Quoting Kazantzakis"in the world there is only one woman with so many different faces"and reading some threads here makes me think that we foreign women are so susceptible to the compliments paid by Turkish males.
Wake up...these are only compliments nothing else..so shallow without any deep meaning.
But unfortunately they get their targets and make women vulnerable and later make them suffer..exposing this suffering in more or less weeping posts!
I wonder if it is only naivety or desire to be one special in the world?just a queen for that one...but usually that one has more than one queen to worship in real or virtual life..

I am sure that you don't mean "every" foreign woman and "every" Turkish man. I think that this is the behavior of some men who work on resorts and some vacationers who go to these resorts. I don't think it is fair to judge the entire male population of Turkey and all female foreigners by the translation requests and situations on a website. It seems very unfair. But then again, I can only speak thru my own experiences and all the wonderful people I have met since I have known my husband (who is Turkish).

I think kafesteki kus defined very clearly what she's referring to when she said "foreign women wake up", so really there's no need to be getting defensive about it. And it's not "SOME" men who lie from those you meet on your vacations, but it's "SOME" who don't.

I did not imply that she wasn't clear but was merely adding my perspective which was not meant to seem defensive.

oh god thats well said-SOME men who will NOT lie...
that is why sometimes-i get a "panic atack" when reading translatios- awwrrrrr what if my turkish "boyfriend" is a player-and what if i am sharing him with e.g another user here on TC... - it`s a small world- it could actually happen..

I just think it is wrong to assume that EVERY foreign woman met her Turkish man at a resort (or where ever in Turkey) and fell for some compliments and a handsome face. Not all of us are in that situation. Not all of us need translations. I just have a different view, I guess.

I do not judge the whole population..I am just wondering,wondering,wondering.I put this thread just because of my Turkish friend.He got married a month ago to a beautiful,hard working, good Muslim girl.Of course he loves her he says but it is not an obstacle for him to have virtual contacts with others telling them they are the most beautiful he has ever seen.He is not from holiday resort,in the eyes of society he is a decent family man!
so what is the matter???lack of self esteem in case of some men?low self esteem or just desire for some adventure?or perhaps Sultan's attitude?
And of course i agree on all nice people you have met but it is not a point...I think some women give an opportunity for Turks to cheat and behave in this conquering way. And later face the music...perhaps it is because men in Europe lost their ability to worship a woman being concentrated on making career or something else...
