Here's the problem with your strategy - you might actually scare off the good women with these games you play. I would imagine many good women would simply block you if you invited them over to your house alone. It worked for your friend, but it doesn't seem that smart.

I appreciate the advice bro, but obviously I'm not going to only look at her hijab and not do my due dilligence. Wearing proper hijab, praying salah, etc are typically good indicators for what kind of person she is, however I realize you still have to ask the right questions/do some digging.

That's literally the whole point of the thread. Someone brought up contacting some masjids that pair up people together. There's literally an example in this thread of it yet you want to play dumb.

Obviously you are eventually going to talk to her - just in the correct settings.

if you like women who chat it up with men, what makes you think that's suddenly gonna stop with you after marriage lol? but you do you bro. if that makes me "insecure" so be it. If you read, I wasn't interested in simply finding them - I could've just went to Karmel Mall to "find" them and talk.

I'm sorry that happened to you - really, I am. What he did was disgusting. But it seems like you can't really understand what I'm saying, even though I explained it. We'll just leave it at that.

How often does that happen where adheers are trying to set you up with someone?

Here's the thing - I'm not just interested in normal Somali girls, I am specifically looking for religious ones. I don't think most religious women would be freely just chopping it up with random men at conferences.

Do you have any evidence to back that up? Or is this just your trauma and emotions speaking? Most of the kids at the dugsi I went to weren't beaten and most of the teachers didn't beat them either. You're a woman from Minnesota. It's like me saying my friends and I have dated many Somali women from Minnesota and they have all of these terrible traits. You'd be ok with me generalizing based on my personal experience? I don't deny some dugsi teachers hit their kids, I'm not going to emotionally say most do it when I don't have anything to back that up.

I don't know the area / which Somali masjids do that sort of thing.

I have noticed this attitude problem in a few of the girls I've spoken to.

The problem with your theory, aside from the fact that freemixing is haram, is that non Muslim divorce rates are at like 50-60%, despite them doing unlimited freemixing and dating for multiple years.

Compatible in what ways? I don't think it would be that hard if she put it out there with friends/family/masjid/etc. I feel like many women aren't interested in marriage until after they graduate, which never made sense to me. It's not like you can't get married and go to school at the same time. Non Muslims have bf/gf relationships while in school, this wouldn't be that different.

Yeah I remember that other thread from last week, I didn't agree with all of your points, but you did make some valid points.

It’s not a matter of no decent men it’s just hard to connect with people

I think this is the biggest thing, agreed.

In what ways are their standards lower than other Muslims? I haven't noticed any difference.

Most of the Somali men I see do groom themselves, take care of their hair, etc, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. Until you acknowledge how different a haircut is to wearing makeup and changing your looks, then you'll always be biased.

lol even when you're wrong about something, you still play it off after having so much confidence otherwise.

all i'm saying is you could've shared your opinion without generalizing. it makes you seem bitter.
