How was the sex that you got conned into providing? What a dumb first post!

Note to self: Don't have sex with men I've just met in Egypt. And don't give them money either. I assume that's good advice worldwide.

Well, not totally world wide. Does not apply for Southern California, around Fullerton

ROFLMAO at Tom!!

LOL!!!!! Gee.....4 years of living there and I never got approached by one of these con artists. Don't know whether to feel lucky or insulted (that I was never targeted!!!!)

Phooey, thitchoo.

I was practically panting in anticipation for some of the titilating details, but methinks you gone and scared curiousitylover off. Ah well...

I don't know if I should be insulted either...me and my sister had a totally gigolo-less two weeks in Egypt.

Grcxx3 & MoiraS,

There's one who hangs out at the Marriott in Zamalek and another who hangs out in Cilantro on Road 9 in Ma'adi if you're looking....

sunshine

And if you happen to be in Southern California, Fullerton area, I can give you a place to meet one, you name the time

One charming young man did offer my husband 70 camels for me.

Thanks Sunshine...I'll keep those spots in mind!

Moira

Hello,

A young man in Luxor asked how many camels I would take for my sister -- not for himself, but for his father! And here I thought that it was the parent who matchmake for their children...

Cheers,
Julian

Well, I might be back in Cairo in October....I'll keep that Road 9 fellow in mind! Always liked Cilantro's!!!!

Julian, what was your answer?

Turning to the husband, he offered..... "I'll give you 100 camels for her." The husband looked stunned, and there was a long silence. Finally he replied, "she's not for sale."

After the salesman left, the somewhat indignant wife asked her husband what took him so long to answer, to which the husband replied, "I was trying to figure out how to get 100 camels back home."

so let me get this straight, you paid THEM? this is hysterical! when I was being stalked/harassed/propositioned non-stop last fall during my time in Egypt, i started thinking that their tactics must work on someone or they wouldn't be so persistent. now i know!!! no more solo travel curiosity lover while you are in the soft and lonely heart phase!

p.s. i assume your post was a joke or you had too many cocktails before posting that, but if you were serious, well, frankly I am at a loss for words...

Hilarious

I see this is a first post for curiousitylover. I don't usually take advice from trolls, but in this case I will make an exception. On my upcoming Egypt trip, I will mark the following off my list of things to do:

--Find a sad-looking Egyptian man and pay him for sex.

Thanks.

oh come on P.M, give it a shot! think of the trip report and teaser sound effects you could use!

Hey mat, I hadn't thought of that. I could write our first X-Rated trip report!! I must buy a video camera for that trip.

P_M - It would be intersting to see what the Fodor's editors would do with such trip report!!!!!

She's lucky she didn't get picked up for patronizing a prostitute -- she was paying for sex....

P_M, it would certainly outdo Black Bart and Tara's Vegas trip reports!

Lee Ann

I need to get out (of the Africa forum)more and find out what Black Bart and Tera are doing.

Funny joke Tom!

Lyn

Made my boss and colleagues snort their food at lunch today with your note to self

So I take it your husband's not going on this trip, P_M?

On our trip to Egypt, men would approach my husband, pat him on his back like they knew him and would tell him that "you are one luck man", "lucky man my friend" wink wink.
Couple tried to "Hi Five" him too!!

I routinely try to remind my husband about this... and he never forgets to offer to book a one-way ticket for me to Cairo.

CAPH--No, he's not going. DH doesn't have much vacation time so I somtimes travel alone. But in this case, I won't be alone for long.

Is anyone else hearing that song in their head?

I'm just a gigolo, and everywhere I go, people know the part I'm playing"

I will be singing that all day.

If I recall correctly, you weren't alone long on the Israel trip either. In fact, only until you got on the plane in New York, right?

Should someone be tipping your husband about what happens when he doesn't go along?

OP says 'here are some things to look and listen for' but did not finish the end of the story.
Enquiring minds want to know the rest of the story.

MarthaT, Here's one red flag, "For only $20 you can hump my camel."

Ladies, don't fall for that line.

OMG P.M. I cannot stop laughing. I have to say, of all the oh-so-enticing offers I got when I was there, i did not receive any offers involving livestock.

How about "yooo are soo buutifull. I want marry. I want go to Amreeka. Where from you? New York? Florida?"

I shouldn't make fun of the English some Egyptians use -- it's just that I teach Egyptians & I live among Egyptians & I'm starting to talk Egyptian English rather than American English. Lord knows that my Arabic isn't as good as their English.

If one of them happens to look like Richard Gere, let me know. I'm so there!

One of my favorite encounters: I was at the bus station trying to get a ticket to Farafra - the manager called the guys selling me the ticket to the back behind this glass window...when they came back out they were very excited and delivered the good news to me that the manager would really like to have a good look at me, so could I please step around where he could get the full view?

(and divewop, he did NOT look like Richard Gere unfortunately!)
good times.

My reply was, 'To be honest, I don't really care for camels -- do you have anything else?'

Followed immediately by my sister (pointing at me): 'I'll pay you to take HIM!'

Cheers,
Julian

There is a very funny movie about this subject titled "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" starring Steve Martin and Michael Caine. Rent it if you haven't seen it, very funny.

And may I also add...Greek men bearing gifts

70 Camels, good thing your husband doesn't smoke.

Let's start a new thread. "Ten Stupid Things Women Do to Mess Up Their Lives". And then we can start another one "Ten Stupid Things Men Do to Mess Up Their Lives". And get it off of the Africa Forum.

ps - Dr. Laura C. Schlessinger wrote books with these titles.

Everytime I see this thread get topped, the first thing that pops into my head is David Lee Roth and that wretched music video of his for "Just a Gigolo."

Me too. (see my post on 6/1/07, 7:59am)
