"Habo geesi dili kara...gobonimona hanan kara...hablo talada goyn kara....garashada iskaga mida...quruxdana ka wada goba...geeskeena mooyee...geyi kale ma joogaan"

I like to take this opportunity to express my ideas and everybody is very welcome to comment this article in a positive constructive way.

Salaama Calaykum All

single women say they're looking for a "nice" guys while "nice" guys claim they can't get a date because women always go for "bad" guys and they get pushed aside and often ignored altogether.

Fair enough, but some women will tell you that the only reason they go out with "bad" boys is because they're usually the only available alternative to someone with no life. Sure, these guys are nice, clean-cut, etc., but do they have any passions in life? Are they interested in
anything except finding some mythical "other" who will adopt them and give them a life?

The problem we facing here is the fact that More and more somali women are now judging us based on the standards set by all forms of media. And those standards keep rising and getting more complex... When we set standards....I think things go wrong between men and women because people set their standards too high and are unwilling to compromise on anything less than what they want. When a girl meets a guy, she starts to compare him to some model in her mind without giving him a chance to show what, and who, he is, or what he has to offer her.


My advice to our women is be who you are and accept others as they are. Don't compare them. The reality is often so much better.For those sisters who carry around a "list" of requirements they want in a mate. Even though you have the right to do so, I think that Perhaps you should broaden your horizons!...look for character, integrity and honesty... these are the most
important qualities. A person who has these will respect you and your opinions. All of these are essential for a lasting relationship.

My advice to these guys is to find an interest, cultivate a passion, and when you're a real person with a real life, you'll probably find a match. For those brothers who love to swear and insult others..I will say have some self-respect ... You must value yourself and allow others to value you also. You guys should learn to see things backwards...inside out....and upside down. being open and attentive is more effective then being brutal judgemental characters.

May Allah Shower you His Blessings Amiin!!

peace and Love

SUULDANAKA YOU HIT THE NERVE BRO................

You know what I was thinking about this a little while ago,I posted the topics"what do U like about men"......also"what do U like about women"to find out what do our women need or require in their future partners,I MUST ADMIT THE RESPONSES SHOCKED ME IN A BIG WAY.I didn't expect our somali-sisters to have the same kind of a mentality of a western woman I expected them to be originals have their own agenda not be copy-cats(excuse me for using such a phrase).
As if I was reading an american match-maker magazine!!!
Why do you want to embrace other peoples culture way of thinking when you have your own???
Good sense of humor,good-looking guy,prince charming,loving,caring,passionate,romantic,treats me right!etc..........................an endless list of requirements which are almost impossible in the real world,get real women Mr;perfect don't exist and if you wait around for him you will be the looser,lower your standards and don't copy them faithless westerners after all we're somalis and we have our own culture our own way of doing things we don't need to steal other peoples imaginary dreams.

Suldaanka wot u say make sense, but can't be generalised bro!!

Easy brothers u got us all wrong walaahi!!!
Not all of us got the western way of thinking.

About girls not wanting good men, every woman needs a good man but they tend to be shy not approach the girls. So these (some) poor sistas have to make due with the dogz that tend to get in ur face.

I don't think that any guy should change 4 a woman or vice -versa coz if the person don't love u 4 who u r , they never will.

PS. What the hell does ROMANCE mean???????????

I would like to say thank you ror all brothers and sisters who took the time to respond and post their comments about the above article. Let us express out opinions in a positive way, so that we can all benefit from each other.

Lot of people have a very difficult time recognizing goodness, much less acknowledging or reciprocating it. Being polite and nice may not
be in the dictionary of some of our brothers and sisters but it is the best thing a human being can possibly do.

SULDAANKA
Ha ha ha ha I like the part about List of Requirements that we carry

Im a simple girl who seeks the simple things in life......I don't carry a list of requirements coz if we look around...the word called PERFECTION doesn't exist. We have to make-do with what Allah bestows on us......and no matter how hard we try .....your Calaf has been decided already. What U can afford to do is try to implement and accept the person as they are..

But we can hope and pray that the life partner that U get will be understanding/ mature/ honest and educated(religious & academic).

My MOTTO in life is.......Don't complain, Never Explain.......coz that way U don't have to be accountable for your personal discrepancies and U haven't got the right to judge and complain about others.

Somali girls Nuh!
Not worth it talking about them
ismaldhiqis iyo maalaayacni
I rather go out with the rest of Islam woman.

Suldaanka I heard that before but guess what
it is ok. they can set any standard they want
but when i need them "peace of cake"

Therefore do no waste your time to those
girl who think they are all that.

peace
