Why is there such a lack of inter-diaspora marriages?

This is an extremely odd phenomenon to me, and I just can’t seem to understand it. The world now is more globalized than ever, yet Somali people seem unwilling to date outside of their own towns/cities let alone diasporas. I think this is also why marriages with ajnabi have increased too nowadays. Somali people are very lazy daters you never hear of any LDR success with them for a reason. Yet they have the audacity to complain about the dating pool lmfaooo.

As immigrants, we should not have strong ties to our passport countries. Go meet people in USA, UK, Scandinavia, Gulf, Australia, Africa there’s a plethora of options out there for you if you look hard enough.

Most people don’t date people from different continents and date within their own borders. Not a somali issue.

Right ? Plus long distance relationships are trash

Yeah because most people are in their ethnic homelands. I’ve got more in common with a Somali from Lithuania than a white Brit.

My point was we don’t travel the world as much, meeting new people. A lot of these people can’t think past their hometown. You would think for a demographic who complain about the dating pool as much as they do they would be willing to expand it, but no.

Well in these long distance relationships, somebody will eventually have to move to bridge the gap. Moving to a whole new country, far away from your family and support system, isn’t easy and not a lot of people want to do it.

LDR rarely works, there is always some sort of falling out.

when you marry someone, you also marry into their family. all it takes is one family member from other side to have a difference and marriage isn't happening. could be a fault of your clan you belong to, could be your ethnicity, could be the town you;'re from.

Personally I couldn't care less about relocation etc I know dudes who'd jump at the opportunity to marry say an American or Australian halimo and stay there forever. But I mean the uk is universally recognised as a sithole now.

Interdiaspora marriages are uncommon but they still happen. I personally know and have heard people from my tiny diaspora do it (live in scandinavia).

It usually happens when someone studies outside of their host country and meets one there or it happens through family and friends.

Scandis are always marrying Reer UK. It isn’t rare.
