Thanks to all of you who have given mature responses. Maybe i do need to expand my dating sphere to include other tribes...i just love my yoruba boys tongue

To those of you that made comments about "desperation" i am not desperate, frustration is a more apt description of how i feel.

Back to work for me, y'all have a nice day!

Absolutely nothing wrong with having preferences. In this day of age and the lower probability involved in getting a naija/yoruba/christian/financially able man that ticks all your boxes, I would advice you rate what characteristics are important using a thorough analysis of why good relationships/marriages last the test of times.

Good luck

desari: Nairalanders,

I am a career woman in my late 20's living in the U.S. It has been almost impossible for me to meet good Nigerian men much less Nigerian men at my financial level. As you all know the U.S is very big; i generally don't hang out with Nigerians..not that i don't want to, i just don't know where and how to go about meeting up with my people. When i do go out to naija lounges or clubs in my area, all i find are little kids playing around or 419ers( which i would rather remain single than have anything to do with them). I have tried the church avenue, but i am catholic, and catholic churches in the U.S are much different from naija catholic churches. I live in NYC, so anyone that can give me pointers on where to meet eligible professional Naija men would be great.

I have been very blessed and fortunate in my chosen career, and i would want a partner that can pull his own weight financially in a relationship. Though i have accepted that i would most likely do much better than a potential partner, i can never respect a man that would find it hard to give me money to cook food in the house and take care of some bills, instead of assuming i will take care of it since i make much more. Akatas and white men chase me all day, but i would rather settle down with a Nigerian man(preferably yoruba) i am half yoruba and half something elsesmiley I grew up in naija, so i speak yoruba and can cook naija food well well.

Let me add that i am well mannered and come from a great family. Guys and girls, if you have single brothers who are financially stable, between 29 and 35 years old looking to settle down, please IM me. Thanks!

send a private message to a NLder 'Dayokanu" both of you share the same dreams....he lives in Texas, he might just be the "groundnut in your gari" and you can visit texas or atlanta over the weekend, i hear there are more Nigerians' in those States.

Dear Desari,
In today's dating market, financial equality creed plays ZERO part in things, and finding that special love of one's life is entirely based on mutual attraction. Because if your dating mind-set was the case across the board, well the dating portfolio would be screwed (forgive me for employing financial jargons to drive home my point)

That a guy is yet to have a financial breakthrough is not a good reason to superficially rule him out, as a matter of fact, any guy with less income that hasn't at sometime been so frustrated with his condition to the point of wanting to throw a chair through a wall is full of crap, some folks have just been so unlucky in life despite all efforts. Different people, different experiences - life doesn't work the same for everyone for a multitude of reasons. One person's utopia is anothers hell and all that. Am sorry to say that what you define as your level of financial acceptance looks shallow to me, especially if you end of meeting young, hardworking and honest Nigerian guys in NYC who are new migrants struggling to climb same financial ladder you are looking down from now (how long did it take you to become financially insulated). I know its your opinion and am not upset by it, i am only trying to help my yoruba sista probably misguided about how life is generally.

Indeed one wonders if you yourself understand what the phrase "Financial Level" means when you ineptly try to misuse it to dismiss the points which show your statement to be ill-informed. Indeed it seems that your display of financial ability needs to be evaluated, until then you will most likely later realize that you fall short of what others see as financially allowable.

You are entitled to your financial opinions of course, no matter how silly and vacuous they are, however most people maintain an ability to resist the urge to spew out the first thing that comes into their heads, and instead employ their analytical ability to determine the likely veracity of your own financial capability.

If you continue to harp so much on finance rather than quality and personality, am sorry you may never find that Nigerian model of a guy you seek.

It takes a smart and intelligent sista to identify the right broda even when he is not wearing a good toga of finance

@desari

Do your Catholic beliefs prevent you from using with your Yoruba tribal customs of seeing a babalawo to consult with Ifa? Orunmila or Oshun may bring some guidance to your relationship predicament in the west.


"I am going based off a past relationship, where this bobo wanted me to take care of all things financial...needless to say i had to kick him to the curb. I find it hard to respect such men."

You may have compromised your reputation in the NYC 9ja community. Word gets around fast that you commingled with a small boy.

You have to answer that question asked earlier, "How much are you worth"?
You may realise that you have over-rated yourself.
Btw, you need to come down from that tower of babel of yours, if you want to get married.

@OP,

Unless your financial net worth is at least quarter a million for a start, honey, like someone said, get down from your tower of bable and face reality. Perhaps, you're still in lala's worlds, you need to enter reality.

Re: Why Is It Almost Impossible To Meet Nigerian Men At My Financial Level? by Nobody: 7:38pm On Jul 06, 2012
That's why the concepts of 'career woman' and 'wife material' are often antithetical. Some of these so-called 'driven' modern women overreach themselves in trying to be 'career women', and at the end of the day, they cry that they can't find eligible men at their financial level or higher. I guess it's wiser, therefore, for an upwardly mobile girl to find a husband first before she starts climbing too high in her career. Otherwise she might eventually have to settle for the option of marrying her career and finding one lowlife to father a child for her to become a single mother.

From the way most women moan all over the place, they find more validation and fulfilment in marriage than anything else; it's almost as if financial independence and a successful career is empty and meaningless without a husband and children. One then wonders why some of them try too hard too early on (before they marry) with their so-called careers.
