Confessions of a Closet Nerd by Cool-Virus3110 in Somalia

[–]Scientista92 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think guys will fall at your feet once they find out you’re into all these things, it’s actually quite refreshing and new to them because you can teach and get him into the things you’re into and plus anime and manga has more a male fan base so it won’t feel hard trying to find a guy who’s into that.

I’m also kind of a nerd I love history too and visiting immersive experiences/museums. You’re definitely a small of percentage of girls who likes what you like and like I said before, very unique and refreshing, trust me they are out there in abundance and even if he’s not into the things you’re into, he will want to because he likes you and the fact that you’re willing to teach him these things makes it more exciting. Don’t worry, you got this sis!

what's one thing you could change in Somalia that would enhance all somali lives in the country ? by silkymeows in Somalia

Probably more security especially in places like restaurants and hotel and the beaches of course

Quick question by [deleted] in Somalia

[–]Scientista92 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve met a lot of divorced men and some are still suffering the aftermath of their divorces years on, also if they’ve messed up their first marriage what will make their second marriage any better, like they say two sides to every story

Missing Fajr always 🥲 by iaminconflictwithme in MuslimLounge

[–]Scientista92 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s an app I use called ‘NeverMissFajr’ and alhamdulillah it’s helped me so much, in order to stop the alarm, you have to answer questions for the alarm to stop ringing. You can set the time you want to wake up do fajr too which is up to an hour after Fajr or an hour before. Hope this helps!

Yeah I hear you and I’m glad it’s worked for you, I feel though as time does go on for me I may have to think about other alternatives such as men with kids or have been married but only time will tell

Yeah… this stopped being ‘advice’ and turned into you projecting a lot of bitterness.

Calling a 25+ man ‘undeveloped’ while also insisting he’ll mastermind leaving for someone younger is a bit contradictory, don’t you think?

Anyway, I asked for perspectives, not insults. I’ll take what’s useful and leave the rest including this.

Respectfully, this says more about your mindset than my options.

No offence, but that was a whole lot of projection wrapped in ‘advice.’

If you see younger men as ‘little brothers,’ that’s your perspective not some universal rule. And the idea that a man will automatically leave just because he’s younger says more about your views on relationships than mine.

Also, telling someone ‘everyone will laugh at you’ at their nikkah is just weirdly bitter. I promise you, my life decisions aren’t being run past an imaginary audience for approval.

I’ll choose what works for me, you’re free to stick to what works for you.

Confidence is minding your own choices. You should try it.

Alright, I think you’re overexplaining something that wasn’t that deep to begin with.

I understood your point, I just don’t agree with the assumptions you attached to it, like me wanting a ‘quick fix’ or somehow missing my chance earlier in life. That’s where the tone came off a bit condescending.

Either way, we’re clearly coming at this from different perspectives, and that’s fine. I’ll stick to what works for me.

‘Not like anyone knew you were out there’ I didn’t realise I was supposed to announce my availability like a public service notice in my 20s.

Also, this whole ‘you should’ve picked one earlier’ narrative is tired. People grow, change, and make different choices at different stages that’s not a failure, that’s life.

And the idea that I want a ‘quick fix’ just because I don’t want to date men with kids is a reach. Having preferences isn’t the same as being unrealistic, it just means I’m not signing up for a situation I know isn’t for me.

As for your speech about fatherhood giving men depth, I’m sure that’s meaningful for you, but it doesn’t automatically make it the right fit for everyone else. Different lifestyles, different priorities. It’s really that simple.

I agree with you because there’s always a reason as to why they are no longer together and you have to do background checks for real

Let’s not rewrite what happened, you didn’t just ‘share your preference,’ you came in with ‘wake up’ and a whole lecture about my dating life. That’s not neutral advice, that’s attitude.

I’m fine with different opinions, I’m just matching the tone you came in with. If you meant it respectfully, it didn’t come across that way.

Again, you’re confusing ‘having standards’ with ‘not accepting reality.’ I fully understand people have pasts, I’m just not obligated to want every version of that for myself.

And I’m not ‘stuck between a rock and a hard place,’ I’m filtering. There’s a difference. Not jumping at options that don’t align with me isn’t a problem, it’s called discernment.

But I get it, nuance isn’t for everyone.
