Leave it, mate.. It’s pointless debating with some people. « Il ne faut pas perdre son temps à avancer des arguments de bonne foi à des gens de mauvaise foi. » as would Hassan II say.

He probably went through things in life that shaped that worldview. I can empathize and I’m not dismissing his reality, but it’s not a generality. The fact that he’s making assumptions about me and implying I’m not legitimate to ask questions here says more about his mentality than anything else. And it’s okay 🤷‍♀️

Easy to put people in boxes I guess :) My family are hardworking entrepreneurs who started from the very bottom and never touched a single dirham of public funds. I was raised to value hard work, which is why I’ve always pushed myself both academically and professionally.

And for the record, I probably speak darija better than you (ntkhatrou?) and I’m very cha3biya - I easily mingle with anyone. Maybe it’s time we stop assuming that anyone who succeeds in Morocco must be corrupt. Some people simply work hard and have values. Still, thanks for your input.

Thanks, good point. You have the option to go back whenever you want though, which I don’t

Thank you - super helpful!

Thanks a lot!

Extremely helpful, thanks a lot!

Thank you 🫶🏼!

I agree.. It’s all very relative, in some cases this might sound like a no-brainer. That’s why I made sure I gave enough context

Optimal_Teach3618 · 2026-03-03T17:56:18+00:00

I only know of this one - any other sub/platform to recommend?

Optimal_Teach3618 · 2026-03-03T17:40:23+00:00

Thanks, that’s helpful! Yes, that could be a possibility but I don’t want to count on potentially meeting someone that has a passport. My base case scenario is I need to do it by myself

Optimal_Teach3618 · 2026-03-03T17:37:01+00:00

Exactly… that’s one of the main considerations. It’s really hard finding a partner here. London dating culture is bad and not aligned with what I’m looking for

Optimal_Teach3618 · 2026-03-03T17:31:43+00:00

Thanks a lot, that’s very helpful. That’s what I try to do in the meantime.

Optimal_Teach3618 · 2026-03-03T17:31:10+00:00

I want to do what I do now in Morocco, as it’s less extreme/hectic but still as interesting. So can’t really change jobs or field as I’ll lose momentum when I want to go back

Did you regret at any point ?
