It depends on who you meet.
Even on Cyprus there are many different people with different outlooks on life.
I had a "fling" with a cypriot guy and he was bragging to me how many girls he has had "Mainly english" and he was proud of it!
I asked him why he doesn't settle down with a nice cypriot girl and he said "No way" but didn't say why?
Typical player i guess, but this cypriot guy did have a knack of making you feel "special" and feeding you a load of crap until he got what he wanted!
I've always moaned about English guys not being nice to women, but after meeting this guy, and how arrogant and abnoxious and pigheaded he was to me, I now love English men again!!
PS: And no it wasn't Ivan
