The biggest problem between Somalis is that there is no understanding between men and women

Lol it’s both ways, Somali guys are awkward asf! Sometimes they lack subtlety or finesse. They either flirt so openly it’s kinda gross or they act really awkward. It’s like they lack that easy casual “let’s built rapport before I ask you out” vibe. For ex, few days ago I was jogging at river nearby. I sat down at a bench to feed the ducks. A mixed Persian guy sat down some distance and then at some point walked over and striked a conversation about the ducks. Then he casually moved on to the history of the state and the river. Then reveled his ancestry, asked about mine. He says he loves Somali food... etc. Before I know it’s been an hour and we covered so many topics. He then casually invites me to Persian cultural event and asked for my number. It happened so casually, it felt normal. A faraax could never pull that off in a million years lol.
its because I have a respect for somali women u rly think i can pull that shit with my same blood? its weird..

Why not tho? That’s not disrespectful at all. If anything Somali guys approaching you in malls or stores asking for your number directly is more disrespectful I think.
 
youre kinda true I dont think I ever saw my parents even talk to eachother no lie
they ended up divorcing eventually
Don’t worry most of us didn’t either. Even if they talk it’s about the kids or general small talk. Nothing passionate...it’s like they get bored talking for long lol.
 
you right, I think zero to date so far. I will keep you update if I get lucky soon! so excited can’t wait!

There are some Farahs out there lacking tact who have a idgaf mindset and don't really care how they come across when approaching, so I feel you there.

Thats why I asked if they were Fobs, for most of us diaspora guys if she isn't giving us signals and it's awkward we know how to take a hint lol. I was just curious and hoping you'd share some of those encounters.
 
I feel like Somali women are the weakest link. When somali women marry out, the divorce rate is still astronomical unlike when somali men marry out. Somali men are too chill and can’t be bothered to divorce most of the time.
Don't make me tear Faraxs a new asshole :ufdup:
 
Both men and women are incompatible in the west.

I'm starting to believe that Somalis are, by birth, dowladiid inkaars wherever they go.

These MFs cannot even share anything together, be it Tribal lines or, in this case, gender.


:faysalwtf:
It's fascinating how the word Madow (which describes a HAIR TEXTURE) is censored,but not this actual deragatory word :farmajoyaab:
 
As one member already commented on this thread, this is mostly an issue in the west.

Somali women in the west have been intensely indoctrinated with feminist ideals and this has created resentment towards Somali men.

As such, Western Somali men tend to avoid Western Somali women because they're too madax xanuun.
 
I was told by a few Somali girls I remind them of their uncle. Is that a good thing or what?
Oh my uncle has the same name as you
Etc
Been uncle zoned way too often

Things have definitely changed with the younger generation, however at one point Somali guys were not doing as well as Somali girls. The girls kept on pointing it out, Somali guys started to get mad.

Now we have some Somali guys who love to talk about traditionalism. They want a stay at home wife who does all the cooking and cleaning. However, many cannot afford to do this in the West. They cannot sustain a family with one income. Due to their frustrations, they proceed to bash Western girls.

If you have common sense. You would silently go back home and marry rather than bashing women in the West, just because you cannot afford to be a breadwinner in the West. The economic situation really isn't our fault, nor is it our fault that some of you lot failed to take advantage of the free education that the West offers. Some Somali men lack self reflection and accountability.

Speaking of traditionalism where guys want a housewife who cooks clean and everything else on her own and expect girls here to be more traditional like the ones back home what they don't realize is that the girls back home they have maids and they have always a relative nearby who can come and help for example after giving birth her relatives will be staying and helping her with chores

But in the west your on your own and you don't usually live near a relative its just the husband and wife on their own you can't run the household as if you where back home this why you will see alot somali mums struggling with bunch kids

Yep, that is true. Very rarely are Somali women back home expected to do everything on their own when kids are involved. But the problem with the a some young Somali men is that they lack critical thinking or respect for women. They aren't going to take reality into account, because once they do, they will have to question themselves which they don't want to do. Constantly bashing women is a much easier approach to dealing with their frustrations and inadequacy.

The stats are looking at Somali born women like our mothers. Someone like myself who was born and raised in the West would not be included as I am classed as 'British' rather than Somali, despite being ethnic Somali. Obviously, with the older gen most of our hooyos were/are housewives.

My whole point is about the generation of Somalis born/raised in the West.Were the stats looking at British Somalis or Somali born and raised? There is a clear difference.

All Somalis that were living in the U.K at the time, including those that migrated from Scandinavia. There is a fair amount of Somali born women but assuming the average Somali family is 3-4 kids, there's no way maamoyinka make up a majority of the stats.
 
@Chase only very recently have Somalis been able to get their own category. Most of us born and raised in the UK ticked 'black british', so I fail to see how those stats can give us a clear picture of young Somali men and women born and raised in the UK.
