Does this ever happen? 

I heard that Turkish men see foreign women like American, British etc women as "easy" and they only use foreign women for sex but then marry a Turkish girl?

Is this true or just another stereotype..

There´re many turkish ppl who got married with foreign women. I Cant say true, just because a few occasions, cant blame the rest. An easy fish has no race and it´s gonna be easy wherever you go.

This is very stupid and racist question.

Why do you think that your people are better than Turkish or anyone else who is not your religion?

 

Why most of British and American people are racists?

I´m not sure if that is as common enough to create a stereotype but I can say that is true in general. I would name a few kinds of relations turkish guys develop with foreign women. 

1- Especially among those working in coastal touristic areas it´s quiet common to have more than one girlfriend at the same time. They are able to "love" a few girls at once. They have sex while they´re on holiday and sometimes ask for money when the girls return, making up tragic stories about themselves. 

 

2. Those who marry elderly women in order to move to a European country, get money and/or get citizenship after a few years. 

 

3. And of course those who develop normal/honest relationships with them. (this group is the minority) 

 

For those who are to raise objection, I have worked in those places as a waiter, bartender etc. when I was younger. So I think I have witnessed enough to make such a categorization. 

PS. I know there are many honest turkish guys who are not like that at all!?

I´m no expert but I believe love exists in Turkey and you should try to behave in any country.

How is this a racist question? :L Its asking if a stereotype is true or not.

Why most Turkish people think everyone else is racist and everyone is against them? Where in my question has discrimination against any person´s race? Please learn the definition of the word "racist" before you start throwing it out there.

I don´t believe this was intended as racist. But it could have been worded better (i.e. the ´they only´ ). It could come across as asking, are Turkish men bad?

I am not from Turkey but I have many Turkish and Arabic friends and they are all great people. And If you don´t like us than go away because such people are not welcome here, but if you are going to show some respect than we can talk friendly And why do you ask such bad questions?

What the hell is wrong with you? Can you not read English all that well? Where did i say i don´t like Turkish or Arabic people? You´re just trying to twist my words for whatever insane reason i have no idea.

People like you are the reason many don´t like Turkish people because you assume everyone has something against you, i have not stated in either the question or comments to you that i don´t like Turkish people and how the hell do you know what my religion is? I think its you who is the racist here not me.
