Originally posted by juxa: salaam all, this is what i call somali xaasidnimo, an educated guy can marry a girl who can not write her name, then we go, ooooooh he will help her out, why can't this phd lady not do the same to him, help him out to reach his potential. Thats a Very good point...So if you were in my cousin's shoes you would follow your heart?

Once theres a government? And who is going to start this government when all the educated people are over in the west building up that economy? Do you expect the war lords and gun gangsters left in somalia are going to drop their guns and start re building somalia? The future of somali rest's with us...every step you take while in the west should be steps that are preparing you to help your country in some way shape or form...haddii kale walaahi haddaan iska fadhino waiting for some government to Miraculously appear...wax hagaagi doona malahan. Peace and luv

About jumping ...maybe someday I'll grow some balls( metaphoric) and be brave enough to jump off the high end...until then I'll play the coward. Lakkad--so thats why your at malls day in and day out...you know I would come some day right....poor thing... anaa daawo kuu ah baan u maleeyay

Kaafi, harmony, mizz unique I see where y'all are coming from and i'm inclined to agree with you...but there is always this calaf people keep talking about and you never know who you will end up with. You should see the list my cousin has in her head about teh qualifications her future mate has to have...degree's,,,nice job...nice car. I guess calaf baa u geeyay ninkaan. King...lol...I should've left when I saw that they were paying no attention to me...but what can I say I'm blind when it comes to those things. You know...I think the whole problem stems from worrying about what people will think..and at the end thats what will do them in as people keep saying "uma qalmo" he'll start to feel insecure and she will end up regreting it all and thats what scares the shit out of her. 1luv

What do I think? I agree with you that education is an obstacle that can be over come....but How long will it take him to over come that one minor problem? I wonder what kind of a bond can be formed when education is such a big part of her life and almost none of his? If he moves down here then he would need to look for a job..but what kind of a job can he find when he speaks almost no english? ( speaks fluent german and somali) I don't know I feel for my cousin but the whole follow your heart thing is hard for me to swollow...but then again you never know what life has in store for you.

I guess a career is very important but the thing is this guy is in europe....so if things work out he's gonna have to move down here and start all over again...so the "career" he had would have to be left behind. ya feel me?

Thanks juxaa....I agree with what you said about nimanka dhagaha adag with Phd's Lucky thanks hon.

Originally posted by Lakkad: It doesnt have to be talked about-----its incoprotated in islam that we do shun away from all those evil stuff---- True....but it happens. islam tells us not to kill fellow muslims but we do it anyway. Does that mean that the problem should not be addressed?

her problem is the education part... she wants this guy but his lack of education is making her have second thoughts. Besides the guy is family....she doesn't want to end up hurting him in the long run. This is a girl that isn't into dating....she wants to get married because she believes she will just be wasting her time if she tries to get to know this guy because she believes you can't really know a person from dating.

My cousin, just informed me of a situation she finds herself in. A couple of weeks ago one of my uncles was getting married here in mnpls, so we were all very excited. He had his friends from europe flown in to attend his wedding and help out. Among my uncles friends was this 29 year old guy that happened to catch my cousin's eye. It turns out the guy is our cousin...small world!! Any how As soon as they met....there was instant chemistry!! My cousin ( the female) is very level headed so she ignored the whole encounter. We all spent alot of together going out to dinner abnd what not..so before the guy left he talked to her and told her that he wanted to explore these emotions that he feels inside for her. My cousin told him that she would think about it and let him know what she decided. After talking on the phone for a few weeks my cousin is starting to have feelings for this guy( they say females fall in love with words)..but she's trying hard to fight them. Her brain is telling her NO but her heart says YES!! She always imagined herself ending up with a guy who graduated from college and has a good job. she herself is working on her Phd so you can see why she wants an educated brotha. But there is this small part of her thats telling her to go ahead and let her guard down. I'm telling her that she should follow her heart...it isn't about how many degrees he has..its all about how good he is to you,,if he can take care of his own...his beliefs..etc. Any how I wanted to know what your thoughts were on this. ( remember to marry your cousin is not haraam...and when I say " my cousin" I don't mean me!!..this story is not about me!)

parachute symbolizing what? a Back up plan?

so in other words I should be active...close my eyes and jump? hmmm interesting!!

loool so thats what it is!!! I knew it was too good to be true!!

Why should I have to do all the work? My role is sit and wait..so they tell me

so your saying we should just go with the first man who breaths our way...for fear that we won't get a man if we are too picky? loool

no husband?!! darn it!! thats why I aint married yet!!!! They key to understanding us is that you gotta get the balance....if you don't then..we go all araweelo on you and that aint gonna be pretty!!

up and down aa? sh!t no!!! Thats when My claws come out!!!

I figured they deserve a treat every once in awhile.... you know what they say..you can admire but don't look too long.

looool...I guess so. You walk into a somali mall and seems like the men are for sale...standing around like they do. But hey.. i'm greatful for all the good looking guys that hang around there....its nice to go down there when you've had a stressful week and let your eyes feast...lol...joking!!

aaaah...you feel for those poor guys huh? I can tell you one thing...standing infront of the somali malls is not gonna give them an edge...if anything it will turn the game away from them and toward more deserving group of men.

So I guess i'm wrong....so what inspired this topic? which I may add is very interesting and useful to my somali brothas
