This post is inspired by several social media profiles, I have seen online. This list is not complete does not attempt to be one, I am merely writing down some of my observation with an added touch of humor, stereotypes and drama. I do not mean offense to anyone. Enjoy.

1. THE TRADITIONAL GIRL

She is the type of girl that might live in Addis Ababa, Nazret or perhaps even Hawassa. She has a modest job but she always has her photos taken professionally at Sami/Harar/Dani/Temesgen Photo Studio. She might even have photos in the traditional habesha dress and albasso hairstyle. She often uses the pseudonames of konjo, sweet, love, gual, or gurl on her Facebook profile names and often comments on other people’s photos saying ‘wowow’, ‘congraaa’ or ‘kkkkkk’. She shares a bunch of funny and adorable pictures of ferenj babies on her page and dreams of marrying rich.
