As a Kenyan married to an Ethiopian, I sincerely doubt if Ethiopian families would discriminate against white or black person marrying their daughter. From my own experience, just like in any other nationalities, Ethiopians do marry outside their own as long as the person marrying them is a nice person. The only thing though that must be observed at all times is respect for the parents and the elderly people in Ethiopia. As for their food and culture, nobody forces you to accept but even without being conscious of it, you will adopt and embrace it as a foreigner unless you are a very hard headed person. In my house it is me who cooks the Ethiopian food because I love cooking and my wife showed me how to cook it when we got married and ever since, it’s me who cooks it willingly. Our kids loves both Kenyan and Ethiopian cultures even though we live in England. Yes, I totally agree that Ethiopians date to marry, they don’t do joy riding at all. If an Ethiopian woman loves you, nothing else matters to them and they will be more than ready to breakaway from anyone who may be opposed to their choice including their parents if need be. As for the forceful conversion to Orthodox, I think this has become an outdated practice unless there’s something else that I don’t know.
Religion is the most important thing when it comes to marriage in Ethiopia and by religion I mean Orthodox Christianity for most Amhara and Tigray people. Never forget that, modernity and secularism are new thing in Ethiopia. This country was a Christian empire from the fourth century till 1974 and was never colonized and strictly traditional to this day. That said you may find some open-minded newer generations
This is the strenght of Ethiopians, they like and are very proud of their culture and language. Society standards are not about imitating western lifestyle/language as we do in Rwanda. Keep it up. Would like to learn a little bit of your culture, next time try to share with us a little bit of your culture please, for eg in the video you can show how you prepared that essence, when is it used, etc.. tell us more about your culture of giving someone food with hands, etc... Salem.
I'm Rwandan but whenever i meet Ethiopians i also become Ethiopian my first time to meet them i was shocked, Rwandans indeed we have blood connection with Ethiopians
Dating leads to marriage. We don’t date outside of our culture because in our culture we always take care each other for rest of our life. We don’t bail on one another because other person is all used up. In most cultures when you’re old they will throw you in to nursing home or left you alone to struggle. In Ethiopian culture this is very unlikely. When we’re young and energetic everyone wants to be with us. When we get older the circle gets smaller and we have to plan accordingly.
I am a Ghanaian American, and I decided a long time ago to make an Ethiopian woman my wife, and to raise my future children in east or southern africa.
@howtotieatie5845 Nope, self-lover. I am very proud of myself, my family, my people, and my culture. Loving another woman more doesn't mean I hate myself or my own, I just love another woman more. The world is not black and white one or the other, 2 things can be true at once. I love Ghanaian women and ethiopian women, I just love an Ethiopian woman more. Please don't let people fool you into thinking that valuing your best option means you hate another.
I love how Ethiopia is very cultured and proud of their unique culture. I have never seen Ethiopians on dating sites. The world is changing very fast and using dating sites to find that special person. Do Ethiopians use dating sites and which ones?
I'm from Canada and i yessss Habeshas like dating foreigners... i've dated alot nice ladies... and even one lady i lived with her for over a year in addis.. even she want children :) like every culture some do and some dont.. if your kind hearted they do! some told me even that they like white guys... its noy myth I mean?? i've experienced it :)) and even my best friend who is a habesha manager.. was amazed how many Habeshas actually pursued me... even i was amazed and i always treat ladies like a Queen... i took sometime to Dubai Singapore phillipines.. with my Habesha ladies :). entoto camping a must too and abraminch. im luckiest guy on earth hahaha :)

Crazy to think that a Christian or Muslim Ethiopians would much rather be w some other group than each other just bc of their religious differences. Even if they're from different tribes they're still closely related genetically, but religion causes this huge rift. However, Ethiopian women, particularly from the diaspora would much rather date non-Ethiopians regardless of religion. Goes to show that it probably isn't the religion, but more so the societal safety net the religion provides.
Where did you hear that. Look around your Ethiopian women and men almost never marry outside in the diaspora unless they are born in USA and still those born in USA prefer Ethiopian.
@@saragirma6577 I disagree Ethiopian women have been moving crazy as of late. I personally know several who have had trains ran on them by non-Ethiopians, primarily African Amercans or west African men given this current Afrobeat craze and a new found notion that they come from money. This isnt made up, this is confirmed. They then try to come back to their respective Ethiopian men to try and get married. That's disgusting. Before west Africans it was light skins that looked like Chris Brown, it's not about this new found "blackness", Ethiopians especially the women, used to be the biggest colorists, it's really about what's popular and where is the money. That will change again depending on where the ball ends up next, but as Ethiopian men I think you need to know what you're dealing with (or shouldn't be dealing with) moving foward. Culture doesn't mean anything if there isn't any respect and you're treated like some kind of a cuck, and those aren't your women if they've been for the world and only come back to you for marriage. That's the truth.

Why can't people just admire their beautiful culture from a far? Since, especially the west, has so much divorce and other problems. Among other black populations we struggle with self acceptance, which affects how you view the opposite sex. I'm sure Ethiopia is not perfect, but they seem more cohesive.
The truth is that dating itself is seen as bad in Ethiopian culture. An Ethiopian woman dating a foreigner, let alone another Ethiopian, can negatively affect her marriage prospects among Ethiopians. However, from what I've noticed, most of the women who marry outside their culture or race are usually living in Addis and are neither Muslim nor Orthodox. It's mostly women of the Pentecostal religion they are more accepting of it.
