Yes there are loads of them! MSN groups - go and have a look, type in Turkey or Turkish and you will find them.



I did.. Some serious holiday-resort-workers-bashing going on there!! Giving full detailed descriptions, calling people by their names and say that they are liars
Never seen anything like it before, and I can't say I like it...



Me neither :-S Sometimes the bashing is so harsh that I can't help but feel sorry for these men. And after all, I can't help but think that most of these women must be either very naive or shallow to believe in such a love in the first place Or is this very short-sighted of me?

Ohh well Im off to clean my 'old' bedroom before I deserve to spend my time here.

Well I have also seen girls who go to turkish tourist cities to meet these guys. If they think these guys will not see any other girls, fall in love and want to genuinely marry them after spending a holiday in Turkey, then it's their own fault. How naive can someone be?

So what you are saying is, you cannot have a relationship with a Turkish guy that you met in a tourist resort?

I met someone from a tourist resort in Turkey. We had fun, i went home, now am still in contact with him not knowing what to expect. I like to enjoy things while they last. We might make it we might not. I don't call myself naive. Am not giving him money, or a visa. Am just enjoying the experience.

No of course it's possible to establish a genuine relationship (I have seen this as well), but often if you're looking to play, you're going to find a player.
But it's not a good idea to come to a turist resort and think that you can find something real in just a week or two. I think it's like a curse that a large part of the men working there (not all) learn this unnatural behaviour towards women and treat them thereafter.

In my own relationship we sort of met like that. That is, we weren't together, just had a really good connection - and I certaintly wasn't looking to meet anyone. We didn't talk much after I went to my home country again until I decided to go to Istanbul to see if it would lead anywhere, and it did. I think that I was lucky to have met him when we were both really young (minors) - before he had a chance to be influenced by the behaviour pattern described in these msn groups lol No that's not really true, but still. It's not almost three years ago we met and everything is great and we have great plans for our future.

Sure, actual relationships can be formed but the odds are small. What I'm complaining is about the countless women coming to (in my case) Alanya each year thinking they'll find a handsome dark man who will treat them as a princess, gets surprised when she finds out that she's not the only woman in his life and comes next year in search for something better.

I would never, ever encourage someone to meet a partner like this. Even if you succeed, it's going to be a struggle. It's almost like setting yourself up to failure. In my case, it has worked out (though many battles are to come) and I think he's the best thing that has ever happened to me, but I would never do it again. It's just too painful.

Oh My God. There are loads! am a bit scared of what i might find. My Turkish Boyfriend asked me if i go onto any Marmaris MSN chats. I wondered what he was talking about. When i asked him what he was talking about, he said, "never mind". Should i be worried!!



well either he's on there or his friends are because otherwise he wouldn't know about them..sounds like a guilty conscience to me ..go on there and check

I'm courious to see if anyone from Alanya is "reported" on there but I can't find any. If there was, there's probably a great chance that I know them

The turkish word for this kind of men is "maganda", or? I can't exactly remember..
