First of all, I want to thank the mods for lifting the ban on my beloved old account !
Who exactly are you to disagree ? Are you Tunisian yourself ? How old are you? How long have you been living in Tunisia ? Where have you been living in Tunisia ? A couple of questions I should raise before answering the nonsense you wrote .
I know what I am talking about. Not only I am a tunisian living in the country for 3 decades , I am an old member here as well. I know the types of tunisians who tend to sign up to this forum . In 2019, I was about to post a thread about this topic . Unfortunately , my account was banned the same morning , after a continuous war with Mango Chutney and her brigade .
I insist that good Tunisian men would never be involved in relationships with westerners (btw I am not sure about your definition of "a good tunisian man"). I have NEVER heard/met/talked to a tunisian who belongs to a respectable family , not poor , religious/conservative , educated , polite ,has ethics and is interested in western women at the same time . Most of us do not believe in relationships with them (dont expect tunisians who sign up to this kind of forums to tell you something like that for the reasons I will mention later)
Hell! even the people who are not religious at all, do not usually believe in such relationships! In addition, I know many "good tunisians" who live abroad ( France, Italy, Canada ,Germany ect) , NOT A SINGLE ONE of them married a westerner ! Believe it or not ! At most they intermarry with other arabs/muslims living in the same region.
Conversely, if it is all to do with "individualism" like you mentioned in your post, how come the thousands of tunisian doctors , engineers , IT specialists living in europe rarely marry europeans ???
The only tunisians I know, who get involved in such relationships are the poorest ones (usually they come from ghettos and rural areas. Most of whom, work in tourism industry and seldom are illegal immigrants ) . Usually they are ugliest , unethical , opportunist and are ready to do anything to change their socioeconomic situation ! Just take a look at the gallery section, I dont want to sound like superficial and mean person, but telling from rats pics, most of them look like chavs . They belong to the bottom of the social ladder and they dont have any chance with the local females !
Please refer to an old post I wrote two years ago https://www.tunisianloverats.com/threads/im-dying.4981/page-13#post-314148
This is too diplomatic and politically correct statement to make ! I wont bother replying !
I may be a rude person .. but at least I am HONEST!
I’m allowed to disagree with anything you say, so keep that in mind, you or nobody else will think for me or tell me what to believe. So you ask who I am, I’m a Lebanese woman, I am a Muslim woman, I’m an educated free thinking loyal woman, I’m logical yet friendly and I’m married to a Tunisian man; very proud wife ( he is educated, not from poor family, not from the outskirts, paid and still pays for his family; meaning me and never ever worked in Tourism), I live in Sousse. We moved back here after living in New York/ PA area for some years. There are plenty of things we liked about USA, but we wanted to be in a more laidback country and kids be closer to my husbands family. I would actually love to say everything you wrote is “nonsense” as you say, but I’ll give you a little more respect, after all you are entitled to your opinion. But going off facts I can tell you so many couples I personally know of successful Tunisian men and women being married to westerners. I was an executive member for a German company for many years before deciding to have children and many of my financial colleagues were married to Tunisian men that also worked in the same sector, there was nothing to gain from one another. So by you saying “ only the poorest are in such relationships”, it’s not true. I see where you are coming from though, unfortunately it’s often the case when some lower class citizens find western women to marry to get out of a bad situation, but not always.... so don’t make a blanket statement. As far as you telling me take a look at the jabris in the gallery,, you are right most look like scum, but let’s be honest there is someone for everyone and Tunisia has its share of low class and easy women as well. So these guys you say have no opportunity with local women is false, they do and most of them are sleeping with their Tunisian woman while their western women WesternUnion money to them and then both of the scums spend it. Also, a handful of men in that gallery could fool any woman, but the majority I agree are not eye candy. By the way, I’m dying of curiosity, please send me the website with the statistics showing that thousands of Tunisian Doctors, IT, Engineers ..... rarely marry western women. After that maybe you can pull University of Tunis records and let’s just discuss how many “thousands” graduates from the professions you mentioned per year and obtain visas to work abroad, then we will statistically determine the amount from that pool that marry and find available Tunisian women abroad, I think that would be an interesting topic alone. Now, to finish I have a question for you... are you actually with a western woman?
