Personality, and to quote Sammie, not looking like the dog's dinner. :D

I like tall QatarCat (beleive I said that). I'm not a huge fan of blonde though. I like being the only blonde in a relationship. And for some reason I don't like muscular men, I like a guy I can wrestle with and not neccessarily get my ass totally whooped.

But in all honesty I think I've dated short and skinny and short and muscular and tall and muscular, of various colours and nationalities. So really when it comes down to it its personality.

Nice try Butterfly.

I was saying well done because you are into muscles and not just pretty boys. I thought all spaniards were into the latter.

super are you scottish???

That scottish was fun for a while. After boring boring boring. And when I tried to get rid of him he became a nightmare.

So I wouldn´t recommend scottish.

Well was in London all last week and the weekend before so that explains it a bit.

You are getting boaring! have not seen you out for a while now what's wrong with you?

Oh and by the way he is scottish!!!

Yes it was.

Probably.

When was this? Oh if your talking about Garveys then that is a friend and no not that kinda friend either don't see him in that light!

Are you out tonight?

I don't know who it was but you seemed pretty friendly.

He was shorter than you (or seemed to be) though.

Oh and who would that be? Have not seen anything to my tastes yet!

No saying nice things about scottish people on my watch please.

Sammie I seem to remember that you are fond of dark. DArk and shortish?

Butterfly scottish people are a laugh anyway! Dark is better with whatever colour eyes not fussy as long as they treat you right and don't look like the dog's dinner!

Yeay for Butterfly. I though spanish women were into the little football player kind of guys.

"so you all like skinny people... hmm I guess I am the only one so far who goes for tall! :^)"

That is what Qatar Cat said

Nooo, I think only DG likes skinny.

I don´t like fat, but a little meat and muscle, just generally big. Not fat. I don´t particularly mind colour of hair, although I tend to prefer dark. Once I had a ginger scottish boyfriend and I had so much fun with all that ginger hair!

I agree but what I meant was for Qatar Cat that tall and skinny are not mutually exclusive.

Qatar Cat said everyone likes skinny but not tall. I meant that those who liked skinny may also like tall.

Tall doesnt always mean skinny... but tall and fat people look horrible. I like tall and normal, not skinny, not fat :^)

I don't like skinny men at all. Blonde, white and skinny doesn't do it for me, DG :p

Not really. Lots of tall men are big and lots of small men are skinny.

Tall = skinny most of the time

Skinny men is not a good thing for me god you would always feel you look fat against them

LOL yeah a lot of arabs and men from subcontinent pull their trousers way up... and flash their short socks or dirty feet in sandals :p

so you all like skinny people... hmm I guess I am the only one so far who goes for tall! :^)

Foxi 25 what mistake are you referring to?

Sandie DG mentioned that she would have to pull her jeans up very high further down this topic.

You may have noticed that there is a tendency for Arab gentlemen in the region to pull their trousers up way above their waist. Many of the police are particularly fond of this style.

So Arab stylee etc refers to that.

What does "Arab styleeee

Go for the up round the armpits." mean?

well done DG. this topic became a chatting room :) rather than a discusion. Going to Dubai tomorrow. wish u all happy weekend. for u DG read this message after tomorrow ;)

I was three sheets to the wind as we say in Canada.

Think you made that mistake already Super7 - just a thought tho!

I'm a terrible wine taster. All I ever get is......"Wine, tastes like wine" no smoked artichokes, pickled blueberries or anything.

I'm going now. Have a nice evening all.

I'm a terrible wine taster. All I ever get is......"Wine, tastes like wine" no smoked artichokes, pickled blueberries or anything.

I'm going not. Have a nice evening all.

why dohagirl and super7 didnot get along together while they met

Someday Super will be a great wine taster. :D

Foxi you are absolutely right. i used to make that mistake but now err on the side of them being impure.

In fact the ones who seem pure at first turn out to be the most impure in many instances.

No I would never be naive enough to write them off before I knew for sure.

Models/actresses (i prefer actresses for your reasons although there are some stunning models. I am not into that heroin chic look at all)

Same point though

Foxi25 who is LK?

I don't understand why people like models. I ran into a group in Paris and they look so skinny its revolting. Now actresses I can understand, look at Catherine Zeta Jones or Angelina Jolie, they both stunning and have a little meat on their bones.

coz it's P A R T Y night

Sammie the everyone likes different stuff is a security blanket. Everyone settles for different stuff I agree.

Everyone likes similar otherwise models would get no work.

I have met DG and she is not big boned, wide hipped or fat. i was only teasing

Travelgate sorry in answer to your question before don't know if i would meet up with everybody. With the size matters yes you could like bigger people and hate smaller ones so your right

I think you should make sure that you're a good judge of charcter before you catagorise girls into pure and unpure LK - you'll more than likley lose out if you don't do the former

Actually I was really drunk Sammie so I don't remember to much. Thursday nights are never the best nights to meet me. :)

How am I famous Travel Gate? I don't have a big butt (at least I hope not!)

if u can realize the hitting dancing of colored american, it is all about the big butt. same applies in the middle east. DG u r famous from now on. About size, it matters. atleast that is what i think.

So was it a nice experience meet him then? he can be a charmer when he wants to be nice guy really just would not know that from this site!

At the end of the day size is not an issue everyone is to their own no two people like the same thing!

Arab styleeee

Go for the up round the armpits. You'll look cool

I know Sammie, I was simply responding to Supers statement about Scottish size 8s. He's met me once and I don't think anyone would ever guess that I was a size 8.

Dg, why ppl stepped back, if u have an answer. Please super7 and sammie can u respond on that suggestion. seriously,ok:) no size issue :)

That's right Sammie.

I did not mean you Dohagirl i meant the one with the big ego

I have wide set hips, nothing I can do about it unless I shave off some bone or wear my jeans up around my armpits.

Your not exactly a slim jim yourself!!!

I have figured it out now! Oh and the picture is quite life like!!!!

Jesus Scottish size 8s are in a different league altogether. Deep fried everything.

We tried that a while ago TravelGate but everyone backed out at the last minute. I guess we like our anonimity.

Just think of me as "supercocker"

I like it.

what do u think guys if i arranged a meeting to ppl here in a hotel like a reception. would u pleae vote on it.

Actually I'm wearing a pair of size 8's I bought in Scotland.

Yeah but you are a north american size 8

what i meant was super knows me but with the name super it is a bit hard to guess who it was!!!!

sammie, what do u mean.

tell me who you are or email me on [email protected]

stupid double posts

I'm allergic to some fruits TravelGate, so I have to stick to the same ones.

And don't worry Sammie, I'm a size 8 too.

are fat girls that hated??? no every woman has her own taste ;)ladies do u all like to have the same fruit for ever, in case u have the option to change

!!!!!!!

Gotta love small town Doha eh Super. Everybody knows everybody.

No she isn't.

???

Anything for a laugh DG plus I had worked out who Sammie was so it was funnier still.

Super this is why you never call girls fat. :D

Tell what?

reveal your identity?

Never!

You git go on tell and you know what i mean

Good luck with that Super :)

But you support Portugal v England because you have a bit of spanish in you?

Butterfly not anorexic just no fat. Sporty chick with a few muscles is better than everything. Don't like blubber.

Female tennis player (who is good) would be perfect

Butterfly in answer to your question give me a hunky well toned and built guy any day so over here not a chance the doha belly gets the better of them!

As for you super size 8 in england is not big considering there is only one size below that! But considering i am 5ft 8 it is hard to get fat!!!

Actually i was born in Epsom Downs in Surrey but the last place i lived was Hereford on the Welsh boarder!

butterfly just to calrify. not group sex!! i mean a group going out to pub or cafe'

Can we change mine to just tall and skinny, I sound a bit like a neo-nazi when you say white. :)

So travel likes groups

Super7 likes small butts, leggi and anorexic.

DG likes white tall and skinny

Me I like my husband: tan, strong and the most gorgeous smile

Who else? Sammie? How do you like them?

No DG I am sure we don't but I was generalising. You said earlier (before your caveat) that you had met lots.

Sammie you appear to have risen to my bait. Size 8 US or UK? Size 8 US is huge these days :)

Are you welsh? or west England?

Oh sammie let the guy live with what he has

I think we might have different opinions on what is considered big. And thank you for the complete absence of thin girls comment after saying that I go all the time. I'll start purging when I get back to Doha.

Well if you call a size 8 big then you are from another world!!!

Come off it DG you always go to Rydges and I recently decided never to go there again because of the complete absence of pretty, thin girls.

Where are they all?

Paloma alright.

Pearl better but hate the place because of the bouncer etc

What i really prefer is first to meet in a group of 4 to 6. As to have no concentration on just one speak one listen, and all the stuff of watching the tinny attitude from the first meeting. both parties is tension and tries to get the best out of her/him self. while in a group ur possibility to have a good time is higher. and if any person with hidden agenda will be redirected by the group. then the selection process according to same profiles. I just tried and it worked better than one to one.

Lots of course being a relative term, what I should say is I've met tens of girls.

Oh yeah. Why?

Big chicks are pretty common out here so you might not stand out.

Thinking about it I've met lots of pretty, thin girls (maybe not Kate Moss thin but fit) in Doha. I actually haven't met very many big girls. Maybe I'm not going to the right places?

You are funny!!!! You would remember if youu did!!!!

Supercocker.... thanks Sammie.

Didn't realise we'd met

This is totally off topic but I find it really funny that I've gotten a better tan in Italy and Canada than I did in my 7 months in Doha. I've heard it's because the ozone layer is thicker over the Middle East than it is over Europe and North America.

And how would you describe yourself supercocker?

I prefer tan but skinny good.

Small ar5e nice legs.

Yes I suppose Doha would be heaven for any girl with a weight problem and low self esteem. But not every girl in Doha is fat and ugly. And there are lots of guys who let themselves go when they come to Doha too.

DG I have been to plenty of places in the last couple of years. Toronto, Vancouver, London, California, Nevada, Florida

All places with your "obesity problem".

There are, as a percentage of girls present, more girls there with nice figures and nice faces than there are in Doha.

Doha is a haven for the ugly, fat chick. There was a Top tip in an adult comic called Viz in the UK. It read "Ugly chicks - become better looking instantly. Move North". I think the tip would apply to Doha just as well (Move to Doha)

I was a big David Bowie fan in my youth. :)

skinny and white???? DG what´s wrong with you?

Ok. Afro and TravelGate I do have normal relationships with people. I have guy friends that I do not assume want to have sex with me and I do not want to have sex with them. However, we are not talking about friendship relationships, we are talking about dating.

My problem is when I do meet a guy that is interesting he tends to sense the interest and comes on WAY to strong, and I run away because I've dated guys like that to often in the past, one second they are all "I think you're great, I think you're wonderful, blah blah blah, Oh wait I've had sex with you now I'm going to move on" or "What you think I'm wonderful too AHHHH! run away".

They put on such an act that it is nearly impossible to tell the real person from the facade.

Dating overseas, not just in Doha but anywhere in Asia, is like walking through a minefeild, there are safe patches, but for the most part anywhere you step you're going to get burned.

In many cases single people who go overseas are people who where not happy in there own country for whatever reason, and have left to try to make themselves happy somewhere else only to find that their demons have followed them. I am a prime example of that. :)

Super, I don't know which countries you've been in in the last while but girls are fat everywhere (except Eastern Asia). The same could equally be said about men, especially men in Doha. Unfortunatly the Western world is experiencing an obesity problem, Luckily one I do not suffer from ;)I for one can't stand it cause I go for really skinny men, I was in guy heaven in London, tall, skinny and looking like they hadn't seen the sun in years, my kind of guys.

Good point travel gate! AT the end of the day what would us ladies say is a good approach maybe we watch too many movies and want it that way! I say friendship is the way forward then you can evaluate if you really like the guy or not but sometimes that back fires when the emotion is not felt back god i know how that feels!

"What is ur expectation for good approaching that might result in any form of relation?"

Well, I expect nothing cos I´m happily married, so no matter how good it comes, It would´n´t do anything for me.

But

Just be gentle, confident, funny, original and dont look too desperate.

The other day, as I was coming out of the sea a guy said to me: "wow, and they said that there were no sirens left!" I though it was a really pretty thing to say, but since I´m married I didn´t give him and second glimse and walked away. But it was really original and funny, it might have worked if I was single.

Women can not find the right man in qatar, and they find men weird approaching them. ok, How can a good man get to know u, is there any way -you find appropriate- for men to approach women in qatar.

Woman with x-martial experience or pure women are all the same if u looking friendship. but u ladies always go furthur than that in ur prospected relation!!! SEX. you presumed that each man wants to score. partially it is true, but not all the way it holds.

And yes the rare existence of women in qatar led some men nuts -save me god, please- this is the reality men and women have to deal with!!

So the question again is, What is ur expectation for good approaching that might result in any form of relation?

"And what is your general opinion about Western girls now that you've lived overseas."

One of your questions that has remained more or less unanswered.

One of the side effects of the imbalance in numbers is that women hold most of the cards in Doha.

So western women here tend to let themselves go. Western girls in Doha are remarkably fat and ugly compared to what one would expect in a sunny climate. Also when lads do meet western girls here who they end up with the women often punch well above their weight looks wise. Some of the things people marry here because they want to get married amaze me. I feel like begging them to go home for a bit to "see sense".

People think I am quite picky here but I am not at all I have just retained the same standards (more or less) as I did when I was in London.

So I basically think that the majority (this rule is not absolute) of western girls in Doha are pretty rough.

Shape wise I think I am more or less normal GIASI

Super...Im sorry, i really didnt mean to imply that you were in any shape or form "normal" :)

Giasi I said that there are lots of normal single lads in Doha. I did not say I was one of them.

I'm afraid that my behaviour would only end up stopping DG from dating for another year.

Anyway I am not in Doha for months so planning on filling my boots elsewhere!!

So dohagirl? are you going to give super a chance to destroy all your apparent misconceptions about all the men in doha?

then you can come on here and kiss and tell :P

As a matter of fact, if you read the New testament nothing is said about "purity". The bible does mention it as a sin(Sodoma, I think) , but doesn´t get too much bad press. The worst sin in the Bible is Avarice, the root of all evil.

The church only started to condemn all sexual behaviour from the third century. It´s all a campaign from the catholic church. Who cares?

Besides, who says I am a good catholic.

It´s fun to get to know the guy before things really heat up, so desire keeps you on your toes.

"Whether you wait a week, month, two months eventually you are going to have it and then what? My point being that witholding it to sustain the relationship's spice is futile as for the relationship to last another level must be involeved anyway"

Yes but hopefully by the time you´ve jump into bed, you already care for the guy. It´s not like jumping into bed with someone you don´t give a damn about. After that, it´s up to the couple to spice things up.

Yes there are plenty of normal lads in Doha. The married ones. The single ones are weirdos.

Butterfly it is all Qatar Airways's fault.

In Dubai the proportions are largely balanced because of the large numbers of Emirates cabin crew. QA also has a large amount of cabin crew but unfortunately only a very small proportion of them go out. In Dubai most of the cabin crew go out.

So the remedy to all our issues (DG the proportion will improve so you won't feel so put upon AND guys there will be more choice so you won't have to sacrifice standards for a shag) is for QA to stop treating the staff so badly and recruit more from Europe and Australia and South Africa.

Dating wrong people is better than not dating, I've always said that ;-)

Dating wrong people is fun.

good catholic girl like you butterfly...?

Presumably you have only been with your husband so you don't really have much to compare it with?

Oh and other problem with pure girls. There is normally a reason for their purity..religion, some kind of hang up, weird beliefs all of which would make a relationship with me unlikely. Hence tend to prefer unpure types.

Butterfly your suggestion about waiting is nonesense. It implies that once you have nothing left to wait for the relationship has run its course.

In which case you'd better never have sex or it will all be over.

Whether you wait a week, month, two months eventually you are going to have it and then what? My point being that witholding it to sustain the relationship's spice is futile as for the relationship to last another level must be involeved anyway.

There are plenty of normal lads in Doha let me assure you.

I was talkin about doha girl comment “I think I do have normal interactions with people :? The problem is that it is very difficult to tell what is under a guys facade, they don't let those things drop until they've got what they wanted.�

Well I think girls here r really weird, and they don’t even give the chance or wait for the result they well start assuming that “ this is not gona work� “lets pull out easy now� even that I have been thru bad relation lately but still I don’t judge the book by its cover , the cover can b interesting and pushin me to read the contains of the book or it can b the other way but I’ll only read if I really feel like .. so its kind of internal feelin if u know wat I mean. (I hope u ppl get the book example)

According to a recent Mori poll owning a dog brings greater happiness than being in a relationship. So there you have it!

I think DG and Super7 are a perfect match......

Dohagirl; it's the way people are. There's no litmus test to figure out if people are sincere or not. We just have to assume that no-one cares about us more than ourselves and work from there.

You don't have to be ruthless, just cagey.

That last comment came up twice. so I just put Boo.

Dohagirl, Boo what?

Afro: Think about what?

Is that wat u think??

Boo

I think I do have normal interactions with people :? The problem is that it is very difficult to tell what is under a guys facade, they don't let those things drop until they've got what they wanted.

Moving won't necessarily sort out the situation. However I'm not saying you should date, either.

Men are what they are. The problem with the Middle East and its indigenous populations is that it is struggling to come to terms with reality so a majority of people, in this case men, will adopt an outwardly accpetable aura while their convictions lie elsewhere. So what is permissible for the man is impermissible for that man's female relatives. It's schizophrenic. I think The Times published an article last year whose headline read "We Can Hold Hands and Kiss in Public while Married Couples Can't: homosexuals in Saudi Arabia."

This problem is not only social; it extends to other spheres of life in the region but that's the context we're talking about now.

However there is a positive side to this in Qatar with women being given special treatment. I've seen it in government offices, at Q-Tel, with the police.

But that makes little difference to those seeking fulfilling companionship.

Qatar doesn't afford couples the opportunity to be expressive unless you gout to a place like Admiral's or Pearl. Taking the kids out to a fun activity is a chore. Yes, we go to the beach, once in a while to the zoo but there isn't a park to speak of, no museums, no family-oriented activities... But happy families do exist and happy children make life so much more tolerable. Ultimately we are missing much in Qatar but the country has come a very long way in the past ten years.

Why don't you have normal contact with people and let your intuition guide you not only to the intentions of this guy or that but also to what actually lies beneath the facade?

I've lived and worked in Kuwait, the US, the UK and must have travelled to more than 30 countries and believe me the gender-based issue of relationships is the same everywhere with local idiosyncracies applying the difference here and there.

Dubai -sighhhhhhh. land of treasures

Work, Work, Work butterfly, no other reason. But at least you finally answered my initial question. Thanks. ;)

Super´s ego. He is gone. Supeeer sorry, I was just teasing you!!! It was a jokeeeeee!

Oh well, back to the topic...

Qatar is a terrible terrible terrible place for a single western girl. Really. I don´t know what the hell you are doing there, but if you want to meet Someone special don´t go out in Doha. Just don´t. Go to Dubai. Is just around the corner. Lots of "normal" singles there. Great night scene. Good proporcion of male-female. Men are not desperate like they are in doha. It´s like entering the normal world again.

So, just look for normal guys in a normal place.

Butterfly, u r wise. It is to start with friendship in mind, and do not make any silly acts to ruin it. if it evolves from both sides, that is good. If not we are left with lovely meanings lying in friendship

Thats my opinion as well butterfly. My quick shag days are over and I want to get to know a guy before I get intimate. The problem I am experiencing is that due to the lack of women in Qatar a lot of guys are...shall we say desperate for some lovin. They want sex the first night they meet you and when they don't get it they get angry and refuse to have anything to do with you, they aren't very interested in taking things slow and I think the concept of just friends has gone flying out the window. I think that this is probably something that wouldn't occur in a place where the gender percentages were more equal.

I don't like the idea of a guy chasing after me just so he can get me in bed and than ditch me when he has.

If a guy is looking just for a shag they can go pay someone for ten minutes. Same applies for a girl that is looking for it.

Meeting someone should be fun. If you go and fukc inmediately, the fun is gone. There is nothing else to look forward to, nothing to play with. Better play a little, get to know eachother, have fun, become friends and leave the sex for later on.

LOL :D I knew this topic would get interesting. ;)

you are a brit, so probably a terrible lover :D

All the ones I´ve met are the same: to much barking, but then they can´t bite

Butterfly it is not a question of boring really (even though that is the word I used) I think it is more being turned on by attitude.

So a girl who was into sex (and thus have an attitude that I would dig) would probably have had a few partners (unless as I mentioned she was in a long relationship).

Obviously the rule doesn't work but all this came from me basically saying that I don't have any hang ups about a girl who has slept with a few people. And if I had to choose I would probably choose a girl who had.

There are some "pure" girls who are more keen on sex than girls who've been around the block a little.

do you actually thing that a woman who hasn´t had that many lovers is boring??? You musn´t be that experinced then Super

Agreed. I really don't understand the fascination with virgins. I mean, who wants 40 virgins when they die? That would be 40 women you would have to "break in" they wouldn't know what they were doing, they wouldn't enjoy themselves. I really think that would be horrible!

Sex is far more enjoyable the more experience you have.

but DG by the same token I would like any girl I was with to have had a few "notches" (unless she had been in massive long relationship) simply because I am not particularly fond of prudish girls and like them to be quite keen on the whole sex thing.

I would much prefer a girl who had put it about a bit because she enjoys it than someone pure and boring.

Qatari needs to let us delete our post boxes.

I would actually prefer the guy I'm with to have more "notches" than me as well. It probably has something to do with some gender sterotype that we are ingrained with from youth...Or I just don't want a guy who doesn't know what hes doing, I'm not a very good teacher. :)

I posted my previous one twice then tried to delete it. It wouldn't let you leave the comment box blank so I wrote hi

hi?

hi

No number. Slut is more in attitude and character than a numbers thing.

I know a few girls who have put it about plenty and I wouldn't consider them sluts but have met a few girls who on paper would appear nuns in comparison but come across as slutty.

I guess if I am perfectly honest I would prefer the girl I ended up with to have slept with less people than me but that would probably be a competitive thing than anything else.

In fact both my last two girlfriends had more "notches" than me

Good point.

Ah! so here's a question. How many men does a girl have to sleep with out of wedlock before she is considered a "slut"?

Having interacted with me on the forum what do you think?

I am nothing if not consistently childish

Good girl? For changing the subject or for having sex?

Good girl.

Believe me I've had more than enough shags and short term relationships in the last couple of years that I'm bored with them.

But I believed I've changed the subject, Peeing on the National War Memorial...?

I was hoping for some real debate here, something to keep me occupied at work.

Jump, screw, get laid...enough?

Hope your having a good time over there! At the end of the day if you look for it you will never find it! How do you kow if the guy is one you want a relationship with i mean long term if you do not date him to begin with?

I have many male friends that think they are the joey's (from friends) of the world then they take out a girl with no other idea than to just have a quick one and end up really liking them one even got married to his so i guess i am saying you can not put a time frame on when this might happen just relax and be yourself!

just to increase my GK whats a Shag? i know of one term for shag i hope you didnt mean that.

Yeah stop being so serious and have some fun. All this analysis and whatnot just go and enjoy yourself.

What is wrong with a "shag"?

There are plenty of people looking for relationships out here, certainly amongst my friends there are. "shags" too though. More a case of whether you like her enough to want to see her again.

I think you should just go in with an attitude of being here to enjoy yourself. Don't get hung up on the serious analytical side and see what happens.

DG.... you poor thing you... :) just kidding. Well, as far as i am concerned, im not looking for either. But, if you want my experience, the best way to meet people in the mid east is through people u know. Thats really the only way i have tried in this part of the world.

Cold dating is just too disheartening because of the jerk factor, and not dating is plain boring.

Well doha girl im in the same boat but with less options... I don’t got the option to wait 4 couple of year to go back to easy western world and I don’t got to the option to laid back and relax while men well make the proposal!!

Allow me to show u some things from the male side searchin for some one here in Qatar the normal way .. 1-observing and waiting for my chance it wouldn’t work, so he might 2-try to talk to some girls but the problem is they dont have a ring in the hand sayin that they r engaged ,they not wearing a t-shirt says im in relation with name of the other half and even if they r single they not holding board written in it I dont want any relation and even if I do (the I here referred to the female who Iis wearing the t-shirt) wouldnt start with u. so he might stop and start thinking oh so how is it like for a poor single guy to date here ?? should he hold a board written in it im dispirit normal guy lookin for relationship ??..

He might try the internet as the last option coz the normal wayz didnt work out, so lets try the 3-internet but he didnt know that there is many ppl tried it b4 him, there is many jerks, freakz and normal ppl its really mixed up but still the problem is up few girls on the net and most of them r buzy in relation but they still postin them profiles!! And the rest who r singles weather they want American or European guys or @ lest they well conceder u internet freak and they wont answer u.

Now lets start the suggestions part I’ll start with my self

I suggest that 1- if the girl lookin for relation here y doesn’t she pick the man she want?? I mean if she saw somebody on the mall and she been watching here y don’t she make it easy on both and step to him ask him about some thing, he well answer with a smile, well she might wana ask about another thing with a smile back and there u go I guess u guyz well click

2- the internet u guyz try to come up with decent dating site here in Doha instead of and e-bay for Doha like wat I read some where on this site or at lest part of it well b for dating!!

All the above mentioned is only my opinion, I hope everybody discuss his opinion here healthy with out any discrimination.

Oh by the way instead of hiding and running away from problems I like to face it so dweller if u don’t have a problem in relationship don’t spoil the discussion for the ppl how have (no offence)

Probably Dweller, I guess its cause I can't be bothered to do it anymore and it seems to illicit the most amount of responses from people. Hey, maybe I'm looking to see if someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong :P.

Also from the other sites I've read people seem to have a lot of opinions about how, where and when you meet the "right" person (if there is such a thing). One of the biggest things I've encountered is a very negative view towards Western women, another is the opinion that since "I'm living overseas, why would I bother looking for a steady relationship."

For the last 8 months I've sat around observing people go through the "mating dance" and it fascinates me. I guess I'm kind of looking to see if there are any rules to it.

Mostly I just want to see if people think Doha is a good place to meet someone. I don't believe it is, but maybe I'm wrong.

Also Dweller I couldn't think of a good political topic to talk about...if we want to change subjects "three Canadians pissed on the War Memorial, what do you think should happen to them?"

I think they should be sent to Afghanistan, anyone else?

My advice is: taste as many fishes as you can. Then, when you find the ONE, you will know for sure that´s the best one ;)

You appear to have an un-natural obsession with this type of topic!

:)

Your post is very interesting... if you want honesty ... you got it.

It is impossible to say if you are looking for long term relationship until you know the person well, thats where dating comes in. You hang out and sometimes chemistry develops and other times you know that you are not compatible with that person. One should not enter into relationship with notion of making it work.

You said "Should I bother to start dating again or wait a couple of years until I move on back to a Western country?" do you really think that dating in western country would be any different?
