One thing that we all know for sure is that this your write up applies to you and NOT every black person. DrAkpa: |

From all your write ups, my conclusion is you are a big failure when it comes to making friends with (and dating) non-Nigerians and rather than accept that the problem has to do with you, you are doing your best in trying to force everyone to believe and accept that it cannot be done because white people are so terrible. Accept your failure to integrate properly in your environment. Solatium: |

Gallant men of self confidence, don't let anybody tells you, you can't do it. Nobody has ever done it. You can't achieve it. People limit themselves even before trying. Whatever you believe in, never let anyone with little faith tells you, you cannot. Those are people that believe in failures. They believe once another person fail, others will fail too. They will tell you how their friends and unknown uncles , sisters and brothers were unable to achieve something, hence nobody else can achieve it because others had failed to do that. They will try to convince you how you can't do it because others had failed in same attempts. Just know yourself and believe in yourself. Some persons are just borned to accept failures in life. But don't be one of them. When you fail once, make another attempt. Keep making attempts until you get it right. This applies to all areas of one's life. In your business, in your education, and in your day to day life. Don't give room for failure and the sport of I can't. Let your I can be more than your I can't. |

Exactly. I mean in a city of over 300,000 people, some Nigerians would still complain that it is impossible to get just 3 - 5 people to be friends with or one or two women to date? Haba! Instead of them to say they don't have the energy to put into learning about socializing and going out to meet people (while getting rejections) they keep blaming white race, culture, civilizations, pets, governments, rats, cockroaches... anything and everything but themselves.

lefulefu:Can you see what is in your head? It is all about pussy for you. Read all my comments and show me where I talked about dating. Guys like you cannot think beyond your IQ unfortunately hence the problem you are having. I understand your problem. It was your friend Randy91 that came here talking about gbola and pussy which I chided him for as my first post on this thread and you were the one discussing it with him. People were talking about the general feeling of strangeness and loneliness and how hard it is to make meaningful and lasting friendships and relationships with strangers in Europe or Canada or America compared to very social and familiar places like Nigeria and this obtuse Neanderthal is talking about pussy. A man cannot think beyond the limits of his mental handicap. Keep thinking this discussion is about sex because that is the only thing your brain is capable of processing. Typical unevolved clowns on a Nairaland page. I should have known better than to think this discussion will be any meaningful. @neurosci Thanks for your patience in discussing with this ignorant people. From all the responses from people with first hand experiences, you are accurate. Let all these other guys with no experience keep thinking they have the special sauce that no one else has. It is good to deceive oneself sometimes. |

MantisShrimp:The Neanderthal gene is only common with caucasian and asian race and not with blacks so stop using words you have no clue about Some of you here were crying about not being able to get a white girlfriend while some like you were also crying about whites refusing to make friends with them Do you know what i think you are? I think you are a young man who has very deep inferiority complex you desperate want of acceptance amongst whites speaks volume of it ![]() |

That's ok. Speak for yourself. And don't expect everyone to live up or down to your own expectations. 79733139: |

Mcslize:Get your head out of youtube. Try living in the real world. Once you get abroad you'd perform wonders! Forget abroad, what have you achieved in Nigeria. It is people just like you that are millionaires. Here you are, Nairaland phone tiger, mr. gallant! |

79733139:I remembered my first day in America, eight years ago, a girl walking in opposite direction on the sidewalk smiled at me. I was 100% certain she was flirting. Next day, two other random girls did this. At the end of my first month, scores of girls must smiled at me. Then it hits me that this is a norm here, I didn't just get the cultural reference at the beginning. This is true for midwest and southern states, but people in north-western and north-eastern states are the exact opposite: extremely unfriendly folks. Now, those folks smiling at you may never invite you to cookouts and their voting pattern suggests they don't want you around. Even some endearing words like "bless your heart" these southerners use may have some negative connotations, you have to have lived there a long time to get the cultural reference. Some Christians may befriend you as a way of proselytizing, but don't get it twisted, you're just a project not a brother. It could be lonely for the outgoing types, but for some of us, we enjoy our own company. |

PhillyA:My first day in America, right at the airport in New York, there was this lady who just kept smiling at me. It was barely an hour since I arrived. I was too sure she knew me from somewhere, but I was wondering where that could be since I had just barely arrived. So, I kept staring at her and she kept smiling. The more I stared, the more she smiled. That night, I flew to Colorado where that scenario would recur multiple times. Initially, my impression was that people were extremely friendly here, since I had never been in a place where people would just smile at strangers after an eye-contact. Frown at them and they would still smile at you. I lived in the midwest, close to Canada, where the smiling habit is the norm. Drivers on the road who know you from nowhere will smile and wave at you. I never saw someone frown their face, ever! It took a while to get used to. These same people would go on to vote for Donald Trump, so I know they don't really like us or want us there - the smile is just their way of life. I've lived on the west coast and east coast since then, and I can tell a few changes. I'm traveling to the south for the first time by the end of this month, so I'm looking forward to what the experience over there would look like. |

neurosci:Even Americans who moved to new cities are lonely. As an example, type the question "Did you regret moving to Portland?" in Quora and read through all the answers. I'm certain the answer wouldn't change much if you replace Portland with Seattle, New York or LA. America is the richest country on earth, yet many are homeless, and many sell their homes to pay for cancer treatment. Why do y'all think these contradictions happen? So because you can toast some girls in Nigeria you'll not be lonely here. Lol |

Human abilities are different. Just because you cannot do something or you are not interested in learning doesn't mean it can't be done. Every lady I have had any thing do with I met as a stranger whom I had to walk up to and say hi. First hand experience my foot... some of these guys are overweight, poorly dressed guys with zero social skills who would even struggle to date a beautiful girl in Nigeria (except they spend a lot of money). Some of you guys are even scared stiff to approach ladies (who are strangers) in Nigeria. Heck some of these guys would go to a party and still be looking for someone to introduce them to a lady they like (because they are afraid)... that's how bad it is for some of you... NotGej: |
| Re: How Nigerians Abroad Complain About Loneliness Amazes Me by 79733139(m): 12:47pm On Mar 11, 2021 |
Accepted. In that comment, I assumed that both people are in the same room and the lady was continuously smiling. I didn't see it as a passing smile on the street. My whole point still circles on putting efforts to make yourself interesting, improving your appearance and putting yourself in places where you can meet people... rather than complain about race or culture. Sure, I enjoy my own company also but there are some limitations in always being alone (not lonely), I like having meaning relationships wherever I find myself in... so I always put effort in getting and sustaining them.

My brother, we will always idolise where we are not. Boredom in abroad is real. So real you go start to dey envy your guys back home. I was in Euless Dallas for a meeting and decided to relax for another 6 weeks, it's a white community and most of my guys dey fashe 8am to 9pm. The 2 months is the most boring period of my life. I almost called my airline to bring my return ticket forward. |

bigjackass:90% of what you see online is fake happiness. Most people will tell you that it's just for the gram, and would rather be at home chilling with the boys. Infact many don't like the food you even see online too and rather eat local meals. |

Let me assume you asked me that question. Because guys wouldn't stop approaching a lady even if she is in a relationship (she would still keep some as friends or "back-burners" just in case) so to keep the balance I will always approach and keep myself attractive to women. TheCongo2: |
