haaaaa tearoses

What of if he collects ela OR he gets this snobbish self conceited look from the girls he's trying to be friendly with

Only an uncouth girl with no home training will be rude to a simple gesture of friendship from anyone.
Thats why I said he should try to be friends first before anything else.
Its not by force, and if he is polite then people should be polite back and he too should back off if anyone has made it clear that they dont want to be friends with him.

LOL lots of good tips from others cant really add much.

On the train issue it really depends on what time you travel. I tend to travel before the peak rush hour times and yes I have even made a friend who notices when I am not the train. However, after a really annoying commute to work this morning though rush hour I can feel the OP on not being in the mood for chit chat or chatting up people when travelling during peak times.

Tearoses is spot on the Pure Gym bit as well.

Join a gym and attend classes . Spin especially There tends to be a lot girls in Spin class and so the few bros dotted will be noticed. the girls might not be Nigerian though but you can never know

If you are really bent on the Nigerian gal angle though, the surest( not necessarily the best) bet is to attend a 'Happening' Nigerian Church.

What 'Happening' Nigerian churches would you recommend? I am in similar situation as the OP

Shock:

Depending on where you live ,most of the big 'brand' ( sorry could not think another adjective) churches i.e. RCCG, Winners, Christ Embassy, House on the rock etc. would tend to have a big parish/branch. For instance in RCCG, Jesus House in Brent Cross Comes to mind, Fola Alade church in the East ( think he has left RCCG) its in Ilford or Canary Wharf not too sure. and loads of others.

Personally though, I am sometimes wary of the 'happening' church hook ups. I would prefer not to expand on that so I don't come off as being judgemental.

However, they do work for some people. Especially for those who are very particular about their spouses being Nigerian.

Mr cork is that you

Still on the Train issue, about 70 - 80% of people in the train are always lost in their thought especially during rush hour, personally i think its a bad move

Lonehenge:
I am 28 this year and I have lived in London for more than 4 years. I have a decent job in the city and career progression looks good too.

My biggest source of frustration has been my loveless life for the past 3 years or so. Day by day I am stuck in the vicious circle of work, sleep, play eat. Repeat. As I am approaching 30, I am starting to get really worried about myself

I have tried a few networking events...notably MBTN and NCITY events, however, I am not too certain if these either adds to my frustration or somewhat provide some relief knowing that there are many others like me out there.

More fundamental is that the woman I have dreamed of - Nigerian roots, smart, open minded, ambitious, confident and fun - never seem to attend these events....maybe she doesn't exist at all?

Anyway, back to my reason for opening a thread, I would like to know if there are many others out here like me?

Second, for those who have been like me before, what have you done differently?

Other views or opinions are of course welcomed.

Bros this is very interesting because I am also 28, London based, although born and raised here and I think I understand your frustration. I am going to try to assist the best way I can.

I have also been to many MBTN and NCITY events. It's mostly recycled people so it's not worth attending to find new women.

In terms of improving your hitherto rate of luck, it may be worth asking yourself what your end goal is. That may seem abstract and I can deduce from your initial post that you want to get married sooner rather than later. However, if I was in your shoes I'd ask myself why do I want to get married so much? How can a women make a worthwhile contribution to my life? Etc

You see the problem is most people, and this includes many of the young ladies you'll meet at such events, or even elsewhere in London, are out for what they can get. That's to say that they don't get the precept of 'quid pro quo', that is mutually beneficial relationships. Often they can give you an Economics PhD-level thesis of what they want from you, but the irony in this is that they often have little to offer themselves; not even rudiments. Even some of the latter-day 'Feminists' are only operating under this rubric so as to turn guy to mugu-maga through pseudo-intellectual manipulation. Make sure that the same standard any babe wants to hold you to, she's also willing to meet herself. If not then jog her on sharp sharp.

I wish you well, but please bear in mind that you're in a good position and any women who falls from the sky may actually do more harm than good. It's imperative she's worth spending time with, otherwise it's a waste of finite resources. Please don't get frustrated with yourself as to not having cornered a babe and remember you will be a catch for many a babe. Take your time, relax and be at peace; the right babe for you will eventually come.

All the best and Godspeed.
