Pretending to be stripper for ladies is revealing interesting things regarding Canada btw, most are getting interested to know how I ended up in that, and interestingly some start asking me for naughty pics :lol: - only few are realizing I am trolling.


That's a good idea for another experiment : the stripper guy :lol:


That's interesting. You'd probably get the same reaction from most western countries if you pretend to be a stripper though.

This experiment debunks btw the common stereotype that the Moroccan girls only initiate with foreigners (for visa) - all my morrocan contacts (who are many) so far were assuming I am Moroccan- when I told the truth to some (because those were pushing too far to meetup) they were disappoint for turning out to be that far and not Moroccan.


It's simply.... their culture, their women initiate contact - it's very phenomenal - I experienced the same on okcupid, and even with Moroccan women I've encountered in life. As if they are the "guys" in the other cultures' dating scheme.
You don't even need to ask their numbers/skype, if they are interested they give it to you and they don't usually hesitate to ring you.

Hmm, now I am so sure how much girls in other cultures have it easier :lol:. Ignoring the majority and picking the best doesn't seem be that tragic like how some ladies picture it here, It' so f**** easy.

You said yourself that Lebanese and Moroccans look somewhat similar - so why are girls in Morocco so much more interested in you than those in Lebanon?
And with your tinder experiment you have only tested initial interest. I think it is easier for women to get at least someone interested in them (and maybe sex), but what I often see women complain of in this forum is that their casual relationship with some dude does not turn into a serious, committed relationship because the guy is fine with a casual relationship.

I thought about this myself, but Morocco is a huge country and much more populated, in lebanon if you stretch the scope to above 70 km, you start seeing Syria and Israel, Lebanon is too tiny to be compared to anything. So far Okc been better than Tinder in Lebanon - but yea, unlike Moroccans, they never initiate, it's all on the guy.

I did have received quite numbers of "Hola.." and winks and Spanish messages from Spanish women over the years, but the majority of Spaniards seem to be so monolingual, could this forwardness thing coming from Spanish influence on Morocco? it could be the French too.

Thanks for sharing! It is really useful thread. I don't like Tinder honestly, but dating websites like RBrides It is the best dating website on the web, in my opinion. My good friend found a really nice girl there. They've been together for some time so far. They seem really happy together, I am happy for them

Looks like all white girls too. Sadly in this North American culture, a lot of white woman are more racist than they would care to admit.

This thread is fun and interesting to read, and sad as well. Too many of the sites are so completely visually oriented, at least at first. In real life, you can get to know someone who doesn't instantly turn you on, and find them more attractive as time goes on. People miss out on so many awesome people and pick some that they'd never have chosen otherwise. :(

That's really interesting about Moroccan girls. I've never spoken with one, to my knowledge. You say that many of them are open and not religious. They sound like my kind of people too. :-)

I definitely agree that attraction is influenced highly by culture and environment. However, I do believe there are people who transcend these cultural norms and have their own individual preferences. Those people tend to be out of the mainstream though. My interest is always in people's differences though, because I don't want someone bland and boring. I want someone who actually knows how to be their own person and can also understand me on a deeper level.

How much chatting do you do with the girls? If you're chatting for a little while, I imagine many of them might be disappointed when you reject them. If they're anything like me, or like a lot of people who post here, they're wondering why, trying to figure out if they gave you a bad impression, ETC. Some might also be frustrated because they feel like they wasted their time when they could've been doing something they enjoyed, or talking to a genuine friend. How do you feel about that?

No, there are Asians and Blacks among them.
Asian/Black girls don't seem to have a problem to date white guys.
At least, based on all these experiments.

but when I used my real MiddleEastern-looking pic for the same location (Houston), I only got matches with blacks and asians and hispanics - no whites.

That's the striking difference in the results between this fake pic and my real pic.

I don't chat with them; I may only reply to some.
Don't worry, they won't die if they find out I am faking my location (and now faking picture too just for the sake of experimenting), they will survive by finding another match anytime.

This is turning out to be a pretty interesting experiment. For comparison you could try with an average looking white guy.

You can fake your sex as well. Why not try as a Lebanese girl? See how many guys respond.
