  1. Clearly I don't know the motives of these particular individuals....maybe they were looking for green cards. However it is my understanding that when a West African man sees a woman who is marriage material he will quickly ask for her hand in marriage. I know that a long courtship is not necessary in my culture so maybe this could be another cultural difference that you are misinterpreting.

    That is why a lot of Black American women do not want to marry African men. It is not a very good idea to marry a guy you have known for such a short period of time. I had one who proposed to me after he helped me take my groceries to my car. He asked to meet my family. I never met this man prior to this.

    Another occassion I simply became acquaintance with an African male, he became very clingy and controlling after a week, and warned all the other men to 'leave me alone' because he was going to marry me. It was embarassing.

    I just don't think its a good idea to marry any foreigners, their motives are not always the best. Most just want a greencard.

  2. Stereotyping a whole subset of men....I encourage black American women to come to their own conclusions by actually getting out there and dating. I believe they will be pleasantly surprised.

    There are a lot of african men where I live so I'm speaking from experience. Their views on women and age are very outdated. Also being that a lot of them are foreigners, they want to marry you the first couple days of knowing you just to get a greencard. And then later you find out that they have a wife and children back in their village.
