes. If he is true to you and is honest in his interactions, he will either refuse to engage in coversation or will do so hesitatingly. If your egyptian man tells your female friend that he is not interested because he is already involved with someone and then goes on to talk about you with your friend, he is true to you and has no ill or alterior motives. Trust him and follow your heart. If he does not admit to being in a relationship and makes inapproapriate comments / acts, then his intentions are not true and you need to move on. I hope this helps some of you ladies who are questioning the intentions / sincerety of your egyptian man. Hang in ther and follow the road to its end. Good Luck!

I just had to pick out this little statement of yours - you obviously have never been to Egypt!

Why should it be obvious that she has never been to Egypt?
You can visit Egypt and still have that impression, especially if it is the first time and you only spend a few weeks. It would also depend on which places in Egypt are visited.
You can keep this impression for a longer time if you visit the village areas in the south or the delta.
Egyptian people are generally nice and kind - barring a few walad kalbs as is normal in any country.

Muslim generalising comes from ignorance and Islamaphobia.
Egyptian generalising comes from ignorance, Egyptophobia, not having visited Egypt (relying on second hand stories), bad experiences (being "fooled" into giving it up), possibly jealousy, being married to one of the walad kalbs , having monster in laws and on and on and on Welcome to ES

Yeah, right, an Egyptian man plays down the harrassment issue. Thank the lord that you are not a white-skinned woman......
And of course Egyptians are generally nice and kind even to strangers - unfortunately many times the guys are just 'too nice and other things' but how would you know.

I have to agree with Tigerlilly...it's a wonderful view through rose-tinted glasses. Also, I'd like to point out a cultural thing here... "If your egyptian man tells your female friend that he is not interested because he is already involved with someone and then goes on to talk about you with your friend, he is true to you and has no ill or alterior motives."
As gossipy as Egyptians are, they do not go around talking about their personal relationships with strangers, especially if it's not a fiance but a girlfriend.

first i wanna thank you...because i am an Egyptian myself... second ...i agree with you to put a frame for all Egyptians is an ill attitude... but again... aren`t you doing just the same..??? according to what i quoted from your words previously... you make your opinion about all Egyptians in general...they are nice and good and so on...
i know so many Egyptians who are decent nice human beings...
but i also know so many Egyptians who fit the discribtion of Bad name to their culture...traditions and religion... scum bags... i choose to hang out with the first kind... after i know the reality of their character.. and it takes long time sometimes to know the real person..
i had two times marriages with Egyptian women...same number divorces...they were my worst nightmare ever... but that doesn`t prove that all of Egyptian women are bitches like my ex wifes... it was my bad judgment and wrong choice... thank god i am married now to a Brazilian... botton line... there are good ppl and bad ppl every where ... and please if it happens that you meet those bad quality Egyptians...and that is very well possible...don`t change your opinion 180 degrees... thanks any way... i was pissed off just like you...that almost every body was attacking Egyptians in general...
