Do you love or hate women like me?

KOQRIDER
By KOQRIDER

One side of me is like a tasting a hot sticky toffe cookie, the other a plain ryvita with veggie mite spread... not for everyone's taste!

What have I noticed since my arrival in Doha.

Please clarify, critic and suggest I might be wrong!!

1. NOT A LOT TO DO
2. NOT A LOT TO DO , SECOND TIME
3. NOT A LOT TO DO , THIRD TIME
4. THE RATIO OF MAN VS WOMAN IS INCREDIBLY HIGH, FEELS LIKE 10 TO 1, UNFORTUNATELY THEY ARE NOT MY TYPE!!!!
5. GOOD FOOD. I'M IMPRESSED AND HAPPY
6. MAD, MAD DRIVERS. I ASSUME MANY DRIVING LICENCES MUST HAVE BEEN OBTAINED IN THE DESERT.
7. I'M CONFUSED WITH ASIAN CHICKS!!! DO THEY JUST "HIT" ON ANYONE?

I managed to go around the whole of doha in a very short period of time, including short visits to the malls, souks, cafes and hotels!!!!This is a strong indication that soon I will be bored... HELP HELP CAN'T HAVE THAT!!!
Where are the fun expats free man of Doha?
Which bars, cafes, malls do you go to?
... I'm young,funny, free, successful, lonely and looking for friends, lots of friends. Send me an email, leave me a comment PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE bug me, GET IN TOUCH, SAY HELLO!!!! OR EVEN JUST GOODBYE :)

Taking in consideration my introduction and what I have written above I would like to start my forum by asking you all; Do you hate, love or fear women like me?

Hello, KOQRIDER! I know how you feel, and I totally agree. Its just normal, and I guess we have to accept the reality that its like that here. Anyhow, you just have to find a way to entertain yourself - find a hobby.

To answer your question, I love a woman like you. ;)

Who said being bored is WRONG OR BAD in the 1st place?

we have gotton used 2 such a hectic pace of life that simply not having much to do gets on our nurves...which is insain:)

Not having much 2 do is part of the experience of being here...

If u want somewhere busy go to Cairo or NY:)

I have found that living in doha is OPTIMAL, when u have accepted the concept of " little 2 do" and invest ur time ROUTINELY in possitive activities ( working out, readin, a hobby, etc..)

trying 2 change the state of the country is an excecise in futility:)

love it for what it is, or leave it...thats what i say:)

This topic is highly depressing. One, I can't believe so many of your are desperate for companionship that you've listed your information in this thread. Two, I can't believe that people are buying this girl's post. The picture is clearly taken from an advertisement. It's touched up. Who keeps a picture of their butt anyway? How do you know she isn't a guy or at the very least an ugly girl?

Let's face it. A woman working in the petrochemicals industry as a business consultant in Doha is probably not that good looking. Her username is pretty disconcerting. I wonder if she's socially autistic based on such a brazen expression of sexuality in a fairly conservative country. Nasty. In all likelihood, the only thing she'll be riding this weekend is a drunk Australian or one of the old orange cabs home from some booze-filled hotel. Let me venture and guess that the originator of this thread is either a man joking around or a not so appealing woman who hasn't got the goods to make a good impression in person.

Mulie-good comments.

KOQ- I think we had done this topic many a times. "Normal" countries with lots of "normal" men either tax you to the last penny or you live a life of mortgage. It may sound harsh but Middle-East is attractive because of the money or saving differential. Lot of pretty young things who are looking for a life of romance along with the saving potential will live a life of misery while counting their dollars. Even in the "free" Dubai the situation is similar. "Young Asian Chicks" either seek money or passport and they are not "normal" either.

Solutions Any?? Since most expats are around "temporarily" this mindsets pervades everywhere.Either come as a couple and enjoy fulfilment in the peaceful life or find forums to vent your frustations.I sympathise with all expat singles in Doha.

Why would anyone hate you?? You sound like a normal person seeking normal life.

A "real woman" should be in control of her own choices.

Real women, if they are, like you said, fun, outspoken and adventurous, adding to that tender, sensative, and SMART. I think that cud be a good definition, without all the hassle about being submissive, if she has such qualities and the man have similar qualities, there won't be a need for all that fight, and they both will be do things for each other based on understanding.

As for the Arab men, I know for sure not all will want his wife to wear Abaya or treat her like a slave. regardless Muslim or christian. (I guess you just haven't meet much of them, or didn't run into the right ones :)

Yes, but if you have a family, you obviously have one because you want one, therefore you are willing to take on the tasks neccessary for a family to function. This means flexibilty for both partners, sometimes the man has to play the woman's role or vice versa.

What I am trying to imply is that a real women can do these things without being submissive. I don't like it when women are submissive because they think that's what men want. And I don't like men who like submissive women.

By butterfly• 11 Oct 2006 10:53

Mulie,

I like your answer, but is somewhat an imposible ideal. We cannot always do what we want to do: relationships and more specifically, family relationships, imply a little flexibility, a little subordination if you like, a little selflessness, a little sacrifice.

Things are never that simple.

So the overalls definately got me thinking...hmmmm...

...on another note: i don't think i own a red t-shirt (or "top" for that matter)..

Mulie... Although you've got the wrong perception on arabs (since there are christian arabs who don't like wearing sweaters) i still have to admit that you've got an attitude i admire...hehehe.. you must have had a strange experience...

Sofitel...hehehe... I don't wish to publicy denounce the place for the sake of its reputation, but i suggest for all those interested to visit... make sure you are not alone...

Note to self: I don't think that things will get better once you find a routine... that statement implies not having fun, but keeping yourself busy so that you don't wake up one morning and decide to play russian rolet... And concerning the culture shock... its more a "lack of culture" shock...

I MEAN that a lot of Western women won't give Arab guys a chance because they are afraid of what will happen if the relationship works out. Wearing an abaya for the rest of your life is not an option for a lot of Western women who don't agree with some of the teachings of Islam.

As for knitting sweaters and making sandwiches I was implying that Western women (and quite a few Asian ones) are not pushovers, yet somehow men in Asia (be they Western or Asian) come to expect that from girls. Any girl that won't behave like a slave is just some cranky Western dyke.

after 45 days in Doha , i feel lonly too .. but so far i am still busy to search were are the friends (boys & girls). not ready to go to the rydge or alike bars sitting alone watch faces and increase the ratio of 10:1 to 11:1 lol..

KOQ. i can see that u realy started a good discussion .. and i am really currious to know how many mails lol "same as the cat"

so in spite of standing in a Que or sending mails or dreaming of that girl who may fill my lonlyness abd the bla bla bla .. why dont we all meet once a month somewhere as a start to know each others .. singles - married - coupls - just wear one color so we recognize each others easily. and this could be a start for contenous interacting with like minded ppl.. i can see ppl here are talking the same subject and suffering the same prob. .. come on so lets meet .. .. .. any suggestion whts the T shirt Colour ?

It is true that real women are the ones who have the balls to travel... i'll give you credit for that comment, however, i would have to disagree with you concerning the "boys here can't handle real women...". The problem all goes back to the large ratio stated earlier...wether its 20:1, 10:1, or 5:1 the ratio has a real effect on the women... because they get approached by soo many men (most of whom are not worth coughing on) when the real men do approach the real women never realize it...it becomes habit to ignore, turn your head, or pretend your having a conversation with the back of the person's head sitting next to you... Single women should be having a ball with the amount of men around them... This is one place that sucks for the single men...single men who don't enjoy going to Sofitel (for those that don't know about the activities that take place at sofitel... i recommend you don't bother asking...)

Doha for a single woman SUCKS! Attitudes like this are why:

"Men generally tend to like girls who are not a lot of work.. you sound like one.

However, men here, as lonely as bored as they are, will put up with almost anything just to get laid. I'm sure you'll find someone who'd be able to catch your eyes or, at least, who would makes you consider a few compromises.."

The boys here can't handle real women, and unfortunatly real women are the only ones that have the balls to travel overseas. :(

1. Yes, there is not alot to do...

2. I agree that there may be very little to do..

3. I would add that there are limited options to entertain yourself...

4. As a guy I wish to also place my concern with the "asian chicks"...

5. The ratio of men to women is a little more grand... i would place it at 20:1...but if you were to cut out the labour and construction workers who save up their 50 QR a week to get thier 2 beers...and if you cut out those the sleez balls (usually of a particular background...hmmmm).... the actual ratio of men to women cuts down to a 5:1... I would imagine you would love the options....

6. I would disagree about being impressed by the food... In doha? I thought that due to the lack of options restaurant owners felt that they need not invest in what some like to call customer service...

Moral of the Story:

As a result of the "nothing to do", you find yourself doing things you never imagined... And although at first you question yourself, you realize that if you let go a little you might actually have a lot of fun... there are things to do... that you wouldn't normally call things to do, like fishing or trying strange sports like ultimate frisbee or something like that....what has my life come to!!!....

In order to survive in Doha, you are going to have to let yourself get a little insane... you have to throw out the negativity and start making every interaction fun... laugh at everything because its so absurd that in the end it becomes fun... a new strange fun... and try to meet people... there are alot of house parties that take place....some enjoyable.. others extremely useless (and what i mean by useless is that you walk into the room and you feel like you might as well have gone to ramada and danced with the 300 construction workers from the site nearby and the 4 philipino chicks and their 60+ british boyfriends...

Its all about being with the right people.. joining a good gym/beach is usualy the best way to meet good people.. and keeping yourself busy doing random (and i mean completely random....the type of random that gets you calling your friends back home and tripping out about it..) things that eventualy get you enjoying your time...

And why would anyone hate or fear you....

over the weekends, take a slow drive out of Doha and into Al Wakra..nice beach.lots of kite surfing too..diving perhaps? take up scube at Pearl Divers along Al Nasr (same street as Doha Clinic)..BUT i think Pearl Divers changed management..seems to be a different shop name now..

oh by the way, think u've got something smeared on ur forehead or back of the head..

u're attracting the wrong types!

ahahahahah

chill out and embrace the 'exotic' lifestyle..no other place (as boring as here) for u to actually learn more about urself..in terms of tolerance..patience...self-perseverance..

man...it takes a lot from a person to adjust to Qatar..dun u think?

this is the place where u can see normal people become maniacs the minute they get behind the steering wheel.

cheap thrills is speeding like crazy on a 300m stretch when they know there is a jam right in front of them and they cut, cross as if their life depends on it, just to stop right behind a tiny excuse of a car. can u imagine their frustation.

i enjoy watching their ego crumble especially when they have cut my way.

did u check www.qatarblahblah.com

you may just interact with someone ready to challenge you headon.

give it a try with the same intro.you may have fun there.

being a strong woman myself, i think people will take you wrong or yup it may border on hatred.but they may just be ready to experiment, why not if you are game for it. like u said not much to do, so this may just challenge them.

take care.
