This is just one case of many many many...........
I am saying this as a general feature and there are always exception to the rule. However every women thinks she will be the exception to the rule.
I have just had a PM from an Ahmed on Facebook. Not sure how he made the connection but he wants this beautiful lady to come back to Egypt. Well he ain't gonna be my friend and I am one of these daft old ladies more likely to leave my savings to the donkeys (much as I admire a well turned out male human)
