maryilyons, you have a miracle there.
You can never ask such a question "how turkish men or people see foreign women". Everything depends on the person, it is an individual thing. People who arent used to think much will think in stereotypes and more sensible people will judge individually.

Let´s talk about european women from different side...
Is is easy to be in relationship with european woman for turkish man?
They are relaxed, they have they plans, they have lot of wishes and have lot of requirements for man.
Often they do not have any ideas about Islam religion and rules.

What a strange thing to say! I have to agree with Suyu, how can you stereotype people in such a way? I don´t know any two people who are the same - in charactisterics, manner, aspirations, personality...

I am not saying that there are not cultural differences. However, how individuals respond to cultural differences varies enormously depending on their life experience, education, personality etc.

I agree. I think that for any kind of relationship to work, there has to be an understanding on both parts of the different cultures, religion, experiences. Everything really.

Also language plays a huge role. Subtleties get lost in translation and problems arise. Intercultural relationships take make work, in my opinion, but are very worth it !

I agree with the people who say that it´s about the individual. I don´t like it when European are stereotyped as people withour morals who know nothing about other cultures or relgions. THANK YOU
I know more about the Islam than my Turkish partner does! At least I read the quran (okay, a translation but better than nothing) while he didn´t. And no, I didn´t read it because of him. Read it years before I even met him. I am also not a drunken *insert bad word here*. I don´t drink alcohol! And no, not because of my partner. I never felt the need to drink, even though I´m a Western university student So maybe I don´t fit the stereotypical view that some Turkish people have of Westerns girls, but my guess is that a lot of stereotypes are wrong, So are a lot of stereotypes about Turkish men. My boyfriend is not the typical Turkish macho He is not scared because of my feministic views. I didn´t have to convince him about women´s rights or anything. His views on the rights of women are very similar to my views, and that´s all because of his own experiences.
