Preference for certain sub clans when choosing a partner

[قوة الشرطة الصومالية]

Do any of you have a preference for certain sub clans? I think I do. It’s all over the place but I think I prefer certain sub clans over others. Should I be ashamed for having such preferences?

I’ve been called colourist before. Why should I be shamed for my natural inclination to prefer specific sub clans over others while choosing a partner ?

You like ethnic women

if you live in somalia than yeh but i’m guessing you live in the west so it doesn’t matter. Now a days if their somali and muslim than its more than enough.

 

[Ismail99]

Sorry, but why are Somalis so clannish? Is it imbedded deep in their culture

Yeah, they can't think past clans a cursed people

Tribe preferences if you grew up in qurbo is kinda weird ngl. You’re in a minority abroad so why you want to find a clan fellow (which would only makes sense in tuulo settings)? Idk that’s just me tho, my preference is anyone Somali, not just isaaq or my subclan

I don’t really care what sub clan they are but the features I prefer are found in a few sub clans.

I am destined to wed one if I want any future in Somali politics.

Only a few sub clans are famous for the features I have a preference for.

I also have preference for certain ethnic sub clans preferably ones who don’t write their usernames in Arabic.

I swear all Somalis look the same anyway (besides Bantus and cadcad ofc)

Qabil endogamy among Somalis is kinda overblown even in the homeland. Ask most people to recount the qabil of all their grandparents and you'll notice the women were often of different qabils and subqabils. Like me. I'm mostly Darood and yet my direct maternal line is Raxanweyn (Maalin Weyn):

Notice how the maternal lines are all different with two being of totally different qabils. I noticed I'm not unique in this either. Alotta people running around with ayeeyos and great ayeeyos from different qabils and subqabils or their hooyo is from a different qabil or subqabil from their dad. Somali mtDNA diversity correlates well with this too. I've seen samples from all over Somaliweyn and everywhere you go you see the same overall mtDNA lineages popping up.

It's even in a lot of the qabil origin myths. The Darood's origin myth is seriously about how they were formed through Sheikh Darood marying Dobira, the Dir clan chieftain's daughter. We have always been intermarrying on the maternal side which explains the general autosomal homogeneity and high IBD sharing among Somalis despite the disconnect in terms of Y-DNA like T-L208 Vs. E-V32 or some niggas so far seeming to have V32 subclades separated by many centuries.

Nah as long as the woman is good looking. But maybe I'd avoid certain people my issaq sub clan has beef with so I can run into any problems. But other than that I'm good

Me as well some if my female ancestors could have been darood or Hawiye it's very possible.

This idea never entered my brain
