Why are British women going to Turkey for sex?

Yeah. Every single one

not a cultural stereotype at all 🤦🏻‍♀️

It appears that ‘obviously’ isn’t the case for a lot of posters, as people constantly rise to their bait 🤷🏻‍♀️

Im absolutely intrigued what mental gymnastics women must go through to convince themselves it’s genuine. I wonder if you did some testing would these women have lower iq‘s or alternatively have suffered some kind of trauma which makes them able to believe it, I’d guess the latter. It’s absolutely fascinating.

My Mum went to the West Indies? Jamaica? No, she went of her own accord.

There's no fool like an old fool.

Women definitely don't have lower iQ's and that's coming from a man, i don't think everyones reasoning would be the same, some would do it out of desperation, some would do it because they have convinced themselves that they are past it, some will do it just because they like those certain types of men, some might do it because they've watched a bit too much Shirley Valentine or the latest rendition of 50 Shades of Grey woke up an itch...there will be many reasons for it and we shouldn't judge. It's not for everyone granted, but it's very real for those who choose to do it. If everyone was the same life would be boring wouldn't it.

Some do it because it's a fantasy
I know of a woman that goes to the far east to fulfil a fantasy.

Please, I have a higher IQ than the vast majority of people in this country. There is nothing fake about romance with men from Turkey. They like older women, the men are more mature, more philosophical, they can match me on a fundamental level that men back home cannot. They are also good lovers but they are kind and complimentary. They never ask for anything more than your company and I love that about the guys.

One of the men I dated a few years back was so honourable that he said he wouldn't sleep with me until we were married, to prove his love for me. In the end I wanted something more and moved on but he would have kept his word I have no doubt about it. How many British men just use you for sex and then ghost you? Happens all the time to my friends. So which one of us is the smarter ultimately?

"Please, I have a higher IQ than the vast majority of people in this country."

Not that you're modest or anything 😂

Are we? I highly doubt there are many who can’t just walk to the local pub for that.

You again. 🙄

What? Over 50s women have sex? And women don't "need" sex.

Same with men going to Thailand - no different at all. Whether men or women going off and having with sex with someone much younger in a less 'powerful' 'status' position that you... power imbalance caused by financial differences - almost prostitution.

“One of the men I dated a few years back was so honourable that he said he wouldn't sleep with me until we were married, to prove his love for me. In the end I wanted something more and moved on but he would have kept his word I have no doubt about it.”

And your IQ is so big that you can’t see that’s just to get a married visa and his hands on your money quicker 😂

What makes you say that? Are you his mother or something? 🤔

And he's probably Muslim. So that's why

Maybe recommend them to each other....

My husband and I went to the Gambia and were SHOCKED!
We had no idea about it all and had ended up there after being in Senegal and people telling us how nice it was (travelling for a whole extended honeymoon)

we went to the wedding of one of the locals we rented air bnb from. He had a huge mansion rented for him by a German woman who had gone home to die (cancer) but still wanted to maintain him. Then he married this old haggard almost 70 year old woman. He was 19!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They stayed together for quite a while but broke up after she’d brought him to England and he got fat, cut off his long locs and lost his beach boy six pack. He’s still over here but fortunately with a woman his own age now.

she goes back to the Gambia regularly. Horrid.
