[QUOTE]Originally posted by SayWhatYouSee: [QB] Axxo, Good luck to you and your girlfriend. Although I don't live in Egypt, I have spent a considerable length of time there and agree with some of the comments above. Our Egyptian friends are an excellent model for the decency of men there. Regrettably, the behaviour of Egyptian men, in general circumstances, leaves much to be desired. Even if a woman behaves properly, dresses with decorum, acts modestly, she will encounter problems. This is unacceptable. Of course, men behave inappropriately, in the west too, but they have way more respect for women, in general circumstances (shopping, etc.) The good news is that women can learn how to handle inappropriate behaviour. Akshar's advice is spot on - react with fury. Shame men who behave badly. This works. It also gives you way more confidence, knowing how to deal with it. It's a pity tourists don't learn more about Egyptian culture, before visiting. If they did, husbands wouldn't smile stupidly, when men tell them how beautiful their wives are. Women wouldn't indulge such (often)false flattery either. My husband has actually stopped lots of men, whom have made comments about me and given them hell. He has pointed out that he wouldn't treat an Egyptian woman with such disrespect and expected the same courtesy. The men concerned have been extremely apologetic, not to mention surprised. I wish more western people would discourage sleazy behaviour, from some Egyptian men. Regarding shopping, it depends where you live. Cairo is much easier to shop in than Luxor or the Red Sea. I'm sure your girlfriend will get the hang of this, with your guidance. Good luck. [/QB][/QUOTE]
