Filingué
7.7
High score (8-10)
Filingué sits on the Niger river with genuine agricultural activity and river-based trade; you're one of the few foreign faces, which reads as money and status to locals. The town's mixed ethnic makeup (Songhai, Fulani, Zarma) means less insularity than deeper bush towns—women here have exposure to outsiders through market work and seasonal labor migrations.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Basic infrastructure—no reliable power, limited French, small market. If you can handle no wifi and operate in Zarma or Hausa, there's space to be interesting, but logistics kill momentum fast. Local attitudes toward foreigners are neutral unless you live there; passing through, you're background noise.
Lower score (below 6)
The river floods each season, malaria is endemic, and you're 300km from any real city. No dating infrastructure exists; women you'd meet are either married, local elders' daughters (taboo), or sex workers. Romance here requires weeks of groundwork with zero certainty.
