Which trait that are mostly distinctive to somalis you wish we didnt have

[Sophisticate]

Yeah, a narrow chest, the men also have it too, it's one of our more noticeable traits. Somalis and other Horners - on average - do have smaller jaws compared to say, West Africans or Arabs. The forehead is over exaggerated to an extent though, Somalis don't have huge foreheads like people make it seem, it's just slightly more pronounced than others.

I don't think Somalis/Horners have innately narrower jaws. It's variable. Let's compare one-for-one of models Horner vs. West African and MENA models to test your little theory out. The only thing madows and dheegocase have on average are rounder faces (but that doesn't include models as they are thinner than the general population).

When Somalis have great jaw development, in combination with the cheekbones and eyes, they're stunning. I don't think anyone comes close, but is it fair to use models, the top 99th percentile to gauge the development of the average Somali? I've said it here before that if we were to take averages into consideration, in comparison to the HOA population, Somalis honestly wouldn't fare too well, but when we're good looking, we shock the world, our 10s wipe the floor with theirs. That's why there's never been an Ethiopian/Eritrean Waris or Iman, they can't compete at that level.

99th percentile? Is an exaggeration. I've seen ayeeyos and habos that looked better in their prime but I will not be posting. The average Somali is decent at least where I am from. I base this predominately on those around me.

The barrier to entry for modelling is not that high now. And you do not even need to be an elite level in looks or attractiveness to get there. I have been asked since I was 12 and I lack the height. I do not even consider myself all that good looking just pleasant in appearance.

Canadian Somalis must be lit then, I might visit sometime

I am the average. Because that's who I'm normally around most when it comes to Somalis.
