MEET THE 11 STEREOTYPICAL GHANAIAN WOMEN
In Ghana, you will see and meet different types of women, here are the major types of women based on their general characteristics. This information is based on informal research and from the individual viewpoint of married men and bachelors. Here, I present to you the types of women in Ghana.
1. THE PROSPEROUS WOMAN
These are the types of women all men dream to spend their life with but in reality, there aren't such women just as there isn't such a man. But these are women, perceived to be financially stable (not considering the source of finances though). They are limited and mostly born into already wealthy families. These types of women live by standards and unless a situation comes up or fate deems you to meet one, it will be quite challenging under normal circumstances to get in touch with one. They hardly step out in public due to their strict routines; go to work, get back home, shower, take dinner, sleep, visit the golf club over the weekend or the gym, get to church, and get home. You will hardly see such women in our local markets since they usually have house help. The only chance they can be seen in public, is during church services or special social events. I know one such name of a woman just appeared in your mind! They may appear as sugar mummies or successfully married women, but they don't care about your money, all they need is care and love.
2. THE CELEBRITY AND CELEBRITIES-TO-BE
We all know the life of the REAL CELEBRITIES can be quite complex. With the popularity of social media nowadays most women are becoming indoor celebs (the trying hard). These types of women are by far the most common. With access to a smartphone and some data, you will come across countless trying to grab your attention. With several between 18 – 25, you will surely see a few of the older generation too doing things there. They see their beauty as a form of bait. These women may see you as their "cash-out" machine.
3. THE "RELIGIOUS OVERDOSE"
The Overdosed Religious Women are frequent in churches. They come from strict religious homes and do not tolerate “nonsense”. They are brought up in a specific way and that’s all they know; they hardly get compromised. Their lives are usually determined and controlled by their parent(s) or guardian(s). They hardly miss any religious activity within their beliefs and are very rigid in their decisions, you can easily identify them by their dressing or by briefly engaging them in a conversation. These women hardly ask men for money from men but usually end up facing marital issues in the long term if they don't find a man who syncs with them.

4. THE "EVER-READY WOMEN"
They are the most understanding women. They gained a lot of experience from life (their past relationship and social connections), and they may already be a mother to one or more children. Mostly they have crossed a life of adventure and are willing to settle down. Due to this they can easily become compromised and may be stuck to a particular negative lifestyle which a man may discover later! Though they are ready never make the mistake of dating one casually, it can be hazardous, they can go to the extreme far if their real expectations aren’t met at the end of the day. The reason is somewhere deep in their minds, they feel they have been used and dumped on several occasions so they are ever ready for revenge. Be with one if you have the intention of being with her! These women will hardly ever ask for money.
5. THE "SURVIVORS"
Here are the women who are doing all they can in the name of existence to survive. Due to their exposure to harsh life, they don’t trust men easily. Some are hookers, some are addicts and a small margin are genuine quality women who are striving for the best in life. Women who hawk fruits and ice water on our roads are in this group. They may be orphans or people who have met some type of bad luck in life. For the group of hookers and addicts, most need some form of psychological and financial aid to escape their current predicament. As a result of their harsh reality, most women in this group care about nothing in life but their survival. They will state their financial issues at the beginning of accepting you so you become aware, that they can spend cash fast if you meet the wrong one.
6. THE “I-KNOW-ALL”
In this group, you will find, mostly, over-disciplined women, unfortunately, they may also turn out, to be disrespectful in their comments. Women in this category are mostly financially stable and may end up controlling men in their relationships or marriages. They will do whatever it takes to be at the very top of education. It could be from a very rigid upbringing. Unfortunately, they find it rather challenging, to marry or “pair up” successfully. They may also try to be at the top of careers or education. You can meet them in churches, offices, and events. They don't care about money much but they may end up criticizing your gifts secretly.
7. THE "EASY-BRAINERS"
Women in this group are common but hard to identify, you will only get to know about them when a dire situation crops up. They appear normal, but after close observation, you will start to notice their true nature and shortcomings. Below is an interview we had with one a few years back.
Us: Given this scenario, that your husband isn’t home, you have to attend a church service since you are the leader, and suddenly your baby has fallen sick, provided his temperature is rising fast, what will you do?
Her: I think the best thing is to take my baby to church for our pastor to pray for him
Us: How about if it's medicinal and not spiritual?
Her: Surely the church because I know God is greater than everything!
Her answer points to several things that might have gone wrong during her childhood or upbringing. Who knows, maybe some psychological issues. If you are fast enough, you can easily identify them through conversation. They can be very vulnerable and also end up being controlled by their parents, pastors, friends, etc. completely when they get married. You can find them everywhere, especially, in towns, and villages. These women are usually satisfied with what you will give them when they are not under the influence of anybody.
8. THE YOUNG AND UNSTABLE
The young ladies usually between 18 -25 years are now exploring their opportunities in life and are not ready to marry. Unfortunately, they make up most of the women population. Most are highly unstable and will do as the heart pleases rather than what their mind tells them. You can meet these ladies in schools, churches, and offices. They mostly see men as their cash machine, since they are not independent, they will depend on you. You are responsible for providing everything from mobile phones and airtime to menstrual pads.
9. THE "AVAILABLE MADAM"
These types of women are just available, they won't turn down your proposal but after being with her for some time, you will begin to notice she's available to other men just as you! She will always have a reason to explain her friendships with males and others. These women, are simply in their made-up worlds and will not mind anything at all. Don't expect them to compromise. They can range from apprentices to people who see themselves as attractive. They can be found everywhere. They are real money "spenders".
11. THE OCCULTIST
As termed, these are special types of women who belong to secret cults. They can range from hookers to sugar mummies. There have been stories of these women using sperms of men in doing rituals for money. They are mostly rich and are picky about men. Due to their beauty, men easily fall for them. These women are not easy to come by even with the danger they pose. One can only meet them through special introductions or nightclubs. They only go to the men they see what they want in. The result can be short-term enjoyment and finance over long-term illness, lunacy, or worse case, death!

12. THE BEST WOMAN
There isn't anything like a perfect partner, we all have our flaws equally. The best woman is the woman whose flaws you can tolerate or who is in sync with your personality and expectations. It will be difficult to get someone like that but if you can pair up with a woman understandably, you are good to go.
For the groups indicated above, they are general observed characteristics, this does not represent the general behavioral pattern of women. These are the only common ways most women present themselves to men in Ghana.
