Recently, I've noticed a trend. Two of my friends have gotten married this past year, they're both around my age, one is 23 and the other 26. Another one is getting married soon.
All of their husbands are atleast 6 yrs + older. Come to think of it, this is not a new thing, most Somali women go for older men. You'd think it'd be different since we're in the diaspora, but nowadays it's even more prominent.
Not only can't I say that I blame them but, I agree and would/will do the same, Inshallah.
Why, because a majority of younger guys are airheads. I think guys need a full range of experience to fully appreciate you as a woman. Then, and only then would they know how to treat you.
To be honest, it's not so much about the treatment as it is about their mental being and stage of their life. Because, most Somali guys are good to their lady friends. Altho it's said that women mature alot faster then men it's still interesting.
In gengeral, I've found that younger men calaacal too much. Oh but I want to go out with my friends, Oh how come we cant do something, Oh you forgot to call me. Chisas.
Anyway, my point is...when it comes to Somali men, what they say about wine is true...the older the better. Ofcourse not freakishly old.
Just food for thought.
