This is me being biased against online dating but good thing on deleting those apps. It's a detached, lowered down version to actually interacting people. I think it's less about you not connecting to somali guys and more about online dating being so low effort. There is no engagement when you're sitting in your room swiping left or right on people based on a few pictures and a few sentences.
Do you have a friend of a friend that is single?

Are you a practising Muslim? I know many single Muslim men who are serious but you must be a practising Muslim and without a past.
Are those men you referring to "without a past"?

You’ll see me purchasing a body bag if my husband ever pulled that crap

Omg I’ve heard the same. A colleague of my friend met this guy and things were going well, one day she calls him on his regular phone and an angry wife with a baby in the background answers and she’s like ‘maxaa rabtaa? Why you calling my husband?’
I have so many horror stories from gfs and even guy friends to know dating apps are just full of the worse type of people( and often with bad intension).
@Onyxbrainster defo stay away. InshaAllah covid will pass and the world will open up more.
@Onyxbrainster is an american, there are many european faraxs after her passport.
Hi, hope you're doing well.
Its, a rat race out there, a jungle to be precise and online dating has made everyone jaded, the guys you connect with online have probably come across their fair share of game playing and flaky girls and online amplifies this 5×. Now, everyone is game playing to protect their ego.
From my experience, men are just a lot more serious if they meet you in person, or through a friend ect. When it comes to apps regardless of how pretty you are or amazing your personality is, you're just a picture behind a screen that can potentially be a catfish.

I feel like this is just the tip of the dating app iceberg. Books can be written on bad tinder dates. Literally volumes and collections of books.

Maybe there is no married option on the site and they were looking for second wives?
Isn't it obvious ? married man goes to dating sites to pretend they single
I definitely do think Instagram is a better option, they can see your pics, what you're into and mutual people you might both know.
I think dating apps like Muzmatch have changed the game in good and bad ways, many men definitely do see these apps as a game and waste women's time for shits and giggles, but on the flip side, I have a lot of friends that have married using that app. One thing they did say is that dating apps are a numbers game, so you do end up matching with a lot of people before you find someone that is suitable. So I don't know if OP should give up, just yet. Maybe, she should widen her filter to Somalis in other countries.
You have to be careful though, I don't know about Canada, but I think the whole of the UK are on muzmatch. Better options, but more chance of qarxis.
So, is it similar in Canada?

Dating is over in 2021 and the pandemic will be here for another 2 years so your best bet is to use word of mouth via your qabiil network. Online dating is trash and if you use it, you are going to die alone. Be proactive with your search and make istikhara. Inshallah you get what you're looking for
