stop adding me !

Even that does not work and that is why we rely on members reporting unsolicited and annoying private messages or contact requests and topic postings. We routinely ban members for such violations of our rules.
No female member should have to change her avatar photo in order to be safe here on Expat-blog. We take issues like this quite seriously.

Egyptian guys harrass niqabis. Period.
I was talking about a gross-looking person. You can't tell what's under the niqab.
And btw, as you probably know already, some men do find the niqab attractive, as it gives the impression they are hiding something so beautiful.

It doesn't eradicate the problem, but lessens it. I used to be a moderator on a social website. One thing I learnt, is the majority of complaints, I'm confident to say over 90%, was from women with average-to pretty avatars. They are more likely to be targeted than someone hideous-looking, for obvious reasons.

No it will not ,
Even I get those messages, they don't even bother to read my profile and if they did, they will never text me.
These are just horny guys waiting for a change to catch someone. For them its the only way to get in touch with girls.
And that's okay with me but not on this site, there are many matrimonial and dating sites for that purpose.
Your avatar is normal. Try changing it to an aged women, and you will notice a difference. They will think twice about being horny with a granny.
On behalf of Egyptian people and as an Egyptian man (married and have 4 daughters
), I apology for any disturbance that any immature guy or a young kid has caused you during your accommodation , and I believe that most of the Egyptian people are not like that and don't accept such behavior.Please enjoy your stay in Egypt and sorry again

Best Regards

So silly! like they are born from the same mother. I made it clear in my description that you will be blocked or reported but it seems not interesting. Since then I got a soooo big curiosity: you all live for/from harassment ? Who knows if I will get a clear answer before I die!
Having that pretty picture up is only making matters worse. It seems to me the intention behind that is to lure them in, then give them a piece of your mind! I will change that avatar. It won't necessarily end the private messages, but I'm sure it will lessen them. That's if you do genuinely want to take steps to deal with this. It seems the opposite though. You want them to send, so that you can complain about it. And what better way than uploading a nice pic to get their attention. It's a bit like dressing provocatively, and then complaining why people are staring at you.

Lol. It's not even my picture. But doesn't matter for them a scary pic or no, they will never stop to dump the rubbish.

It's part & parcel of the Internet, has always been, and will always continue to be. Only thing you can do about it is accept it will always happen so simply - report/block them. No amount of complaining will change it.
These can be reported. When you open the message, click on the action button at the top of the message. Click report and then tell admin why you are reporting this.
DO NOT delete the message as admin will want to check it.
Unfortunately there will always be trolls, misfits and unsavory types who use the internet for their own nefarious purposes.聽
There are over a million members here on EB and so it is very difficult for admin to weed out each and every unwanted post or PM.
Please assist by reporting them.

Help our site by Reporting these messages you receive. We will quickly eradicate those who are here for dating.
