I Don't Want To Marry A Guy From My Culture by lovelydoll: 8:44pm On May 25, 2013
Last night i was speaking with my aunt, she asked if i was single i told her "yes" and she said she would find a husband from Nigeria for me.The thing is i am not so open to the "nigerian/african mentality". I want to tell my aunt that if she is going to search for a guy for me he has to be born here in america or atleast grew up here for most of his life.I have already tried to date guys fresh from africa but they all just seemed to fall right into that Typical nigerian/african mentality. that i just do not like and can not cooperate with. I am not trying to be offensive or anything.

I want to know how to tell my aunt this,without sounding like am looking down at my african men ,(which am not).

i also don't mind if he was born in africa or has african parents,i just don't want the "african mentality" type of guy.Cause i know we will fight day and night and end up in a big divorce/breakup(past experience).

Now i know that your problem is complicated. Because your post just intentionally classified all African guys in a primitive ideological settings which is very wrong. Despite the fact that most men beat their wife does'nt make all men thesame gal. If you don't want to remain single forever, get a real man, forget culture and settle down; or else your story will be like Tales by Moonlight.

You need to read her post again, perhaps.

So why haven't you been able to meet someone so far? Have you been looking long? America has a lot of eligible bachelors so take your time and enjoy yourself. If you dont want an African then dont go for one. Go for what you want.

Atheist:-D:

am only 23 , and i had someone, but he moved and am not up for long distance relationships.I don't mind her finding someone for me it's cool ,but if she is am going to have to tell her my type.

Also just so you know am an atheist too.

An African man would not accept that.

No it doesn't. I understand her point. She's just like my sister. They both like a man who does not have that African mentality that puts the man up there and that same culture that says that the woman must be subject to the man's rule.

@OP
I like the fact that you know what you want in a man. That's the first step towards getting the man of your dreams.
Re: I Don't Want To Marry A Guy From My Culture by jeffizy(m): 1:59am On May 26, 2013
Since you've probably spent much time abroad, i expect that you will be in the best position to know where you can meet your kind of man.

Politely tell your Aunt that u won't want to appear desperate to any man.

Re: I Don't Want To Marry A Guy From My Culture by MrsChima1(f): 1:02pm On May 26, 2013
Why does she have to date a BA Why not date whomever is compatible to you? Don't let society dictatr your life. Live it boo!
