^Sometimes work isn't about earning the 'bread' is where one goes to exercise ones brain, to socialise etc...

 

I cant imagine a life of just cooking/cleaning/serving..

^Socialise you say? I thought our(Somali) woman were very social and outgoing both in Somalia and the west as they take part in the all ladies gatherings, Hagbad aruun and weddings. Also I agree she doesn't have to cook, clean or serve all times, she can go out all she wants to visit her friends, mother, sister or what have you but what I was saying there was no need for the lady to go to work everyday from 9-5 when there is no pressure and specially when the man is doing the same.

 

She should stay at home and perhaps have more time to socialise with her children, friends and family or whatever she likes. Regular work is about winning bread for me and not social.

Here is a reason your mind might not comprehend. She might actually like work and the challenge to achieve something- Work in some cases is an aspect of one's lifestyle and an extension of their self. It's not just about earning your bread.

I always find that there is an element of control when men reason why should my wife work if i can bring the bread home. If the woman makes this choice on her own accord- no problem, but if she does choose to work then it is a must that her husband do his share of the household chores.

 

Motivations for working are numerous and money is not always the main objective. For some women i know they want to have a sense of personal achievement and independence.

 

That said though having your own career and making your own dosh has the potential to equalise the marriage- 'traditional' roles are often unequal.

so what the hell is buuryo gab!! Ama guess that its like homies who like to stand close to behind ladies with trunks!! Sorry just a guess. G-gali feel yaa homie-gal, yup!!........ there is alot of Oreos out there nowdays. I remember this xalimo, who married some white trash when he was in prison. He gave her a kid, stole her car and she never even reported it. gl Oreos. I cant stand white skin...I like it dark n smooth. NO hair.

 

blk pple should never wear white. I remember when i was in college, one nite in party shows up this really dark dude from west africa. Me n homie from tanzania where chilling and saw this dude. I told him....yu that must be casper....the friendly ghost. Guest what. Yup,,, this dude's name was casper!! lol

 

Black folks and white garb just dont match period.

Ok I am going to ask a question I've always wanted to ask.-- I was at this wedding recently and the Somali bride looked like any other Somali bride that I've seen. She was tall beautiful, had long extensions and wore a form fitting White wedding dress. She looked stunning but at the same time foreign looking and uncomfortable. I love how Somalis describe brides as 'caroosad' because she looked plastic and barbie looking.

 

All you married girls- You wore a white dress (don't lie!) Why?

Why one dress?Just go with several. This one is beautiful, especially in the form of a ivory long sleeve lace.

This was a fun thread. I missed out on adding my 2 cents in the first couple of pages but once this topic comes back around I'll make sure to add my humble opinion on Somali girls and ajinabi relationships :)

 

In regards to white dresses, I can't stand them. Especially the strapless ones. I'd rather wear traditional clothes or any other color but white.

 

Didn't widows wear white in Somalia?
