Does the Zahabi tribe in Africa really regard being fat as beautiful?

Africa has always been a magical region, because the economic development of many African countries is not very good. Many places have not been developed yet and remain in a very primitive state, which has also led to the current situation in Africa. There are many primitive tribes. Each tribe has its own culture and customs, attracting many tourists from all over the world to travel and explore. Today I’m going to introduce to you what tourists call the most peculiar tribe in Africa: the Zahabi tribe!

When an African friend and I were traveling in Africa, we encountered this tribe in the dense jungle of Tanzania in the southern part of the African Rift Valley. My friend and I were very worried when we met this tribe, because many tribes in Africa are territorial, fearful of people, and refuse to communicate. But after we showed our goodwill, the people of the Zahabi tribe had no intention of attacking us, so we even went to visit their tribe.

After walking through the jungle for a while, we finally came to the tribe. We could see that there were very few rooms in the tribe, and they looked like temporary buildings. Because the Zahabi tribe has its own language, it was very difficult for us to communicate. I relied on my friends to slowly translate and guess. I learned from this that there are thousands of people in their tribe, but they usually live in a group of 20 to 30 people. The men are responsible for hunting and the women are responsible for some trivial matters.

It is precisely because of this that men have far greater say than women, because if there are no men to hunt, the women of the tribe will have no food to eat, so the status of women in the tribe will be very low. Food is distributed by men, so in order to get more, women in the tribe meet all the needs of men!

The most peculiar thing is the aesthetics of this tribe. In the Zahabi tribe, generally thin women are not welcome here. The aesthetic here is plump and fat buttocks. Only such women are The most beautiful, so many local women want to have fat buttocks and plump figures, so as to make themselves more popular in the tribe.

So this is the reason why it is called the "most peculiar tribe in Africa", and the system of "monogamy" is also practiced here. Other tribes are "polygamous", so Zaha It is very strange compared to the tribe. The most unexpected thing for us is that when other men in the tribe fall in love with other married women, the married women cannot refuse the man's request. All the needs of the men in the tribe must be met.

So this tribe left a very deep impression on me. Even after I left, I will never forget it. However, each tribe has its own cultural customs and lifestyle. There is no need to impose our own ideas on others. This is a very selfish behavior.
