Just curious I will be traveling soon to africa for a one-year break from my career. I am a single white Male from the United States and would be very interested in meeting a woman from West Africa. I'm thinking of volunteering in either Ghanna or Nigeria. I don't know if women in certain countries are more easily or more willing to date white western men. Any information from someone who has traveled to these areas would be greatly appreciated. I'm not looking for sex I'm looking to meet intelligent black women for a long-term relationship if the opportunity presents itself.
They are human individuals just like anywhere else. Having said that, Africans tend to be conservative and very family-oriented, similar to India. They are not exactly waiting for white foreigners trying to steal their daughters so to speak

I do not think you will have an issue at all. Just be very nice to her and her family and you'll be ok.
I doubt you will have much of an issue at all, although Ghanaian women tend to be more reserved and shy. If you're really serious about someone there you'll probably have to meet the family at some point. Although being a white guy I doubt you'll get much protest.
In Nigeria I guess it also depends on where you go. It is a huge country, you can all but forget about the Muslim northern half or so.
Ghana does not have those religious problems, it is a lot safer...

Given that that the majority of women in Ghana and Nigeria are Black, it stands to reason that you are likely to meet a women to have a long-term relationship with. You will be in entire countries filled with Black women.
Like anywhere in the third world, you will have no trouble meeting women who have an ulterior motive, who want a rich husband or a father for their children or a green card or the social prestige of being seen accompanied by a foreigner, or most of all, money. The difficulty will be sifting down through them all to find someone with whom you can have a genuine relationship.
Reference your trip, I would have a clear plan laid out before going. If you plan to volunteer, I would get that arranged well in advance. I would also be asking the people you are thinking about volunteering with these questions, as they will know the local population well. You might consider joining one of the penpal internet sites before you go, Interpal is one I've been on. There are many there that are just interested in friendships. If you were to chat with ladies from the area, they might be able to help you meet people after you arrive. I would express more of an interest in meeting females for friendship and not go into the part about hoping for a LTR. Solid relationships often form from friendships anyway. There are a couple interracial dating websites as well, they have people from the states as well as some from overseas. If you did find someone of interest in the area where you will be going, it would be a chance to get to know her better. It's just something else to think about if you have the time before you leave. Certainly there are those looking to use someone to get a green card, but the good thing is you will have a significant time to see them in their own day to day environment. It's much easier to con someone strictly via the internet or on a short vacation than when seeing them everyday. Ones natural personality is more likely to come out.
