Faarax-Brawn Posted July 25, 2007 Age16-25 1. Manage your money This has to be the toughest fete expected of Women & young girls in this century. This is definetly hard when you have beautiful things like Dolce & Gabana Bags, shoes, clothes & endless other temptations that require money. I say,if women are expected to to manage their monies well, they should ban shopping all together!, right ladies? Besides,this really doesn’t affect many Xalimos,think about it: at ages 16-19,they live with aabo & hooyo and hence live off them & at age 20-25, most every other Xalimo is married & therefore lives off her husband. So, in conclusion, this first entry should be disregarded all together. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ibtisam Posted July 25, 2007 ^^^What Xalimos (16-19) do you know with parents rich enough to support her, while she sits at home, or spends their money? point them out please, so I can give them a kick up the as*s. And what Xalimo do you know (20-25) who depends on some Farah...... (same as above) Hang on are you saying what I think you ARE? maybe he forgot the countless ones who support themseleves, their farah, her family and his :mad: Now go and find a better opinion please.!

-Lily- Posted July 25, 2007 lives off her husband Gosh, you make it sound like they’re parasites or scavengers! I think most Xalimos have a much more ambitious list than that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Xalimos aged 16-19 are mostly in High school & unless there was a sudden change that i was not informed off(why would they inform me anyway?,lol), highschoolers,Especially Somali girls live with parents. What 17year old do you know who lives by herself,has a decent paying job & pays all her bills? Gosh, you make it sound like they’re parasites or scavengers! I know,that was the intended rhetoric, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buuxo Posted July 25, 2007 ^please most of the xalimos i know support themselves and their families whether they are abroad or in somalia. I will try to remain calm and not generalise like you did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
-Lily- Posted July 25, 2007 FB then your claim is null and void I see this is an attempt to outrage a few of the female SOL population so you can get a slight kick out of it, but you will not succeed. In fact, if you want to use that rhetoric, Farax's should pay Xalimos for all the unpaid work they do at home. I mean, that alone could make women a fortune.
