why somalis are inconsiderate and ashamed of love?

[sahal80]

Out of reer badiyenimo and lack of social order!

In out side of africa, people are very generous emotionally and financially

Having seen many cultures, believe me the hardest place to live on is somalia

The somali women exactly or any couples generally are ashamed of their love, you don't see them having one phto of them in their face books, or house, acting so in the outside

The other thing somali have in common is lack of consideration and careful thought. This sign shows being less intelligent!.

I can't believe that to be the case. PDA is one thing, you don't really see that at all on the continent, but being in love (when it actually happens lol) is a blessed and beautifult thing, and I'm quite sure families celebrate when their children have found a healthy and happy union, mashallah.

Maybe outside of Hargeisa it's different lol. You gotta understand that you won't normally see affection being expressed if you're around. Why should they? You don't know what occurs behind closed doors, so don't assume that if they're not in arms reach of each other, that they're cold and ashamed of love when no one is around lol. Otherwise you're mom will be there telling u to chill out and find a room loll

In either case, I can fall on the fact that I'm both mixed and raised outside of Somalia, so I dare someone to tell me to xoshod *sp?*.

There could be few cases but the old-fashioned forms exist strongly in the majority

The other point is being oversensitive maybe as africans or being inconsiderate wich comes from the deep-rooted badiya culture

Even you can't compare them with the habasha in this

Somalia is hard place to live on.

Go to any somali place, you would see people staring at you, reading your lips, standing behind you and reading what your reading and those who haven't paid shyt yet are barking at you!.

Couple the stoic practicality of Somali nomadic culture with austere conservatism and you have yourself a superbly dull and sombre society.

the real love is what happens behind closed doors, affection in the middle of streets is not love, its basar-xumo, show off etc. somali women feel disrespected if their men hold their hands or lean to kiss in public areas, i believe thats good culture. haliimoos says "alla! maxay huuro iska jaqeen" if they see gaalo couple kissing on tv

[Octavius]

Somalis are not ashamed of love, the expression of love and the public discourse of it is deeply entrenched in our culture, music and poetry. One of the most remarkable Somali poems ever penned is "Jacayl dhiig ma lagu qoray" "Has love been blood written".

Time-separated in spirit
In body as by a thorn fence
Sworn to each other
One morning have two
After first soaking rain
The damp mist dense
In an unpeopled place
Where apart from the trees
Nothing stirred
Become aware
Of each other’s rustle

Did that true meeting
Seem a vision to them
Brought by love’s plight
Or its mirage
From time to time
As if suddenly waking
Out of a dream
Did their speech
Desiring utterance
Pass from a mouth
If just a howl
Did words elude them
Was the situation soured by this
