Why are Western girls in love with Jamaican men?

Why are Western girls in love with Jamaican men?

Western women love Jamaican men and there are more and more marriages from these unions nowadays. Why is this so? What is it about Jamaicans that attract these Westerners?

Let’s try to answer this question with a few real love stories first.

Kristen & Samuel

In Kristen’s words: “The first time I met Samuel was at a party which was well underway when a tall, smiling man wearing a red sweatshirt walked in and seemed to be extremely popular as lots of people congregated around him. It was this sudden commotion that caught my attention and made me wander over in that direction. Being my friend’s guest from out of town I was called over to meet the handsome stranger, who oozed confidence and was so warm and friendly. He greeted me with a lovely smile and gave me a good, firm handshake. I think you can tell a lot about a person from their handshake, don’t you?”

Monika & Wyclef

“Frankly, if someone had told me 10 years ago when I was living the party girl lifestyle in London that a decade later I’d be a teetotal vegan, I simply wouldn’t have believed them,” said Monika. “I first saw him about a year ago I just knew we were going to get married.”

Sandy & Jerome

Sandy and Jerome met in Canada while they were studying. “When I met Jerome, I was not attracted instantly. But the more I learned about his spirituality and religion and also his strong personality, I fell in love gradually.”

Laura & Kamau

Laura is English and Kamau is Jamaican. They´re currently living in London. Laura is a registered pharmacist and Kamau is a consultant mechanical engineer. In Laura’s words: “We fell in love instantly! We met online, not via a dating agency but on a

Jamaican dating site called JamaicanDating.com. I was already interested in dating a Jamaican guy, as I really admired their traditions.”

What attracts Western women to Jamaican men?

Usually these Jamaican men have:

– Family values

– Strong spirituality and self-development traits

– Popularity and authority

– Trustworthiness and comfort-giving skills

– Good bodies.

A comparison of Jamaican men with other nationalities: some facts

World Singles Group conducted research and asked hundreds of female members of ethnic dating sites about their perception of men from each ethnicity. For Jamaicans, 42 per cent went for personality; 20 percent for culture, religion and spirituality; 30 per cent for looks; and eight percent for money. Jamaica was in the top position for personality.
