Somali Matrimonial Event

[Ubax45_]

Would you attend a matrimonial event for Somali's? (if you were at that stage of your life, of course)
An advertisement for one was posted on facebook and people took it as a joke, yet other communities take these events seriously.

Share your thoughts

*No somali female/male bashing please, not interested in fighting about atheism, christianity blabla..etc we have 100 threads of that. Thread geared towards people that want to/would consider marrying within.

I think its a good way for educated professionals to meet up and find their match especially since like it seems that Educated Somali Females can't find an equally as educated Somali man and Educated Somali men seem to go back to somalia to find a wife, every other community takes it seriously i don't know why ours take it as a joke, makes me think we aren't as mature as the other muslim communities.

 

[Arman]

Probably not.

 

[dhegdheer]

No way, looks awkward

 

[Mohamud]

Perhaps.

But I don't trust Somali organization skills. I don't wanna walk into an event just to have Hodon Nalaye shove a camera in my face and ask me why I'm so desperate

There's a Muslim one that brings people together, It works for some people. Somalis should have one too. Watch the people there gossip about who went and what went on lol.

You'd probably have to add a disclaimer 'NO MARRIED FARAXS'

That said, it's interesting how you point out that most other Muslim communities take it very serious. Even some other non-Muslim communities take it far more serious than us. I remember going to some SA society party with a friend of mine and some cadaans for shits and giggles and quite a LOT of conversations held there was centred around marriage and I doubt anyone there was over 23 at the time.

I think it is a good idea to be honest. The Somali community seems lacking and a basic service like this would go a long way. Personally, I wouldn't attend because it's far too formal for me and I don't think I'd get what I'm after from there. But I do support it because it seems Somalis are far less involved in finding their children a suitable match while nontheless being very critical of any potentials introduced by their children.

On a serious note, Somali women have it rough.

There aren't enough educated, single bachelors in our community and that is expounded by the fact that there are more Somali women in the West than there are men.


Step it up Faaraxs, set a good example, get an education and a decent job, otherwise your future daughters will bring home James Gingerbeard.

[waraabe]

Lol! Privacy and organization are not exactly our strong points.

That's very immature but will most likely happen.

I didn't specify Muslim, I was referring to all immigrant communities, it's interesting to hear your experience with SA.

Other communities are thinking of how to best set up their futures financially ,socially..etc and marriage plays a big role in that.

women are forced to lower/change their standards.

 

[SIR-RIGHTEOUS]

women are forced to lower/change their standards.

I would tell these women to maintain their standards and NOT marry losers. This will force losers to either step up their game or settle for less.
If you reward a loser with marriage, he won't change his ways.

Somali sisters are best served marrying good Somali men back home and and building a life there OR marrying men from Muslim ethnic groups similar to Somalis like Oromos or Sudanese.

The men back home still want to be brought to the west, it's a gamble.

What's a bigger risk, ruining your bloodline with someone who is either a dimwit, a dimwit criminal or an unambitious weakling or someone who is driven but MAY want a Western passport.

Why shouldn't you guys give the somali men back home a chance? There are some with University education and have skills and just need an opportunity, I have seen other muslim women marry men from their home countries so why not somali women? My cousin married from Somalia because she was having a hard time finding a spouse in the west, and it worked out perfectly.
Its only gonna get worse and worse because i don't see the ratios improving at all

The first scenario is definitely a bigger risk which no one should take. But it's also important to see some challenges with marrying from back home especially when you bring them here (which may take awhile) it can be emasculating to start from scratch and rely on your wife for everything. Both parties have to be very committed.

Strong name to post correlation.
