Egyptian men marrying Canadian women to emmigrate.

[Yaser Youssef]

why is the issue suddenly about how arab men are so bad ??
arab men are like any other men .. some are good and some are bad , so if you run into a bad man that dosnt mean that all of them are bad ....
you had a bad experience with one of a billion arabic men , i bet you that there are at least half a billion other men that are kind and love worthy and willing to establish a family , not for immigration !!
try again ... you could and most probobly have ran into a bad canadian man ... or am i wrong ?
belive me arabic men are not like that specially EGYPTIAN ones , not because im one of them but becouse that is a fact !!
we do think very deeply of our companion moe than we do of ourselves !!

My first post of course was a joke. Egyptians are quality people with realistic sense of history and a thoughtful eye to the future.....other Arabs???not so sure..They tend to worship and revere the wrong people..i.e. Terrorists..That must be addressed before the world shows them respect..

May i ask how you met your husband and how did he *con*(sorry for the word) you into believing in him and in his love for you. I am convinced my man loves me, but I have read so many negative things...I dont know what to think. Any advice, good or bad...any hints or hind sight on your part..I would appreciate...thank you

I am also marrying an Egyptian man in the next few months and have heard many of the same - positive and negative about interfaith & inter-cultural marriages. I love my fiance, but must admit that the comments sometimes get to me. How did you meet your Egyptian man and how long have you been together? Where are you planning to live and have you discussed the topic of religion and children yet? I also live in Edmonton and would like to discuss this with you - if you would like.

I am a Canadian gay man and going to marry an Egyptian. I hope he is also gay and I hope his religion allows him to marry without a hassle. I don't want any problems with the mosque or anything. I hope he is not using me to get into Canada.

My advice for all women thinking of getting involved in a long distance romance is DONT!!!!

I am Egyptian Canadian from Calgary and I seen a lot of Egyptian with Canadian women and their releationships was okay if not good. Actually I find Egyptians in general adapt to their new environment very well. I hate when ppl generalize about a whole race or ppl or a country. So get ur life straight and dont complain about ur wrong choice of man. Grow up and admit it is ur own mistake not the Egyptian men's mistake.

[amigo sunday]

may be he is not the bad one may be because you brought to canada or where ever you think he is your slave.try and think of him as a partner instead of thinking of him like he owe you may be your life will be better.and if you are not happy get divorced.but infront of anyone who reads this message if you divorce the next man for you will be egyptian.god help men

[Ghetto life]

Attention please,
I'm not Egyptian but i see a lot of racism and stupid discrimination!
let's start by the main story, the Canadian woman.
it's all your fault, a simple problem, became an anti-terrorism signs and bla bla bla.
focus people, this women failed in her marriage, she have to put the blame on somebody!
one woman judge a nation of 70 million!
and stupidly some believed her!
i'm not sayin that she's lying, it just someone's story!
About the integration of any immigrant is the responsibility of every Canadian who loves Canada
ok for example i believe that the English women are the most impolite females in the world!
what you think? I'm not Irish any way!
so you take it seriously even i believe that for real!
"that their men have basically used them to get here"
so what, you think that Canada is the best country in the world people just dying to get there?
it happened all over the world, i think that Canadian girls are the most open-minded females in the world, they except the others differences!
even if that was true i guess is the most noble act could be done for a human being hope for better life is everybody's right!
wait a minute, what if the is love!
personally i love Canadian girls, no i don't, i just love the female innocence in the Canadian Avril Lavigne that make me dream to marry a Canadian girl!
that's it!
this is
email if you're Avril!
i'm kiddin'

Im really surprised at the comments of the egyptian men and canadian woman. I met my husband on line and we got to know each other that way as well as talking. I did go to Egypt to met him and his family. To make sure the this was for real on-line as well as in person. I lived in egypt for 6 months before marring him. He does not want to come to canada, or this negative reason. My husband loves me today as much as he did the first day we met. So it does work, if u find the right Man.

[Sarah Montreal Canada]

I was involved for over 6 years with an Egyptian man who is still a compulsive liar, cowwardly, deciptive, manipulative, neurotic, vindictive, and with no scruples, no decent or mature part of him. I found out later he married an English women to be able to travel to the UK, then married a German women for work, then got involved with another British woman for money, then an American women to travel to the US. All of him he used, mentally abused, humilated in public, was vindictive to. Immature , a mumma's boy, he could do nothing for himself, took credit for things he did not do... In fact he has used every foreigner he came into contact with. When he met me he came to me for sympathy, help and freindship as well as support. I had not a single intention of getting involved with him because of the reputation Egyptian men have. However I had no problem supporting hima and being a freind. He used me, lied about me. Then he (says) he was forced and pushed into marrying (orfi marriageGayEgypt.com Egypptian woman who was the most manipulative,jelous, pittiful, cruel person I have ever met. Not attractive in anyway.. and blamed others for marrying her. She ended up using him for money and much more.. He tried to divorce her but she had all the goods on him. He infact uses everyone around him.
His entire family was like this and I learned that Egyptian women disliked foreign women because they take away there men.
I have a strong personality but still he managed to use me, manipulate me. At one point he would send those stupid silly corny messages ...
You know the ones... the moon is you.. you are my honey bee, my guardian angel.. who actually writes like that... well if you watch Egyptian movies and listen to music..
Arabic is rich language with many worlds for love, and all that but Egyptian men do not mean it. So we western women who are not used to words like this , Egyptian charm gallantry beleive this to be real.. it is not. Once the chase is over and you are his .. or worst you sleep with him.. well that is is..the long converstations stop, the e mails are rare, the sms's and the words telling you how beautiful you are stop!
I live for my work a few months in Egypt and else where. I have learned that you can have Egyptian men as freinds BUT only those from good open minded families who have travelled. I never knew what a GOOD family or a LOW class family meant until I met other Egyptians. Unlike Canada class does matter in Egypt. It has nothing to do with money but rather upbrining, education and exposure to the outside world.
My suggest is do not get involved with young Egyptians who have nothing.. older Egyptian men who are well established are more mature. Every non Egyptian woman with one exception that I know has had or is having a miserable life married or not with the Egyptian men. Many are hypocrits in their lives.. do not blame it on them but society.
Ladies remember your selfrespect, your pride, your independance.
Read the Montreal Gazette article August 18, 2007 on marrying away from your country.. If people like Madonna and Grace Kelly have problems.. Imagine it is difficult for a Canadian to Marry and Australian, or New Zelander whom you think have the same culture but we don't... imagine marrying an Egyptian where the culture is even more different and I am not talking about religion but culture and mentality.

[michelle]

i totally agree with you there. there are some good and some bad but you get there everywhere

[Khaled - Egypt]

Dear All,
Do you think that Egyptian Men are different from Any other Men all over the world ?
Why ?!! is it because of the Food we Eat or the Water We drink or maybe the Air we Breath ,
We are all live on Earth, there is the Good and there is the Bad everywhere on earth.
I am working in Travel Industry in Egypt and I have the Experience to meet alot of European men and women whether coming for travel or working in Egypt in the field.
And Believe me some of the Women from European country just have an Egyptian boyfriend during their stay for only SEX. When their Work finish they just finish the relation and go away.
and that happen from mainly the European women, so shall we judge all European women that they Pick a SEX Slave during their stay ? or there is Bad and Good everywhere on Earth

[Lawyer - in Toronto]

I have been seeing an Egyptian man. I just got back from Egypt a few weeks ago. We never talked of marriage and now we are because we are crazy for eachother...wow...lots of bad experiences here. My guy is a momma's boy, he is messy. But he is NOT hot to trot to come to Canada, as his family has piles of money, but he will for me. I am still skeptical however..Can the women who are marrying or dating Egyptian men send their emails I would love to chat.

[Hani leila]

Ahh yes some egyptian men are silly I say this because I get som many myspace messages from egyptian men that are looking 'for love and romantic beautiful angel.... blah blah lots of cheesey things" which is a bit shady... like they don't know me, and I figure they are sending these messages to every female hoping that there will be that one that will actually reply.

how you met your husband and how long have you known him before you agreed to this marriage?

Well I'm very sorry about your terrible experience. I guess my point is this is not every egyptian/mid-eastern man's motives, it is a big stereotype and like all stereotypes, they are many times true!! Your story is a story many women can learn from, you gotta be wise and know who's real and who's phony and who is taking advantage of you. There are many warning signs.

You don't want to go to egypt to marry a man, I guess it depends on circumstances but really if it is a guy you met online? Women don't have the rights in egypt that we are accustomed to in america especially domestically, and anyone who is going over to a country to marry a man has to research EVERYTHING. What are the domestic abuse laws, are women allowed to divorce (in many countries men can divorce but not women, only if they have husband approval...), where do kids go (Usually with man)... it is very different. You are used to American way and being a woman in America, he is used to mid east culture and being a man.

I have read a lot because my love from high school was an egyptian and he had to move back to egypt after a year. We are still in love! Always on the phone and sending post mail and email... for two years. This is soo much work, I advise women to not date foreign men as exotic and saavy they are, their visas expire and they leave, taking your heart with them!!! I always look foward to his love letters in the mail and when he will come back to america T___T
