In a list of the world's most dangerous countries Forbes listed Afghanistan as No. 1. The violence in Afghanistan has greatly risen due to political corruption, tribal warfare and the presence of the U.S. military. Additionally, the country is one of the poorest and most unstable. Suicide bombings are not uncommon. A large majority of the Afghan population follows the Islam religion, which requires women to cover themselves from head to toe in clothing. Many cannot leave the house without a male escort, let alone choose a husband. For these reasons, Afghanistan would be a dangerous and difficult place to meet a woman.
Like Afghanistan, Iraq is an extremely unstable country and is unsafe for travel. U.S. troops have occupied Iraq since 2003, which has led to civil uprise and the death of 650,000 civilians, according to the John Hopkins School of Public Health. Suicide bombs, mines and other explosive devices are a constant threat. Murders and kidnappings are an everyday thing, and this makes Iraq a dangerous place to meet a woman.
While Colombia offers a breathtaking landscape and beautiful women, it is also high on many lists of unsafe countries. The biggest concern in Colombia is kidnappings. Although the number of kidnappings has been on the decline for many years, recent reports show that kidnapping rates jumped 22 percent in 2010, according to government anti-kidnapping agency Fondelibertad. Additionally, drug trafficking makes the country a dangerous place. Colombia supplies 75 percent of the world's cocaine supply, according to listverse.com.
South Africa, known as the rape capital of the world, should absolutely be on your list of places not to travel to meet women. The country is listed as No. 2 on the list of countries with the highest murder rates, according to mapsofworld.com. South Africa also has a huge AIDS and HIV problem, so meeting a woman there may put you at risk for disease.
