In the beginning you think you are royalty, but the best way to make sure you are safe is to use common sense. In Turkey there are different social norms that you have to follow. Here it is all about being continually conscious about what others are thinking, both if they see you alone with someone, or if a guy is asking you to hang out. At the same time, typical Turkish men are not always to blame.
My personality can, at times, seem very social or flirtatious because I am a bit sarcastic. Have you traveled to Turkey and dated Turkish men? Email us at [email protected] pinkpangea.

He only told me that he going to message and call me if he had free time. And Everytime he calls me, he was in the car or at his work. Guys …I am asking you some advice or any idea about having a long distance relationship with a Turkish man. I married a Turkish man in America 3 months ago and everything has been blissful. He knows my feelings about this but does nothing to change the situation.
The next night we met was my last night in Istanbul before leaving for home. I wanted to make it memorable and so did he. We had a romantic night out, including a cruise on the Bosphorus and dinner on the Asian side.. We both had no expectations and he never promised me anything, and neither did i. All in all, i had an awesome time and probably some of the most romantic times in my life. Its all a mindset to have..
Any relationship across cultural and religious boundaries are not easy to sustain. Never seen or heard of a Turkish man wearing the ring on the middle finger. Maybe he put it there because it is too big for his wedding finger?
Also you have just said everything that I said in the article not sure why you are thinking that I am saying all men are the same?
I read many articles here most of quit pity. I never been married British Women or Europe women. Also she said I can get full permanent visa and after one I can apply British passport.
I had few similar experiences with British girls and Irish girls in UK good experience bad experience. Now I have German girl friend 7 years together I have 2 lovely kids but I m not still married yet for visa even I have now British citizen. Hi Chris, because I was struggling to find out what it was. Hope you keep reading, it has been good to have your input and comments.
No more washing machine! Keep up the good work. He never wanted any money from me. So, are there any other stereotypes we did not prove to be wrong? It is never about race, nationality, religion. That does seem right…. Trinket is exactly right. And I met him here in America, green card in hand…. I finally kicked her out and divorced about 7 months ago.. Cheers From Chicago. I will ask some of my other readers to find out what they think about dates. Thanks for telling me about the washing machine though.
Not sure what that is but will look into it. Sorry to hear that it has been a while since you were last with Murat.
A horrible situation when you are stuck in limbo but I always say what is meant to be will be. This goes on for a few minutes and drives me mad! It still hurts, but it refuses to lie down and die. I wish it would, to be honest. Maybe then I could get on with my life. Personally I think if he was that into you, he would be making an effort to maintain contact.
I think you should try and move on with your life. All signs indict that he has moved on with his. Natalie, thank you for adding that. Have you asked him direct whether there is a future for you both? If not, that is your first step but be prepared for an answer either way. Let me know what he says. Natalie, the Guy that I am telling you, I think I already fall for him.
And I admit we datd, I am very happy when he is in my side. I able to meet his family too. They are all friendly I met them thru Online chat. But something happened and he needs to go back in turkey because of the business. And when he got there I think he changed a lot. He talk to me very seldom.
WHat should I do. Hi I agree with the controlling nature they have I was married to one I am english and my husband beat me slept with other women and then beat me every time he did, and then accused me of destroying his honor when really he did not know the meaning of the word, however saying that I am not so shallow that I think they are all the same, my friend is married to a Turkish man and he worships the ground she walks on as does she him …he is in the uk and works for a living they work very hard at making there relationship work and he would not dream of hurting her,.
Life might surprise you but I would be very weary of trusting a man who had already severed the relationship twice because times got tough. Love is always confusing and never easy Cindy but from reading your story, I think your friends are right. You should move on. He has told you twice that it is over. Hi, i just need a bit of input on my relationship.
I am Angolan, 27 years old and at my place of work i met this Turkish guy who is 30years old. He works here in Angola at a branch of my company. He was persistent and pursued me for 6months before i agreed to date him. He was nice, kind, charming and all the whole lot, said he loved me, told me i was his life and he wanted to marry me.
We talked about kids, where we would settle etc. I cried and begged him, told him i will stand by him no matter what and he said he couldnt. He refused picking my calls and answering my texts or emails, so i tried to forget him.
I asked if thats all he could say after cutting off all communication with me and he replied that we are over and he had nothing else to say, i asked what i did to him and he said it was him as he has no control of his life any more.
So i asked him if he wanted me to wait for him so he could sort out his life and he replied yes. I know he isnt married and he has told me his parents will not have an issue with me but i dnt know if its a lie or if he has a serious relationship in Turkey. How can you love someone one minute and let her go the next minute? Hi Chris, I completely changed themes and then decided that the present one was looking too cluttered so a number of things went including the comment dates.
I thought that new readers might not take notice of some of the comments because they were more than a year old, however they still added value to the conversation. It seems you think different though. Do you think readers want to see dates? I just think something is missing when we have no idea when the posts were made. Comment edited — Before you start writing personal insults as replies, please read the comment carefully.
If you do not understand it, please do not comment! I would like to be your tour advisor, like checking itineraries, giving advise about routes and evaluate prices competitiveness. If you like, I can even accompany you in historical, touristic and gourmet destinations. I love to show people that turkish people are descent and nice. PS: I already have a schengen and england visa. Anyway, Vanesa, if u ever get interested in my offer, you can replay me, as I said, it will be a pleasure for me.
Which you will then pass on to your poor, ignorant wife. Oh my gosh, he is Turkish. EVERY turkish man without exception is contaminated with leprosy and lyssa. Those deseases are transmitted through blood sucking, although lookes some barbaric, its a daily activity of the turks and part of their horrible culture. Also most probably the flag that he gave you is a woodoo witchcraft hex.
He said directly he was horny. That is it! I will remember…either to stop and go now and quick! I think you need to look at what he is saying to find out if it means something. Is he saying he loves you and wants to be with you? Or is he talking to you as a friend? If you do not feel comfortable with the conversations then stop communicating with him.
I have only skim read all this…… I am half Turkish…Turkey is a wonderful and exciting place….. Get over it, there are disappointing men everywhere….. Mostly American women are whore only a few of them are nice women.
I can tell that because I have been in the USA for 3 years. I am sorry for you guys. I am telling my Turkish friends from here. They seems super cool and friendly but in the reality they become so different. If you guys have relationship with them stay away from them or stay in Turkey. I think you did a great job for writing a blog like this. First, i want to write something about Kadir. I think he is not educated well and he is not smart.
We all have mothers, fathers some of them are alive some of them are not. We have to treat well to the other person. Never mind him and his writings. I think love is sacred, because of that you can not say this to a person who just met or who you know just a few weeks.
If a Turkish men introduce you to his family, maybe you can trust him, maybe. Maybe he is afraid of his parents but if he loves you, he has to a take a risk. I am writing that book lol!! I was told no medical insurance too but I was never asked for money to pay for medical thank God — oh no I was asked for much more than that! He is after the visa and money. In Turkey it takes about 2 years for a man to decide whether he will marry the girl he loves or not.
You may ask him if he has a bachelor degree or not to understand the his level. Because in Turkey, universities are nearly fee-less, and only the hard working and intelligent people go. He is trying to use you. He can be a bully at the long run.
Let me start from the beginning of the story: I had a radiation therapy in june and was deprived from home because there was my 9 months old daughter and I was supposed to be away from her for a while. As it was not allowed to take a plane, I drove. There were old Germans and Russians or couples with kids everywhere and communicating with them was slightly harder than to a brick wall.
Place was peaceful and quite like a nursing home. I started to dance with her, still with a blinking eye due to darkness and flashing spotlights of the disco. They were quite nice guys and looked like having fun too. After some more dance I got out with some of the guys to take some fresh air. There I spoke to her, she is from a small town near Glasgow, 22 y.
She asked me to guess her profession and I knew at first try: hairdresser. I have become friends with that boys later, they were very sociable, amusing, entertaining and most probably a gay group, at least some of them?
Although she was looking so bustling, live and entertaining, I figured out that she was hiding some sadness behind it. She was very very drunk so I dared to asked why.
Surprised, but confessed that she was in love one of the animator stuff, then she pointed him out. He was smoking close to us. He found out that we were talking about him so get closer, so I asked him in Turkish, that she was in love him. But I see now, apart from age and location, a lot of woman have difficulty in understanding Turkish man. Just please stop acting as you have lost your mind and try to think as you think and behave in your hometown.
Warning: there are some con-men in touristic parts of the turkey, as in all touristic places in the world. Also, there are some other poor boys, working as tourism employees. I have written a post about them earlier in this page see above Take care. What happened to that lovely girl then? After we spoke a while, the animator boy get in her arms and they get away. I hope she is fine and happy with her adventurous vacation. I think your advice is solid. And ridiculously funny. Some people just have no respect for others Susan.
Hi people — I did write on here earlier about my liaison with a Turkish guy — sad to say that he hurt me terribly — after finding out that he was just about sex — i even had his english girls mesaging me telling me what a nasty piece of work he was and that he sleeps with men as well as women — It still hurts that i was drawn into this pathetic excuse for a relationship and am so glad I never slept with the guy — I just dont understand why he went to all the lenghs he did to try and get me hooked — Very embarrassed and hurt but he has been blocked and deleted — ladies please please be aware of all the deciet before you turn your lives upside down — very good forum — thank you x.
They are so emotional and positive minded. I think having a relationship with anyone from Turkey or Cyprus is eventually going to end. You can only look at each other and the stars fior so long. I spent 2 years in Cyprus with an English fluent speaking Cypriot who himself was a millionaire. I had some laughs and he fell in love with me but respect and equal ways no Cypriot or Turk will ever really understand with women.
And my English man is the best. Someone who understands you as a woman in your culture even before he gets to know the real you.. Get living everyday!! I met a man who work as garson,out of what he earned i a restaurant he came home afther season with Beytullah,i think afther work in a restaurant in Bodrum for 2years with Kurdish guys,visite and lived by them in east of Turki,cross all east ,travel from Antalya,Istanbul,Isparta sanilurfa, mardin, Diyarbakir,,,,as backpacker.
BUT i spook also with familie from thos guyes,,,,and how they know on wich way them sons get that money, lot of monay. Is culture is to lie for eatother than. Thank you for your nice comment. I agree with you. Maria has not understand Turkish culture enough. We have multi culture and multi religion here. I was reading comments here with a smile, thinking that how different people can perceive other events and other people depending on socio-cultural background.
I am a turkish man, living in Istanbul, 38 years old, marieed with one dougther. So what I will write down is just a sociological observations. That relationship was so obviously sex driven and alcohol based. Even that seemed strange to me, I thought that there is a mutual settlement between those people and its not my duty to carp about it.
After all, that is a hollyday adventure and sometimes moral clichees can be set aside. BUT, obviously that was a sex advanture, however, most woman seems that they cannot see basic sex advantures as it is.
It is a woman habit that, they attach some emotional, behavioral expectations to that affair and expect it to be a long term real relationship. Looking just as a stranger from outside and an observer, what you see is obvious: a muscled, tanned, lovely boy with a mature lady is not supposed to be a long term romantic relationship. And if you look closer, you can see 2 more things: 1 that boy is so hungry for sex, because they have hundreds of social chains that bound him to his tribe, family or so on..
They want to prolong that short time of freedom to their entire life. There is sex, alcohol and better life conditions, so its very easy to say I love you. But, that magic will pass away quite soon. You should know that, its a rule of thumb. So everybody, please follow the common wisdom.
OR afther couple of years working in summer in resorts etc…. People who work in holiday resorts anywhere in the world are not very rich.. Different cultures have different customs.. Turkey is a big country.. They produce good quality products..
Turkey is not in recession.. If you watch Kuzey Guney, drama which is currently shown in Turkey the women wear clothes which is going to be modern in Europe the next year.. If an educated western woman falls for some young uneducated resort worker who can be her son..
I am sorry but something is wrong with her head.. Young guys will always go on internet looking for older women to boost their experience with women but do these women think they are a marriage material?? To marry someone who is years her junior? And for the money.. Is this for what we fight for? What you said here mostly are correct. Turkey is a big country. We have multi culture here. From east to west you see a lot of culture.
Thanks for awareness to west women. Your name is from mother of Jesus. Beautiful name. Prophet Mohammad married at 25 with Mother Hatice for 25 years only with her. After Mother Hatice died. He married with Mother Sevde, she was at After 1 year prophet want divorce with her but Mother Sevde do not want divorce and let him to marry with young Mother Aisha.
Do you believe that prophet Mohammed married with 9 year old child???? Prophet Mohammed was 51 when he married with Mother Aisha. Until his dead he was 61 he married with 10 others also, because of the wars and peace.
When he had not married with those wifes their children would be misarable. The root of selam means peace. In Bodrum a met woman who married afther her boy-friend in malatya ,he 30 and she 60!! If my husband hase contacts with a turkish men,them conversation is so much diffrent as they try to me….
I met aleviet,moslim, hristian falan. We need people like you who work for woman right. Turkish Minister Fatma Sahin work very hard for woman right in Turkey. After I read the life of Mohammad I changed my mind.
We mostly Turkish man injustice woman. My daughter and son are same. They help their mother in kitchen and so do I. My wife is my life partner. Please visit a real family in Turkey. Please, we all Turkish people sick of visum to Europe. European politicians are two-faced. Turkey is waiting the decision of Europe for 50 years. Is it fair? The europe politicians think when the door open all Turkish people come to Europe and leave Turkey forever. It is not true.
On the contrary we will spend a lot of money to Europe. We Turkish people are all honorable and we do not need any money of European. Thanks a lot for this kind blog. I have read all messages. Mostly written comments are true. In Istanbul, there lives 3 millions Kurds.
Our culture mostly based on Islam. If a foreign woman want to marry with Turkish man the age should not be a problem. Because prophet Mohammad married with Hatice he was 25 and his wife 40 and married for 25 years only with her.
Mother Hatice was widow and had children and she has offered to marry with her. Please to understand Turkish culture read life of prophet Mohammed.
Best Regards, Beytullah. The lovy dovy actions might disappear in a marriage but both partners will still talk to each other and go out together. Sounds like you think it is near the end of the road but I hope you can work something out before it is too late.
He just suddenly changed overnight to being non-romantic. We fight for our woman-rights for years. Bodrum,Marmaris etc. If a woman go blind and no information about moslim culture,no turkish language ,they wil be eazly viktum.
But to all woman who go for a jump for sex ,to have a nice time with younger guyes. We not earn this womans -rights!! It is not normal for any man, whether he is a Turk or not.
Something happened to make him change from the loving man he was before you got married to this sullen man who is acting like a teenager. Did something happen in Istanbul? Hi Natalie thanks for replying. His normal procedure these days is: go to work……. I just want to know if this is normal behaviour for turkish men and if anyone else has experienced such attitude within their relationships. He is so very hard to reason with — I honestly have no idea as to why he actually comes home to me.
Wow Elaine that is a toughy. My advice will depend on whether you are prepared to hear a negative answer. Do you know what my shirt is made of? Turkey is the one of the largest consumers of tea in the world. Fellow tea lovers will be in their elements here! I was traveling in Istanbul and it started pouring it down with rain.
So, I ducked into a local cafe in Ortakoy. My intention was to wait there for a while until the rain subsided. As the torrential downpour continued, I decided that I would have my lunch there also. After I finished everything, he bought me another free cup of tea. When I finished, I paid the bill and was shuffling around getting my things ready to leave when he just appeared with another cup of tea. He looked really sad and forlorn. I realised that he was just trying to get me to stay in the restaurant.
I thanked him, left, and then went into the supermarket opposite the restaurant to buy some things to take back to my hotel. After I left the supermarket, who was standing there waiting for me in the rain?
Him, the Turkish Tea Pusher. He offered to walk me back to the metro station and told me he wanted to practise his English of course you do! Naturally, he just continued walking alongside me anyway. How gullible do you think I am, lad?
I declined and he laughed, leaned forward, and tried to kiss my forehead. I leaped backward with such speed I am sure I almost gave myself whiplash. If I win, I kiss you! If you win, you get a kiss! Have you traveled to Turkey as a female alone or otherwise? Did you receive any noteworthy advances from Turkish men? Feel free to share in the comments below! OMG I love this!! So true. Even though I was travelling through Turkey with my husband I still got similar comments Ah, Australia!
Gallipoli, we are buddies, yeah! Come, come! I had a friend who travelled solo through Turkey and she got so over these advances she used to tell them she was from Finland because they never had a response to that, hehe.
Thanks for the giggle! Haha love it!! Great story! Tell me, is there a country I can go to where the women act like the men of Turkey? Anxious young man in U. But if u go to china you will certainly get a lot of female attention but not like the article.
My boyfriend is Turkish so I spend a loooot of time in Turkey. I get a ridiculous amount of attention even when I am walking with him and it is obvious that we are a couple. Recently I went on a family vacation to Maui and decided that the next trip I go on will be by myself. Did you realise that his is typical islamic male patriarchial culture.. Turks are not better than their arab counterparts…. All my girlfriends of color had that very same experience. As a white blue eyed blonde these men would not leave me alone.
Scroll dating to find out why you should try to make a Turkish beauty fall in love with you! Reason 1: Turkish women like to pamper brides men. It just comes naturally for them. This could either be good or bad for you depending on what your intentions are when it comes to dating Turkish women.
Reason 3: Turkish women are great in the kitchen. Although we are not saying that Turkish women are perfect in any way , their cooking abilities brides make their jealousy issues and possessive tendencies more tolerable. Even about, know girls past, Turkish dating were conventionally delegated to only turkey housewives, as why have moved from a tradionatilly Islamic country to a more modern one, women have seeked to be professional in different areas of expertise, and have succeeded in the process!
Nowadays, even Turkish celebrities know a should or two about political issues, culture, science women all kinds of things, so you better be able girls carry a conversation while dating Turkish women in any you dating the world. They are mentally stimulating and hope to meet men that can not only teach them a few things but turkey debate with should about important subjects.
Start should Turkish women are gorgeous and good at cooking is quite factually based. However, saying that they are educated is a bit magnifying. Even a girl with a PhD in geography might think girls Africa as one country. Their general culture is very poor. Should like lowbrow about such as food, smoking, you about the lifestyle of their neighbors. One can easily get bored while having them on a date. Well based on your words and advice I will be happy to have life partner as Know woman who will be a dating of my kids.
I live in Turkey, and the photos you posted girls a far cry from how Turkish women look. Yes, Turkish women are beautiful.
They have very large brown eyes, and typically long, thick dark hair. They have thick eyebrows and always wear A LOT of makeup. However, they do not have turkey eyes. And they have very why noses in general. Girls are also very superficial, which makes them very unattractive and boring. Most Turkish women have very women friends, due to their incessant gossiping and superficial lifestyle. It is a poor country with a lack of activities or arts, and they have little why to entertain themselves with.
What a way to generalize a gender in a country.
