Have you ever been asked if you’ve had a nose job?

[empressjamila]

I’ve been asked this a couple times by other girls and I love to tell them NO, ilaahi just made my nose perfect

I can’t be the only one who’s been asked this. Somalis are known for button noses, lol

 

[ilmoweyn]

I don't think any Somali should be asked if they have a nose job since it is natural and nose jobs look 'off' majority of the time

not everyone is aware that we have small noses

That's true, then I guess people would question out of ignorance rather than actually suspecting that something looks off

It’s because (ignorant) people think all Africans have wide noses and if an African has a slim nose it’s because they did something to it

Also people do get surgery to have noses like ours. I’ve seen some well done nose jobs look exactly like a typical somali nose

 

[Chase]

'OMG your nose is perfect, so small, you had surgery?'

'Nah, I'm Somali hahah, it's typically Arabs who got them witch noses y'know? Hahah'

If Arabs and East Africans are gonna throw us under the bus, use every opportunity to do the same to them, I remember those 9/11 days bullying Iraqi/Turkish kids early in my primary years calling them terrorists with my Cadaan peers, game is game y'all.

What kind of people do you socialize with? Very strange questions indeed.

 

[wonyluvr]

I’m 17 nobody has asked me that I don’t have a typical Somali nose either

 

[gasara]

I remember they would ask me about how I got my eye shape and they would keep asking me if I wear make up (eyeliner and eye shadow). It’s just Somali genetics I haven’t done anything to myself Lol.

No, but I had people comment on my nose a lot, including my own mum

Once, I took my glasses off in front of my friend and she stared at me for a long time. When I asked her why she was looking at me she said, “I’ve never seen someone with a nose like that haha you remind me of the grinch”

That was the last time I took my glasses off in front of her

If that’s true, you better read your adhkar if you wanna avoid the evil eye.

 

[Baarisiyomoos]

no one has ever asked me that lmao. Somalis do have slim noses but they don’t look like the ski hill noses that are reminiscent of plastic surgery.

 

[ditto]

Jealousy?

Maybe. She used to comment on my appearance a lot, so I stopped being hanging out with her.

No friend will ever talk about your appearance unless you have food in your teeth or to compliment, any insult - especially about features that cannot be changed - comes from an enemy

Always gotta avoid those types of weirdos. They love to make u insecure for no reason. Good thing u stopped hanging with her.
