The world's most "conceited" African Wodabe tribal group holds Wife Stealing Day, and men dress up to participate
The Wodabe ethnic group in the Sahel region of Africa is a magical existence. They are known as the most "conceited" ethnic group in the world. Even their men pay great attention to their appearance and carry small mirrors with them. They are also one of the few polyandry people in the world where women have a higher status than men.
Recently, the tribe held a unique beauty pageant, namely the Wife Thief Day of the Wodabe ethnic group in Africa. The so-called Wife Thief Day is actually a "men's beauty pageant" serving women. The judges and audience of the competition are all female, and the participants are all male. In this competition, the only criterion for judging is the appearance of the men. If the participating man is lucky enough to be spotted by the female audience, he can be successfully brought home regardless of whether the woman is unmarried or married!
The Wodabe people have their own aesthetic standards. Usually, tall figure, bright eyes, white teeth and a tall nose are bonus points for a man. In order to achieve these, they deliberately wear ostrich feathers on their heads to increase height, apply thick red clay on their faces, paint thick and black eyeliner to highlight their bright eyes, and even apply lipstick to show off their white teeth. In order to win the attention of the judges and the audience during the competition, some contestants will show a typical standard expression: grinning to show their white teeth, staring at them to show their bright eyes, and finally trying to make an exaggerated expression to impress the women.
The Wodabe tribe believes that they are the most beautiful people in the world, and men will carry small mirrors with them to fix their makeup. In a competition, if an onlookers fancy a certain player, she has the right to be "stolen" by a better-looking man and abandon her husband. Therefore, some women who want to be "stolen" will actively participate in this event, and the criterion for judging men at this event is based on their appearance. If they meet a good-looking man, the woman will pat him on the shoulder and take him home.
Of course, if a man is worried about his wife running away, he may dissuade her from staying away from the game. However, women with husbands are not subject to absolute restrictions, because in the polyandry Wodabe tribe, women have absolute sexual freedom and can have many husbands. A man has no say in his wife's departure, and of course, he has no position on his wife's departure for another man.
When it comes to sex, women have absolute dominance. Unmarried women can have sex with any person they like at any time. But men do not have the right to proactively ask for sex. The advantage of the winner of this competition is that the winner will gain the initiative to choose girls first-sexual hegemony.
