Anyone else into Chubby Halimos

[Man with a garuun]

No.

During our grandmother's generation, women being fat before marriage was seen as not the norm. Women were prized for having 'dhaax yaar'.

Fatness and chubbiness is a new phenomenon found in the city. Our original culture is found in the meey and many poems talks about the maarin qalanjo with a long neck and small waist.

I've never heard of what you claimed here. Somalis used to say "waxaas oo xalus ah ayuu dhex dabaashaa" when they were describing chubby women ans their husband.

Fyi, chubby women can have dhex yar as well.

Ask anyone. You find references to qalanjo qoor dheere everywhere, from old poems, to music ect.

Ask your hooyo, your gran, your abo or anyone on this forum.This obsession with obesity is something that only started in the last 30 years. We are a nomadic group and men and women were physically active. Young women were expected to be slim and with a small waist. Being fat was always associated with matrons. Basically married women who have birthed a few kids.

Also that mahmah is most definitely a new one, something city folk have only been saying in the last 30-40 yrs.

Fyi- being fat but with a small waist is not common. Even the pictures the OP posted shows that these women have significant abdominal fat. There is a difference between curvy and fat btw.

Women are tired of being shamed for their body, its okay to be healthy and big boned too you know? Skinny women are known as ;naag baqtiday'.# back home now, beauty standards have changed.

The chubby women can have qoor dheer, dhex yar, and be qalanjos. I dont know what world you're living in, but they've always been the favored. But I guess we can agree to disagree sis.

Anyhow, some chubby women can be seen below:

The 1st and 3rd aren't fat. They're curvy and a bit chubby.


Women with over 40% fat which are the women being posted tend to have big stomachs. When you have a lot of fat, it is impossible for all the fat to go everywhere except the waist. Also, people with long necks have it because their necks are slim. How does one have a long neck, and be fat?!

I told you, ask your family ask anyone from the older gen if fat women were always seen as favorable.

Anyways, this shouldn't even be about what is attractive. As Somalis we have high rates of diabetes and heart problems. Stop encouraging obesity which leads to this just because of your attraction. This is wrong.

I think diabetes and stuff are fake propaganda, women are outliving men in Somalia. Our hooyos can be big sized and live 100 say mashallah

No, it isn't. I have a lot of family back home that had to be flown to India for diabetes treatments and other ailments. A lot of the older generations both men and women in the Somali community have an array of health problems due to their unhealthy diets and lifestyle. Its a massive issue and I see it in my family and the haboyars, edos, adeeros ect around me. One the 1st things doctors tell patients is to lose weight.

This isn't propoganda. I know you're trolling, but even a ten year old can tell you this is a real issue in the community.

Maybe certain isolated cases but it isnt an epidemic as you portray to to be. Women outlive men back home this is 100% fact. The are more healthier too, since they do most of the housework

You got too much propaganda in your head. Chubby women doesn't mean they have diabetes. We've diabetic relatives who are the skinniest folks around,. Besides, if you're calling those women not chubby, then we don't see the same way.

Lastly, someone is chubby doesn't mean they're unhealthy. We've seen chubby who can run faster than anyone and live almost 100.

I guess we can agree to disagree. It comes down to preferences, it seems.

Women outliving men means nothing, as women outlive men in every community regardless of background. Being obese and an unhealthy diet increases strokes, diabetes, heart attack, cancer ect. This is basic health science that you should know.

Lastly, someone is chubby doesn't mean they're unhealthy. We've seen chubby who can faster than anyone and live almost 100.

Again, that is mostly due to their unhealthy diet. Some people end up with fatty livers instead of gaining weight, which is just as dangerous. Fatness does indeed/can lead to health problems. That is a fact.

Call it propaganda, call it whatever, but one of the main causes of type 2 heart problems is obesity. Even with diabetic patients, doctors tell them that they must lose weight.

I can't believe i'm debating with you over basic science, just because you fancy fatness.

This guy is making a joke out of serious matter. Did you know bypass surgeries are popular now in Turkey with Somali women. Very dangerous what these xoolo are promoting

All doctors even back home like to do surgeries because they earn more money through that. It is the same in the US. You need to come up another reason, smartie.

I don't get the problems these people have with beautiful chubby women.

Chubby women can shake it too! I'm pretty sure @Angelina can do niiko like that beautiful chubby sis lol

Nah women body are meant to he high percentage fat as it is good for baby making and femininity. Notice how skinny girls are now getting BBL and hip injections in order to copy bigger girls. Even the West has caught on to the phase.

There is a difference between curvy and fat.

Kim Kardashian, Ashanti ect- curvy.
Most of the women YOU posted- fat.

Yes, being curvy with big hips ect is healthy. Having a body fat % of 40 isn't.

There is a big difference. No woman is paying to look like what you posted in the West.
