I see this repeated on here time and time again as though it's fact. As a an outsider (I'm a white man ) I'd like to give my non biased opinion on the matter.
IMHO Theres actually no difference in attractiveness between the two genders of the somali ethnic group;however, because somali women are represented by models in the media, they're beauty is , dare I say it....... Overblown? Whereas somali guys..................
Moving on, the reason why a lot of very young somali girls are feeling angsty about their marriage options is the same reason that white,black, Asian etc are feeling down about it as well; they have come to realise they'll never marry a guy as attractive as they want, the celebrity types. In fact most women will go on to marry guys more unattractive than them, regardless of their beauty.
I recently went to one to an old high school friends wedding (a WASP like me
) and the groom was one of the dorkiest characters I've ever seen, whereas she was drop dead gorgeous.
I have no answers or solutions but this is the phenomena I've observed. Fifty years ago you could say that women appreciated a mans work ethic more than looks but considering the fact that women are slowly dominating the workforce I don't think that's the case atm.
If you don't think I'm right go look at your parents, I highly doubt any of you have a father who is as handsome as your mother is beautiful.
