doomonyou!

On average, would you say egyptians tend to talk about love more than other groups of people?

I know this guy, and he loves to talk about love. One of his favorite movies was Titanic and he really wants to get married. He even said he was in love with me! (by the way, this was an instant messenger friend). He is egyptian so I was just wondering...are you guys just a REALLY romantic people or was my friend just crazy?
Additional Details
to the poster who said he would be a problem: he has recently fallen in love with a european girl he met, so he wont be a problem for me. However, when it comes to her...I think he will be an arab version of Don Juan.

Yes I do agree that Egyptian 's do put a lot of time into talking about love. Not that I'm complaining,oh no, no not at all.
I think it is a strong part of their charm,being so uninhibited when it comes to talking "sweet nothings" and giving their ladies compliments.
I am Australian and believe me the average Australian man's ability to talk about love is like a 5yr old talking about auto mechanics.
Sorry guys but it's true and you know it!They hate expressing them,selves on an intimate level and they get all tongue tied if they try to give you a compliment. An average Aussie guy's idea of a compliment is "Geez you look good enough to take to the footy,but I'm going with the boys.Sorry love but I'll see ya later and your new hairstyle look cool."
That is 2 months after you've changed your hair colour from blond to vibrant red and had it cut short!
Egyptian woman also like to talk about love to their girlfriends and i have been surprised how they are very confiding with each other,much more than you find in Australia.
There love is talked about in a very open but generalised sense . I am not sure why that is?
Very close to the Egyptian men in top romantics are the Latino men,(Mexicans of Spanish decent).
But never get the "compliments" mixed up with the feelings when you are getting to know each other. I think this may be one reason why girls from the West fall head over heels in love with Egyptian guys.
Sometimes he is just trying to make her feel good and it is not meant to be taken so seriously.
I love you and I like you a lot,have virtually the same meaning in "dating" compliments.
Getting the meanings of the compliments and sweet talk mixed up can lead to heartbreak with no ill intent ever being meant.
My first husband was Latin/American. I am not into comparisons but I have found my Egyptian partner very similar in his use of cajoling sweet talk and openness.
The real difference being that Egyptian men are far more discreet in public.
In public I only get my compliments from his body language and his eyes. I'm okay with that because I still get to know I am appreciated.
These are just my personal observations

Love is the essence of life.


Far Away ( Still Lost)
yes this is true we tend to flood who we love with love & romance


Wise Heart
I think Sistablu gave you best research on the topic here.

I don't believe we talk about love more than other groups of people, but I think we do love more than others. It's real mix of nature, Culture, history and genes. It's a secret we as Egyptian men don't understand it till now. It's like the secret of building the Pyramids. Everybody tries to know how, but the real secret is not yet revealed or known.

he is just a crazy .do not listen to him, listen to me I LOVE YOU.

My husband tells me daily how much he loves me more than the day before, his very affectionate & tactile,,,,, Also in front of friends & in public, he has no problem showing his feelings towards me... I have known him since I was 19 years old & we have been married for 16 years i know no different because he was/is the first love of my life. Onlookers, like my family & friends from England & Europe tell me how lucky i am to have such a loving, affectionate, romantic, loyal, trustworthy husband who clearly idiolises me!
My in-laws are also very affectionate & loving towards me, though i wouldn't say anymore so than my own family!!
This is my personal experience of an Egyptian man.... He truly makes me feel like an Egyptian Princess!!... Nothing Crazy about that.... we are just Crazy about each other!!!
On the other hand i have seen Egyptian guys who are Casonova personified, purely for the Tourists.....now they really are CRAZY!!

I think Egyptians use the love term loosely + are super emotional in general. My husbands family "loved" my children and even cried after being around them for only one week when they left (perhaps tears of joy since my son isn't someone I would miss had the little 3 year old brat visited me--but he's my son so I'm stuck w/ him and "love" him, too =), supposedly they loved me, too. I think they form emotional connections more quickly than those I've spent time w/ in the U.S.A. and Europe do. I will get negative points for this, but I don't care. Egyptians are some of the most hypocritical ppl. I've met in terms of claiming family and religion are so important. Yet the way I've seen them treat family members (many are great w/ their acquaintances) and put Islam on a pedestal and not do much to inspire others to want to follow the religion based on how they act + brag about the strength of religion in their life (and so many really only follow it by praying 5x's a day and eating halal food yet combine the religious rules w/ cultural ones that clash w/ truly allowing one to follow the religion the way it "should" be...yes, I'm ranting, but that's why I'm not religious and most religious ppl. of other beliefs tend to be the same way).

Back to your friend, he might be crazy b.c. he spent a lot of time in egypt and the overly emotional responses and exposure to life have made him a bit "crazy" (whatever that term truly means. everyone is a bit crazy anyway)...however, the more time native egyptians spend away from egypt they tend to acknowledge how bizarre the system is and how ppl. respond because of it. It's complicated. All in all, the egyptian guy is probably like most ppl. who want a better life at whatever means are acceptable to them--i.e., getting the green card! but he COULD be in love w/ you. There are countless people trying to get women to visit them in egypt w/ the hopes of perhaps scoring a different citizenship than the egyptian one. So beware. I just think you're a bit crazy yourself for letting an instant messenger buddy take you this far in thought. How many times have ppl. told you internet relationships aren't that fruitful!

he wasnt crazy. he was normal . when adam was lonely in paradise, God created eve to give him love, care, company, etc. they had mutual feelings up there, and down here. they gave birth to twins every year till they and their progeny populated the earth. now most people are trying to assert themselves and forget to have an eve-like woman / adam like man as a companion in their journey in life. egyptians are agricultural , and conservative. they know they will be restless till they find the mate that would satisfy them, spiritually and physically. they keep searching till they get her/him , or believe they did. only then are they at ease and can go on in the journey of fulfilled life. this has been going on for thousands of years since the pharoahs.

Hmmmm, this guy sounds familiar! I wonder where he works at and where in Egypt he's from. Is he in his 30's? Did he say he reminds you of Rose from Titanic? Just curious....

i think both tamarah and sistablu have given you really good answers. i so agree with sistablu when she says Egyptians are very good at compliments etc and it so easy to take them very seriously. Add to this the fact that many of them do mean it seriously as long as you are prepared to keep doling out the money or there is the slightest possibility of getting a visa to the west. like others i know i will get thumbs down on this but its true. i have spoken to many English ladies who have been taken for a lot of money by men they were convinced genuinely loved them. only to discover that when the money ran out.... so did the love. but even with out the incentive or possibility of money or visas, most Egyptian man still seem to need to be romantic most of the time and i am sorry but as long as i dont take it seriously i think its quite good fun too. I also agree that women are just as friendly and just as affectionate, and for the most part i just really enjoy their company.

I definitely got a lot of proposals in Egypt, so I don't think that this is unusual for an Egyptian male. They may even be serious, possibly because we are just different from Egyptian women insofar as we like to stand out in the crowd more than they do. Also, we tend to be freer with the topics we are willing to discuss with them.

yea i think he is crazy & bytheway not all egypians like this..coz in any country you can find the romantic person & the tuff one you can't jude on the egyptians according to one person you've met on net..right?!


Dryest Flame
well we all need love to be and to prove to our selves that we are alive after we all been through bad education bad economy bad bad bad..........etc so we all need love to make all that bad good so I'll say believe him that he search for love but i don't say that he loves you but he love love if you who is searching for its another issue to discus
take care
