Most Egyptian men are gentlemen. Romanticism depends on the individual man and also what you yourself think of as romantic but I would say for the most part they can be very romantic. In a marriage many Egyptian men are traditionalists. They do often expect their wives to do the cleaning, cooking, childcare, etc... of course they also tend to expect you to do all this while looking gorgeous just for them. This doesn't mean they won't pitch in around the house at all or that they won't take on more of the work if needed (for exmple if both of you work) but they still tend to expect the woman to do most of it. Egyptian men LOVE to be pampered. They need to feel as if your entire life revolves around making them happy (I'm not talking about sexually satisfying them although that will come up as well...). They tend to be very jealous!!! They don't like it when you have male friends or if you talk to males on the phone or chat sites. Egyptian men love home cooking but especially "Egyptian" home cooking. American home cooking doesn't seem to cut it for most Egyptians. When it comes to food yours will never be as good as his mothers and he may bring it up how his mothers is the best (insert egyptian dish here) in the world. Even if you get his mothers recipie and studie how she makes it yours will never be as good. Egyptian men are often very family focused. They tend to want larger families (2 kid minimum) and love spending time with the family (espcially if they can pass the kids off onto a wife, mom, sister, or cousin) and spend time with the men (insert manly grunt here). Egyptian men are generally very respectful and sweet. They are some of the smoothest talkers in the world I think. It seems that they are always worried about your happiness and often go to great lengths to make sure you are happy. Just as a side note Egyptians who from the city are slightly different from those who grew-up in rural areas. Those from the city are often a little less traditonal.

Depends on age. Why ? Because in my personal opinion, the new generation being a lot more open to the world, is let's say, rid of many taboos. As for older men, 40 up, they can be retrograde. Not all of course, but quite a few.
Men in general, are big babies. When it comes to Egyptian men, the biggest babies on Earth. Mama, and what mama says, and what mama cooks and what mama thinks. Many till this day would for example have girlfriends but when it comes to marriage they would let their mothers pick the bride. Thinking that a girl who has had a relation is not fit to be a good wife and ma. Not to forget papa. They are all mainly very dependent. And if they do have a distinct or try to have a distinct personality, the parents, friends, etc are meddlers. They say we are a people who are "3eshareyeen", meaning who are friendly and who like people, it's more correct to say, we are "7eshareyeen", meaning we poke our nose everywhere. When you marry an Egyptian, you marry the whole family.
On the other side, Egyptian men are the kindest, have a great sense of humor, warm, very generous, caring...
If you are going to have an online relationship, well as a mother, who sometimes worries :) I would advise you to be careful. Some are looking for a way out of here, a few bucks, free sex....whoever and wherever you are, it's ok to be a little cautious until proven safe grounds.
Wish you all the best, you never know, might turn out to be the love of your life. My Egyptian husband is :) Next September we would have been married for 20 years :)
peace :)

if we are generalizing then I'd tell u the higher percentage of Egyptian men are very nice, sweet, and caring. However, that does not mean there are still a big number of men who treat their wives badly and behave badly. From my experience as an Egyptian woman married to an Egyptian man, he is very romantic, sweet, caring, loving..... too jealous! most men get very jealous of anything, sometimes its a problem when it gets out of hand. Also, they are great providers. I believe they are like a lot of other men from different countries, it really depends more on their personalities and the way they were raised. good luck. Egyptian are the best! ;)

I have to agree with most off the ppl here. They are very Dependable, romantic, strong, BIG TIME FLIRTS, and Jealous.But they will give u all of that on only and i mean only one condition "Superiority in the relationship". As an Egyptian, i wouldn't think of better men than Egyptians, and I'm not being biased. At a certain point i believe that they are REAL MEN. They know "the know how" of treating women gently and softly and being men a the same time.

Not all men are the same here. Culture and education affect many sides of the character. In general we look for loyalty and understanding. The topic of jealousy is not really jealousy as you imagine, but some kind of culture which is related to religion and traditions at the same time most of us think it's the right way for living and protecting the family life.
It's not allowed that you call or meet another man under any name unless your husband agree. It's not allowed that you go with friends or family to somewhere he doesn't know or he doesn't like. It's not allowed that you accept another male to come to you alone at home if your husband is not there or doesn't agree. Other details are not general rules you may find it completely different from one man to the other including house work, his relations with family and friends, if he is really dominant or not, some are open minded others are traditional... etc.
From our (male) side caring for a woman and making her happy is our first priority to make a good family.
The woman who can't accept this way of life in general as the right way for living she shouldn't look for happiness with an Egyptian man.
I wish you happiness with one of the good Egyptian men.

Well, I hope so, I am getting married to one. But, as an egyptian my self all, I can say that yes they are all romatic and stuff, but they like to feel special in return. I mean when I look at me dad, he gets jelous at the smallest thing, even when my mom talks on the phone( just does love the phone and talks alot) any way, as long as you are loyal to him, and give him the love and respect he disreves, then there should be no problem. Oh, one thing if he is muslim, asking about marriage, ask him even if he is christian. But, the only way to know if an egypt is not just playing with you. Marrage is very important to egyptians. So, if he says yes, then ask when. If he says no, then well. sorry.
well, that is what I know from experiance as an egyptian and living with egyptains and living in egypt.

Mine is very romantic. And he respects me too, that is important. But it is true that they tend to be a little bit more jealous. I am not a jealous person and don't like people who are overly jealous, especially when there is no reason to be. But this is a cultural difference and for many Egyptian men they feel that jealousy is an built in instinct that they cannot change.

Like anywhere in the world, they are different from each other.
To speak from experience, my Egyptian husband (I am Egyptian too) is a very nice, kind, passionate, cooperative man. We have our arguments and disagreements as any couple, but I never felt him to be harsh or unkind with me. I would marry him again if I can lol.
You just have to know the character because not all men are that nice, and not all women are as lucky as I am.

Well maybe they are, but I got the wrong one I guess. My husband was like this at first but I suppose America changed him into an A**Hole. I have been with other north african guys though and they all seemed very romantic and also very posessive.
