Serial Turk Seekers!

I have noticed that many of our translation forum regulars seem to end one relationship (or in some cases marriage!) with a Turkish man and then embark straight away on another!!

As most are from different countries, I can only assume that they get straight back online and target Turkish dating sites - yet again managing to find the ones who do not speak English!!! One member in particular seems to have a couple of men on the go at the same time

At least three members had HORRIBLE relationships/marriages and yet seem to have fallen back into exactly the same kind of relationship with someone else!

WHY?!?!?!

I think it might be a psychological phenomenon, similar to "serial killers". Serial killers kill people until they are stopped or until they have nobody to kill. Serial Turk seekers, similarly, mutilate themselves, and they will continue to do so until they are either stopped or until there is nothing left of themselves that they can mutilate more... That's my theory.. :-S

good theory,if I can add something to extend this hypothesis ,there is still irrational bond between a serial womenizer and his victim like between an alcoholic and his wife,etc...Some women like to sink or float on the surface of belief that their love will change such seekers into decent ones,preferably settled family men.In order to be such a saviour or Salvation Army members they are ready to share their incomes,they move the earth and all universe to be with them just for one touch or simply they tolerate no command of international language.Such SA members have a thought deeply rooted in their hearts that they will be the one,special,etc..love for the men while the men are always seeking for the first one

On a more serious note, I am convinced that it has a lot to do with women learning at a young age that it's ok for them to suffer. They never learn to have high expectations of men, to expect to be pleased by men, to stand up for their own benefits and interests or that they are worthy for more then just their bodies. Instead, they learn that it's their responsibility to take care for their relationships, to "make them work" and above all, that they NEED a boyfriend!

Exactly,but isn't it because of historical mirroring ?It still seems fashionable to have a boyfriend no matter what circumstances are.It looks like ex gratia payment.Being a voluntary slave addicted to the moods of one's master,pampering him and his will.
no cure,sad
btw I was extremely serious in former post.

Well.. I was referring to my post and its seriousness . Look, whether it's historical, or cultural, or supernatural, or because of the US, UK, Saudi Arabia and Turkey... it is all bullshit. Why are we so dedicated to the status f*cking quo? Change is GOOD!!!! Stand up for yourself women!!! Like the woman in this video did:

I am miss America! lol
