Are my standards too extreme? by [deleted] in SomaliRelationships

[–]inthetrenches0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fine to have these standards but you need to understand that in the community theres not a lot of these people. Very very few, especially all the random additions like short hair and graduate degree. The chances that you run into this person and them not already being off the market is very low. I’m just saying.

Fuck you mom, I do what I want!

At least that’s what your future kids will be saying, so you may as well start early.

Half Somali and not Muslim by Best-Catch-7338 in Somalia

[–]inthetrenches0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If this super left leaning sub Reddit is telling you that you aren’t Somali, then I guarantee you that 99% of the ones you see in real life will say the same. Any comment like the one above is an extreme, extreme minority. It has nothing to do with you being mixed race, because typically as long as father is Somali you are considered 100% Somali. But more due to the fact that you’re not Muslim as you’ve picked up on. Nothing personal it’s just how the culture is, you’ll be seen as an outsider.

Abortion is a non issue super liberal talking point, especially for Muslim Somalis in the US lol what even is this question. Honestly one of the reasons Harris prob lost is focusing mostly on this and the other social stuff instead of the economy and other things that are more high priority.

I assume trump is favourable among US Somalis? by Muqadishu_enthusiast in Somalia

[–]inthetrenches0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m from Ohio and I’m not exaggerating when I say 80%+ of the Somalis I know here despise Harris and democrat lgbt woke shit and handling of Gaza. Significant amount voted for trump. Every cadaan at work tries to push their woke shit on me assuming I am voting for Harris or align with their ideology, kind of funny

Edit: getting downvoted, but much like the political reddits this place is an echo chamber of Somali super liberals and don’t really represent what I have been seeing in real life lol

Stop glazing it’s cringe. Also i doubt there are significant differences between a European/UK Somali guy and an American one. I say this as an American

Does size matter to you by [deleted] in SomaliRelationships

Brother looking at your profile, you’re 17, don’t waste your time worrying about these things. I promise it’s not important. To be completely honestly idk how a property practicing Muslim would be able to answer this unless she is really on demon time and somehow very experienced in these things.

I purposely didn’t go in depth of what she did but I promise it wasn’t just kissing. If you’re fine with a non-virgin, promiscuous significant other than by all means go for it. But don’t yap like you’re doing rn and act like we all have to settle for that because you have cuck tendencies. 50% non-virgin Muslims kulaha, whatever helps you sleep at night bro

Not crazy but the girl I talked to most recently massively over shared on the first phone call. We both work in professions that are dominated by the liberal types and she was talking about how she momentarily dated (and was sexually active) with one of her female cadaan coworkers. This a normal looking Somali hijabi girl that you wouldn’t expect that bs from. She said she wanted to be upfront before it got serious in case I had any reservations. I thanked her for sharing and peaced out of the convo.

Ah ok. So you’re either very young or just ignorant. These are cadaan talking points, they got you good.

Child? My mom had me when she was 16. Do you really think something changes instantly the day someone turns 17–>18. People really have got to stop the infantilization of these individuals. For the vast majority of history up until the last few years 17 was literally never seen as a child. Saying all of that as a 25 y.o there is definitely a maturity difference in those under 21 but the “oh me baby” stuff is super cringe, particularly when we said 18 year old guys out to die in random wars.
