Are my standards too high?

I’m a guy who’s in his mid 20s and I’m at a point where I really need to start thinking seriously about marriage and I’m curious if my standards are higher, lower or Average for a typical Somali guy.

1. I want a somali wife. The idea of marrying a ajanabi is alien to me and I’d feel like I’d just be so disconnected from them, not to mention marriage is more than a connection between two people but a connection between different families, I seriously don’t know how intercultural/interracial marriages work out but I’d suspect it’s really challenging. Somali women are also just beautiful on another level to me, there’s a unique love I have for them that I don’t think I could have with non-Somalis.

2. She has to be Muslim. As long as she believes in god I’m okay, she doesn’t have to be a great Muslim just one whose faith is there. I can’t imagine marrying a gaal.

3. She has to be chaste. As someone who’s been chaste and avoided attention from women their whole lives I’d expect the same of my partner. Basically someone who’s stayed away from anything sexual towards another person physically, I don’t care if they masturbate or have watched “corn”.

4. She needs to be at least kinda cute/pretty, I need to find something about her that I like, whether that’s her eyes or something else, she can be a 3/10 to other people as long as she’s at least a 7/10 in my eyes.

5. she’s can’t be morbidly obese, I don’t mind her being overweight to a degree but when she start to look physically disfigured then I can’t say yes to that, in other words I’d expect no higher than a BMI of around 28, I don’t mind some chub chub.

6. I need a sweet and kind women, one who’s very caring and is quick to offer love and help towards those in need and I mean for anyone not just myself. Something about loving and caring women is so attractive to me that if she was physically a 5/10 she’d jump to a 10/10 if she was a kind and caring human being. Behaviour overrides looks to me in that regard.

7. she can’t be too much younger or older than me, I’d say around 22-28 is the sweet spot for me as they’d at least be around my age, marrying women who’re too much younger feels like I’d be taking care of a daughter and marrying women who too much older would feel like I’m being looked after by a mother lol. I prefer a partner who’s closer in mental maturity/experience to me.

All in all that’s my standards, I know however that peoples standards are flexible when they meet someone they genuinely like so I’d probably be flexible too.

You’re right but people who have too high a standard usually end up alone, I’m tryna check myself before I wreck myself.
Nothing about your standards are high though.

If you said "oh I want a young 20 year old 10/10 who cooks/cleans and pays all of my bills despite the fact that I'm broke and fat and have no social life" then yeah I would've agreed your standards would be incredibly high.

There are people with that mind state btw ^

Thanks for the conformation, it’s comforting.

It's not a bad requirement,
Just a hard sell sometimes
But there's still hope as it is
Still very normal to want that.

So, just remember though at the end of the day no matter how chaste two people have been it matters most that how two people feel about each other when actually deciding matters of being in love at a happy marriage.

However if you are living in Somalia it would not be that hard to actually find someone that has been mainly honest truly chaste to themselves due to the area's culture for being Islamic as well as unacceptability of female promiscuity.

y'all are acting like finding chaste somali women in the west is like finding a unicorn. :comeon:There are actually a decent amount that exist.
 
Very reasonable but I would add she has be your cousin
Two of my closest friends are married to their cousins and mashallah is going very strong
 
Where's the proof? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️😉
Never met one, ratchets 😂
I’ve noticed the wilder halimos who have a lack of self control tend to get married really early anyway, it’s the older ones in their 20’s unmarried that tend to have greater self control, are calmer and are able to wave away unwanted attention.

I have a super pretty and kind half cousin I only met within the past couple months that’s around 2 years older than me, didn’t even know of her existence before but I can’t lol 🤣 still my cousin.
