Quoting Badiabdancer74: My favorite most flamboyant example of this man is on the main strip of shops by the Hali hotel...Karakoy district I think near eminonu Istanbul. Anyway his line was "Hello! I am charismatic Ali Baba!" I think he might have been a prostitute but I'm not sure. He looked like an extra on the Sopranos with his pinstripe polyester suit! |
Anti dudu tactic: I don't speak English AT ALL in the tourist area near Hali Hotel! Talk turkish with your friends as you walk along, and the dudus leave you alone. No more "alo Madame" "You want nice boyfriend who doesnt need viagra" etc etc...

Quoting Elisabeth: I sometimes scratch my head and wonder how some of these women can be so niave. I thought we all knew what the "pick up lines" are...what the tell tale signs are of how to spot a con man, but apparently not. |
You hit the nail on the head there!! This is right where my sympathy runs out!!!  You can only mop up so much olive oil with your piece of bread

There was a big Viagra sign outside the chemist in Oludeniz and I thought that must be for the tourists, not for the Turkish men

Quoting AEnigma III: In my continuing research into this much-loved subject I have noticed a NEW pattern!
Whilst the "romance" seems to begin with a LOT of begging and promises from the dudu (including calling her his "wife") I have noticed that after a certain period of time, the dudu backs off and suddenly the tourist girl is doing all the chasing.
At this point, it seems, the girl then "learns the rules". In her desparation to keep the dudu, she starts promising not to go out with friends so often, not to drink, not to wear short skirts etc.
Its also at this point, that the girl involved starts begging for an sms or a phone call or to talk on msn (as if it were diamonds) and begs them to LET THEM call or sms them more often.
End of season arrives. Dudu has no money. He starts inventing stories about operation in hospital, prison, family problems or suicidal thoughts and starts to ask her for money.
The final stage, we all know (Visa, marriage, baby, divorce - not necessarily in that order)
You have to admire these dudus - they REALLY KNOW how to play the game to their advantage |
Part 2:
Relationship ends. Girl stays on Turkish Class, gets spam, checks out their photo, starts talking on MSN with the spammer... and so begins the whole process again!
