i was thinking of starting to write a blog about girls who have/had turk bf´s or husbands. I wanted people to share about their stories, experiences, and advices, etc. but most important of all, i also wanted to start this because i also want people, specially women, to be aware of turkish men who con girls. As much as possible i wanted my blog to be non-biased as possible.

 

I did get a comment from one woman. She told me that she has been traveling to Turkey for 15 years, and that starting up a blog like this could backfire on me, because women who go to Turkey for sex, wouldn´t pay attention anyway.

 

She also said that if i also have a turk bf, and that if i really loved him, why would i even bother starting up a blog like this? and that if my bf agreed with me to do this, that he has no respect for his country at all... i don´t seem to understand though, why she would think that he has no respect for his country if he is allowing me to do this...

 

anyway.... i wanted your opinion. If i started out a blog about this, what would be the effects? And was she right about what she said? and that should i still pursue on doing this?

My thoughts of this: If you think it´s necessary or fun to write it, then don´t let someone stop you - especially not some woman who you don´t know and who only reacted to a question.

 

About the girls/women going for sex: they won´t read it I think, why should they? They are willing to pay for the ´business´. And most of the naive ones - who go unprepared, and fall for these gorgeous blue/brown/black eyes - might read it but they will not easily recognise themselves (not even after several requests for money for three shops, eight laptops/cell phones and five surgeries for family members).

 

I think you can respect a person, religion, country very much and still critizise it. Still point out the bad parts. I even think that if you do not critizise that you do not respect because then you don´t use the part what is meant for that: brains! So, in my view, your bf can still be a ´real, good´ Turk and critizise his country. BTW - he does not need to agree with you, does he? You are a grown-up woman who doesn´t need his permission I hope?

Why would you write a blog about Turkish men when there are so many wonderful things in this world to write about

There are lots of similar blogs out there but if you can bring a fresh perspective....go for it.  It doesn´t really matter what anyone else thinks....blogs are all about what you think.  {#lang_emotions_wink}

 No!  {#lang_emotions_noway}

 

I tried once, but it was so boring, just like reading about someones day to day activities.  As for writing a blog about Turkish men, I really don´t see the point and as Ae says, there are far more interesting things in the world than writing about men.

 

I really can´t see who it would help apart from you perhaps........................ people have to learn by their own mistakes.  I have never been a great one for listening to anyone, I have always preferred to make my own mind up and there must be plenty of women out there like me. {#lang_emotions_unsure}

thanks everyone... i just thought that it would at least be a little bit of help to make people and women aware of the situation. Maybe it won´t help much, but at least it could help them think twice maybe? 

 

anyway.. yeah, it may be like more like a "teenager" stuff, (i guess i´m still immature that way... hehehe... ) but i think it´ll help other older women as well, (is it naive to even think that? ) who are often used as a ticket to get a visa. i just wanted to start this out more of an "awareness" thing. I can´t expect people to change what they do because of what they read on the blogs, (actually more like a site now... still working that out... ) but at least, i´m hoping to make them aware of what is going on.

 

i just had my doubts starting this out because of the negative reactions i had about it. but like i said, i didn´t want it to be biased. i know a some good stories about turkish men with their women as well.

 

I agree... there are loads of other good stuff to write about. This just happens to be what i´m interested in... And no, i didn´t need to ask for my bf´s permission.... but i´m sure he wouldn´t hold it against me if i started out something like this... He feels ashamed really that tourist industries are given a bad name because of these types of men. anyway... thanks guys...

 go for it, do it, at least give a try. and you will see. i think you have nothing to loose.

 

and dont listen to old ladies they love young fresh dark turks, so they will not encourage you for this.

 

your idea, go for it, and let me know i will read your blogs.
