How Does One Find A Suitor For A Niece?

The "dating" world can be hostile and the simple fact that the number of well-established brothers in the dating game are dwindeling doesn't help the situation.
Back to our parents' generation, people were decent, men knew how to undertake the task of marriage, they were responsible ever before they reached the age 20.
Everywhere I look these days, I see no man worthy of my two nieces who have reached their prime ages for marriage. They are both educated, one has completed her studies, while the other one attends a prestigious university, they are both attractive and come from good homes (walaahi, I do not lie).
Just a few days ago, one of my nieces said to me "Abti, what happened to good Somali men?" and it struck me right there and then that this problem must be bigger than we like to think.
What is going on with the brothers? When are going to take care of our women, before another man does the job??

91, the masjid is always a good place to look! I keep asking myself where are all the good Somali sisters? so it must be due to lack of communication?

@Biif Baaf,
I know the mosque is the best place to find a future husband for a niece/daughter, but will such men live up to the expectations of the women??

FAH1223,
Until I talked to her, walaahi I never even saw things from their perspective! I guess women have it worse then, specially with their biological clock ticking?

Its like saying "Leave a piece of meat outside, while a pack of hungary hyenas roam the streets"...??
Besides, I didn't expect some Sijui from Wajir to understand things...in your land, women are nothing but a commodity!

Waryaa Koronto, you got jokes huh? Anyways, I was born & raised in Xamar, never saw Wajir, eventhough they tell me its my father's country! If you look close enough, there a lot of good men out there, just look in the right places.

I met a half Somali brother on campus Musallah to pray duhur, his aabo is Somali and his hooyo is like from Trinidad...he speaks no somali at all either

I don't know if a wadaad will do for girls these days. They may find a wadaad un-cool or not hip?
