Especially American sarcasm. That takes a lot of experience for someone who's not American to understand and not take literally
True and Google translate doesn’t help with this lol.
That is why communication is so important, so that no one is offended intentionally.
This was an interesting conversation. I dated a man who was Liberian, but born in the US. Like Shannay mentioned, moving to(or being born in) America does make a difference in how they are and/or date
I agree, it makes a big difference! I hope it was a positive dating experience?!
Tiffany, you did a great job moderating and very good questions. I would have liked to hear about sex expectations and fidelity. I hope you get to have a reverse conversation with the African men married to AA women. Wish both ladies success in their marriages. 💛💛
Hearing the perspective from African men would be a great conversation!
Thank you so much, I appreciate. I would love to have the conversation but usually only women are open to coming on the channel, but ill keep searching. Sex is always a spicy topic. Fidelity is always a great question, that I will try to ask the next interview.
Although not married; I don't mind having a convo on these topics. Let's link up. I'm from Ghana.
@@nannaotteng9994 Yes lets chat, I would love to hear a African male perspective on dating
African men are great the only that worries me is that a lot of them want to marry you once they find out you are American so they can get their green card.
That's why its so important to date and take your time to see what people intentions are.
Hey, Tiffany! This was such a great conversation to have with you and Shanay! Thank you for having me on your channel.
Hey Jas, this was definitely a fun discussion! Look forward to collaborating on other projects/conversations
@@whereintheheardistiffany Yes, same here!
This is good and very true. My fiancé is Ghanaian and lives in Ghana. I’ve become so silent on speaking to people about my love because I realized a lot of people are ignorant. I met my man naturally in person so everyone’s dynamic is different. I found myself isolating my love life from my family bc a lot don’t understand. I do have some support but it’s hard trying to explain to them but they won’t understand unless they traveled there themselves lol but yes I don’t recommend any woman to date ldr internationally bc your wisdom and discernment needs to be sharp bc there are a lot of scammers out here. Pay attention to one’s character
Curious to know, did you meet your fiancé while traveling to Ghana? Yes it will def be hard for your friends and family if they have never personally met him. I'm not opposed to dating internationally but I would say take it very slow and visit them for an extended amount of time before actually marrying them. When and where do you intend on marrying him? I have other videos on the channel about marrying Ghanaian men, feel free to watch them.
You absolutely right ppl think they know what’s best for you, if you happy then by all means be happy
that lady in the black is cute. Lucky dude...
Haha thanks, husband!
Yes I must agree your a lucky 🍀 man!
Thank you Tiffany for hosting us, it was very fun chatting with you and Jasmine. I enjoyed this conversation and love learning about other international couples experiences.
Always pleasure having you on the channel! Talking about love is one of the things I enjoy discussing
Was 5 years in the game with a Nigerian- (he was great! No doubt!) But the experience as a whole sent me straight back to my American men!! Lmbo!
Wow was it that bad?
Teach pookies how to be men
Oh no, I need to hear more about this experience. Lol its a good thing they sent you to your boo because you are a whole fiance now!
@@Untitled0752 No it wasn’t that bad. He’s one of my closest friends today. He taught me a lot. Like being treated the way I always thought I was supposed to be treated wasn’t a fantasy. We had a great relationship. More of a friendship. But ultimately it fizzled out into just that. A friendship.
so Jas's husband and I are third cultur. This means that in the home, we grew up in the culture of our parents, but outside the home, we are in the American culture. So we are kind of vacillating between the two
I've never heard of the term third culture but this is an interesting concept. I can't wait to see your video when you discuss this topic.
I though third culture usually means eg you were born in one country, grew up in another but now live in a third eg a diplomat’s child. So you are not fixed in terms of identity, to one place.
I appreciate both of the ladies perspectives. I'm familiar with an experience like Jasmine but am learning new things about Shanay's experience.
Yes Shanay had an interesting experience of meeting her husband. I love international love stories
I relate to Jas's husband's upbringing. I moved to the US when I wass 9, so culturally, I am more American than Ukrainian. I understand Russian perfectly, but spoken is very broken.
What other languages do you know/ can speak or understand? Have you gone back to visit Ukraine recently?
I agree with Shanay's statement about stereotyping an entire culture just because you dated someone from that culture
Yes that has been a compliant from men in the travel groups, they felt Africa was being stereotyped vs focusing on the individual.
The issue of traditional roles when it comes to African men is a stereotype because there are a lot of married African women in Africa who have jobs.
Traditional roles can be a stereotype but it can also be the truth. While I agree, married African women are working, there are many that still stay at home. I think it is about the individual relationships about whether they choose traditional or untraditional roles
@@whereintheheardistiffany I agree and that is why I said it was a stereotype.
The majority are working. Africa has the highest rates of female entrepreneurs in the world
So good. Love these type of convos! I would love to share my experiences if you have another panel discussion
I’m so glad you enjoyed this discussion. Has your experience been with dating African men as well? Happy to hear you would be open to being on another panel.
@@whereintheheardistiffany hi 👋🏾 and yes it has been. Lots of good and not so good experiences but enjoyed them all 😌
I'm a Nigerian man, probably going to marry an African-American woman... but I gotta say its a bit embarrassing this talk of the men getting better as cooks and not a word about any of the women doing the same. Anyhoo, my lady has shown interest in Nigerian foods and making them though she's nervous (I'll enjoy it anyway🙂). Much respect to you all and good luck going forward.
Hello, my fellow Nigerian Brother. We probably didn’t discuss it but all of the video cook and speaking for myself it’s good. I think it’s cool she is interested in cooking your food, I’m sure with time she will get better! Good luck with your relationship, hope y’all get married soon
@@whereintheheardistiffany got u
@@fistandpen2505hi, did you guys get married?
@@lovelock1994 no unfortunately, some distance and other issues came up (we're good tho). But I'm still not married, so...
I enjoyed listening about each and every insight. Dating sure is tough these days. TFS!
Yes dating is def a daunting task!
Been talking to a Senegalese man he is a lot older than me our situation is kind of different he doesnt know english that well at all n doesnt have a lot of money but i like him so much and he is so sweet and giving to me any advice
Do you know French? Have you met him in person or you met him online? Just make sure to not give him money and make sure its something you really want. How do y’all normally communicate ? I would def say take your time and don’t rush into anything.
@@whereintheheardistiffany neither of us speak French he speaks wolof we met in person only seeing each other once or twice a week I don't give nobody no money but I fear its money that will eventually break us apart
I will personally advice African (Nigerian, Ghanaian) men to stick to their own women. No matter the temptations. Culturally we are not the same and there are deep seated resentment for Africans in the black community.
As someone who considers themselves apart of the "Black Community "I have no deep seated resentment for Africans. Please only speak for yourself, you are not here to represent an entire community. Who are you to personally advice about relationship advice?? If you are African and choose to date only African Women that will be your personal choice
thanks for this platform. i've dated nigerians, ghanians and gambians. I am dating and trying to see which man s right for me. its a lot right now for me because I am currently conversing with around 6 africans. and its overwhelming right now. please help!
I could write a GOOD book on the subject!
Girl, I would def read this book 📕 if you wrote it! 😉
So glad I came across this video from the Jet Black travel group! 👋🏾
I haven’t finished the video just yet but I’m currently making my way through the video. My boyfriend is from Cape Town but grew up in France. We’ve been dating for 8 months now. There are definitely cultural differences but with open communication and a willingness to learn it’s been nice so far 😊
I’m sure by the time I finish the video I’ll have more questions lol
Yes, I'm so happy that you came from the travel group to watch the video. That's interesting that he is from South Africa and grew up in France. Are you fluent in French? Where did you meet your boyfriend? lol after watching the video, did you have more questions. I agree that its important to be patient and understanding of each other cultures.
It was, I enjoyed it , PhoenixAZ
Glad you enjoyed Phoenix
Great video ladies.
Thank you so much for watching :-) Glad you enjoyed the video
I thought y’all were gonna have these men on here because it is pointless to keep having these conversations for your understanding without bringing in the perspectives of these men. It’s a touchy, tricky subject so both parties must be in on it
I have a video talking to a Ghanaian guy, so I’m trying to get both perspectives. I also have videos on the channel with couples. Also sometimes spouses of people I interview don’t always want to be Interviewed for TH-cam
African men are very domineering to their women. He's still a man, period. Black, white or African, men. Ya'll live in a dream world.
Pitiful
I called a week ago inquiring about if an American lady wanted to date possibly looking fir a potential husband who would I contact, si the lady said I will pass your info to someone , if you have any advice please share on that
Who did you call? I’m not sure there is a person to call. You can naturally meet men in America, Africa online etc. there may be matchmaking services but I don’t personally know of any of them
Si I hear one of the ladies talking about the peace core , would you suggest I get involved in something like that ?
Peace Corp is usually a 2 year commitment in another country. If you have time available, want to help others while traveling, you should look into volunteering with the program.
Hi.. she is black from NY, 57 and he is Senegalese... 27, in NY two years....they just met..asked to marry her... would this be respected by his family and friends?
I honestly would be leery of the 30 age year gap. What are his intentions and why isn’t he dating someone his actual age? I can’t say whether or not he would be respected by the family/ friends it would depend on several factors
@@whereintheheardistiffany thx!!..he says he spoke to his Uncle about me...gurl I'm cautious as LL!!! . also he has no children...As I think of his age group.. those women are married already ..but truly..I'm flattered and digging him ...I made it clear without being to NY..that I will pull the plug if I'm lied too..kind .. loyal.. honest..my age group are not doing that!! Thx gurl!! 😊
Engaged to a Senegalese man met at local store 💕
Congratulations on your engagement! When is the wedding?
😢Don’t Do it sis!!! He probably needs a green card. He will go to any lengths to get it too😮 even if that means putting you in prison on false domestic violence charges & leaving you financially destitute. 😢
I have ran into scammers reaching out to me n fb , I have had bad luck
I would not even respond to the guys reaching out on FB just ignore them.
Interesting.
Glad you found the video interesting! Hope you enjoyed :-)
I’m open to other men in Africa i here 3 different men in culture
Yes keep your options open
What dating cites cites yiu think is safe no scammers using other ppls face & profiles , & come to find out they using fake profiles someone else
Unfortunately all cities could potentially have scammers. You have to discernment when dealing with men from other countries especially from the internet
I’m Looking outside & im a widower since COVID , I’m a 63 yr old but very much active but I have t seen anyone here , im interested in African men these days I had some bad experiences with Nigerians on line scams, but I kniw all are not bad cause I have a couple friends married to Nigerians recently in the last 3 yrs they all was like a domino effect , I herd one of the ladies talking about she went to a meeting , I considered checking with the Nigerian community here in Phoenix, can you give advice on how to visit the community council , Phoenix AZ,USA
I respect you for not generalizing because of your bad experiences.
😢Don’t Do it sis!!! He probably needs a green card. He will go to any lengths to get it too😮 even if that means putting you in prison on false domestic violence charges & leaving you financially destitute. 😢
I don’t live in Phoenix, so unfortunately I can’t advise you on the community there. Is their a reason why you only want to date Nigerians? Yes please be careful about online scams and do not give anyone money via the internet. So sorry about your husband passing away during COVID
Lady. Most African men your age are all married.
@@NIO623 I know there’s widowed men out there also, & hr doesn’t have to be a widow , I’m open but not crazy , I do believe in Love a second time around , I know Africa full of scammers but so is America I talk to a lot of women my age that are single by way of widowed or divorce after 30!yrs their husbands took off si no my dear all men my age are not married, & by the way who said he had Ti be my age?
Good topic and welcome to the motherland. Please call them : mother in law or madman and father in law or papa to shaw respect. Calling them in their names is A NONO. Learn a little bit of language and cooking as a form of integrating into the culture. Otherwise, kitchen and bed make a better home.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video topic, Yes I agree but not calling them by their name. I have not learn to cook the food or the language but yes you try to learn them both. Hope you will come back for more relationship questions.
My senegalese husband calls my (white) parents mama and papa, we all feel it's sweet. Your comment gives me the last push to now naturally also call my parents in law mama and papa. ❤
