@paragon I'm expensive for a reason. It's a strategy to keep the unwanted away. How do you know about my standards since I haven't mentioned them? All I did was relay information about what my friends are reporting on the frontlines, although it appears disconcerting, they're keeping their chins up.
I don't think I have the patience to endure the dating scene. My parents will never suggest anyone either. The network of my friends consists of people I know. And if nothing has transpired then, it won't now.

I can't do anything about old school Somalis and their opinion about women over the age of 25. I'm not their type and they aren't mine. It's mutual disinterest. I'm not here to change their mind. I would prefer a guy that isn't intimidated by a Xalimo his own age or one that makes just as much as him if not more.
@SimplySerene Thanks and welcome sis.

If only he knew that marriage between people age 30-34 (in this day and age) has higher marital success rates compared to their younger counterparts. I should also add that buffers against divorce also include higher educational attainment, religious participation and sexual abstinence before marriage. So, don't fret. I concur with your theory. Being a good relative, friend, neighbour, citizen and building yourself up intellectually and spiritually are preparation for being a better spouse and parent in the future. It's part and parcel.
