I'm a day late and probably a dollar short on this aspect of the discussion, but thought I'd throw my two cents in here anyway. I've seen a lot of couples go through Casablanca. And to be honest I've

Hi Everyone, I know if my husband reads this he will get mad. He really tries to discourage me from posting on VJ for reasons of this very topic. He feels that most of the couples on here (most, not

First and foremost, I'm not here to denigrate anyone and telling it like it has always been my style on VJ. Just sayin'. The sad part of immigration-based relationships is perception. Everyone from

hey....everyone has their own turn ons....lol And seriously....some of these moroccan men love them some "cuddly" women :rofl: Even though ppl in the US would pay big money for the metabolism of some of these Moroccans who "can't gain weight no matter what they do"....I know many Moroccans that WISH they could gain weight....so maybe that's why many of them are attracted to more "well rounded" or "healthy" women (as i've heard them called in morocco).....just sayin :whistle: But weight is definitely something I noticed that moroccan women (that i had experience with) don't really worry about as much...the ones I know are very comfortable with how they look no matter what shape that may be. Just another thought.

Sister, there is cuddly and then there is 400lbs. Oh and if the chick looks like his grandmother - #######?!?!?!?

Or worse what if she looked like Heidi Fleiss ? :unsure:

yes...i know...lol....i'm just sayin a whole relationship shouldn't be determined as fraud just because of physical differences....like i said, everyone has their own tastes in their choice of SO...even in the US u see ppl together & wonder...what happened there....and they r madly in love....i'm not sayin tat is always the case, but its something that should just be assumed...they don't "fit" together so its fraud.

This is a thought I've not fleshed out too much but I wanted to throw it out there. What I've noticed is the Consulate doesn't like it when the Westerner is 'trying too hard.' For example, say you're a regular American/Western woman, who likes to drink and smoke. Wears skirts and loves her Big Mac. Now, after your three-month long relationship, suddenly you're fasting for Ramadan, wearing the hijab, saying 'Alhamudilah' after every sentence. Swearing off pork and alcohol. (Yes, I'm using extreme, exaggerated examples but hopefully, you get what I mean).

Of course, showing some interest is normal and you do want to be familiar with certain aspects of your spouse's culture (my husband will watch a Bollywood movie with me now and then and shows some interest in cricket news) but even I would think it was weird if he was suddenly a fast-believer in Astrology, got an 'om' tattooed on his arm or wore Fab India kurtas all the time.

Where do you draw the line between 'mere curiousity/I want to more know about where he/she comes from' and 'going overboard?'

I probably am not explaining this well but would like to hear about your thoughts.
