I have been here a long time and in the past yes the Qataris were different than they are now. Some if it with men is cultural they feel they are better than the women so they don't hold a door open for a women or allow women to cross the road, plus they were never taught the same manners we abide by in the West. In the past many people of all Arab nationalities would stop to help you if you had a problem on the road, which I don't see much of now. Kuwaitis were always arrogant but everyone knew it. MONEY tends to make people think they are better than everyone else. Each Arab country thinks they are better than the other! Funny each society tends to have a class system some more developed than others. I find here now when people are rude I try to figure out what happened in their day to make them feel off as it happens everywhere in the world.
