How would your family react if you met someone online?

Ignorant and a hothead, i hope your kids avoid my kids, I don't want them to be influenced by fatherless gangsters

You are calling me ignorant? pls speak for yourself. I can’t stand narrow minded individuals such yourself who think their opinions are facts. I suggest you get out from whatever rock you’ve being living under and go out and see how other people live and view things. Your way is not the only way.
Now I’m done with this nonsense, carry on if you want.

THO, 'moan'? Don't be so patronizing. It's not befitting of someone like you.

I agree with you though (I haven't read much of the thread), in that if you let your parents dictate your marriage you could be in hot water. Your parents know you best, and will usually want what's best for their children. Some parents have it backwards though, and I am sure everyone here can appreciate what that means:
- They insist that their child marries someone who brings social and financial prestige - if not, naya what are you doing with this clown, doqon foqol doqon (lol)
- Someone they feel they can mooch off (some mothers will insist their daughter demand absurd things from the fiance so that she looks better to the community 'oh inanti Ahmed Mohamed Sheikh asked for a 30k wedding, did you see the hall, it was gorgeous, and he bought her a car as the mehir gift etc etc' If you marry one of the Dahabshiil sons, fine, but not everyone can comfortably pull all those stops. Unfortunately, not all Somalis are rational or have anything concerning naxriis. Sad.
- Some mothers and fathers just bla bla bla into their son/daughter's ears and it can eventually destroy relationships.

They are special cases lol, and not all Somalis are like this thank God.

Men and women need to know if they're going to take their parents advice as gospel then it sure as hell better be coming from a good head.

BTW, I have met some very good people off this site, and a lady who I sincerely didn't expect to admire and respect as much as I do. So hell yes, to this thread.
