What's up with all the foreign men? DOn't get me wrong I have no problems with foreign guys, but ever since I have posted my profile on Yahoo... I have been "approached" by like 5-6 foreign men from Africa. Now I love me a dark skinned brother, but these guys are seriously immature and "in love" with me just from IMing a few days... It has me concerned.. Anyone else with this problem? Or if it's not a problem... anyone else experienced this?

They're not "in love" with you - a lot of them (I'm sorry to say) are from Nigeria or other poor countries and they're hoping to find a hapless woman to A. cash checks for them that turn out to be no good, B. send them money or C. marry them to get them out of the poor country. It happens a lot. There was one poster on this board a while back who was "engaged" to a man in Nigeria (who she'd been sending money to) she had not even met. It's sad, but there are lonely women (and men) who fall for these scams, unfortunately.

Oh, I haven't fallen for these scams. I was just curious as to why there are so many. Believe me wether a man is american or foreign, if he says I love you that early on, it's a turn off.
