"We value Aquiline/Traditional Somali Features over Complexion"
Hot take but I feel like a decent amount of our diasporan community doesn't know this.
Like I wouldn't be surprised if there were dark skin xalimos that assumed they weren't getting approached just because they were dark skin. Especially if these chicks are a bit too big or ugly. No ones is telling them they're ugly or big so they're just assuming it's because they're dark.
We also have a bunch of young Somalis in the diaspora that weren't raised in communities packed with somalis. Some of the young darkskin Somali women raised in the communities probably weren't being approached because some of the young Somali men around them were only chasing after Cadaans and lightskins

. These is common dating problem that happens with all black people that live in predominantly white areas though.
I legit grew up in one of the Blackest regions of American. I've seen all types of darkskin madow women in relationships with black men my whole life. Cultured black men overall don't have any problem with dating darkskin women. The only darkskin Madow women struggling to date right now here in america either live in areas with small black communities or are just too ugly.
