[QUOTE]Originally posted by nooralhaq: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by american gal: [b]Dear Gigli, As far as women leering at your man... that happens the world over. Some women and some men want what they can't have because they are such miserable souls. They want to ruin everyone else's joy. Don't let these people (wherever you are) get to you... they're not worth it. As for being stared at while in Egypt... unfortunately, if you look different, you'll be stared at. You CAN have fun with it, of course. While my fiance (who is Egyptian) and I visited last year for six weeks, I got so sick of the men staring (and just ignoring it like a sheepish "lady") that I started staring back and giving them funny looks. My fiance began telling them off (in English) because he was just so sick of them, too. Then we'd just laugh our a**es off!! I know it seems so ridiculous to be looked at like you're from another planet (just because your hair is blond or you're fair skinned or you wear a pair of jeans or whatever), but remember there are worse things in the world. Just grin and bear it (or give it right back to them!!). And remember, there are MANY Egyptians who are warm, welcoming, and so so kind!! Take care. [/b][/QUOTE] American Girl, your post made me smile so much <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/biggrin.gif"> You are right in what you said. Yes, you can find this behavior anywhere. Without getting too personal, it is even done here in the States amongst races, am I right? I agree with your advice to Gigli, have fun with it! I certainly would! Men here do their fair share of staring in their own ways and how do we react? Most times ignoring it, giving them dirty looks, funny faces, laughing at them out loud (which that is my personal favorite), etc. The same can be done with the women she encounters. Have fun with them, try reverse psychology, look at them and laugh out loud, if anything it will make them wonder what the heck you're laughing at long enough to throw them off. Remember, you don't have to plan on attending every argument you're invited to. Control the situation in your own way Gigli. Best of luck my friend. Take care. <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/wink.gif"> [/QB][/QUOTE]
