Long Term Considerations Regarding African Brides
While mail order brides have long been a sought after commodity, few men have bothered to consider pursuing African brides. The chief reason for this is that knowledge of dating agencies that operate within the African continent is scarce. And that scarcity of information is due to the rather limited web presence that Africa and its businesses have on the web, compared with businesses in other parts of the world. With the exception of developed areas such as South Africa, Egypt, Tunisia and so on, many African countries currently have a rather minor web presence.
This also makes long distance relationships practically impossible in many cases. Compared to the proliferation of e-mail services that the Western world takes for granted, Africa is reliant on rather few providers of electronic mail. Nonetheless, the situation is not without its advantages. A man seeking to pick one of the many African brides available to him must simply behave as those before him did in an age before the Internet.
The real problems with the relationship itself will actually begin after the marriage. Initially, to an African girl who has grown up in an impoverished village, a white man with a decent income will seem like royalty. They will be joyous at the prospect of having a better life away from the squalor that they have always known.
How things progress from there is really up to you. It can be all too easy for a man's ego to get the better of him and to inflate his importance, his wealth and his standing in order to impress the African girl he is dating. There are two obvious problems with this, however:
(1) It is completely unnecessary. The girl will see your situation and quality of life as an unimaginable world of luxury compared with what she has grown up with and been accustomed to. She will already be very impressed, so it is pointless to exaggerate for an effect that you have already had.
(2) She will find out that you are lying. If you are in the market for an African bride, the woman will eventually end up living with you and experiencing first-hand what sort of life you really lead. She will become accustomed to the ways of your country and get wised up to how things work. In short, she will see through your earlier boasting, feel that she has been lied to, and will consequently resent you for it.
If you really want the relationship to work, you must be frank with the girl that you want. Let her know what you do, how things in your country work, and what sort of life she can expect with you. It will still be an awful lot better than the life she does lead in her own country, so she will not be too likely to be put off. In addition, you will avoid arguments in future caused by her feeling cheated by any fibs you told her at the start. Being honest with your African bride will ensure that your relationship gets off to a good start.
