What are Some Red Flags in Somali Men?

[Rockstar]

Whenever you wake up in the morning, you wake up with average good energy and average bad energy. So you wake up with 50% bad energy and 50% good energy. You open your window and take in fresh air and stare into the sky, and your good energy increases. Think of these energies as two separate health bars above your head like in fighting games (Tekken, etc). Whenever you get angered, your bad energy increases, if you retaliate, you expend your bad energy and it lowers. Whenever something good happens, your good energy increases, and if you do something good for someone else, you expend a small amount of it because you actually gain good energy from helping people.

Now, there is a rare phenomenon. It is when bad energy doesn't change, but your good energy just goes down. It lowers and lowers and on and on, till you don't feel good and jolly any more. In most cases, it is caused by other people. These people (even on a date) will a drain on your good energy. Nobody knows why, but they just lower and lower your good energy. By the end of it, you will not be feeling happy.

Jasmine, I hate to say it, but you are one of those people.

Whoa, Jasmine. That's a pretty detailed list you got there. You must be really experienced with men.

[BlackVelvet]

I was reading that post and waiting for you to get to your point. You're an arse. I can't believe I read such a thorough explanation of your insult.

Whoa, Jasmine. That's a pretty detailed list you got there. You must be really experienced with men.

After my third marriage I thought I should write a book so that other women may learn from my mistakes.

where do you want him to live, homeless?

[SavySallySupersedes]

On his own. He should be able to take care of himself without being a burden to others.

[IRONm@N]

living with your family doesn't mean you are burden to them. you could be the one supporting them. most Somali men work at that age and usually pay the rent for their parents and give them ride.
why would you run away from you home for each one of you to pay separate expensive rent, and rely other ppl to take care of your parents or your parent to take a taxi or bus.

[FAH1223]

Over 22 and living at home. It is fantastic.

I pay bills, I work, I help my family and contribute to the household. I'm no burden to anyone.

You're labeling and generalizing shows you really think in black and white when there's a lot of grey in the world.

You're wrong. I see the world in terms of power and access respective to the intersectionality of race, gender and socioeconomic status. I'm not labeling anyone, so I don't know how you're making these inferences?

I still think Somali guys, in the aggregate sense, hate responsibility and would do anything to avoid upholding their share. Just my observation.

You live in a world of books and theories.

And you're using your own experiences to label and generalize. There's no beating the bush around it.

I take offense to people who think I live at home cause of not wanting responsibility or putting me into a barrel of idiots who fit that mold. I probably have incurred more responsibility in the last 20 months than most people my age.

So, you're saying that my father walking out on my family is why I label and generalize Somali men? Would you like us all to applaud you for taking on responsibility? To recognize your efforts and tenacity? To celebrate just how much responsibility you have? You're not doing anything amazing.

See, I am right. Somali men would rather avoid responsibility, but when they're fulfilling their obligations, they want to be celebrated. Boy, please.

I don't need to be celebrated for doing what I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. I'm my parent's oldest kid, I'm supposed to do what I do. I'm just laying a fact. And there's plenty of Somalis doing that but you ignore it and focus on the negatives

And yes, your father walking out on you is your problem and you label all Somali men with it. It's pretty clear. Or you had a Somali boyfriend who messed around with your emotions or something to that fact. Or you just hate Somali men for how Somalia is in it's current condition.

Whatever it is, you have a vendetta

You're always talking about how you work 2 jobs and you're the sole provider as if we're supposed to stare incredulously in awe. You wouldn't talk so much about work if you didn't want everyone to know what you do, whether or not it's salaried, what you do on the weekends, and how many bills you pay, etc. We get it. You want us to acknowledge a young Somali guy who is a college graduate without a criminal record.

I should know my place and not speak unkindly to someone who's defied the odds.

As for my father, I'm planning to see him this summer to work out some unresolved issues. Your attempt to make me feel like shit didn't work. I'm not afraid to talk about things that are vulnerable in nature.

Top class trolling
