I've been watching this threads for days and I get to say it's so typical.
Women are looking for love while Men are looking for sex most of the time everywhere,EAST,WEST,NORTH or SOUTH.
women from the west have their own culture and traditions,which is different from ours.Am not saying our culture or traditions are better,it's just different and each has it's advantages and disadvantages.
on the 7th of Feb 1971,swiss women could vote http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/february/7/newsid_27380...
while in Egypt,Syria they could since 1956,1949 resp.however this doesn't mean women in Syria or Egypt were living better life than swiss women.
we should all be happy that things are changing and people are moving toward integration and mutual understanding.
I can bet that half or more of the western expat had different opinions about muslims and arabs before they have arrived in the country.
dating and love have no regional or general rules,two people can date for years and breakup in seconds for silly reasons.
as a general rule,a qatari would think thousands of times before having a longterm or serious relationships with any non qatari lady,for many reasons.
something else to add arabs have no specific skin colour,it depends on the country and historical backgrounds,arabs were mixing with different races and cultures,which indicates their open minded mentality for centuries.
we should all make love not war ;)
