Is this true about Somalis? I know we are arrogant.

''The Somalis are much convinced that they are beautiful. If somebody pays a compliment to a woman, telling her that she is beautiful he will meet an indifferent facial expressions, meaning: "Who doubted that I am beautiful?''

(Somalia and the World: Proceedings of the International Symposium Held in Mogadishu on the Tenth Anniversary of the Somali Revolution, October 15-21, 1979, Volume 2)

This quote just made laugh and somewhat reminds me of Somali girls in general. Though both Somali sexes have large quantity of Kibir/Arrogance...the Somali females out do the Somali males.

[BuuloXubeey]

So we throw away every Somali book published during 1969- till 1990? Dude get over it

What does the quote have to do with the revolutionary government? More irony to u! Somalis and their indho adeeg.

That's my point exactly,but you obviously needed to connect it to the "revolutionary government"
As is apparent

[Based]

But......that was the source of the quote.

I think you're reading a little too much into this thread

[ToughGong]

Could be,but I have my doubts

[CushiticReflections]

Yes, though I wouldn't call it arrogance. Why should any woman bat an eye if anyone calls her beautiful? The compliments I like best are the ones that focus on my personality or other non-physical attributes.

But don't women in general from all background like men to compliment their physical beauty? Look at lyrics, poems etc. Also when a bloke flirts first thing he sees is her physical look before the persona. But I see what u mean, as a Somali ur different I guess like ur other Somali female counterparts. Suuro ayaad idin lagu yaqaana
