Greetings & welcome to my blog. My name is C Ann. I was born and raised in Atlanta, Ga and moved to Brooklyn, NY where I lived for 13 years before relocating to Buffalo, NY. I am an author, mother, and entrepreneur. Since I was around 14/15 years old, I began attending West African celebrations and events. I have befriended and dated many low & high-quality African men down throughout the years. I was married to a Senegalese man for 6 years and knew him for 10. I want to share with my American women the right ways to approach a man from that cool continent. On this blog, I will be sharing how to attract a quality African man that is not a scammer or "419". I will be sharing my hardcore experience down throughout the years. Be on the lookout for my new book "Tips on Dating an African Man" coming soon in the fall of 2019. Subscribe to this blog and follow me on social media. It would be awesome if you can

UNNOTICED HIGH-QUALITY AFRICAN MEN

Down throughout the years, I missed out on handsome, high-quality African men due to my pettiness. These men were clean, hardworking and had a heart of gold, but I ignored them due to crazy expectations and stupidity.

Not every high-quality African man drives a fancy car or has a six-figure job. There are men who have a heart of gold and would do what it takes to make a woman of quality theirs. The reason why I say they are "hidden" is that some women ignore or pass them up because they aren't filthy rich or have a certain appeal.

I am not encouraging you to settle at all. I want to help you see that there are quality African men out there that will not play with your heart or run games. These men could currently in college, working a blue-collar job or running a small business. These men have aspirations and will be very successful one day but right now they building the blocks all by themselves. This is good because these men are putting things in motion without any help from any lady which means they are motivated to be awesome.

Now there is a lot of people talking about NOT being a fixer-upper woman to men and I am not telling you to do this. You should be a mountain woman to a man. In this write-up, I am simply pointing out hidden high-quality men who are quietly working towards future success. Below I will share several examples of high-quality men that I missed.

Info: I have never slept with these guys. I dated the most African guys when I was a virgin, until the age of 19 when I met my first son's father.

1st Quality African man I missed out on
I was 18 years old when my mentor told me to leave my no good Senegalese first son's father alone. He sat me down and told me about a Ghanian man that we both knew. He was very strong, and handsome and had a heart of gold. This man was renting a room from him and was in his final year of studying to be an engineer. This guy was single, extremely nice, had his papers, and we often ate together when I would visit my mentor. He rented this room to save money for a home once he finished grad school. I told my mentor I don't want to be with him or date him because I didn't think he was my type plus I hated the sandals he would wear. In the end, I missed out on this guy because of something petty.

My reflections/advice
I turned down this awesome guy to date my first son's father which was a big mistake. My first son's father had the swag and money but no love and compassion. He treated me horrible. Looking back I see where I went wrong.
Don't be so petty and naive like I was. Look at the heart and intentions of the guy and then weigh out everything else.


2nd Quality African man I missed out on
I was around 23 years old when I encountered this Nigerian man back in Brooklyn, New York. He was very intelligent and was a doctor. He had his act together and he was single for sure. However, I wasn't serious and picked out a...
