Quoting Boop: In my experience Lyndie - Turkish men are ultra protective of European women friends - I think it is just the custom -I dont think there is an ulterior motive. They seem to think that females are in mortal danger of attack from every other man. Isn't it a nice feeling to be thought of as a delicate, precious female for once instead of the capable independent woman we know we really are. Especially flattering when the man is half our age!! It is probably more about their pride in being the ultimate protector. Lovely though isn't it - especially for us olduns!!  |
HEHEH!
I don't remember saying I was 'old'

Great essay - fascinating insight into what it might be like living with a Turkish man?! Completely smothering by the sounds of it, good intentions gone way over the top? I wonder if this is how they treat their Turkish friends.
Can't wait for the rematch - I wonder how he will cope when he is in your care?! Look forward to hearing the story

Even if I like independence, I'm so used to the idea of being looked after by boyfriend that I'm afraid when I leave this country and have a boyfriend, I'll think that he doesn't care for me or love me enough...

Quoting kelley: But one thing I am puzzled on is the escorting
to the toilet? I have not heard of this but I maybe read that part wrong.
|
hehehe you didn't read it wrong.I know it sounds weird, but it's not uncommon that especially if you're in a bar-rastaurent or if the toilet is a bit far at an unproper place, the boy takes you to the toilet and waits until you get out and takes you back because other men may harass you on the way.
