Every year thousands of tourists come to Turkey on
holiday but if you are a single woman then beware of Turkish toy boys! When you
are on holiday it is all too easy to fall in love with the beautiful scenery, the
lifestyle and the country in general but it is important that you always keep
your wits about you. You will no doubt have seen the many magazines and
television documentaries about women who have travelled to Turkey and
found ‘true love’. Titles such as "I married my Turkish Toy boy" are
becoming all too common as women fall for these charming men. Foreign women are
a popular target since they are often more vulnerable and are believed to be
wealthy. This means that some Turkish men will see these women as being a quick
way of obtaining money, expensive items or a visa.
It is however important to remember that these Turkish toy boys only represent
a minority of Turkish men. Most men that you come across are genuine and decent
but until you know for certain you should be careful. It is no surprise really
that so many women fall for the charms of these local men as it can be all too
easy to get carried away in the romantic setting. For this reason it is vital
that you act sensibly as you could end up regretting your decisions later on.
In fact many of these holiday romances do not end as soon as you leave and
return home. It is common for relationships to continue and for marriage to
occur relatively quickly. Any requests for money or property as well as quick
proposals should trigger alarm bells straightaway!
If you go online and search on any one of the search engines available you will
find pages and pages of links regarding holiday romances in Turkey. There are in fact many
forums, groups and chat rooms dedicated to people who have met someone abroad
and want to discuss it with others. You will even find that there are pages
which name and shame some of these Turkish toy boys who have cheated women out
of money and married under false pretences. Of course holiday romances do happen
and many people have met their partner whilst on holiday and gone on to live
happily. Just remember that this is not always the case so be careful and do
not let anyone take advantage of you.
