Update: Morocco is just that great

In December, I posted a conversation I had through Skype with a Moroccan man seeking an American bride. He even seemed to ask if my girlfriend was up for grabs. It was a strange exchange, and I thought it spoke to the desperation of people in impoverished countries and the promise they believe is available in America.

But according to a Moroccan girl I chatted with today on Skype, there's a very different reason for his desire: When American girls visit Morocco, they're so awe-struck that they start offering the world to the local men -- thus giving the wrong impression.

Here's the conversation:

[6:45:34 PM] Jason says: so you're in morocco, huh?
[6:45:45 PM] Sanita says: right
[6:46:26 PM] Jason says: cool. one time, a guy in morocco contacted me through skype because he wanted to find an american girl to marry. i couldn't help him, obviously.
[6:48:58 PM] Sanita says: :D
[6:49:53 PM] Sanita says: they are many americans girls come in morocco and promise wrong things to boys
[6:50:10 PM] Jason says: really? that's weird.
[6:50:48 PM] Sanita says: like to find a job for them or simply married
[6:51:13 PM] Jason says: i'm surprised american girls would promise those things. why do they?
[6:52:45 PM] Sanita says: cause they find a big hospitality and all things are simplifed by moroccan then tey promise like if they want to thanks them ( by return) get my point?
[6:53:33 PM] Jason says: i see. so the american girls are impressed by morocco, and get so excited that they promise marriage.
[6:54:23 PM] Sanita says: exact
[6:54:36 PM] Sanita says: but not almost of girls do that

Talk about putting out! This seems extremely far-fetched, but hey, I've never been to Morocco. Maybe I'd come back with a wife.
