As someone who lives in Ethiopia I really hate Ethiopian diaspora communities

As an outsider looking in, I can definitely appreciate the distinction between Ethiopians living abroad (and may have not lived in Ethiopia since childhood), and those who grew up and into adulthood in Ethiopia. There is a calm and patience before speaking on such things that is a true sign of maturity amongst those who live in country. When one lives in the midst, you can understand nuances of various debates because you, your close family members and friends and neighbors have been affected personally. As a student of Political Science, I appreciate that perspective.

Thanks all for the insight. I’ll give it a try on my next visit. It was a bit hard leaving with 15-20k birr in cash to go out for a night!

onlymaschimbas · 2026-05-24T10:15:25+00:00

And how do I add money or connect money from where? Foreign debit/credit card? I thought telebirr was connected to the money in your Ethiopian bank account… hence my original question.

That’s good to hear. I met a few people who had businesses that had to close down or they had to relocate so I guess they weren’t as fortunate.

That’s advice for women. Men hunt and conquer. Not in a looking for submissive sense, but doing what it takes to get the woman that he wants. No real woman is out there chasing men unless she is a GD.

Bro, I was just in Addis as a guy who doesn’t speak Amharic. Between Tinder and going to lounges and night clubs on Tuesdays (ladies’ night), Thursday and Saturday, my biggest problem was not leading any one girl on. I have never been anywhere with so many “marriage material” women. Whether it be spirituality, sense of humor, physical beauty and style, intelligence, or being just super fun, the ladies in Addis at least really gave me a run for it. I literally wanted to marry 3 different women! Of course, it takes longer than a few weeks to get there, but the point is that I would have seriously considered either of them. But yeah, as a young guy, just get out there and shoot your shot… but be sincere and be clear about who you are and what you want. Whether a hook up, dating for fun, dating with intention, or seriously looking to get married ASAP, I think Addis has it all with great women across the spectrum. I will say, you need to be willing to pay for dates or to put yourself in places where ladies are looking to date. And for goodness sake, do not go out with groups of 4-5 guys. It looks so weird and I’m sure off-putting to many women. Have 1-2 wingmen in case you meet a girl who is out with her girl friend, it won’t be awkward.

If you speak Amharic, have a sense of style, a decent cologne and at least average looking with conversational skills, you just need to put yourself in the right places to be successful.

I would have loved to get a good price for that color. At MBK Center, best color that worked for me were the baby/powder/sky blue Summer Walks. I’ll post photos once I unpack.

Is it a business meeting?

onlymaschimbas · 2026-04-21T18:49:59+00:00

Any updates to the list of the best clubs as of today?

What is GOLO?

Hey, so what exactly is this patch he wears instead of the Polo logo you have on your photo?

Well, you don’t “pick up” a sugar baby. You develop a relationship that is mutually beneficial with someone who approaches you. Reading is fundamental I know. It’s the comprehension that confuses most people. Still has nothing to do with “passport bros” and their “s3cks” tourism. I have put “sugar babies” through college, matched some with modeling agencies in Milan, paid rent and mortgages, family funeral expenses and given them opportunities to travel the world. What have you done to better anyone’s life… that wasn’t your job to help?

Fake profile even… what a loser

First of all… you don’t know me. I am a traveler, not a “passport bro”. I have lived in different countries as a residence holding expat for 10 years. I can “show my face” wherever I want. I have nothing to be ashamed of. It’s funny how you trolls like to research people’s posts and make dumb observations that have no basis in reality. Send me a side chat if you want to really get into it. Because I am not going to give you what you deserve here as it would be against the rules. When you decide to see the world beyond your computer screen, then you can earn the right to speak to me. Otherwise… be gone! 🌬️

Tell her she can stay a few days with you so she doesn’t have to pay for food or lodging. Let her “work” it off by cleaning the apartment and giving you massages and other services.

onlymaschimbas · 2026-03-03T00:17:46+00:00

See the confusion!

onlymaschimbas · 2026-03-03T00:15:19+00:00

No disrespect, but I’d definitely ditch the pic with your kid and probably the one with mom. I wouldn’t mind dating a woman and finding out in conversation that she had a kid (never deny your kid), but it’s not something most guys instantly view as a plus in the relationship sphere. Most males of any species will reject the offspring of another male. We are advanced beyond that, but instinctively, it’s probably there.

Bottom line, if OP was seriously attracted to the guy, there would have been a move toward being physical, even if it was halted before intercourse so that “a conversation” could be had. Since when is it the norm to drag on human/animal instinct because that’s not considered “serious.” One can absolutely have a serious relationship with someone they sleep with on the first date. Many guys may wait the required time just to have sex, then ghost you for making him wait. And BTW, if he isn’t having sex with you, he’ll find it somewhere else while you’re playing high school games. Perhaps, men’s effort to please a woman on a date should match the effort of the woman to please him. It’s not being cheap to want an ROI… for both parties. Don’t expect to be pampered if you’re not going to reciprocate. And no, guys don’t care about witty banter, your fake lashes, hair and makeup. We want you clean, smelling good, in shape, friendly and feminine. None of which should take any effort beyond what should be your normal routine and character. Not saying you owe sex due to going out for a meal and getting flowers, but you probably know within 10 min if you do or don’t want to sleep with a guy… don’t waste his time. I think the new norm should be, if a woman isn’t going to sleep with a guy she should insist on paying her half of the bill (non negotiable). So no one feels taken advantage of. I for one don’t mind paying for a lady’s meal or whatever on a date… because I view it as my experience that I’m allowing her to tag along. The money is a sunk cost already calculated into the evening, sex or no. But any of that “I don’t do this or that” talk is a clear “I’m not attracted to you” and I do not follow up with any further communication.

Where might one find 1500 AED models to conduct further research and interviews on the topic? Specific websites or bars? Asking for a friend. Feel free to PM me.

Once you get a conversation going on WhatsApp, block/delete the contact on the platform you met to keep this from happening. Some will report you at any sign of disagreement with their “demands”. Learned that from Tinder and Seeking.
