Your opinions needed - Women in Qatar.

nice girl!!

U have something against russians? or u simply have prejudices for the slavic women???

Um, I'm really not offended by this. She thought he was cute, she gave him her number. Good on her.

She was a woman that wanted to meet a guy.

Who cares?

It's not a Qatar exclusive thing. It's not a foreign women thing.

She was a woman that liked the guy and wanted to get to know him.

I'm not really suprised by some of the small minded thinking...

Mr. Q's Blog - A Qatari's view on Qatar.

men do it all the time, so nothing wrong with a lady making the first move sometimes..

where is that place i want to go there tomorrow night to see who she picks up from our QL gang. 2 are gone and i want them all to be gone.

Just get her phone number and arrange it here .

How did this thread suddenly turn to insults about pitstop, she was just asking for opinions and i dont recall her insulting anyone.

and i remembered this thread. i looked around for a German looking lady waitress and cant find one... no wonder i cant see one... =))

My objection please..."pitstop is more than likely not as good looking"

Thanks heero_yuy2, well I thought it was all said in the initial post, but apparently I missed the most important part out. Sowwweee :$

Now my initial comment seems blurry all the sudden...

"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach

LOL kenyaqueen, you made my day with that comment and I end it at that.

for her , i see that she is a very cheap girl

and for you i advice if u gave her a 5 QR and told her to go play outside

oryx, could it be that you did not notice the small little dashes in the front and at the ends of the phrases you quoted? But never mind. If you have an opinion, keep it.

What a disgusting way to talk about women...

'worn out'....and drag them out to make you look hot....

gezzzzzzzzzzz zero respect. :(

i will say no more about what would make you look hotter!

hpe it is tru,,

Chill peopl. Y is it such a big deal? Pitstop, i kno how embarassed u must've felt. But lemme ask u something, wud u hav had the same reaction if some guy had hit on u?

Different people have different ways of doing it, but i'm sure all of us hav @ some time or the other heard some really cheesy pick up lines. & looking bak @ it now, i'm sure its a good laugh too.

Not saying what happened was right, but just saying try to c the lighter side of things.

the big deal editor is that pitstop is more than likely not as good looking as this other woman and maybe felt a little threat. And now is drumming up support for her warped theory that it is wrong to do something that is natural, meet people. Maybe she had a thing or two for this man herself. You know how "catty" women can be. I see it all the time. Pitstop, if I personally was bothered by something like this I would have had no problem in either pulling that woman aside either that night or another day and let her know that it was inappropriate for her to do this with your clients/friends instead of helping to turn a confident woman in to a hooker. And besides I thought in qatar its not right for one woman to be out dining with two men in public. Can you imagine what people are thinking, maybe she is married to one of them, maybe its her brothers or maybe their thinking this woman is about to have a threesome after dinner:) ya just never know what society is thinking!

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

All I could say is that, I am impressed with that girl's GUTS.

I don’t want to be judgmental, but there are women who are bold enough to express their feelings. And this stuff is common practice in the liberated countries, so what's the big deal with it.

Finally read this - hey, PITSTOP you misled everyone (unintentionally, of course I'm sure).

"The waitress was given the business card of the blond chic that was sitting on the table beside us. She was just the messenger." - Aiyah!

So your original question - "I would like to know what men think of girls that do that? And Girls how they perceive such a behavior from other girls?"

Now that the frame of reference is straightened out (sorry, had no time to read through all the posts earlier) - as long as not working there, good. Bad taste to approach a man like that esp. since biz mtg but I guess, she realized that her window of opportunity was tiny and might as well grab it while the grabbing's good.

/Don't ask grab what..

//I wouldn't be as bold as she was - but that's just me. I'm shy... ok, I'm a coward.

///Pls ignore all that I've said above. Perception of the situation was different.

BullDog said about Judgements - well, yes. I guess.

Could simply be very bad judgment, forgetting where she was (not in a western country where being forward is normal). Could also be loneliness and desperation. Looking from the outside without knowing the reality behind those actions is quite dangerous.

I also agree that perhaps where she worked should not have been revealed. This is an open forum and not only members read these posts. Consequences of actions - could have caused her to lose her job and thus, livelihood. That IS sad.

MagicDragon - "...A man in company of a woman is far more attractive to another woman than a "loner".

Hell, no. At least, generally, not the decent ones, not desperate, who are professional / educated and not after your money. (I said "generally", ok?) Those who feel the need to compete, are not confident in themselves.

Btw, a man in the company of another woman is, on the face of it, unavailable (whether attached, engaged or married), so no point wasting time even looking. The most will be friend only, even great friends but nothing more.

/Yeah, deep sh*t if more women think like me. You hope not.

Desperado

I actually would. I've been a loyal eater at many restaurants that I still go to, and I don't just appreciate the food at places, but the atmosphere and ambiance of the places.

Oishi Sushi, and no I'm not advertising on her behalf because I don't think I need to, - is easy going and a fun place to eat at. The Japanese Chef has changed a lot of things on the menu and it is improving. When the place opened, I hated the food - with time, the taste got better.

Personal Opinion.

I could recommend places if you want. :D

I just hear a lot of I'm high and mighty crap" and when I read into some of the comments in this particular forum those are my thoughts and like everyone else who posted, I felt like expressing my thoughts/opinion. After all it is forum of opinions.

by the way, every response to the question posted has been a personal opinion.

I too bid you a great day.

Oh wow! Here I am confiding with my girls whether I should send an sms to this guy or not.. LOL

Damn, I must be totally out of the game!!

The internet is our revenge machine

kennyqueen: You are very right with what you are saying, but if you read my question - I would like to know what men think of girls that do that? And Girls how they perceive such a behavior from other girls?

How the topic/thread has gone with the comments from the members - thats another thing. Each member states his or her opinion and that is fine. It isn't a personal issue to any of us.

I don't want to offend anyone with my replies, so please all be cool about it. Personal attacks on anyone isn't cool either, so if your comment is rude or mean; buzz of - right?

Yes it is normal for a girl to be attracted to a guy she likes, but it is approaching the situation without considering other peoples reactions is wrong. Yes who are we for her to care about our feelings of such behavior, but still - it is ones self respect. There is always the right time and the right place to do things.

I wish you all a wonderful and happy day today.

If you have nothing to do today, please feel free to go down to Losail International Circuit to watch and support the local and foreign riders race Round#5 of the Qatar International Road Racing Championship.

they treat u as walking ATMs

you know folks, I have heard the following statement in many forums to the effect of "people don't behave this way and that way here in Qatar" or some other country". But let me tell you that you are all wrong. What ever behaviors I see in my country I see in your country. Including selling sex, murder, inappropriate behavior from citizens. For example there was a forum about two weeks ago about a bunch of young boys who harassed a woman while she was driving through a particular area, some one made the comment that this behavior is not indicative of youth for qatar and now your saying that the sex trade doesn't exist there amongst people of qatar and it is only asian women or white western women who do it. Well if you check out some of the online articles, qatar is thriving off the sex trade whether it be girls forced into it or if they are asian or local born women. Matter of fact I read that qatar is number 3 or 4 country in the world with the highest rate in the sex trade. One of the reason why you may not see local women there as much is because they are more private about it or they go to saudi to do it. Anyway get over this thing that these things don't happen in your country cause they do.

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

Oh, oh, oh, I misunderstood. It was not the wait staff who was the author of the note. Well, it becomes simply a beach of good taste rather than a completely unprofessional lapse on the part of the wait person.

Mandi

You can't teach experience...

There are no editing options in the thread where I can edit and add the part where the Blond lady gave the waitress the business card to give to the good looking guy that was sitting with me.

Excuse the confusion.

hi speed, i think i already explained that "thums up" thing...just read carefully about my first post...thumbs up for pursuing what she wants...thumbs up to have the guts to do it...thumbs up for taking her chances...

got it, speed...

by the way, i dont glorify nor condemn prostitution...

who am i to judge them????

"never allow somebody to be ur priority when u r just his/her option"

hi pitstop, obviously , we have different views regarding this matter...a couple of times, i have this kind of approach from men...but i didnt take it as rudeness...as a matter of fact, am flattered...it's up to me if i will accept it or not...when it was happened, i just smiled to him when i left...and throw the paper in the first trash bin i bumped, of course, without him seeing it...

well, i view this whole things in a different perpective...considering that it was in a wrong place, that woman was trying her chance with the man she likes...maybe she thought, if she let that chance slipped away, only God knows when she would see that man again...for her, she followed her thoughts and feelings...

whether she is a prostitute or not, i will stand by her side...simply bcoz am also a "woman"...

"never allow somebody to be ur priority when u r just his/her option"

Not to sidetrack the subject, but you mentioned that you love the food at Oishi Sushi? me too! but I wonder would you still love it if the restaurant didn't belong to your sister? hmmmm....something smells very 'fishy'! ;D

Well as it turns out ... PITSTOP was not clear in her post.

Waitress gave the card of the blonde sitting on the nearby table.

So hurrah for the waitress

OMG! that was funny! all this time we've been talking about the wrong girl. Haha! Poor Waitress! :-(

May she forgive us.

cheers,

paul

I'll be honest.. I can't really see where she comes across as a prostitute.. Its a possibility, but not definite..

I think she should be given th ebenefit of the doubt..

You might wanna write your post carefully, poor waitress was called many names here.

You know what, QS? They make movies in Hollywood about situations like this one. And the rest of the world finds it amusing. And some say:" Yeah, that could have been me."

BullDog: I described the lady that gave her card - and yes it happened at Oishi Sushi :D

I love the food.

ooohhh...MD.. i forgot..."equality", right?

but even a man.. do you think it's ok for any waiter to harass a woman this way? if only 1 woman complained, OMG, he would get fired in 2 seconds!

Ok, I'm understanding that you people have misunderstood something.

The waitress was given the business card of the blond chic that was sitting on the table beside us. She was just the messenger.

qs, desperation drives women to make such move. desperation for? of course, money and pleasure!

you know what they say bout gold-diggers dont yah?

then I am hopelessly stupid, too...coz i will never understand what makes man make such an embarrassing move..

"never allow somebody to be ur priority when u r just his/her option"

We are talking about the same thing, QS. And, of course, I like teasing you. But, think again. A woman in her working environment (where she probably is 7 days a week). What other chances has she got to initiate a social relation? In the malls, maybe on Fridays? When bachelors are not allowed? I think she did the right thing. There she had the greatest chance to succeed. I would call her "clever".

if the story is true. what the waitress did is indecent or inappropriate or rude. wonder why a waitress needs business cards

===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409

She must be liking him and told him that.

I'm loving it, when you are talking to me so dirty, inside my confession booth!

You are making me so Hornyyyy since a long time!!!

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful,”

So easy to pass judgement, 1 - 2 - 3 and now she is either a bitch or a pro.

All this discusion over a girl appraching a guy, bad judgment may be becuase he was a client, but this she does not deserve.

If this happens in any western country, would we still be calling her a pro?

Open your minds

qatarisun, i clearly got the picture...my point is, regardless she is a prostitute or not, she is still a human being...living her own life the way she wahts it...the " 2 thumbs up go to her bravery...as i said, she is brave and confident enough to pursue what she

wants...

am not tyring to glorify her motives behind, just her guts to do it...

if a woman gives her card, she is a prostitute (?)....

in case of a man giving his card, how will u call him, qatarisun????

"never allow somebody to be ur priority when u r just his/her option"

it looks like we are talking about different things...or you r just teasing me...forget about it...

*********************

“You become responsible forever for what you have tamed”. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

adnan, I didn't "mean" it. Don't worry.

Here I have to correct you, QS. A man in company of a woman is far more attractive to another woman than a "loner". I always used this tactic when I wanted to stir up a new one. Called a "worn out" girl friend to make me look "hotter". It works like this.

No actaully i was not a coward but i was totally alone in that hall. I had to be coward and get away from the any sort of complication.

Anyways the incident explained here in this thread is not very common happening.

Did it ever come across your mind, dear MD, to read carefully my post? I said : maybe she wanted to get laid...i assumed that she is looking just for the good F***, that's it... why not? and you know, nothing even wrong with that! but it depends HOW and WHEN you do it...if you could notice, I keep repeating: “… offer herself IN THAT ugly WAY” …Listen, it happens: you are in your 20s, I am in my 20s, we meet at some bar, we drink a lot, we LIKE EACH OTHER (it means I like you and I know you like me)...we wake up in the morning, we even don't remember each other's name. We say 'buy' and everyone goes his/her own way... But this is not the case...

1.The woman approach the man who is accompanied by other woman - wrong

2. She is a waitress and she is at work, and she is there to serve the clients, not to harass them - double wrong

3. She even has no idea whether the guy liked her or not - no any pride whatsoever

So …either she desperately wants to get laid, or she is a prostitute. And whatever the reason is, it's not acceptable to harass the clients... Forget about woman’s pride. It is just against the rules in any service business. Can you imagine if for example entire hotel staff or "Four Seasons" will send their clients such messages? Do you still consider it as “nothing wrong with that”?

===================================== http://www.qatarliving.com/node/58409

b consious always u r in the world of two different sexes which really attract each other when they are in a very close interaction

You are unfair, Pitstop. I can read the letters min, lam, ta, ha, lam, zain, wow, del, but I don't know what they mean. Are you trying to tease me, or should I call my friend ............... bin Qassim Al Thani?

Quatarisun said:

as Oryx said.. i can never see myself even in the nightmare offering myself in that ugly way to some stranger, in front of his friends, and I even don't know what does he think about me..rrrrrr...must be so embarrassing!!

Girl, I got this big mirror inside my confession booth for situations like the one you mention. The question is: What the mirror will think of you? If you are missing on your knight with the chinning armor ?

“Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy when others are fearful,”

All I can say is ماعليك زود .. And thank you.

adnan! Coward!

"but that doesn't make it acceptable any bit." That's the line that made me doubt your qualifications to serve motorbike riders. I think your customers are not "normal" people. Not "normal" means they s*it on norms. Why would they ride a bike? It's an attitude. And that attitude is "freedom". Norms are for the others. But you are trying to put up norms by saying what you said. Did you get my idea?

No it happened to me once i was in USA in my student era. It was late night and i was working in the university hall which was just vacant at night becasue it was snowy outside. There was snow outside the campus. A (student) girl came and told me that she is very hungry, i never gave a second thought but said didn't you go to the cafe' nearby. She said "No" and said that she is waiting. I still was not understanding. She said come i will drop you at your home. Then i got little afraid and packed my laptop and walked as fast as i could.....

I did not spell your name correctly, please accept my apology for any distress this unintentional mistake might have caused you.

My point is again the same, you assume she wants money, she just asked a guy out....does that make her a bit*h or a prostitute.... certainly not in my book.

You can keep your narrow minded views of how women should be but don't use it to call somebody a prostitute, that’s rude and vulgar.

MagicDragon: Please explain.

Dont know why the man got embarrased. He must be thinking that the woman just gave her heart to him on the first sight and he must a good attractive man. Women never do this first i think that the guy must be very good looking.

it never happened to you, adnan?

PITSTOP, if you are what you are (according to your profile), then you won't sell anything to the "guys". If a guy rides a motorbike he will probably ignore all society norms. Why else should he want to be an "Easy Rider". I guess you work in the wrong shop.

brit, do you like the "conditional"?

She could be Asian..

LOL MagicDragon!!

You have a point there, and yes women do USE men - just as much as men USE women for their personal pleasures, but that doesn't make it acceptable any bit.

don't be "rude", speed.

[img_assist|nid=53652|title=|desc=|link=none|align=center|width=|height=0]

"I don’t think the guy would consider her for anything else but using her once or few times…". Did it ever come across your mind, dear QS, that women sometimes also "use him for once or few times"? And if he or she does it for "few times" then it is already suspicious as if there is something developing which later could be called "love". What is wrong with falling in love with a "prostitute" and marrying her because of her "skills". (Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere).

Interesting to read the comments.

Just to make things clear, she wasn't Asian and she didn't look like a prostitute.

She was a desperate single lady that needed some ***ual attention. That is what is sad about the whole situation. We were totally professional, talking with laptops open, catalogs on the table and total focus on our meeting subject - and this happens. He was just surprised that this would happen in Qatar. His comment was honest asking how this happened in Qatar. Yes, this is a free country. Yes, we are FOR democracy. Yes, she can do what she wants. Yes, we are all unique individuals - bla bla bla. BUT - You should always respect yourself first then you respect the place that you are in.

Courageous of her to act on his ***ual feeling towards the good looking man that was with me. But CHEAP to approach a man that wasn't even noticing her sitting across the table.

And a reply to cindy_rella:

'there it goes again, the "double standard" of the society...what's the difference between her and a man who gives his card to a woman??? what's the problem of pursuing what u want? and just simply being true to urself...we r all unique individuals...we have our own share of abilities and weakness...and this "woman" is brave enough to get what she wants...2 thumbs up for her...

and by the way, what can u say about wives who r working to help their husbands to make ends meet???

live and let live...'

I would not accept a man doing the same thing. People in a business meeting and a man sends his card to the pretty girl on the table. That is totally rude!

My colleague was very much embarrassed that he blushed and asked me to keep the card - saying he is a married man with two wonderful kids.

Sad, so sad.

hey, first of all could you spell my name correctly.. I don't think it is that hard!

second of all...as we could see, she is not the only one who is doing it. Few people only in QL witnessed the same things..so how do you call it if not hidden prostitution?

and anyway, for me the the woman offering herself to men in that way is a b*tch, nothing else...

Does she really expect to have a nice romantic relationship with the man after offering herself that way? She only wants to get laid.. of course for money...I don’t think the guy would consider her for anything else but using her once or few times…

Very strange story.

Just because she approached the man she liked... she became a prostitute????

thats something my friend

cindy_rella, you don't get it, do you? she is a prostitute and looking for the extra income after her work in the restaurant...it is a hidden way of the prostitution. They are not allowed to stand on the streets, and "to get what they want" by harassing men openly... so that's how they get their clients..

That's it..

now.. still "2 thumbs up for her"??

she can prefer ramada better.........

whew!!! good thing she's not ASIAN. . .

coz she will just add to the "DAMAGED" image of Asian women here in Qatar (or any other country) . . .

Well info provided above would be sufficient for manager of the resutrant to recoginize and fire her.

Poor girl will probably loose her job becuase she approached the man she liked and another girl did not have the decency to not to mention the resturants name.

She has a bunch of GUTS to do that . . .

maybe in her country things like that is just normal

(or accepted by society). . .and she thinks that it's cool (even for us - it's NOT). . .well whatever her reason of doing that - TO HELL WITH HER! :) peace hehehe

Dirty old slag.....could obviously sniff the dosh out a mile away wanting to be whisked out of her life relying on tips and giving punters something a little 'extra' with their Irish coffees....

As a Qatari i tell you....this kind of girls are play material....some will go along with them..but never marry them..no respect in society..and dishonor for the family....they are out there and dozens...so are idiotic men....all over the world.....but in Qatar its a future critical mistake to do.

Pitstop - The only party that needs to be embarrassed is the restaurant management. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this sort of behavior would be grounds for dismissal. Otherwise, I don't see anything wrong with it.

This reminds me of last weekend at the tennis. I was hanging around at the food court / stage area when I was approached by a single woman (asian). This time the proposal was more direct and very business like. LOL!

Pitstop, I would have been mortified if I'd taken two gentlemen to a business lunch in my (adopted) country and had this happen. I can't think of anything more unprofessional or embarrassing and I would have been afraid that my colleagues would have gotten an extremely bad impression of Qatar. That sort of unwelcome intrusion into a working atmosphere would have left a bad taste for me about the entire lunch. I generally do not complain about service personnel because I can't hold them responsible for things that are out of their control but in this case it seems the wait person was acting completely on her own recognizance. I would have at least had a quiet word with her about her extreme breach of etiquette. I hope your business colleagues understand that this is not characteristic of this country and that your business with them was not adversely affected.

Don't use a card.. Use cash and big bills.. That will impress her..

good for her, if she wants to meet men this way there is no harm in it as long as she doesn't go alone with him without getting to know him. I have read stories about women being ganged raped when meeting men like this. They go to their house under the pretense that there is a party and there are more guys waiting there to rape her. I don't know about qatar but in sweden it is a big problem. There have been many arrest of middle eastern and east indian men who commit these crimes. I wonder how safe women are in qatar regarding this topic?

I am always excited to go to sleep! In anticipation of the new experience I will find awaiting me.

Um, there's a word for girls like that.

"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach

at one of our meetings at a very wonderful hotel.

the waitress she came with the small black bill folder i put my card inside and this QL member sitting next to me he put cash in it. rest all were so damn busy they didnt notice. the waitress she took the bill now when she gets back here is what she does. she has the change in the folder for this member sitting next to me and hands me my card and bill to sign. now guess what was in the folder she put a small note for him. i will like to meet you this is my number and blah blah blah.

then at sheesha i wont name that too. another man gets the same thing she puts her detail time of meeting and date.

ah man i paid so many times never happened to me,

Now dont you guys ask me or guess who they are :P

they know who they are.

Too late..

I just rang the restaurant and pre booked all the tables..

ok brit....even though i still doubt your confidence regarding this matter.... but you still have to stand in lines anyway.. :)

“You become responsible forever for what you have tamed”. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

by the way.. i think this is one of the qatari rules as well, which i guess has something to do with the culture and religion: woman cannot approach the man.

When I first time came to qatar for my vacation, once I walked on the Corniche towards the souks, but was not sure how far the souk is. It was a middle of the day and basically there was no one around to ask. Finally I saw the man walking towards me, dressed in the pakistani style clothes (well, at that time I didn't know it was pakistani)...and I already opened my mouth to ask my question, but he stopped me by showing with his hand that he is not going to talk to me, and he passed by.. I was a bit disappointed. 5-10 minutes later i saw another man, dressed with the suit, he turned to be a syrian. So i asked him my question, he literally looked around and answered: "actually it's not right that you approach the man, but ok, i will help you"... then i knew why the first man even didn't dare to stop and listen to me..:)

... as Oryx said.. i can never see myself even in the nightmare offering myself in that ugly way to some stranger, in front of his friends, and I even don't know what does he think about me..rrrrrr...must be so embarrassing!!

should not make opinion on one's act

exceptions are every where...

I cant imagine ever ever doing that....

if you 'make eyes' at a boy and he doesn't respond well... that is a message i can receive loud and clear.

it wouldn't even cross my mind..... maybe she is braver and more honest than me!

I saw one incident while I was waiting for transit Bahrin airport. The was this long queue of indonesian gal's. My hubby told me that they are maids from agencies and usually they go in a group. I saw the girls were excitely talking about something. Out of sudden one of the gal run after a guy and pass him a piece of paper. the guy actually got shocked but he smile at her and kept the paper....

will pop up again ;-)

Oh ok, must have been a different gorgeous guy with gorgeous wife and 2 adorable kids. Just a concidence! :-D

i would give attention to that girl only if she looks like kiera. lol! seriously, it really turns me off if the girl makes the first move. its really not my thing.

cheers,

paul

notfromhere: I don't think so because the guys were on a business trip. They arrived at 11:30 am and are leaving tonight in an hour. So, unless your husband lives abroad :P

Never thought, NFH, you would marry someone as 'good looking' as George Clooney. LOL

Pieman, surely I do..

bad experience, my friend.. bad experience...

from my experience they can offer themselves very easy...

Pitstop, you were having lunch with my hubby? ;-)

I don't think she was Russian. On the card it said she was a Violinist I think, it said Violin.

The guy she thought was good looking was handsome, looked like George Clooney - married with a Gorgeous wife and two adorable kids.

DESPERATE!

Oh QS, she was a professional? I'm so naive....

Lol QS, i dont know why she did it, but it does take a confident woman to do that, but it was rude given pitstop was present.

qatarisun: so true, but local women are more discreet about it. I think.

let ME guess now.. she was russian, wasn't she?

LOL

"Everything in this book may be wrong." Illusions: The Adventures of The Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach

qatarisun ......................you just love Russians don´t you lol

just eat another pie

I don't think she did it because she liked the guy.. i think she had whole bunch of these cards and was giving them away to every man who looked more or less above avarage, i mean in terms of having money of course.....

PITSTOP let ME guess now.. she was russian, wasn't she?

*********************

“You become responsible forever for what you have tamed”. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

To me it seems just plain pathetic. Desperate.

Thats what i said pitsop, it was insensitive of her given that you were there.

heero_yuy2: loooooool I heard that somewhere.

why only "foreign" women? all women do it.. and I feel embarrassed for any woman who is doing it.. I just cannot understand one thing. Hundreds of single guys in Qatar desperately looking for the company/date/girlfriend.. they are willing to offer the girl everything they have.. and at the same time other guys/men are followed, get harassed... girls keep calling them, sending them e-mails with the bloody revealing photos of themselves, and such.. i am really confused here.. what makes girl/woman in general to take the first step towards the guy/man? and why on the earth any woman would do it in QATAR, where as i said, hundreds of men around...

The ugliest thing is when the local woman openly offers herself to the guy…

*********************

Just to make things clear, she was German or something. There was a +49 number on the card and she was blond.

heero_yuy2: not Asian at all.

nadt: true, but rude too. I was sitting there! Ok, I'm not his partner, but have some respect to the situation; we weren't at a bar.

casanova: lol I thought you'd say that.

That was kinda bold step....

I must salute the guts...

“We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give.”

Well i would say good for her, she saw someone she liked and had the guts to do something about it.

Having said that, i do think it was insensitive of her in this particular situation, given that their was a female sitting at the table, for all she knows you couldve been his wife/partner.

She's Asian?

Plenty of 'em around here. Means of survival or additional income. Hate how these women treat 'foreign' men as having the money to 'court' them. Sooo narrow-minded. And the sad part is they put family as a reason for them to do it. I don't know whether to pity them or not. It also degrades the perspective of the woman's certain country by what they're doing, losing respect.

To those related women who may be reading this: this is not always the solution. Don't force yourself to do it. Means you lack faith in yourself. There's always a way to earn...and make it right.
