It is important to note that some of the single ladies at the best clubs in Addis Ababa will be prostitutes. Expect to also see that in Kampala or most places on this continent as it is common in poorer countries all over the globe.

We will be covering the local hook up culture a bit more later.

Meet Addis Ababa Girls During The Day

Day game is never easy, and in a city like this one it can be pretty difficult to figure out. There are millions of people, poverty all around you, and lots of pick pockets or scammers out on the streets.

That means women in your area are going to be on high alert when out in public, a foreigner may not be as threatening but some may just not want to be bothered. In countries like this one most places are quite chaotic and grimy, but if you head to nice shopping malls where they will feel more at ease like:

• Morning Star
• Edna
• Lafto
• Dembel City
• Friendship City

Out and about in Bole or Piazza you will find some cafes and restaurants that can also be good places to try and pick up single Addis Ababa girls during the day, and overall they will feel safer anywhere in Bole and probably be more approachable.

Chat With Girls Online

In all walks of life technology is making things easier for us and online dating sites are no different. If you want to meet single girls near you then a dating site is one of the best ways to do it.

They speed up the process, and you can contact a ton of Addis Ababa women online on Afro Introductions very quickly. That is the top dating site in Africa and there are so many Ethiopian girls using it, many are looking for foreign men.

Tips For Tourists & Expats

Now we have some travel and dating tips for tourists or new expats who are trying to meet girls in Addis Ababa. As we have mentioned too many times already you really will want to stay in Bole where many of the best nightclubs are.

This will make your life easier, safer, and once you are here you will surely understand why we keep harping on it. It won’t be the cheapest area to find a room, but it is definitely worth it.

You get around 53 birr for every dollar at the time of our latest update, however that can change so confirm at this link if you want. We did not include many addresses here because in Africa street addresses are hard to come by, but we do have a clickable Google Map to help you figure things out.

The main thing for guys who are trying to date or hook up with Addis Ababa girls is to remember that this is a very poor country and jobs are hard to come by. That means many of these women will turn to prostitution, or if they aren’t full on prostitutes many will be gold diggers.

We aren’t saying every local Ethiopian woman is a hooker, of course that isn’t the case. However when a foreigner goes out to party in the Bole nightlife the type of sexy ladies he tries to hook up with are often going to have money on their minds, and because of their situation it is hard to blame them.

This is one of those tricky situations that doesn’t always have a right answer. Every guy out there will have his own personal opinions on the subject of prostitution, we aren’t going to tell you to handle it one way or another.

But it is so prevalent that it needed to be mentioned, and you can handle it however you see fit. A lot of guys will at least treat them to a nice meal and pay for their transportation home if they got laid the first night and it felt a little too easy, but again that is all up to you.

If you can’t figure out which city to hit up next the singles nightlife in Nairobi can also be really fun for single men.

Enjoy Dating Addis Ababa Girls

Any time you visit a large city in a foreign country there is going to be some culture shock to deal with. There are around 3.5 million people living in the capital of Ethiopia, and it kind of goes without saying that Africa might be different than you have imagined once you get there.

If you feel a bit intimidated, aren’t comfortable in the nightlife, or find that too many of the single women near you out in the nightlife are only interested in your cash don’t forget to use Afro Introductions to try and get laid. In fact logging on before your trip to set up some dates on arrival might be a good idea as well.

That wraps up our best places to meet girls in Addis Ababa and the dating guide, enjoy yourself.
