It is amazing to me that they are not turned off by them before it ever reaches the dating stage - My guess is all women do not care too much for equal rights, they want a man to take care of them and since American men are totally discouraged and in fact vilified for acting like men, they have been taught by society to be submissive to women.

Remember the movie, “Not Without My Daughter”?

There’s a difference between a man acting like a man and acting like a woman-hating brute with homosexual tendencies.

For a great view of a Western woman running off into the Muslim world, read “The Turkish Passion,” by Spanish writer Antonio Gala. They made a movie of it a few years ago, but the movie prettified things. It’s a great book (probably the only good book Gala has ever written).

From my experience with a few friends from college. The "men" wine and dine them, treat them like princesses. Spoil them with gifts, say they are not like the men back in the old country. They get the girl to marry them and get her pregnant, then things start to change BIG time.

In the middle east women have no recourse and a man only has to say "I divorce you". Done, she can leave but the children will stay with him.
