The original poster is asking about starting a relationship with a Turkish man.   I should think between you the two of you are enough to put her off the idea for life!

 

I´m going out for a drink now - why don´t you too do the same (good job you´re 3000 miles apart though!)

 

Goodnight.

Thanks for the advice bout the relationship front, think i´m going to work at it.  Long distance i guess is hard.  I´m thinking we´ll just see how it goes.  See if he makes the effort.

Kýro, keko,hýrbo, zonta, maganda,hanzo and many other words have been traditionally used to describe ethnicities in Anatolia. Kýro and keko are Kurdish words meaning: man, pal, friend. In Turkish however these words describe rotund people lacking manners who show off with the hair on their chest and arms. Zonta and maganda are two words with similar meanings probably created by some artists. Hýrbo and Hanzo are used to describe Anatolian Turks. Much of this stuff has been inherited from the Ottomans who had despised whoever lived in Anatolia.

 

It is not nice to use any of these words.

can`t come up with a response? <img src='/static/images/smileys//lol.gif' alt='lol'> (fast)

 

Now LIR, this one is for you, a new Turkish word;

 

"kabiz"

 

That word sums up the current mental state of theH. <img src='/static/images/smileys//lol.gif' alt='lol'> (fast)

 

 

 

if you`re having a difficulty with understanding what you read, let me tell you again, unlike "nigger" "kro" doesn`t refer to a specific race. I`ve told that to many people including Turks and Kurds, and noone got offended as much as you did. I`m wondering why <img src='/static/images/smileys//lol.gif' alt='lol'> (fast)

 

 

dude... please stop making personal attacks at LIR because she rightfully deleted your post. you know... those posts of yours will be deleted if you continue on doing this.

phew...

Generically, I agree with what you are saying..

They are the many words we use whoever we see in lower category without realizing how racist they are. 

When you call a person kro, what you are saying that ´you are vulgar and you are  as vulgar  as a kurd´.

Because the implication of it that ´all kurds are that vulgar´.

It does not matter if the person you are saying it to is not a kurd..

It does not matter if you mean it is a joke (what sort of joke that might be?)!! 

It does not matter what you think it is..

The matter is how  it is percieved by the others especially by the Kurds..

If I was a Kurd and a brainless person makes that racist joke in front of me, I would be fu*king talking about ´that person´s mother and her waxing habits´ for sure and that racist could not do anything about it.

Anyway, there is racism there for sure, but  because it is being used by many closet racists, does not make it less of a shameful thing!!

I can`t see any personal attack in those sentences.

 

why are you getting so protective about LIR whenever she and TheH are mentioned in the same context? Any particular reason? <img src='/static/images/smileys//lol.gif' alt='lol'> (fast)

yeah, there are a couple conspiracy theories there, I´m sure you have some of your own. lol

it is a personal attack, so please stop it. LIR has not said anything offensive or personal to you, so keep it professional.

The moment he starts asking for money, dump him. If he tells you a sad story about how his little sister needs shoes, and asks you to buy these shoes, dump him. Don´t get overwhelmed by the things he says. It´s not about what he says, but about what he does.

Turkish men are very good with worlds...usually Mine is a bit of a ...well, never mind But usually women get overwhelmed by sweet words, I love you´s (after the first week!) and romantic gestures.

In the end, roses don´t matter, words don´t matter, what really matters is what he really does, how he really lives his life.

I´ve been with my Turkish partner for over three years and I have seen couple crash and burn in large numbers. Simply because the girls reacted SOOO differently to these men than they would in their own country. They would never fall for these sweet lines out of the mouth of a ginger English guy

There are a lot of red signals you should watch for. For example, does he work in the tourist industry? And if that is the case, in what kind of business? The boys/men who work in bars/cafe´s and the like often flirt with girls who are with large groups or with their families, to make the whole group come again and again to their establishment. And they keep in contact with these girls so the girls also send their friends over to have a drink there... big business!

If his phone is turned off a lot...red signal.

If he asks for money, or starts talking about money problems when you are not that long together...red signal. Ofcourse, if you are together for a long time it´s normal that you share these kind of problems... I complain about my phonebill to my askim a lot too But I don´t expect him to pay it for me, and it works the other way around too.

If he says I love you on the first day...red signal... that means he says it a lot, and easily, and probably not only to you.

I think you can think of a lot of other red signals yourself too.

 

Good signals...if he is not the don juan type If he takes you to his family after a while, especially his mom. If he is interested in the things that are happening in your life, and if he tells you private stuff about himself that he doesn´t tell others. Also good, if you are very poor and he knows it If you are about the same age is also a good signal. And people say language can be overcome... well, I think that´s a bit strange... I think language is very important! If you don´t understand eachother, then ask yourself why did you get together in the first place?! Than your relationship must be based on something other then personalities or intellectual connection...what is left is sex, money, and visa

 

 I loved this!!!
