[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tream Lefty: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by LaZeeZ: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tream Lefty: [qb] But I get the feeling that most women who are posting here are looking for a genuine relationship/marriage with their Egyptian man. And in that context, they are very susceptible to getting hurt emotionally. [/qb][/QUOTE]I don't count much on the stories here because at the end they are one side stories. What I count on is what I have seen by my eyes. There are many looking for 'geniune' relationships from both sides but there are SO MANY who will visit here, see a guy they think they can't get one as handsome back home and sleep with him in a couple of days. They will do anything to please the guy and it will seem like they are looking for geniune relationship, but how did this all start?. I don't think a relationship based on looks or sex is much different from that based on money. Here you will hear about 'ringing bells' whenever money is mentioned in a relationship but those bells don't seem to work when a woman lives with a guy she knew for a couple of days and knows nothing about him except that his looks are great. [/qb][/QUOTE]It's very true that these stories are one-sided. I've never *seen* one of these relationships start, so I have absolutely no idea what is involved. Some women who go searching for love in a resort town might not be the most emotionally-healthy people, but it doesn't mean they aren't genuinely looking for their soul mates. (They just aren't going about it in the smartest manner.) There was a very interesting article in Vanity Fair a few months ago, about the culture surrounding the Dahab bombings. One piece of the article focused on a young resort worker who had travelled to Sharm, I think, to find work from his own rural town. It traced his hopes and his failures - bribing people just to get a busboy job in a restaurant, only to never make as much in one season as the bribe his family paid. In Sharm, he met a Canadian woman with whom he maintained correspondence for months. He told the reporter he was truly in love with this woman, but after a while she stopped writing back. He was heartbroken. It was the first time I'd seen the man's side of the story. And while his relationship/feelings with the foreigner may not have started out on the purest of terms (he freely admitted to wanting to get out of Egypt because he couldn't find work), I think his feelings seemed real. My point is I think most people have *issues,* but it doesn't mean they aren't looking for real love. [/QB][/QUOTE]
