@ Deniz & Pantheman

You will be surprise how many men nowadays who are still single at the age of 28-36 look for some money, a house or land that they can sell or ask for a loan etc. Its not so common between the younger one but older one with an "ok" job not the best one they do expect for something. But as Pantheman said they do not demand anything just expect.

Hmmm. I married only three times and all I got was two divorces and a slap in the face. (for the two divorces)

Poor Deniz.!!

Deniz, had you married a GC girls 3 times, you would have had 3 houses by now, and all in your own name.!

I believe the idea of "buying off" the groom to be, by the bride's family was in the hopes that the husband to be, will be kind to their daughter during their marriage, so that he would not be abusive or run around with other women. In another words, not only the parents gave their daughter away to these men, but they also paid cash on top of it. That must have made the girl feel "special", that the parents couldn't even give her away for "free" but they had to pay someone to take her off their hands.!!

In the past, TC and Turkish mothers would start gathering things for their very young daughters at the early age, to be given to them when they got married 15-20 years later. They would gather or make themselves, from embroidered bed and pillow covers, to bed covers, to buying pots and pans, and stored them in a big chest.

Thanks God for IKEA these days, to get all this stuff.!

Thanks Kiks, but this man is not for sale.

I dont suppose you have a few houses, do you?

Kikapu yes I am single and I am not thinking to change that status any soon.

As you said "In the past, TC and Turkish mothers would start gathering things for their very young daughters at the early age, to be given to them when they got married 15-20 years later. They would gather or make themselves, from embroidered bed and pillow covers, to bed covers, to buying pots and pans, and stored them in a big chest."...that happens as well with some families nowadays as well....my mum made sure that when I move to my house I will have from crystal classes to bed sheets...


Do i see the sign of the EURO in your eyes?? All that and the house belong to me and not my future husband. He will have the pleasure to use them but not own them...


By the way even though you say that this things belong to 1950s...a friend of mine who has a good job and own a half build house he is looking for someone who owns something...a house, land or her parents have money. He doesnt demand all that but he would love to feel the joy of spending or invest them as he said. Also many of my friends (female) told me that their parents have done the same as mine did. Parents want the best of their children and of course they dont want them to suffer or straggle when they will have their own families.

Words of wisdom.

I think parents should let their young struggle a bit so they value whats given (later) more.

"Oh, I have it made, who wants to work" and " My wife will look after me, because I love her". Yeh, right, 'what are you doing in the strip club then?'Come on girls wake up.

I am not looking for number four btw.

I am talking to myself again. I need a brake.
