Are African Men As Romantic As Other Men?

Hey guys, so I had a friend come visit me some days ago and you know girls as usual we got into talking about guys. She told me that she recently just broke up with her boyfriend (African) and she started becoming close to this guy friend (not African) of hers. The friend invited her to his house. She ended up staying over for the night and he made her breakfast in bed the next morning. She was so shocked as no guy has ever done that for her. This got me thinking; one of the common most remarks African ladies make about African men is that they aren’t romantic whereas other men are known for their excessive romantic gestures.


Personally, I don’t think whether or not a guy is romantic depends on the person’s skin colour. Yes, our African men are known to have this “I’m a hard guy” persona. In fact it is almost considered unnatural for guys to do things like open doors, send flowers or show affection publicly.  I think most of this is due to our upbringings, if we are honest with ourselves most of our parents aren’t romantic towards each other. This is what most guys see and learn from. That is not to say we don't have romantic african men, of course we do but getting them is like finding a needle in a haystack. This is the 21st century, most ladies want a man who is ready to fly over the moon for them. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a man expressing himself and no, that doesn’t make him soft. In fact that makes him special, as he is man enough to do what’s required of him. So my dear readers I leave you with this question, are African men as romantic as others?
