The WEIGHT ISSUE in Somalia.

[amii.001x]

Sorry for posting 2x.

I’ve also noticed that some of the people back home seem to be.. large. Particularly the women. And they seem to all be cadan with huge faces. It’s not attractive at all. why are the purposely putting on weight? I look at vintage videos of how our women used to look & Allahuma barik. The natural beauty (all shades) was breath taking.

a lot of the women today are beautiful but the weight gain is hiding. PLUS they’re YOUNG but they look like they gave birth to 10kids.

The men have let themselves go too.
I find looking at nomadic men much more pleasing to the eyes the city boy.

Ever since the fall of the central government in 1991,lots of things went downhill and one of them is the beauty standards especially the bleaching and use of banned pills to gain weight

I haven’t been. I’m basing it on all the videos I’ve seen on TikTok, surely it must be common. Maybe not the majority but common enough.

Oh my god , they did a documentary on this . But I knew it had something to do with pills my mum told me it could be to do with them associating being plump with looking young. But that’s insanse.

It’s not that hard to google some of the stuff they consume and most of it is banned and not healthy for human consumption

Maybe not your family but a lot of men back home want big women. Its a thing in Mauritania too

This wasn’t a thing in the past in Somalia. Being slender or curvy was desired but not fat women. There has been a shift very recently

Being fat is seen as having enough money to eat well ig

Yeah but it ain’t that bad compared to places like Nigeria or Mauritania. I think if Somalis back home become wealthy and educated this beauty standard would die out

that's why these poor girls are getting fat tbh, the young generation of men are hitting the gym and staying fit, the girls are also watching turkish and k drama shows and they are slowly finding out not all men are into chubby girls.
