Overall the girls are okay, but it's nothing amazing like Lebanon.
I was in Lebanon a few weeks ago. Lebanese girls are hotter by quite a wide margin I would say. Shame that Beirut is so damn expensive or I would have stayed longer.

I think a big problem is partying as I've heard you can't get into most clubs in Istanbul without a girl.
I get around this problem by telling them I am press and that I am writing about the bar / club. I have a press pass I can show so it's fairly easy for me to get past this problem. (Note : I am a published journalist so I am only bending the truth a little here and it does not cost the club anything to let me in so there is no reason to feel bad about it)

Also, I heard that there is a law barring Turkish dudes from touching any Turkish woman without consent, so you won't see any grinding going on in clubs.
I have had employees of bars tap me on the shoulder and try to tell me that I am 'not allowed' to talk to girls. Like I said, Turkish dudes are cockblocking dickheads. I mostly ignore them but it is annoying.
Of course if the girls were western tourists they would not care but, because the girls are turkish and I am not, they think they are being 'protective' of 'their' women.
I hear endless complaints from Turkish women about the over-bearing nature of Turkish men and about how they try to justify it as 'just being protective'.
