MAKE FRIENDS IN ISTANBUL

hello! I'm already in Istanbul! I would like to meet new friends

Welcome and hope you make some friends here. But beware of the Turkish guys!

Culture differences are something any traveler should be aware of. If you feel humiliated that's your issue, not mine. I am just saying the same thing that me and MANY other foreign women would say. In other countries we have no problem having male friends, however Turkish men seem to not understand the word 'friend' when it comes to us.

If our opinions make us bigots, so be it. 

By the way, not sure what black people had to do with it....but sure, if you want to make statements like that America is a free country. Although I'm not sure you can say that in the US because the black people might respond to you. Luckily you're in Turkey where there's freedom of speech (haha, sure!)

Also, if you are asking a Kenyan girl to be her friend it's a silly thing for you to say that because guess what, most Kenyans are black.

Hey!

I know many people (especially girls) don't wanna hang out with Turkish people because of some creepy guys bothering them before but if you want, I can show you around the city. I just want friends to whom I can speak English.

Thanks

The funny thing is you said the same thing as me! Haha! So you KNOW what they are like. Stop trying to pretend that you are the one Turkish guy  in 70 million that is 'special' and 'different.' I also see from your posts that you get defensive all the time if anyone has anything critical to say about Turkey. That is a typical regressive way of thinking, if you cannot take criticism it shows your intellectual level. And how can a people grow if they cannot accept criticism? I like the country or else I would not be here. I never said I hate the Turkish people, it's just a shock for many of us to come here and realize how many of them think.

Good luck making friends.

Hey, thanks for writing. I must agree with M-jenk, most Turkish guys are creeps. Rude, pushy, and almost all of them will try to tell a foreign woman that they love her just moments after meeting her, despite her clearly stating she is not interested. they get very agitated and cant take no for an answer...
I am not looking for someone to "show me around" or anything like that, i am no tourist. am just looking for regular normal people who want to make friends, hang out, maybe plan activities together etc.

If you dont and he still insisting than I can understand you and you can be aware of them or aware when you hunging with them....

Hope you meet nice guy..... But do not forget the GRAVITY.... if you are nice than you met nice people, got it?
