Brothers, Brothers is this 'ego-centricity' that i smell or wax kale? Sister, if ya really, really like the bro .. i mean, hadaad U dhimaneysid...!! The most you as a somaali Queen can do is to drop him hints ... i dunno flick ya hair, flash him one of your biggest grins when ever you see him or get a mutual friend to drop a hint on your behalve... if he doesn't act on this the bre ain't interested!! But 2 ask him out, directly (aah!), why that would be so un-royal! How many Queens have U seen King hunting in the last Million years? ------------------ 'The habit that kicks ya'

Originally posted by Libaax-Sankataabte: Barwaaqo, there is no such thing as love at first sight. If you shake when you see a good looking guy like me, that is called infatuation. It is not love. It is lust. Libaax, the above could be construed as lust. However, if your heart falls out of your chest, on account of seeing a gorgeous gal like me, and u think 'I would like to spend the rest of my waking hrs with this brilliant, fantastic, magnificent creature....' then it WOULD be love at first sight.

Adnaan, I think muna n ladyfatima mnkid told ya as it is. It is Ur duty as a man to pursue the ladies... not the other way arround. Honestly, brothers want everything so easily these days . Libaax, It is lust when U wanna do un-wholly things. It is love at first-sight if ya think, i can be a good husband / wife to that person ... i can make beautiful babies with that person lol see the difference ------------------ 'The habit that kicks ya'

Interesting topic NQ I'm doing a joint degree in Economics and Third World Development. Several other Somali girls do Third World Development with me, and I know many girls who do Politics, Business, media and other subjects, but I haven't yet met another girl who is doing economics. The majority of my economics course are male (including a few Somalis). I'm interested in why many girls don't do this subject (I think its brilliant).

Weris Diiriye is now part of an 'elite' society, where fgm is such an alien concept. The girl, finds her self in a dilema. She must explain, the turture she has undergone as a consequence of being born into such a barbaric (sic) custom. Her detachment to the honourable world of 'nomads' (?) is demonstarted in her world of fiction. What really pisses me off, is the fact that 'miss glamoure' asigns herself as spokes person for somaali women. I know, that she is proberly doing this for persoanl gain....but, WHATEVER happened to my educated somali sisters ... yes, the health proffesionals, the campaigners ... why aren't they doing anything about this....? That is, if it bugs them so much? Going, to the western media is not gonna deter an old somaali woman in the rural villages of somaalia, for whome FGM is most likely all that she has ever known. Many of ya'll are forgeting that people attitude differ from society to society ... and just because we have a problem with a fgm, doesn't mean that sisters back home share our concerns.

I'm on a roll today, so I'll put in my two cents. Abdinuur, thanx bro for saying we are beautiful. I've always thought so too! Nuurto, I'm sorry your relationship broke down. Its normal to feel used, depressed and unhappy after such an event. Just relax and take it easy, think about yourself and make the necessary changes that will make you feel better/happier. And don't despair, not all men are bad. In fact the majority are good. As for men taking advantage of women, I agree with both Hibo and Jaber. I think its the other way round, women take more advantage of men. Like jaber, I have seen more men than women mistreated and abused in their relationships. I wonder why? From my experience, Somali men are honourable, respectable and very protective towards us. Which is why I would never in a million years think of marrying anyone else. So, Nuurto, dust urself off sis, and get back on the saddle

Somaliqueen, Honey, listen to me. DO NOT make the first move, DO NOT ask him out. You wouldn't believe how many of my friends have made this mistake. It never works, because you'll start your relationship from a vulnerable position (thats if he is interested, personally I think if he liked u as much as u like him he would've approached u by now). Take heart, there are plenty more fish in the sea. Let this one go. Maybe it wasn't to be.

Taking a guy's phone number and calling him is equivalent to making the first move or coming on to a guy. WE JUST DON'T DO IT! That is unless its love at first sight. lol

Somali teenagers, like any other teenagers are easily influenced by their peers. They want to fit in and so dress like the ppl that surround them. As they get older they will get their priorities right. Perfect Example ME: In high school, I wouldn't let my sisters talk to me in Somali, I hated my accent and worked really hard at speaking like everyone else. And heaven forbid if I listened to anything other than R&B n hip hop. I tried my best to fit in. These all became less important as I grew up. I'm not interested in fitting in anymore. I know who I am and where I am from. I'm proud to be both a Muslim and a Somali, and I don't care who knows it (especially post-Sept11). So, I wouldn't worry too much about the younger generation. Insha Allah they will find their way. And YES, I do go out in my diric in the summer, beats boiling in trousers or skirts.(Lol)

In my opinion we can all do without female circumcision. I don't think it has any benefits and only brings about health problems during pregnancy. There is no need to interfere in the way Allah made the female body. I think it is just perfect the way it is.

like many guys feel like we are da most precious thing on earth...

who wants a guy who be flirting wit every xaliimo or xaawo as LF said. that just annoys me. peace.

Honestia: Oh my God.......u r here too...gabar didn't I tell u not to follow me....yaa qabiyah! Aah zacaltiini...bas anaa axibak, cashaan kida a'ulak ahlan biki, ya saqifah! ------------------ "Honesty is the best policy..shove it up their arses ...whether they like it or not"

Fisrt,abdinuur this is a very sensitive issue to most of the girls....that it effects. FGM has always been debated on by many fighters be it for individual purposes or women's rights. However, me personally won't want it to continue. "Ilaaheyba naba cadibinee maxeynu isu cadibeynaa"..Allah has created women into a form He desired, n by performing circumcision is it to alter that design. Although most of the new moms have somewhat gained knowledge of the big effects it has on their daughters, and stopped it.. yet there r still those that need to be enlightened about this matter. Believe it or not my cousin divorced his wife, b/c she wanted to mutilate her daughters...given the fact that she herself was a well educated sister. Her only excuse was, it has been done to me....n I shall do unto my daughters. Till this kind of mentally has been erased I don't see circumcision ending anytime soon. About Weris, I don't think I want to read/listen to what a women, who has abandoned her culture n religion has to say....As far as I am concerned she is GAAL!! Wa salaamu caleykum!!

I have 2 say I like flirting with girls,cause u will know how open they are with other peple.

Unix, get a life...

Hi guys well girls don't call cus its not in our culture like mplskid said. But i don't understand why a gal wld even take the no i personal wldn't atke and just tell the person no point in giving me the no as i won't call u anyways.

LF, You can simply tell the difference if you know the diin well..... i mean like if you know what the quran says and of course the sunnah (the prophet's pbuh way of life). We are all Muslims and Allah (cwj) send us a prophet (pbuh) to guide us into the right path and inshallah if we follow in that path Allah (cwj) will grand us Paradise beneath which rivers follow. My point is Allah (cwj) send us one prophet that had a clear message and we should all no matter what follow in his path and not to differ our selves from one another e.i suufi, shiica, Sunnies etc... Salaamz
