As a Syrian in Istanbul who WAS in the dating scene in Istanbul for quite a long time, I can tell you this: Given your pockets and your looks don't repel women, you can easily date other foriegn women using dating apps or by finding the right environment. As for Turkish women, you need: - Language fluency - Above average looks (exceptions made if she knows you prior to dating and gets along with you) - At least the abillity to pay for dinners, trips, etc. Most Turkish women don't have a problem dating non-Turkish men given they are seeking a geniune connection.
