As a Tanzanian lady i concur with this…eeeiisshh we are very stupid,we really don’t even initiate a conversation when you meet someone for date or something…straight up meeting the first day the next day we meet to f*ck…i mean Tanzanian men made this very common to ladies here…cheating🤦🏾♀️no value in dating,i have alot for real. I decided to stay single for the reasons Russel just mentioned
Majority of issue you talking about are general and not specific to only Tanzania - Cheating: Men cheat more in general - STD: Spread more depend on the data you have - Money: Money in relationship have always been a big thing everywhere
You’re right-but in Tanzania and across Africa, issues like cheating, STDs, and financial stability can carry extra weight due to societal expectations and economic conditions. It’s a complex topic with many layers, and these factors often play a bigger role in shaping relationships here than in some other places. I appreciate you bringing this up-it’s crucial to consider how these dynamics differ across cultures!
White men are known to go after pros in africa that they meet in hotel and bars. No wonder u come here and complain that they ask u for money. Of course they will, theh dont have money. @@ArchitectRussell
@@ArchitectRussell Mother's always right 😂 In all honest, the crowd you're with is not a good one. I completely understand what you're saying and the ladies you're describing, but they're the outliers. Not even myself would be hanging around those people. I would suggest finding friends in the corporate world. Go to a bookclub, there's one at The Ridge Cafe every last Saturday of the month. Cultured Tanzanians and foreigners, great connections and such. There are art galley's at "Nafasi" from time to time, fantastic people are always around. Just to name a few. Most of what you said are accurate, but it's just that you're around bad crowd.
What you said is 100% true. When you are white, Most Tanzanian women will see you as an ATM (not all of them), It's mostly a cultural thing where many older Tanzanians taught us that all white people are rich.
I'm Tanzania and what you are saying is not true , you just associates with wrong people . Are real Tanzanian girl can not ask you money.@@ArchitectRussell
@@ArchitectRussell 🤣, weeeeell you've been here for a decade so you should know your way around by about 8 years ago 😅 ... But it's a sad mentality we've all been indoctrinated into; that because you're white you're automatically superior and rich so you get gold-dug by girls and boys alike... And their families, my GOD if that ain't normal I don't know what is, especially from the village uncles and aunties that girl you might want to marry have never met a day in their lives...
Actually people are richer than the government in Tanzania, unlike countries like Kenya where the government is richer than the people and hence severe poverty in kenya
For “severe poverty”-often defined as living on less than $1.90 per day-Tanzania also generally has a higher rate than Kenya, based on international data from the World Bank and United Nations.
What are y'all even saying..look at the GDP per Capita of both countries and the HDI which reflects to the basic life index Kenya is above Tanzania...I wonder what criteria you used to come up with such thinking Tanzania is rich with less poor people lol
@@ArchitectRusselljust because Kenya is expensive doesn't mean it has more poor people than Tanzania I know y'all are just obsessed with us and you can't do your own sh*t without mentioning Kenya
- The reality is, the dating-scene is Toxic all-over- the-world! - Most people meet during high-school, & colleges, get-married, have children, and live happily ever after! - If you are still Single-Over-30, it's hard, but God is able!
Reading all the comments 😂… but the title would’ve been much better if it was “Dating in Dar es Salaam” 😂😂 Pole sanaa.. the crowd. You have are taking advantage of you as a foreigner my dear 😂😂
Oh it’s for the search term - no one will search for “Dating in Dar es slaaam” or very few in the world! I like the way people presume it’s me and not the crowd. 10 years kinda long enough 😂 I’d like to meet some of these ‘right crowd’ I have a feeling they are the same but they won’t admit 😂
You nailed it man😂 Im Tanzanian i can admit everything you said is truth, only now you can do as a favor the difference btn Tanzanian girls and white girls at your home country or western cultures
🥴🥴🥴 Russell, even if it's in your country, you can't go to a st *rip club and expect to find a woman to be with ,without having money, you've gone to a bar and you're coming to talk about all Tanzanian women???? And when you call them do you want them to come for free? and you already knows what you are calling for. If you were interested in having a Tanzanian woman, you would not start by looking for women who sell themselves, how will you be able to go to someone's business and expect them to give you products for free? If you really want a woman to marry, you should look for the right place and not at the bar and those who standing on the side of the road for the business.The women you followed are those who depend on men to earn money and love a comfortable life without working. And about being late, it's all over Africa 🤪🥴
If you caught the whole video, you’d see I actually pointed that out. I mentioned the importance of finding the right environment for real connections and that not every place is ideal for meeting someone with genuine intentions. Cheers.
@@ArchitectRussellthis seems like a stereotype especially since you went to bars clubs and areas famous for male and female prostitution drugs etc...I agree with the comment above, if you're looking for decent people then go to decent places and also find people who are educated, well travelled etc, people who are at your similar level, otherwise you're setting up yourself for failure and its important to be aware of the culture expectations...best of luck
I am Kenyan and understand what you are saying but why not hang out with your kind? You are not exactly handsome, you drive a ruggedy vehicle and frankly I wouldn’t date you. The problem with majority of our people is elevating caucasians and this is because of lack of exposure. Live and let live.
Complete mis characterization of Tanzania and all Developing African countries, Im sure youre talking about women in tourists circle, the ones yoy met in club especially in a big city in Dar, women who their intentions is not relationship. This is so wrong and very disrespectful, a woman who will date you as a foreigner in Tanzania or Africa, do not need anything from you but money, tbose types of women are all over the world even in Europe, this 8s so wrong
😂 ulivyosema vyote ni spot on, you date a woman and she's suddenly an orphan and u got to take care of her, also about them having no personality is fucking annoying and very true, I'm im Eastern Europe right now and I've had interesting conversations with women that barely speak English that were more interesting
I totally get where you’re coming from! It’s refreshing to have a genuine connection, and sometimes, those language barriers make conversations even more memorable. Cultural differences in dating can be eye-opening in both good and challenging ways. Appreciate you sharing your experience! Where in Eastern Europe?
Do you speak Swahili?....try to.learn the language then communication with the right people will be easier..it's like any where else in the world.....😅
Kuna mdada kadate nae, Kaka ela , kacheat. Pole Mzungu, but I think you should make more friends. But women who doesn't love you, will always ask more money from you. Love yourself, be you be careful don't trust everybody, you are white some Poeple only see dollars on your face and not friendship. And please don't judge Tanzania with those few people you spend your time with. 😢😂
I think umekutana na watoto wa mjini na machawa kwa wanaume. Watoto wa mjini ni slayqueens wasiopenda kufanya kazi na wanadangia wazungu. It all about money. Machawa ni wakaka they pretend to have money but they are brokedy broke. Ukiwaona kwa nje hutawadhania kuwa hawana pesa, tunakutana nao sana na wengi ni watu wa viwanja every weekend, wasafi wananukia ila ni marioo yani wanapenda mseleleko balaa🤣🤣. I Honestly feel sad for this experience you had maana watu wachache wanafanya watanzania tuonekane hamnazo 😅 But i promise you hii nchi ina wadada wengi tu wamenyooka yani wapo bize na kazi, elimu, siasa nk. I'm sorry you had to experience that. Tanzania is a beautiful country, with great people.
true! but it not only happens to you, even for we Tanzanian guys, first day you date these girls they cry all problems in the world to give them money. Also lack of exposure, and a really bad culture going around at the moment, they think white men hit the jackpot, kching ATM, totally wrong, you will struggle to get a good girl, best mutual introduction through friends, you said it all, you have really sassed it out
Yeah I thought they might have had practice somewhere else. It’s not just me then! 😅. I want to be with someone to bring me up, not bring me down. I just don’t want to hear that shit. It’s pathetic.
Most humanbeings are the same. The only thing that separates us is the veneer of culture and environment. Ignorance (lack of exposure), fear of the unknown, self interested, searching for security etc. These are just few things that most humans inhibit including ones in developed coutnries. More Africans need to read, travel and tour developed countries to understand our beautiful culture and identity but also learn from other cultures because we are more similar than different. @architectrussel thank you for sharing your dating experience in Tanzania.😂
Thanks for sharing your perspective! It’s true that at the core, people everywhere share a lot of the same values and concerns, regardless of cultural differences. Traveling and learning from each other’s cultures is so important for breaking down misunderstandings and building connections. Though sometimes there are exceptions, I really appreciate your thoughtful comment!
Okey dar girls are after money, no love, now if you are looking for true love get out of that city and don't like look rich and you get to see the true friends. Tanzania will treat you depending on how you treat them, if you seem rich they will always appear poor to you.😂😂😂
Russell, you can do waaaayy better with the choices of your friends and women😅. Also, those people are outliers, they don't reflect the entire Tanzanian community.
Would you please inform us more about real estate development for investors in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar? Such as this villa for $12M in Fumba Town Zanzibar, way overpriced.
