THE MORE BEAUTIFUL THE MORE DARING

I was single for five years, living in Istanbul and desiring to remarry. I had the chance to meet some girls on different occasions, some of which obviously included the internet, with no serious progress in any of those attempts; it was either me who wasn't attracted, or the girls. If you are not a distinctively good-looking man, you either have to be very rich or have an above-the-average career merely to qualify for marrying a Turkish girl.
