Quoting KeithL: I agree with deli 100%. My experience is the same, but reversed. I was planning on working in Turkey only 2 years. But life does end after work in the states also. The streets in America are boring. Everyone is isolated in their cars. My friends and family back home think I'm making a huge mistake by staying so long. But really, my 6 years in Istanbul have been some of the best of my life. I will be deeply saddened when the day comes (sooner than later) that I will go back to Minneapolis for good. But I will take back with me some of the best memories of my life. |
This is really interesting: KeithL isnt a girl and has no turkish boyfriend
May be it's not about love/romances but about the the whole country with everybody in it?

Quoting teaschip1:
Your life is what you make of it. I'm in America and it's never boring for me. Maybe you need to try a different city in America. How about LA, Chicago or New York? I'm sure you will see plenty of action in any of these cities. Just make sure you don't carry your wallet on you.  Just teasing, I tend to feel safe in any city in the U.S. |
i really do wonder the life there... as if it is the same like we saw on the movies etc...

I have to say FF makes a pretty clear point here It is also so easy to fall in love when it is holiday. Away from all the trouble, the sun is shining and you feel better.
Spain once was one of the cheapest countries for Dutch youngsters to go on holiday. And yes, many did find Xavis and Pedros. Now that the cheapest country has become Turkey, suddenly the lovers names are Mustafa and Ali.
It is not about where one comes from, it is just what the availability is and what you are looking for

So it's all economics? Demand and supply?

Quoting SuiGeneris: well actually i think it would be different than here if i was in amsterdam |
Ofcourse there are nice places in Amsterdam, especially if you come from a smaller city like me. And even I dont really get bored with my friends, always meeting up in the same pub on saturday. But I have to admit, I do miss just walking down the street just to buy icecream in the middle of the night, or sit down somewhere for soup. And in Turkey the streets remain full with people till midnight. İn Amsterdam the streets are empty at that time because people are either at home or in a club and wont leave before 4

Quoting Deli_kizin: If you love dark eyes you might as well love all the men from Spain to China, and if you like hairy, you can find them in Maghreb as well. Warm blood, you can find in Italy too. A rich cultural background? Take a greek or a mongol. If you love drinking tea in a special way, they drink tea in a special way in the south of brazil too.
I dont believe there to be a specific answer to your question, İzah. When I fell in love with Kadir, I had no 'real' knowledge about Turkey and its culture. I fell for who he was, most probably shaped through the culture, but still the person he is.
- I like the things from the Turkish culture and have developed a deep love for the country and its language, even that I started studying it at university, and even if, Allah korusun, Kadir and I would ever split up, I would continue my studies. But this love has come after I had already fallen for the man.
It is hard to seperate character from cultural background, but in the end, people choose their own things from their culture. |
I agree on this and your last post as well. But it does'nt explain why there so many relationships between european girls and turkish man. Some searches of the internet teach us it happens a lot more than e.g. with spanish boys.

Sort of
Ofcourse its more complex than that, Im referring to the post before about girls to marry and girls to have fun with.
But when looking from the other side, why 'us western girls' love Turkish boys, I believe there to be a certain degree of search and you will find (or be found), yes.

As I said, that may have something to do with the switch from holiday countries from Spain to Turkey. The past few years, Turkey has been one of the most popular holidaydestinations, therefore more intercultural relationships.
At the time Spain was the number one, maybe some ten years ago, the total of people going on holiday, was smaller too. People lived in less luxury and could not afford such holidays. Nowadays people can and they choose Turkey.
Maybe this could explain the 'large' numbers?
