MAXIMUS POWERS Posted January 29, 2009 Unfortunately for many of the people on this forum, they were married in the last century in a socially conservative society, almost like Victorian Britain. Fortunately for those of us who have not tired the knot, the world is different and changed! So what does the 'new' Somali man require in a marriage? 'new' in this sense is defined as young, liberal and off middle class stock! Regrettably many do not fall into this defined and narrow group. I am therefore placed in a very good position to answer such a question! The Marriage Requirement of the 'New' Somali Man includes the following attributes: 1. Politically Liberal 2. Good income 3. Attractive 4. Highly Educated 5. Islamically liberated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NGONGE Posted January 29, 2009 Heh. How does one become Islamically liberated, Marx? Wear a sexy leopard skin hijab? Undo the top three buttons of your khamees? Pray once a week instead of the very restricting five-a-day thing? We had this conversation before, saaxib. Don't be a coward and just jump right in. Lists and excuses will only help you for so long but, eventually, you'll just have to give in and get married. This goes for all you single guys (and girls) over the age of 21. Get on with it already. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

underdog Posted January 29, 2009 Marx, a little clarification please... Are these requirements expected OF the new Somali men? or the requirements the new Somali men expect of their prospective wives? Even though the requirements themselves are clear, the party to present these requirements is not. (just a question) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Faheema. Posted January 29, 2009 ^ I understood it as this is what Marx expect of his prospective wive Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ibtisam Posted January 29, 2009 ^^^I took it as what he thinks women want in a MAN Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
underdog Posted January 29, 2009 Ibti, I'm with Faheema on this...looks like he's asking for these requirements....why else would it be posted in the Women's section. Besides, I don't think a single guy can be an authority to tell women what they need in a man. So what does the 'new' Somali man require in a marriage?
