Why do African dudes keep touching me?

Prolly think you from dey tribe.

Folks know at first glance when someone is not part of their tribe. You can't fake that

Did you just lose yourself in your own ducktales...?

They come from a warm social culture to one where people are cold and isolated most times. North America is so cold that any kind of friendship is seen as UnHarlemite.. Irony is us "foreigners" are 100 times more Harlem than the locals



I went to ATL this year and got tried in broad daylight twice, I had to put on a thicker accent to show I'm ultra Harlem and scare them.

On two occasions in the last couple of months, I've walked past FOB African dudes and just head nod and keep it movin. All of a sudden, they grab my arm and compliment my muscles talmbout "DAMN MAN LOOKA DIS!! "
I tell them "yooooo girls only!!! " they usually feel embarrassed and laugh and walk away, but Is it a cultural thing for them to just walk up to random people and touch them?

I'm 6' 3 245lbs. And get comments all the time about my size....from men, women, kids, babies, everyone

Humble brag

And welcome to world of sexual harassment

African men in particular? Not in a while but when I used to go to an African church years ago there were def some on that time. I guess it's a cultural thing.

But If I'm out and about and wear a sleeveless top I've had dudes grab my arm

One time this guy's hand was cold and wet like wtf bro.

You get compliments from babies?

They roll up on you saying “googoo gaga”?

Damn babies never compliment me on anything

[KBtheKey]

In certain countries it's to show that you respect a person and comfortable around them.

In a lot of other countries, pickpocketing/scamming foreigners is a recreational activity

They're weird cats that don’t understand boundaries because they’re used to living on top of each other.

I swear, concept of personal space is foreign to the rest of the world outside of the western hemisphere

Because western hemisphere was the last to get and so naturally people keep their distance

 

[Dont@Me]

Nikka Africa is a fukking continent you can fit majority of the continents inside it.

Africa is vast, where in Africa are they from??

You wouldn't want a native NYer to be confused with a Mississipian, right.

Wtf? I don't know what part of Africa they're from and I never asked them during the only ten second interaction I've had with them
