Ethiopian women are beautiful and that has been true since the invention of sand.

Her, Ethiopian girl, beauty is not only her big eyes, exotic hair and slender body but also her shyness.

Ethiopia is one of those conservative countries you will find on earth. The country is home to the two biggest religions of the world - christinity and islam.

An Ethiopian girl born and raised in both religions share pretty much the same kind of conservativeness.

But, let her shyness fool you not and think she will do whatever you like her to do. Don't ever assume her shyness with naiveness and try to take advantage of her - you will lose.

The shyness or being reserved is more of the culture of Ethiopia. Most children are raised to listen than to speak especially before the elders and guests.

Especially girls are raised to be more respectful to their family and relatives. To know their cultural food and housekeeping methodologies since childhood. That is why you will find an Ethiopian woman to be loyal and a very good wife throughout.

What to know -do- before dating Ethiopian Women?

Keeping the above points as they are, Ethiopian women might take the relationshiop a bit low profile until you prove to be the right one.

Remember, they are conservative and think about their families and relatives ahead. So, don't be surprised if she didn't introduce you to her family or relatives within short period of time.

You might ask why. It goes back to the culture of Ethiopia and how she is raised. Basically, being with men, especially different, is a a big frown upon and she doesn't want that to happen.

That is changing these days of course. Families are getting more into approving relationships and encouraging to have a good relationship while watching herself.

But it is not for every family. Chances are high that you might find Habeshan woman that is from a conservative family.

Another thing is, wait for the right time before you make any moves. I know this is applicable for any girl. But with Ethiopian women, this could be a make or break. Make sure she is more comfortable with you before a single and simple kiss - yeah I know..

During your early dating days, unless it comes from her, don't take her out to Ethiopian Restaurants especially the one near to where she lives. Take her out to other restaurants.


If you happen to be a non-ethiopian guy, chances are high to please her if you catch a few words in her language. There are lots of languages in Ethiopia. The national language this time is Amharic.

If you show some effort to throw some words in her language, it will flatter her out. Also, try to pick some videos from youtube that you like the melody of and ask her what that is saying or if that is her favorite. The more you lean to the culture of hers, the more you would make sure she would be yours.

Do Ethiopian Women Date Non Ethiopian Men?

It was not that common a couple of years ago. These days Ethiopian women are seen to be a happily wives of lucky non Ethiopian husbands.

After all, the main issue with inter-racial marriage is a misunderstanding of cultures. That was the main problem in the earlier days. Today, with the advent of social media, movies, books, travels, tv shows and whatnot, Ethiopian women are well aware of other cultures and others are also aware of Ethiopian culture.

So, yes, they do date and eventually marry non Ethiopian husbands as long as they find them to be good ones. Once you marry them, it is assured in most cases that they will be a very good wives.
