[QUOTE]Originally posted by Tigerlily: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Tream Lefty: [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]Why you are saying this? Many people falling in love during a vacation somewhere else and they don't all have 'issues'! Actually it's a well-known fact and not a phenomen. You are implementing that these people are not emotional stable and have maybe even other things going on. Thanks god that I didn't open up this thread, I would feel hurted by your words. You know sometimes you can't explain things logically, especially when it comes to love, nothing is black or white. Miss Sharm's story is one of many and something like this would have probably never happened to you but people live life and not everyone is calculating the if's and the when's. Foreign women want to make these kind of relationships work even if they are crossing oceans, cultures, social boundries - and even if it's 'only' a resort worker they fell in love with in the first place. [/qb][/QUOTE]You are taking this out of context; it doesn't relate to Miss Sharm's original question or even the fact she decided to stop seeing the guy she met. It is within the context of the discussion I'm having with Lazeez, so please take it as such. And what you call *love,* I call *lust.* I cannot fathom that someone truly falls in love on a short vacation. A person might plant the seeds for a true love to grow, but that's a different story. [/qb][/QUOTE]Good, one more time, as you say I took something "out of context". For me your point sounds 'they are nutsy but they are no whor** either". I get the impression that you are actually amused about these women who fall for the poor resort workers. You know everything from the internet and you even read something in a magazine. But you know what? The best way to understand what these women go through you actually have to have experienced it yourself. And please, don't tell me you were in love with your current husband on the first date, love has to develop. Also I am sure you kissed some frogs before you finally kissed a prince. Thanks god you are smarter than many other women who run after poor-paid resort workers. :rolleyes: And luckily there are happy stories of couples out but you won't read about them in Vanity fair.
