Hi DaRuDe
The problem is - these idiots put you 'on guard' and make you suspicious. For me it does brush off on my personality and if someone nice says something I can become like a hedgehog... quite defensive and not too gracious.

This is why it was so great to go to Europe I just felt all this stress and defensiveness and roughness just melt away.

It is hard to stay serene and lovely with the aggressive driving and constant staring and remarks.

but it does make me super appreciate all the gentlemen in my life who are lovely.

Many men including Qataris are disgusted that us girls get this treatment... it makes them furious. I was 'solicited' in Hamad Hossie car park on thursday morning. I took out my phone took a picture of the plate.
A Qatari pulled up - and asked if I was ok and if i needed help.
he could see what had happened and he was angry.
I was fine - but the offer was kind.

I think us girls should carry an Egal with 'tails' so we can just whip them with it if they come near! :)
