In scale in 1-10 how often do people say you look Somali?

[Keep it a boqol]

I look really really Somali.

it’s mostly the eyes people can tell when they see a Somali.

It’s just our features being too distinctive to ajnabis (crazy).

Its why I believe we our own race.


Ditch the black and Cushitic labels lads somali it is

yeah bro classic somali eyes are almond shape. we def got that from our proto nilotic ancestors

 

[Sigmundd]

When I didn't wear the hijab I man couldn't believe I was Somali.

 

[Jiron]

we have so many different features which are unique to somalis ma'shallah, i always strike up a conversation with our people

Is it because your forehead is too big

nah he just thought I was Eritrean didn't think I looked Somali at all.

 

[Khanderson]

nah he just thought I was Eritrean didn't think I looked Somali at all.

I remember I was talking to this Eritrean guy (he was an Uber driver) he announced to me he is a Somali until later he admitted to me he is an Eritrean.

I pretty much believe the trend are real where Horners posing as Somalis.

I thought the soft eyes came from our Eurasian ancestors while the big forehead came from our proto-Nilotic ancestors.

maybe because he saw you were a somali so he can start a convo or he thought you were erritrean to avoid starting a conversation.

Yes he knew I was Somali from the start.

I was the one that was struggling to think maybe he’s Somali or not.

Eritreans (unlike Ethiopians) looks more like us.

the only "ethiopians" that look similair to us are afar and oromo

Too much wallahi. To the extent ive barely ever been asked what country I'm from. They automatically know that I am Somali. The only other countries that I've ever gotten is Eritrean or Ethiopian.

Even when it comes to Somalis, I always have Somali uncles approaching me because I have that typical Somali look. Sometimes I wish I never looked like a typical Somali just to be more undercover.

Come and laugh at this bantu with his lies

The secret is applying it in small amounts once a week. Do not overdo it all in one go like the fobs or it will not look realistic. I went from mariin to cadaan in only 2 years you can too if you follow my advice

Ayo bro...Make a thread on this in the man cave...

Dravidian groups looks like they can pass as Aboriginal Australians at times.

But you can tell they have their own distinctions similar to Somalis.

This Dravidian women looks (kinda) Somali:

@Aseer why the quashin?

 

[Aseer]

Sudanese, saudi, yemeni and one time egyptian.

They are Somalis who can appear similar to a Tamil groups (and Dravidians groups).

The Tamils don’t look Somalis because they have their own distinctions but we can appear similar to them (in a complicated way).


I’m gonna cherry pick on this just to show you a similar comparison:

Somali man:

Dravidian man:

Somali man again:

Tamil man:

Obviously I’m cherry picking on this: but you can see they can appear similar.

Focus on the patterns.

Understand Somali features are diverse: some would look Madow, south Asian, or Caucasian.

I know it may sound silly sometimes.

Somalis can appear similar to other groups of people around the world but still retain the same genetic traits.

that’s what makes us unique.

 

[Nilotic]

I always get Dinka tribe from Sudan.

You must be really dark, saaxib

I've only once been mistaken for a Somali and it was by a Lebanese dude

I get Eritrean a lot. Used to get Indian a lot and I mean a lot when I was a youngster to the point that an Indian kid told me to go back to India as an insult. In adulthood I never get Indian.

Nowadays most can tell I am Somali, as it seems people are getting more familiar with us.
