I've gotten at least 6 mails from men from the Middle East looking for wives.
No nonsense. I mean, I don't f*ck on the first date, nor thee I do wed on first contact.

I mean seriously, what are they thinking? I realize that there are culture differences but in all fairness like, proposals of marriage is moving a little too fast for me. It's a copy and paste too so I think if I were a bad sack of potatoes I'd get the same offer.

I even whisper " I love you" to my pets. I may have commitment issues but surely this is farcical to any sensible person?

I think for research purposes I am going to propose to everyone I mail from now on.

Good idea! I like that one...rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing (Seriously, I wouldn't try it. They'll think you're very weird.)

I know what you mean. I get them from many different places, but I think they all trace back to Nigeria.

Best offer I ever got on a second date was
"We could do it in the car, but you look too sober for that?"
Needless to say, there was no third date.

I´ve got a lot too, mainly from Muslims. I keep telling them I´m not a virgin, I won´t breed them no kids, I´m a superstitious atheist and will not convert, and I will not accept 3 other wives. Not even seems to be a turn off for them. dunno confused laugh

I´ve got some from Indian and other asian men too, though. They all propose on the second chat or so, and they do seem to believe we´re in a relationship because we´ve exchanged mail twice. Maybe it´s cultural... I used to teach kids at the Lybian Embassy in Brazil and men and women are only allowed to talk formally and in public, except if they´re family. Boys and girls are even taught different subjects and study in different classes. Maybe they take a reply to their mail as acceptance of their wooing. Maybe I´m completely wrong.

dunno
