#3: (Sometimes) Wondering Why a Brotha didn't Pick u

This is supposed to be for fun, remember, if you end up frowning, shame on you! LoL

Here goes #3 on the list.

It used to be that we used to see some of our Nyasaland Men (NM) marrying outside the country. Even as far away as Europe, Asia, and America. The NM standard then was a sound college education post-grad being a preference, well-spoken in the Queen's language, and good dress sense. I was born in the old capital and that's still a University town so I know what I'm talking about.

These days it's not just the "successful". All NM's have their choice, whether to marry an NW or an NNW (Non-Nyasaland Woman). How do we NW's react? It varies by and large. Some get angry as they feel NNW's set too high a standard and the competition is unfair. Some adopt an inferiority complex. Some start to do the same and start to only date NNM's. Chill ladies, it's a free world!

How do I react? I've learned that people will marry who they will and for whatever motives, good or bad. NW's who will you marry and why? How do you regard yourself as a human being? Don't let it be dictated by complexes ma'am! I think there is an advantage to these brotha's marrying abroad - it helps us learn about ourselves. Who are WE?
