Question for women

Post new topic

bosemedo

Why most women do not trust foreigners in the marriage of Egyptian youth ?

mydream

Because too many women read.what is on the Internet and don't take the time to get to know Egyptian men and then form their own opinion. If I had read and believed the Internet. I would not have met my wonderful husband.who I married 7 years ago. Egyptian men are some of the most wonderful men in the world and I would not exchange.my husband.for any other man

mydream

I think it's a complex issue, and I think if there is love between them will make things much easier, and I wish I could be more honest men

Like Mydream, I have been married 16 years to a wonderful Egyptian man but, I was very suspicious to begin with.  I knew of people who had married only to get a UK visa.  Nowadays, what people must understand, is that it is not at all easy to get a UK visa, whether you have a British wife or not and, as it gets harder and harder, the time will come when a British woman will know the man wants her for herself as he has a snowball's chance in hell of getting a UK visa.  I also know of woman who have married Egyptian men, knowing they would never get a visa, and were well paid for the marraige, and who flew back to the UK never to be heard of again so it is not exclusive to foreign women and Egyptian men........it is all over, both male and female. Girls read this on the net and forget the happy endings like ours.  They are afraid of being used.   Also, a lady likes to be wooed.  It takes time to get to know someone and things should never be rushed, where Arab men are passionate and black is black and white is white, foreigners tend to see things cooler in shades of grey.  Different cultures are always suspicious of other cultures.  Would life not be awfully boring if we were all alike????????

I 100% agree with AlexScot , as with any relationship, you have to.get to know each other which takes time. If you are right for each other you will know and then the marriage has a good a chance as.any other. You BOTH have to work at the marriage to overcome the cultural differences. It is also so very true that visas are getting harder and harder to get. I think it's really awful that there are so many bad stories about Egyptian men on the internet when we know there are many many more good men than bad. This is one of the reasons I will always post positive stories so that we have a healthy balance and we don't scare everyone and give egyptians.a bad name. There are people who post really bad things but they have had no experience of a relationship with an Egyptian man so it is all based on what they have read on the Internet.  I say speak from experience and don't spread hearsay. I for one will always stand.up for Egyptian men as I personally know many more good men than bad.

Yahoo MyDream.....................let's spread the word!!!!!  Shine the light of happiness in a sea of darkness.

I think during all these years, I have only met one Egyptian man who I would not trust as far as I could throw him so in 19 years with ties with Egypt I think that is not a bad average.

There are good and bad........................women as much as men......................everywhere.  That is why the getting to know each other, even if it takes, like me, 3 years or more............is sooooooooooooo worth it.  Do not have any illusions that life in Egypt will be the same as your life at home either.  Either embrace the cuture or walk away. 

So, young man, not all women have that opinion of young Egyptians when it comes to marriage............some of us married them and lived happily ever after.  lol.

mydream

Back at ya  AlexScot!!!!
LADIES let's hear from you and really blow the bad press out of the water. Tell all the negative people your positive stories and  put right this.injustice  VIVA.EGYPT !!!!!!

bosemedo

That is a very good response.

As to marrying for visa, I can only speak about UK visa.  I am very active in immigration politics in the UK.  Regardless of the fact I have been married so long, my husband would not get a visa to live in the UK under current legislation.  It is very very strict and very hard...............becoming harder if the new legislation gets passed for anyone to get a UK visa.  The UK Government wish to reduce annual migration to under 20,000 which is very low.  That ,means that you will have to meet stricter and stricter criteria to be issued with a visa, or be very very rich by Egyptian standards.  This is a warning to those thinking of taking that route..............it is very unlikely that you will even get a visit visa, never mind a visa to live in the UK!  It is very complex to even apply for a visit and, as Egyptian money is worth nothing in the UK, you would need to have a huge bank balance to even be considered for a visit.  If you break the visa conditions you will eventually be found out and deported and never allowed into the UK again.  It is happening more and more as those who break their visa conditions have spoiled it for those who genuinely want to visit the UK.  It is not, in the main Egyptians, but the visa laws are for everybody outside the European Union so Egyptians are included.

I thought I should put this in as it is something I am active about and something anyone thinking they will easily get a visa needs to think about.

Nobody should ever marry for personal gain anyway and I have nothing but contempt for those who do.  They have no respect for either themselves, their partners, or Allah as it is dishonest!
