It's not about law of karma lmao. I'm not just open to dating someone seriously that doesn't share the same culture as me.

For others it may be different.

Trust me if you don't have a morally defensible reason for anything then you are courting Karma. Not that you won't get another person but it won't be the same quality. If the first one truly loves you the next one sent by Karma won't. That's how it works.

What the Bleep are you talking about? I don't even express interest in girls of other races because I don't see a future with them and I have explained why.

And you are talking about courting karma? You can't be serious. Everybody has what their preferences is.

You better remove the karma fantasy from your brain cus it doesn't exist. If it did, all the terrible people in world wouldn't be living great lives but they are.

Young men these days still believe in love? grin grin What you have is hypergamical transaction in place. If you had say a US passport, those Nigerian ladies who declined your interest will swoon over you.

As it is, you bring nothing to the table. That is the truth. In fact, you don't have a table.

And a major reason she will accept your interest is because you reside in Canada. That is the hypergamy in relationships. You need to understand the world for what it is rather than what you think it should be.

You are so obsessed with "hypergamy".

Every woman is hypergamous whether here or in Nigeria. Every woman wants a man that is doing well and can take care of them when need be.

So what you're saying doesn't matter.

Again, I repeat, you don't have a table. If you like hit on your head against the wall in Canada, those Nigerian girls with Canadian residency would not look at your face. You might even be lucky with black ladies who were born and bred there, but with first-generation Nigerian girls wey sabi the A - Z of how Nigerian men behave? What do you want to tell her that she does not know?

You claim to know that women need good life, but here you are lamenting that Nigerian girls are not interested in you. Like I do write on Nairaland, na Bolu and Amaka una go return to marry. grin

Which one would you prefer?. Live lavishly to impress people through fraud and be disgraced or bankrupted during your old age or even on the last day of your life or suffer for a long time and be vindicated at the tail end with a glorious ending. It is always one of the two. The only difference is the length of the pain or length of the enjoyment period. Which do you prefer?. A good ending or bad ending?. You can't have both and it is the one you work for you will have

When going into any kind of partnership, what you need is value and it means what the partnership needs that you have. It is not always money. Not everything is money, some people don't need more money than they already have and there have been people who turned down opportunities to make money. There are people that chose austerity over prosperity including both men and women. There are many things on offer outside money especially when poverty is not the problem of the intending partners

Delete that illusion of "love" from your mentality because unfortunately that's the way the world operates.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of Nigerian women in Canada, he is currently poor as he does not have a job. I don't know why you people are running away from reality. This dude is unemployed. In Nigeria, the same calibre of women will not touch him with a pole, then he expects them to do the same in Canada? C'mon! Values come after the economics have been settled, not before. It is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

If he gets a job with Google tomorrow, those same ladies will give him an audience even though he has a Nigerian passport. That is how relationships have worked for donkey years. My issue is that he refuses to accept this FACT. Now, he believes his best chances are with women in Nigeria, which is true. But largely because he is based in Canada. Meanwhile, in same Nigeria, there are men like him who have not been given an audience by the same women who he (OP) will target.

H for HYPERGAMY. Why is this too difficult to accept? Tell me, what does this man bring to the table? Mind you, we are talking about Nigerian women who were BORN and BRED in Nigeria, not those who were born and bred in Canada. These women know Nigerian men better than other women. So, what the heck is he bringing to the table? I love you, oya, talk your own?

It sounds unfair to men just starting life, but that is life, it has never been fair.

You need a stable source of income surely and there is nobody without a source of income else they would die but there are women who would take you as you are and there are women who would never marry you no matter how much money you have. Honour, value are better than cash. Money is highest value for some not even for most. Some want to marry into a good family, some want a well educated man, some want a caring, intelligent, handsome etc and of course what you lack or like should be part of what you are seeking for in a partner. Some women will lose interest in you immediately they know you are sneaking out to sleep with other women, they have their reasons, some others will stay. Bottom line is we are all looking for the best according to our own standards but you can only pick from those you have access to. Money is a very serious consideration only to poor people who lack money

I don't even understand your claim.

Money is number one most people look at, honour or value will now later come into play.

Everybody wants a comfortable life, so there's nothing like real love if money is not involved.

Money is the oga patapata of them all both home and abroad, rich or poor.

I wish we understand that when it comes to homo sapiens, it's not often black and/or white, there is a big grey area.

While we are shaped by nature, yes even in the 21st century, the female DNA is honed to go after the best provider, for her and her progeny. Yet, we are intelligent beings and therefore economic, ethnic and societal norms and shifts come into play...

All in all, try shine your eye when it comes to people.
Everyone above has made poignant points, no one is entirely right as well as totally wrong.

If your daughter wants to marry a rich man, you would want to know what the source of income is. For instance not every family can agree that their daughter marry a yahoo boy.
