Socializing Tips For Those Living Abroad. by ProphetJeroboam: 5:53pm On Jun 08, 2021
The purpose of creating this thread is to give people who succeeded in leaving Nigeria to other countries the chance to share some dating and socialization tips and for those who are interested in traveling out some day, you can read and gain information from this thread. Socialization is a basic human method of navigating and surviving their environments. Drop stories and tips, whatever useful tips along with the country you’re currently residing in. Also provide answers to questions like, would it be better to go for the local citizens or other foreigners as regard relationships. All forms of socializations are welcomed including marriages, friends, business partners and booty calls grin .

I have been in Ukraine for 4 months now and I must say it has been a little challenging for me in the aspect of socialization mostly due to the fact that I am not fluent in the Ukrainian language. The local Ukrainian girls here are pretty and always well dressed but I don’t know how well they react to black guys so I have been quite timid to dive into that water yet. The Africans here especially Nigerians all seem a bit closed up and introverted and are mostly active on Twitter and Instagram but don’t seem eager to hang out with their fellow Nigerians in real life. The other nationalities like the Arabs and Indians seem to have formed a pack and you’ll always see them in groups hanging out together. Maybe I suck at socializing but I would like to hear you from you guys. I hope we can keep this thread alive so others can learn from it.

NB: This thread was created for fun and to share knowledge so no holier than thou or sadists are welcome.

Learn the language to an intermediate level... that's the only way. No matter how handsome you are, you would still need to communicate verbally.

Ladies swiping your right depends heavily on how attractive you look in your photos and not your ability (or inability) to speak the language.

I suggest you change the topic to “Socialising” tips, rather than dating. Not sure any of those men and women you tagged up there is still in the dating game grin

Well, it is usually awkward meeting them face to face on the street as you can end up with a minor. Good thing most of them will let you know they're minors whilst other wouldn't for the fun of it. I would advise against meeting any girl on the street unless your university environment, even at that, one has to be careful and walk away when they tell you they don't want to talk to you.


The best place is using Instagram to actually meet ladies but be rest assured you can't wife anyone you got from the street (Instagram) cause the street she will return, do not be weary.


If you are looking for more serious thing, go to your university library and hook up with the girls there... For those girls, academically inclined and are homely.

If you are looking for the career minded fellas, look for the spa/bar around you (not club) and hook up with the ladies there... You should be there 8pm and above.




But I am not in the dating thing. Make I first find my feet as I can not see my legs.

I learnt that ladies in these western countries have no problem approaching or asking a guy out. In order to avoid embarrassment or insult, is it advisable to wait for a woman to make the first approach when in public places like spa or library?

I agree with everything you’ve written and I’ll try to work with it too. With the whites you can’t tell the minor amongst the young adults and most of the girls I see are mostly tik-tok girls, their age screams 14-16. Reminds me of the guy in the UK caught trying to groom a minor. Very funny video. Thanks for replying. I pray your hustle works out for you.

Bro, from what I can tell, what you heard is not true. How many guys can come here and say a white girl has shown interest in them? In general, women like to be chased and the western women love it more.

White girls have shown interest in me. Like they even made approach... But they were underaged. I didn't take them up on their offer. I didn't even go near them.
