i rarely post in the afternoons here because it turns into an arrogant free-for-all. And NO, I am not complaining about it and joining in to keep it going (just to clarify).

You better be complaining about it, otherwise you must go start a positivity thread about arrogant free-for-alls! This thread is clearly for negativity!

*clears throat* I am not complaining and joining in to keep it going. I am simply complaining.

I have been sickened in the past (here and in other groups) the way American women prop up the men from MENA countries while insulting the MENA women.---Well I think they get that from the man.... the man gives his opinion and the women take it....

I hate this even more. Women taking on their husband's opinions as their own. I also hate when they accept the most ridiculous statements at face value as truth.

Why is everyone arguing?

You know what really pisses me off? I didn't win megamillions. What are the chances????

Why is everyone arguing?

Not nearly negative enough.

Hey, no "nice" comments are allowed here!!! BUT, shhhhhhhhhh, I am getting a facial tomorrow, hehe!

TMI!

It's not like I said I was getting a brazilian wax!!!

I think Charles the perv has a different type of facial in mind.

Well, I can think of a few other kinds . . . but I won't repeat them here. Don't want it to come back to haunt me . . . TMI, .

Not with the kind of investigators we have around here. You will be shown your post about facials in the future should you ever deny having one!

I'm sorry you've forgotten the "DUN DUN DUNNNNN" after your post.

You will be deducted 10 points from this round.

Dang it, it's true then, I really shouldn't be allowed to post if I haven't posted before. Everyone's right.

OK, you asked

I cannot believe the personal ####### people post on these boards and then act dumbfounded when people respond unfavorably.

I have been sickened in the past (here and in other groups) the way American women prop up the men from MENA countries while insulting the MENA women.

It disgusts me how some people infantilize their men, talking about them like proud momma's at their first steps. Pride in a husband is one thing, acting like he is a boy is another.

I hate the orientalism syndrome that goes one, where the men are like exotic possessions, while at the same showing disdain for the culture and/or religion.

Is it any wonder that women infantilize their men when you see the vast age differences between them? This is especially poignant when the man is in his 20's - a time I think most Moroccan men (sorry! generalization!) are still living at home, watching soccer at cafes and taking pictures of themselves in muscle t-shirts while fraterniziing with hordes of ambisexual-looking cohorts.

I know the age difference topic has been beaten to death, but it really IS a big trend that contributes to what you are talking about. The "orientalism syndrome" too -- you are right on in saying that. It is compartmentalization, putting this marriage experience in a sort of box to bring out and show off to oneself. I see that this rarely has anything to do with whether the woman has converted or not.

This is why I have joined some groups thinking I would have something in common with other wives of Moroccans and found instead a group of scary people that seem to be sugar-mamas to a motely crue of Moroccan cyber-casanovas (albiet "really nice guys") 20 years and generally 100 pounds their junior.

Sorry, I am a rude cookie tonight.

I have no idea what any of that means...you said this is a negative comment thread. I did a math negative (minus 10 points).

Jeepers, darned if you do, darned if you don't. !!! I even stuck out my tongue!

I hate it when people take things the wrong way! *stamps foot*
