I don’t know anything about dating culture in Turkey. Could you tell us a bit about how things go there?
I can honestly say that many girls have Western imitations.
There is also a lot of male imitations of being a hunk and a badboy.
It has decreased with the spread of old money on Instagram, but especially in holiday resorts, you will see 7 out of 10 men with fresh cuts.
Normally, when we say Turkey, people think of Arab countries, but it is not like that.
Big cities are similar to the West because of the admiration for the West. Especially if you are in holiday resorts, you will not feel like a stranger at all. Even my friends who never talked to a boy when they were at school feel more comfortable in a holiday resort. Because you see that person for a week and never see him again.
In daily life, there is a more mixed culture. I will be honest, I don't know how girls are for tourists, but I can say that it is more difficult for men here. In fact, this is both an advantage and a disadvantage.
Sexuality was a big taboo in the country for years. It still is. Not only sexuality, some people even make fun of girls wearing shorts on the subway. As a result of this, sexuality can sometimes be a taboo. Women do not have sex with many people. Men have a hard time reaching sexuality. This is actually a bad situation, but if you have outstanding features, maybe you can get more women, I don't know
But as I mentioned, there are club and bar cultures in big cities etc.
For example, I am from a small place and there is no club in my city. There is not even a place that serves alcohol.
In fact, I feel very inexperienced and late for this.
If you are going to Turkey, you will probably come for a holiday anyway and I think you will not feel too foreign in those places.
My purpose in writing this is definitely not to badmouth the country. The fact that men have difficulty accessing sex and women are seen as bad can make sex seem ridiculous.
As a result, people either become (or seem to become) conservative or they get together with too many people in order to break this conservativeness.
While some men get women, the other part (I am here too, usually) does not reach many women.
In fact, I saw a video recently. A Turkish woman goes to England and tells her Tinder experience. "When I swipe right in Turkey, I get matched with 99% of the men, while in England, I have had many men reject me," she says.
