Quoting AEnigma III:

Well it IS a fact that Turkish men are VERY possessive (MOST Turkish men ). There is definitely a cultural difference to men in the UK, for example.

In the UK there is a completely different attitude to jealousy. UK men don't get jealous if other men look at their girlfriends, or if they wear short shirts etc. because it makes them feel great that they have such an "object of desire" with them and it gives them a "kick" that other men are envious.

If you are out with your bf/gf socially, it is important that, although you arrive as a couple, you are attentive to other people to show respect. It is considered very good manners, for example, to slightly flirt with your friend's gf/bf as it is showing them attention If you are at a party it's completely acceptable to go and talk to other men and even flirt with them to a degree, just so long as you dont take things "too far" When I was out recently a friend of mine was actually complaining that her bf didn't flirt enough or pay enough attention to her friends!

A UK man would not DARE to refuse to let his gf go out on her own or with friends, or even away on holiday on her own. Any men that are "controlling" or too possessive are considered to need psychiatric help!

When you consider ALL the above, you can see why English girls find Turkish men so possessive. There is a REALLY BIG difference

With all respect ,In my humble opinion the title of this thread should be"Help to understand all the men"not only Turkish
We are two different species,which does not mean enemies...Aliens from totally different planets,speaking different languages and seeing the world in different way,no matter what is our cultural background

Quoting catwoman:

their "excessive attention" seems very exotic and charming. Sooner or later however, most of these women realize that it's all about power and control. Sometimes it's hard to get out of these relationships after a while because of the intimidation of the guy who cannot stand the woman leaving him. I would tell these women - don't lose your head, think rationally what this kind of control imbalance may lead to. Love is about mutual respect and listening, not about imposing anything on anybody because of his or her "definition of love".
