Hi Nadine
I am Moroccan and I advise you to stay away from Moroccan males at the moment. I wish you all the best in your new endeavor :)
Kind regards

Good advice, but she has already stated that she only wants to meet expats so it looks like she has a good head on her shoulders.

Just popped the advice to her, it's not a big deal :)
Thanks anyway :)

Honestly...Its so annoying and funny at the same time how people behave and THINK!!! :-)
WE FEMAE EXPATS are not here to look for Moroccan MALES...Many of us are already married and working here, we just want to meet nice people around here .... Its sometimes really sad how people think...

laduqesa

Yes, the key, in case you hadn't noticed yourself in your own post is "Many of us". Don't generalise either, "WE FEMAE [sic] EXPATS are not here to look for Moroccan MALES"

There are also many unmarried female expats. In my view and that of the other contributor, it is far better for their wallets and mental health to keep away, in general, from Moroccan guys and hang around with expats. This is why people give the advice.

It might have been helpful for you to have explained that you were married if this is the case.

Lastly, you are aware, I assume, that some foreign women are here to pull Moroccan guys. They get the same advice from me too, but obviously don't take it.

Fortis

Every woman should make their own business.....If they dont see the " red light" as a warning its their own fault....And there are good and bad people in every country....

My dear sponsor,
I am a Moroccan citizen and an expat myself who lives outside Morocco. It's quite amazing how you give people advice and they take it the wrong way. I was living in Marrakech myself and had many married expat friends in my circle which many of them were and are still in touch with me. I am not trying to belittle my compatriots either, but I am here to just shed the light on an issue that she might encounter as I had a friend who was a new expat just like Nadine few years ago and ended up in a scam by mixing up with some people who pretended to be a realtors! I am sure by one way or another she will come across the locals, like we all do wherever we live.
Cheers

It was a little hard to understand you, but I gather that you feel people here are judging Moroccans unfairly.  I agree that no one should be judging anyone.  However you must also understand that expat women in Morocco get a HUGE number of unsolicited "offers of friendship" from Moroccan men, who are presumably after something more than just friendship.  Those Moroccan men are judging the expat women, no?  And the women, for their own protection, have to be a little cynical and suspicious about offers from all Moroccan men.  That is simply the existing reality.  I don't think anyone believes ALL Moroccans are alike, but there is a very visible sub-section of the population that tends to give a bad impression.

The best thing you can do, as a Moroccan man, is to acknowledge this reality and do your best to give a different example.

JenB

Landlord615, was that a reply to me or to someone else?

If it was a response to what I said, then I don't think you understood it.  I don't think I generalized.  I didn't say there aren't good people, everywhere.

Moroccan men approach me all the time, on the street, on the internet, in Morocco and here in the US.  It has nothing to do with living in a particular neighborhood.  I am not saying they are bad people, just that it's annoying and some people can be taken in by it and think it's something it's not.

I don't think this is really worth getting into an extended discussion over, and it's off-topic anyway.

If only you saw the number of posts on here, and far more elsewhere across the internet, from women who travelled to Morocco, and upon returning, ask for help regarding papers required for marriage in Morocco. A marriage to someone they met while there. Then you will understand why some of us advise them to be aware and keep their distance from them.

landlord615

Well.. I think u must be open minded nd discuss it till the end...   We r not gighting here. We r dealing with a huge topic.  Nd u. Accused morrocan men. So im morroccan nd im defending my slf since im morocan. But. I think. U r narrow minded nd u d'n wnt discuss it ny more.

Ny way sty. Nd keep judging as u can c.
Thx

landlord615

Please, please try to write English correctly! It's SO hard to try to decipher text language written by someone whose first language is not English.

I'm not trying to be horrible, but just spell the words and don't use abbreviations. I have to keep reading and re-reading your posts to be able to understand them and someone else has already commented on this too.

Anyway, I apologize Nadine, you've asked a question and it's ended up becoming off-topic. I don't live in Marakech. So I will take myself out of this thread.
