yes.

alot of insecure people in this thread.

personally, i like all african features, particularly ivorian/mali. i'm somali and i'll tell you guys something some of these western somalis or anyone has mentioned. somali's themselves are different. there are 2 types, northern somali's(consisting of 2 clans which share close common ancestry, isaaq/dir clans) and southern somali's( who have intermarried, throughout the generations with people of west african descent). northern somali's or somalilanders/djibouti tend to be lighter skinned and have more indigenous features, similar to that of ethiopian/eritrean('tigreans', the light skinned beautiful ethiopians being posted. majority of ethiopians are 'amhara' and look nothing like the ones being mentioned. i don't want to be racist but southern somalis are generally darker skinned and have nappy hair. southern somalia is the somalia the media usually portray. war torn and desperate. most people don't know this but we somali's don't even mix. we look different, have different customs and cultures. blame the british and italians for colonial segregation.

i've lived in northern somalia for 2 years. and although it's true somalis are generally 'pretty', they are just that, pretty as in they have delicate features. i personally don't find them attractive(although you'll see the best looking somali girls not in europe or america, but in hargeisa city at sunset), it's like finding my mother or sister attractive. it's the features,

blah blah, sorry for bumping dead thread but what i'm trying to say is, we're all different and it's time we stopped arguing and celebrated are differences(cliche). i find west african girls got more sex appeal if you know what i mean,
