''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.

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
