I’m a Gambian woman, and what hurts me the most is that if a Gambian man wants to marry a Gambian woman who is two years older than him it beefs talk of the town or his parents won’t agree to it but for a white woman who is old enough to be his grandmother, it’s okay

I have worked, in the US, with people from The Gambia and from Ghana. I would love to work always with such committed, intelligent, dedicated, problemsolving souls. That's the simple truth. The respect you received is respect you deserve. All through history, people everywhere on the planet have needed to rely on relationships in order to live. People get jobs because of who they know, as often as because they are truly suited for those jobs. People get into schools because their parents went there. People marry for many reasons, love being one among them - will he be a good provider? Do we both want children? Will she be there for me even if disaster strikes and I lose my health? Many reasons. There is no more shame in this, now, than there was in American women choosing among suitors on the basis of who could best provide for them. My heart went out to all involved. A world where all people have enough, have what they need, would be a lovely world but we aren't there yet. If that is what we dream of, we must keep trying.

It works both ways. Female African scam artists search for lonely older foreign men to scam money from while promising to meet them.

She promised many times to visit him, but never has. He has sent her tens of thousands of dollars, but has never met her. All his friends have tried to tell him that she is a liar and a scam artist, but he keeps sending her money! He's in too deep.

Neither Islam nor Christianity would condone the lifestyles of the “male prostitution” that is taking place in this documentary. The decay of morality is not going to elevate the society and quality of life in the Gambia. Investment in infrastructure, education and industry will facilitate the rise from poverty.

I’m impressed with the presenter. He’s a great balance of open-minded and skeptical, and his analysis allows for nuance and compassion without sacrificing realism. His analysis at 27:56 about believing the guy’s current sincerity, but also that it’s unlikely to last into the future is a surprisingly nuanced view being expressed by a presenter - we don’t get that often in this format of documentary. He also flags when people’s stories don’t add up, which is refreshing and insightful. He rightly spells out the history of colonialism and draws the link with the current situation, as well as makes plain that poverty drives this dynamic. The only piece of analysis that I wish he’d mentioned is that this same dynamic plays out all the time the world over but usually older men and younger women - this just feels more notable because it’s an unusual reversal of gender dynamics.

If a woman has the money to support a man, and he has the moral code to keep her happy and loved, then let them be happy. Same as if a rich older man here marries a beautiful trophy wife, or if a European man marries a woman from Thailand or Vietnam.

This makes me feel very sad. My ex husband is Gambian. There are only two years difference between us and we met here in the states. However as soon as he didn’t need me anymore financially he decided he wanted a second wife in Africa. We divorced. He married a woman from his culture and moved her here.

Im so excited to see two sides to this story...any story! Awesome interviewer.

This was an important documentary. I see in the comments some people saying that it is mutual but I see it as exploitation of people’s misfortune. Given the history of the Gambia and slavery it is even more disturbing. You do not get a sense that anyone is truly being authentic about what they want and need with the exception of 2 of the ladies.

These women are a particular type. They NEED social interaction. They always NEED, always take advantage of others to fill their own needs, and have never been fully self-reliant, so they are susceptible. But I don't feel sorry for them. They're either gullible or delusional, or both. I highly doubt they've ever been in mature, respectable, romantic partnerships. I doubt they have healthy, appropriate relationships with their own children. The whole thing is sad. But, these situations are not the same as a gold digging, young, WESTERN woman searching for an old rich man. That's absolutely NOT the same thing. Western women have many more opportunities to enrich themselves than people from poor nations do, like these young men, so their gold digging is more predatory than desperate. These older women are definitely taking advantage of people who have no choice about poverty. They should know better and have higher expectations of themselves rather than choosing to use other people as toys. It's healthy to accept yourself as you are, age included. But there's an expectation of behaviour that goes with age. I'm a senior woman, BTW.

Having knowledge about history, psychology, and socioeconomic this video helps me garner much understanding as to why we see things as this. In can sum in few words-- circumstances make us humans who we are. Here, older women can't find love and companion among their own race . On the other hand, young Gambians are living in poverty hellscape . Now, both worlds merge -- commodity. Something is in it for all parties.

Transactional relationships come in all forms across the globe. In fact, that's the norm throughout history. Marrying for "love" is a very recent concept. As long as all involved are adults and have no cognitive issues, who's to judge.

I used to teach English in Turkey about 25 years ago and back then, it was British, German, Dutch, Russian, Ukrainian, Danish women in their 50s+ who would hook up with a a 21 year old Turkish guy. In fact some of my male students, when I asked them why they wanted to learn English, they openly said, "so I can work at a hotel or resort and meet a rich German woman who will look after me." I guess Turkey isn't a cheap as it used to be so now the women have moved on to Western Africa.
