Ghanaian men...

Most of us females have quickly caught onto the fact that Ghanaian men are more forward about their feelings than American men... All of us women have had awkward encounters with random guys cat-calling to us, asking for our email addresses and phone numbers, and even occasionally grabbing us (which is definitely crossing the line as far as I'm concerned). I feel relatively safe because I seem to only attract the kind of men that ask for my contact info... which I had decided (after giving it out once) not to give out to anyone ever again. However, while sitting at Afronet a few days ago, I had a guy approach me and ask me for my email address--and since I was checking my email it was difficult to lie and say I didn't have email, so I gave him the email address (which may or may not have been a good idea).
I have since decided to henceforth give out my email address freely just to get a kick out of reading the ridiculous emails I receive from these guys... I have also decided to post these emails (or at least the really funny ones) just to give you all a little cultural experience, a taste of the specimen of men at the University of Ghana (many of them are nice though...) so here goes, happy reading:
