The WEIGHT ISSUE in Somalia.

[Karim]

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.

You can't base your perception of an entire ethnicity on videos you've seen on social media. I visit Somalia on regular basis and even though plenty of Somali girls bleach their skin they're not fat. I would say less than 5% of girls between the age 17-35 are fat. Most of them are skinny tall chicks from poor to middle income families.

Just visit the country once and see it for yourself.

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.

Somali guys back home are hitting the gym and staying fit?

Bleaching is exaggerated as well.

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.

Too much-processed shit and seed oils, I use ghee or beef tallow for cooking.

Men who are for overweight in Somalia are hoarding food somewhere or are corrupt.

As for Women it is just poor diet and lack of movement.

Majority of women are skinny due to poverty but there’s a trend to gain weight & bleach.

Bleaching is cancer, it

Reer baadiye are mostly fit but its diet and labour ig

Majority of women are skinny due to poverty but there’s a trend to gain weight & bleach.

Imagine in 10-20 years the skin damage and the cholestorol

Them bleaching is worse than being fat you dismissing the issue

Well then don’t generalise. I’ve been and it’s really not that common. Guys here exaggerate the bleaching issue too. Bleaching is far worse in west Africa and places like Sudan

Who's into fat women anyways?

Wadaadada iyo overly religious men.

 

[gasara]

The poor and working class can’t afford to sit. Most arent big back home. But also I noticed this for many bigger women. They’ll barely eat/starve yet they are still big. I remember reading a good paper on this phenomenon on why it happens to Somali women in particular. I’ll see if I can find it as it really hit the nail on this issue. But I also see it with women here that I know. They’ll bare do everything to lose weight and follow the proper manner but still can’t lose weight. So I have a lot of sympathy tbh.

If we talking for real, I barely seen any fat girl while I was there.

Some men are into chubby women, some men are into slim women, some men are into fat women, some men are into skinny women, some men are into lean women, some men are into thick women etc. Waa caadi, it’s just a preference at the end of the day bro nothing more and nothing less

Well ive visited Somalia and the girls are mostly skinny. If i did see a chubby somali women she was usually older and had kids. These tiktoks arent how most people look there.

 

[Kisame]

We are not. I don't even think about it. Not even my old parents think they are beautiful lol lol

We have a lot of men into big women. I didn't think this was a thing but it's true.

Most of these niggas have a size limit though. Like they aren't chasing after 300+ xalimos.

they big af in borama man. its noticeable even when they wear these tents like jilbabs imagine the horror if they had some jeans on

the slim ones go under the radar which is heaven for a guy like me

 

[Yazi]

I had a hot cousin that stayed with us for a while and then went back to Burco. Just seen her on WhatsApp statues. She got inflated. How unfortunate.

 

[DubatDiaries]

The average person/woman is not fat but it is a beauty standard.

The thing with Somalia is, a lot of people will comment on your weight, both men and women. I don't know if it was the novelty of me being a visitor when I go or if its something they do regularly.
I remember this random man trying to flirt telling me "waxba ha iska badalin, sidaan baad ku qurux ku tahay" (talking about my size). It was as if he was trying to reassure me and build my confidence, or maybe he was trying to convince himself he liked thinner women.
