I agree you cannot lump everyone into one basket.  Having said that how easy was it for you to marry in Morocco.  I ask because my boyfriend is younger than me.  I always thought how hypercritical people can be that they accept older men/younger women but raise eyebrows when an older woman/younger man.  Love knows no age limit.  You have one life to live. Be happy.

Hi I've been speaking to young man from tanghir I am planning on visiting soon you experience makes me hopeful I am English middle age woman and any advise would be much appreciated thank you

Fleury Sinclair, I find it hard to believe that you are English or pretending to be. Your English grammar is  poor and you make simple spelling mistakes. I can't believe how stupid or lack of common sense some of you have and that this thread continues to grow. I find it somewhat entertaining though. May Allah forgive me for saying this.

I am in a similar relationship to this and I have no money to scam
However he comes from a very well off family and has a good job but a simple life and has refused his father's inheritance to come to England as he offered him it all to stat in Morocco


I've met his family who appeared lovely to me and treated me with the most respect
I have all the thoughts of a scam and still came to the conclusion that he has nothing financially to gain coming to live in England I am also 20 years older than him and we are in the process of a spouse visa now
I've seen how he lives and he has a much better life I think than he would do in England
I also met him on a dating site which he was open about wanting a mature woman from the start we speak daily sometimes hours over video chat and I've been open with him about if he is thinking about scamming me hes got no chance as I have nothing but me to give
So after all this I'm asking how has it gone and are you still with him?

Hope you can still reply

Run away as fast as you can!

No amount of money or wealth can buy a Moroccan person the  right to permanently stay in the UK and gain UK passport fast than marrying a British person. Is it possible that this is all just an investment? Just saying. 🤔

I am also trying to get married to a Moroccan girl but for some reason they all want money I don't understand why

Hi some just need to get the residency card there or the passport thats all after that they so what they want. They know in Morocco its useless for them. Even if he had take this frm his father wat he would do with that if he is getting to go out of Morocco thats the moat important for them
Am telling u coz my ex did this
I might b wrong n your guy might b good
But everyone in Morocco knows this
NEVER TRUST A MOROCCAN

Am here 4 years in Morocco i know things
Anyways best of luck

Bit extreme. Don't you think?🤔

GuestPoster0284

Guest, what dating forum did you use to meet your guy? I’m wondering if it’s the same one I have been talking to. My story is identical, but I’m 12 yrs older than mine. It’s so weird to see so many posts of older American women with younger Moroccan men. I’ve never seen this phenomenon before with any other country. What is going on?

Vet51

Hi.  I am new to this forum but am in a similar situation to several of the above posters. I met my Moroccan partner in Morocco approx. 12 months ago during a volunteer placement that he was involved in. During these 12 months he has not worked but with Covid restrictions in place I wasn't sure if there was a real reason for this.  He comes from a relatively small town with little work opportunity but for some reason the rest of his family are able to maintain employment in various trades. He is a musician. During our time together I have travelled to Morocco a number of times and any travel we have undertaken together has been totally funded by me.  I have also been asked to send money or gifts at various times.  He talks often about marriage and I have told him I have no intention in getting married.  Also it can take up to 7 years to get a spousal visa in Australia and he requires a tourist visa to travel here.  This is unlikely to be granted as he has no income source. Apart from me lol.  As with the above posters he is very charming and I fell very heavily for him when we first met.  However I do have many doubts and these have been strengthened by the above posts.  As an Australian I am unlikely to be able to travel back to Morocco for a number of months if not years due to international travel restrictions.   I guess my questions is - is this a relationship worth pursuing or should I take the advice  of the many posters and expose him as a scammer?

GuestPoster0284

Vet51, it does sound like he is scamming you. I still have no clue if mine is scamming me or just investing in me for an American green card. I was in Morocco for 10 days this past month and I did not spend money during the trip. He paid for everything. But, on the way to the airport, he asked me to file for the K1 visa but I declined. My advise is to tell him that you cannot send money or gifts anymore. See what happens

HadzshaV.B

Never trust them. They are surely using you girls 99.99999 % sure... moroccan man are known for this and girls as well. Am here almost 5 years plus i have been thru this. Play poor and see what happen. Say that you dont have or u need an amount of money for help n see. Dont be stupid they are really smart they know steos how to do that.

GuestPoster0284

I agree. Mine is really good at it. He has sent me Uber eats when I don’t want to cook  and always gives me advise and has been there for me through a lot of stuff that has happened. He was there for me when my Grandma passed, when I put my dog down, when I go through hard times. On the phone for 9 hrs with me talking to me trying to make me feel better. I might just keep him around to make me feel better when I’m having hard times. But I won’t let him use me. 9 months and I have not sent him a penny.

GuestPoster0284

How do you know that he is not a genuine person? It seems to me that you are using him instead.

GuestPoster0284

I don't know if he is genuine but it's weird that there are so many women on different forums are expressing how a younger Moroccan man took advantage of them for money and a green card. I wish I knew he was genuine because I do love him very much but I also don't want to be taken advantage of.  I've had many sleepless nights because of this. But when I see posts from so many women, then I say, what makes me an exception.
Why does Morocco have this reputation? It baffles me.

GuestPoster0284

You need to look at your situation from your own prospective. Just think if you are in this person shoes. How would you like to be seen? How would you like people to think of you? Generosity is something very rare in the western world but still exists in places like morocco. Looking after your guests and loved one is taken very seriously by some people in morocco. I am not saying that you should trust everyone but there good people with good hearts and good intentions everywhere including morocco. Ask yourself a question. Why go to morocco or to other part of the world to get involved in a relationship? What's wrong with Country? I am not questioning you intentions. I just want you to think and consider the other person and sometimes take a chance on them.

GuestPoster0284

You bring up valid points. First, I was not looking for love in a different country whatsoever, I wasn’t looking for love, period. But for some reason we started talking and here we are. And you are wrong that generosity is not seen in the western world. There is a lot of people with good hearts here as well.
I don’t know if it matters anymore anyway because I haven’t talked to him in days and he’s probably already moved on. He has a lot going for him, he’s smart, fit, educated, and very handsome. I’m sure lots of ladies are lined up to be with him.

Good luck.

Sad to say its not only the Moroccan men but the women are also the same. Sells a few years of their life for a  green or citizenship of USA or any western or European countries then go back and marry their sweetheart.

Nadia Kamra

I am so sorry if you have been in such malicious experience.  Again generalizing is dangerous also should be really really careful when it comes to marriage process. Few months relationship isn’t fair enough to determine successful relationships. I always say all that glitters is not golden. Means too much sweetness at beginning won’t last forever. Having a distance relationship should be experienced by a good manner of respect and faithfulness. Down to earth to accept each others flaws to improve the relationship quality. Asking always money or showing always interest to money is a key to understand the person’s intention. So please guys before letting yourself into any kind of relationship should be really carful and analyzing the person’s attitude, intellectual level and if the person can support you in good or bad situations. Try to have more time and open serious conversations with the partner. documents can be waiting, desire can be satisfied don’t be too much enthusiastic 🤩

Shelly0509

Look, from my experience, what got me in the problem, was that the man didn't ask money in the beginning. Long time he was only about love and me moving with him. Until I find job in morocco, he will take care of us if run out of money cause it maybe takes time. Perfect man, right?

This is the thing. They are extremely patient so you think their intentions are good. You stop worrying with time.
If they asked for money immediately , nobody would fall for them. If they were not nice to you, if they don't call often, if they don't do much better than guys in your country... They know this. So this love must be strong, completely incredible- this is called love bombing. They bomb you with love like crazy for a long time. Until you're hooked.


When I remember myself reading on chats about cheating moroccan man before getting too serious with him, i wanna cry. I was reading everything bad there and still i thought: "oh, my God, I'm so sorry for this girls, but my guy is different.... " I even searched his name on some list i found where american and canadian women write names and description of the scammers and city they were based in. But my guy was good for such a long time so I thought: hey, lucky me...
I bet some girl now is reading all of this thinking the same thing. I'm sorry to say this, but chances are slim. I saw there his friends doing the same thing. They know all about visa, how to get where... Something i never thought about in my life before. Marriage is the easiest way. It's not do easy to find a job abroad and move without having money, house ecc. They need a sponsor, somebody to push them, help them. They need some woman, because who else will do this for them...? They think once they come in Europe or America they will become crazy rich... I think they watch too much TV. They think opportunities fall from sky there- i mean we all know life is hard everywhere...

I think there are ppl who found love like this maybe. But i think boy and the girl were similar age, he had a job with ok income and didn't need her for money... I would never risk again with moroccan man to enter this small percentage of lucky ppl...
I paid too much every minute of this false big love....

Nadia Kamra

I feel so sad hearing all mentioned above. I am sorry again as a female i would not accept to hurt someone on the name of love. Just reading people’s experiences i feel deeply sad for them for their trust and their tries.

Of course you can’t determine true love from fake ones. Just sometimes some indicators at the beginning or during the relationship can tell you about the nature of the partner. Well, as you said a matter of luck also.

I am myself married to a foreign man originally from Russia i was too much carful to open my heart to him i bet the same for him too. being apart relationships not easy. Cuz simply we don’t see the partner directly we do not face each other on daily basis.

Europe or USA isn’t heaven i really don’t know why so much youth in my country think everything easy abroad. I have friends from USA and EU i know how hard are working and studying to achieve themselves. In Morocco isn’t easy as well to self realization.

I feel so sorry again. I hope you find better heart would appreciate you 🙏🌹

Milkaveronica

Hi, I was just curious. How is everything going with your relationship.  Was he a player or sincere

Nadia Kamra

What the heck are you saying!  Who is giving you the right to accuse the entire society!!! If you are thankful i am pretty sure many Moroccan people have been to much nicer to you, but when it comes to personal experience throw all the s.... on Moroccans . Sounds really stupid being unthankful to where you live in peace, safer and reasonable prices comparing to where you came from!

I do feel horrible hearing all the fake love stories from Exapts . Let’s be realistic in your countries also most of you had experienced love with benefits. 

Iknow many foreigners once come to Morocco they have too much interest spending just couple on nights with men.... So what are you looking for if you want get advantage of him? It’s a win win mentality.

I know Morocco men as well got faked by European women. Left over with no reason !!! Not everyone here is an angel so lets not generalize.


I would give you a golden advice. Love in Moroccan mentality shouldn’t start with a nooky (majority) get yourself some dignity as well.

LisaNour

I am dating a Moroccan guy online too he wants me to come live in Morocco after my school overseas. What do you think ?
I also want to know do Moroccans say I love you or just I miss you ?

Badr Eddine Bel Haj

What the heck am i supposed to say ? I don't even get why am i getting those notifications ?

Obinnau

Lol. Because you subscribed to the board, that's why

Jhoanna mae

Hahahha ofcourse. They are human too. They do say that when they really mean it. 😁🤭i]

Yahya411

LisaNour, tell him to come to Australia first and see what happens. That will answer your question. The rest is common sense for you to figure out.

GuestPoster0284

Moroccan culture does not accept marriage with a non muslim and out of their turf...... blablabla what a shame!!!

u are just being categoric, totally, with clichés that are unfair to those "third-world" folks who are honest and love their european or us or whatnot ladies !!!!! not all individuals are the same!

autumnlp2

Hello,

I am recently in a similar situation and am just checking in a couple of years later to see how it turned out. Are you guys still together?

It doesn't sound like a scam to me

hey hey  show some respect for moroccan,

paul von

You have come across beggars, not generous free men

Shawn Marie Nunez

I am in a similar situation.  I have been dating a younger Moroccan man for a little over a year. He is 17 years younger than I am.  I went to Morocco last year and stayed for a month. When I was there, I met a lot of his friends and I met his family and we visited with his family often. 

I plan on going back this year for another visit. Everything happened very fast and I completely fell for him.  But, I have a hard time trusting ANYONE and can't help thinking that his motives are less than honest. 

He tells me he loves me and I believe him but I just can't shake the negative feelings I have in that I'm going to be the one with a shattered heart.  I wish I had better thoughts.  I just don't know how to let these feelings go.

Hello Marie

Have a moment of reflexion  first , the seriousness can't be seen or ilved till you're together , if he's serious and responsible gor for it if not step back and no harm done
