the reality of dating while living abroad.... welcome to the ghetto

It's no secret that dating in 2024 is not for the weak! Us single people are in the TRENCHES but I still couldn't see this coming a mile away.. spend two days with me navigating the big city of Istanbul and prepare myself for what I thought would be a lovely date night!

Jasmine, I see a lot of comments from women who are insinuating that your standards are too high, which is sad to see. If a man wants to date, he should be 1) employed, 2) financially & mentally sufficient, and 3) expect to spend money. If women, particularly BW, are telling you that your standards are too high, then that makes me feel as though they are encouraging their sons to be cheap because they don’t value themselves and don’t see value in other BW, which could explain why BM have no problem spending money on nonBW versus BW. Additionally, BM collectively know that BW are desperate to be partnered with a BM which could have been the reason why your date didn’t prioritize the date and was reluctant to make an effort into planning a nice evening out. His mere presence was supposed to suffice. Also, if BW are telling men, especially BM, that the bare minimum is good for them, that makes it hard for the BW with high standards to date and navigate an already small black dating pool. I hope you are exploring your options because the stats say that the more money BM make, the less likely they are to marry unlike nonBM. You should read, “Is Marriage for WP,” by Ralph Richard Banks. It’s an insightful read.

[@itsjasminegiselle]

Hit the nail right on the head! 🤌🏽 When a woman wants nothing but the BEST for herself, the world hates to see it. However, that has nothing to do with me 😂 Sidenote: he actually wasn’t a BM. When experimenting goes wrong 😆

[@gracevlogsandwrites]

SAY IT!

[@PsychedelicRhapsody]

@@itsjasminegiselle Not me being hype and wrong, assuming he was a BM 😂 but the points made are still valid. You are dating strategically and are open to other groups of men which is a great thing! Keep exploring your options. The fact that you are traveling to different countries and encountering new people and cultures, will definitely increase your chances of finding someone you are compatible with.

My precious. Please stay off the apps when abroad. I don't do apps even when I'm in my small village abroad. The apps are for hook ups (especially abroad). I meet people by going to village get-togethers, book clubs, over tea, or at the weekly market. I'm mostly stateside (until retirement). But, baybee, when I visit, it's on and poppin with me alone or with friends. Please be safe over there. Cheers.

[@kvlcmaydnlk]

Don't trust anyone from these applications! You are very beautiful, clever and independent girl. They don't deserve you, like seriously. %100 of the men on apps are trash. I understand and relate to you, you want to meet with a kind and nice guy that you want to spend good time with but no my doll, this is not the right place.

The young man spoon feeding you at Bubble Tea.., sweetest human ever! As for the apps, if someone has looks, swag and money, unfortunately they will likely not be on the apps, (or if they are, they will probably treat it like an open bar). Be mindful as most men on it are very nonchalant on casual things and ghosting .. As difficult as it has become, nothing beats meeting people in real life because you can get a real feel about who they are. Oh and always trust your gut feeling. Better safe than sorry, and that boy, looked like it was going to be a ‘sorry’. Still waiting for the Greece vlog though. I can only imagine the madness 🤣

Jas!!! I love your content sm! Watching your journey is super inspiring and making me excited to travel more! Now...the date thing lol. The signs were there! It's so important especially for us as women to stay in tune with our intuition so we can read people (men) clearly. (I recommend meditation!) He was definitely super mad that you told him your standards, as you should. When he mentioned that he "didn't have a wife to iron his clothes" that was a clear indication that's what he's looking for smh. And a lot of men don't see marriage how we do. Unfortunately he wasn't a good one. But don't lose faith, there are plenty good men out there. In the meantime meet some girlfriends and just enjoy your youth! You'll find who you're looking for when you least expect it! We don't know each other personally but you're like my sister and I'm rooting for you!!!😭❤❤❤

IF you happen to do that, would you please mention me? My name is Angel, and I will likely never get to do it in my lifetime (I'm disabled).

[@liliyalas9731]

My thoughts exactly.

[@ebbyc8160]

Even though you’re saying “I like to see what he would pick” You honestly didn’t allow him to pick … Sometime you just have to let the man lead , if he chooses something that wasn’t “up to your standards” You can kindly decline on the next date or communicate that to him . Love you to death ❤just some mature advice ! You can take or leave . I just see a wall up when it comes to you and men but with everything your open and treat it as a new experience ! Maybe you should try the same with dating , let your guard dampen and high expectations. Love is there to be had 💋 In addition when you upped the restaurant that had him thinking 🤔 She must be giving me some ! Be cautious but also open minded ! Love ya and keep being amazing ❤

[@itsjasminegiselle]

It's so fascinating watching ya'll make so many excuses for this man lol no wonder they get away with doing the bare minimum.

[@PsychedelicRhapsody]

Jasmine did allow that man to lead. Initially, he choose a place that wasn’t a restaurant. She said he’s been in Turkey for a month, so he should have had a list of quality restaurants to take her to, but he didn’t put any effort into choosing a decent spot until Jasmine told him to step his game up. Also, if a man chooses a cheap or mediocre place for a first date, you should speak up. Not speaking up and allowing a man to “lead” you will not work in your favor. He is going to think you have low self-esteem and will exploit your desperation to be with any man. That guy had plenty of time to show Jasmine the caliber of man he was, but he chose degeneracy. Having high standards and a no nonsense attitude will save your life and will be the best fboy repellent in this current dating climate.

If you happen to be a resident of Istanbul, known as the city with 8 mountains, you might not find it necessary to visit the gym. I personally walked for all my errands and indulged in 8 meals a day, yet managed to lose some weight.

From the guys voice I would say he is Asian English (Indian or Pakistani).

“Ooh girl, edges out here embarrassing me.” 😂

It went south when you called option one a mall …. lol 😅I died laughing 😂

This guy is trying to make him self seem soooo important “my company” 😂😂😂 Men who are truly “busy” don’t speak like that. In fact, they are very punctual and plan immediately. He was trying to butter you up, especially by sending all those voice notes..trying to create familiarity. I’m sorry you had to experience that. You dodged a bullet!

[@itsjasminegiselle]

No líes told.

[@aheartolove]

I definitely feel like I’m there

So basically kid since I’ve been looking at your video, I guess I have to take it back. You can do scooter because everything is far apart kind of but thank God you’re able to get a Uber and I’m praying for you pray Over your food all the time have fun on your date keep your eyes wide open❤

[@donnawilliams2062]

I love your standards, excellent way to gauge if its a waste of time! Can you list the artist you play in your videos? 😊

[@itsjasminegiselle]

Somebody gets it! ✨ and my process for picking music for my videos makes it extremely hard to do that 😩

Well to be honest GalataPort is not a shopping mall. Maybe you misunderstand. İt is a real cruise port very close where you were located, totally huuge openair area full if fancy restaurants, shops, clubs, street musicians, art galleries, museums, small nice squares, socialising areas etc... Btw maybe it was better searching some "group of friends" only for having some nice time and socialising. Because for a limited travelling time its hard to find someone special. On social media İstanbul has a lot of online expat, tourist, socialising groups to make real parties or meetings. Especially around where you were located. But its over now... :-/ Btw its pitty that İ also live at the same area and just saw your channel today. You would wellcome for socialising, having some nice local foods and maybe some nice chats with me and my friends...

After you shot down his first date suggestion you then say it’s all on him to pick the first date 😂 sounds like that’s not all him picking

[@itsjasminegiselle]

I guess women don’t have opinions in your world. Sounds like y’all would be great friends

Jasmine, you should always ask a man , what type of relationship or friendship they looking for, before you proceed with conversation. But sis, you turned him.ofv off with all the demands, the man been there only a month And didn't know you, so maybe suggest something. I bet him I ask you want know a lot of places in Mexico, after being there a month and if you work, you may not hang out like that. But I really think you turned him off, and he didn't see anything developing, so he said she could be a hookup. Men don't like to be told what to do and made to feel inadequate. His self esteem went down, by you saying you didn't want to do the things he suggested.

[@sweetblinks]

I think what happened with the date was , you called him out on his lack of “effort “ and his ego was hurt because of that he wanted to demean you and pretend like he was just looking for hook up only. Baybe ,Some men be getting sassy when they know you are right.

[@ChildOfGod028]

Someone else pointed out at the port there is a bunch of restaurants, art gallaries, and fun activities to do. To me it seems like a place here he could bring her and there was plenty of options to choose from but 🤷🏽‍♀️

Instead of going to specialty stores for things like lotion, go to the local discount chains like A101 (pronounced ay-yooz-beer) or Sok (shock)
