why somali woman lighten their skin.

[kambuli]

Foolxumow,

Haddii uu qofku wax ka hadlo, khasab maaha inuu qofku ka hadlayo naftiisa...Aan kuu faanee, walee aniga iyo madow kala fogin, aniga iyo foolxiumo kala fogin, aniga iyo nin inaan desprate uu ahaadaana kala fog...Simply you do not know me...

[Raaxeeye!]

Com' on ppl

If someone girls start shaving their heads tomorrow, is it because men want them that way or is it about their choice ?


Trust me, this is another way of their competitive nature among themselves, it has nothing to do with men.

P.S. The darker the juicier.

[Gedo_Boy]

For me, I think features are what count more than light or dark skinned.............but fake light skin is just a betrayal...........be happy w/ what you got.

A girl who was darker than another girl can stilll be prettier.......

I wanted to be at least 6ft tall.........guess what, it didn't happen, but that doesn't mean I'm going to break my legs like some Chinese have done to get taller.

be happy w/ what you got.

[sadeboi]

how do you get taller by breaking your legs?..acudubillah..thats extreame

[Advocatar]

girls dont do what they do to theirself for guys........they do it for other girls, like proving something.


am I the only nigga here that understand chick mentality.............motherhell.

[sadeboi]

advo..i know most guys think girls do all this stuff and more to impress guys..when they most worry about other girls...the girls mentaility is "i bet i can look better then her if....." so they do some of those "if's"

[Advocatar]

SB apti we lightyears ahead of these niggas.............chick mentality aint that sophisticated as they put it.

Somali women die their skin because of a serious cultural problem.



just like others have said in thread they are not the only ones that do that. It’s a cultural problem all around the world. Not just to be whiter skin. Blonde hair.etc .

where does this come from “the colonized world”.
White =power=good=beauty=pure=hierarchy=etc

There are many images of white “being better” all over the world



with religion Christianity Jesus(peace be upon him) is depicted with blond hair and blues eyes

pop-cultural you have black rappers choosing lighter skin girls in their videos.

In China you have Chinese reconstructing their eyelids . Check this site out

etc.



also about the light skin thing again
Genetically and generally women have tendency to be lighter then men. But of course not in all cases but just generally.

. so dark women and men usually associate with feminity with light skin and dark skin with masculinity.

[Advocatar]

I dont think anybody wants to be or look like white people [ cus they are more pink then white themselfs ] but rather lightskin............it's not a case of ''better'', it's case of ''prettier'', nothing to do with racial complex.

[sadeboi]

again advo you hit the nail...

dude i don't think any somali wants to be 'pink' or have blonde hair or blue eyes..they just get a little lighter complextion more yellow thats it....

im sorry but somalis don't really see white people as being beautiful really ..with the exception of norwegians and some eastern europeans...

i mean we have we mostly tall with narrow features soft hair...nice black reddish or lighter skin...and we damn beautiful too look like some pale white guy and some big noses..i swear i've seen a lot of white with big noses

advocator and Sadeboi.

Personally, why do you think Somali women in particular dye it then?

[karkaar]

people stop suger coating ish...If a chick uses that ish, point blank, she has some serious self esteem problem..Ain't no way out of it, period.

[sadeboi]

same reason why white men and women or shall I say pale people get a tan every week...why people get boob job..nose job...liposection and all other things..everyone in this world has an image of what beauty is and every person wants to be beautiful simple as that..nothing in particular about Somali culture or western coloniziation or anything of that sort its more of generation thing..this generation (half of century) are seriously obbsessed with being beautiful and will do whatever it takes to be beautiful...honestly its simple as that..however I don't think Somalis get plastic surgery and are as extreame as some other ethnicities and what nto..some women only lighten thier skin...


karkaar thnx for sharing that ish
