@Mohamud

Check out their hairlines fam. None of them have bidaar.

@Adheer Warsame @Mudug-Madman

I wonder what it could be that causes this nowadays? I always assumed it was genetic. Most of them are young, I'd like to see more pictures of 30 and 40 year olds.

Great pictures.

Baldness is a product of lifestyle.

 

[Galaeri]

And none of them are OVER WEIGHT

Khat destroys your teeth. Google khat teeth.

Hersi Boqor, the man who struck fear in the hearts of every gaal on Somali soil. The MJs looked majestic af compared to the rest of the Somalis.

Nice pictures.

Baldness is hereditary and due to high testosterone.

Canuck is right, those guys with the feathers in their head killed at least one man from the enemy. The second last sentence from the link below mentions this custom.

@ChickenOriental

I am sure this thread is for you

MashaAllah, our men are gorgeous. We need to go back to our homeland, this harsh climate and fake, processed food ain't good for us.

 

[Merca]

Our people are beautiful

 

[Galaeri]

Our people are beautiful

This is your typical Darood from 100+ years ago. The Sultans of Somaliland mashallah. His kingdom was truly the one greatest and the only sultanate to rule over sanaag, togdheer, and Waqooyi Galbeed.

Inb4 we wuz kings, Darood calcaal.

AFRICAN GLADIATORS: A WONDERFUL SOMALI WAR DANCE

One of the most striking dances in the Somali repertoire, called the "Bororoma-Boromsi" dance. Surrounded by an ever-restless chanting chorus of spearmen, the two combatants — one attacking fiercely with cutlass, the other defending desperately with his small Somali shield — seem to be in grim and deadly earnest, and none would believe them to be at play

THE LAST SCENE: THE DUSKY VISITOR APPEALS TO CÆSAR

The defender sinks to the ground and abjectly craves mercy, while the chorus, dancing more madly, chant "Boromsi Boromsa." The conqueror pins his victim and prepares to give the final blow but, like an ancient gladiator, turns to the spectators to ask the beaten one's fate

 

[VixR]

I swear these ppl look foreign.

The guy on @jugjugwacwac profile:
Du'aale Abdi, Isaaq, Tol-Je'lo, Mousse Abu-bokor, 28 yrs.

We have wide-eyes and couple chinky-eyes in my family, so this where the chinks in my family get it from. This guy can barely open his eyes

 

[Rooble]

Its about nomads not about aristocratic figures.
