If that were true, they'd be content with the crime-ridden Somali males in the Dem African and Make Money Gang
An ex-con isn't a con, it's a reformed title. Many girls like to "fix" men and see positive change, and that's a real problem. It's the psychology of seeing change or being the reason for it, of witnessing a "Bad to Good" transition over the other way around.
I'd say many are running away from inferior Somali culture and all it's many landmines as well. The ppl where I am aren't marrying excons, they're just plain marrying and dating out. Even in a suburban environment, many Somali guys here aren't reaching for the stars and manage to get into dubious situations and have criminal records. If the excon were the main attraction, they could find it in the community.
