Why doesn't Qatar have a Matrimonial website?

Hmm tats dangerous in this part of the world lol

Agreed. Girls who cruise portocabins are covered in another thread...

nothing under 2008....Gotta have some class;-P

its the car you'll be cruising in..;-P

Xena/Khawaga some of them drives Merc S class and lives in porto cabins, beware :)

I got the eye and smile from a guy in a 2002 Lexus and I'm torn. On the one hand, dude drives a Lexus. On the other hand, it's a 2002... Your thoughts? LOL

naughty girls....;)

I can tell whether or not he has enough money to sustain me... just by looking at his car;-P

Then again, maybe not.... he might have spend it all on the car;-P

mmyke: Not just on those sites. Pickins in Doha are pretty slim...

Xena: it seems we're dating the same kinds of men. Traffic is a much better dating site than QL!

QL is a dating site...

if you know how to use it.... ;)

at those 2 sites mentioned above...

pretty slim pickin's to say the least! :)

be under the same username I always use;-P

and no... haven't needed a dating site since I got to Doha... all the men I date give me their phone numbers in parking lots;-P

Just went on to datingbuzz.com... great site..

Quick Question: Are you by any chance Svelte and Sultry from Doha ????

arabmatchmaking.com is really a good site, one of my friend hooked up with a girl from uae..... :D

haven't you heard of Qiran.com or Arabmatchmaking.com?

There is also Datingbuzz.com that would be better for westerners, but the other two are also good...;-P

Qatar is like 85 or so of 187 countries in the world in the pecking order...

how do you reconcile this?

I am not looking for a fight, but I would like Qatar to move into position #1

...but it can't do that unless it wants to leave position # 85

,,,correct??

Just as, we expect the Qatari Govt. to have leniency in rules for the expatriates...the Govt. & Locals also expect due respect & understanding towards their culture, traditions & social values by us, the expatriate community.

I consider them moderate as compared to others in the region except UAE. I believe, respecting human rights & equality (to some extent) are more important than these petty issues.

i heard that they are all gay.. :(

this is what happens when this sort of constriction happens...its terrible.

Saudi is worst, but the parties are better :O)

mmyke: Sorry dude, every country's culture and laws are different and you need to play by those rules. But, the way I look at it is, there are no undue restrictions in Qatar except for the stupid Friday is only for families day rules at the malls...

Saudi is the worst.

are these rules the worst??

let me know..

and do they affect effectiveness and performance?

all people and country have there Culture, Religion and customs. if you go to europe you will follow there rules not Qatri ruls, if we have to live in Qatar we must respect the Culture, religion etc, if one don't like He or she is free to move another country. Qatar have Law like other Countries. everyone must respect.

i agree with you mmyke but the thing is we are working in their country so we have to adjust :(

or even want to impose their rules on us when they dont apply??

It only causes disfunctionality in our cultures where it did not exist before...

Unless they are wanting to only have a labour camp...and not a society.

mmyke, says who? I do not agree that people aren't allowed to hang out and have fun! I don't know where you are getting such information. I have seen a lot of non-married people hang out IN PUBLIC and it was totally NORMAL.

And you really meet nice people if you go to a bar here?

We are expatrates, We have to follow the rules of the country, respect their culture and tradition. We came here just to earn money and then quit from here. Don't say something which will hurt the qataris. There are plenty of websites of matrimonials, even you can get somethings else too. Don't worry where there is will there is a way. Ok

Because nobody wants to marry an abaya.

mmyke I completely agree with you..... But many of my questions have been answered in this very way. We just need to accept that they are not going to try to understand our way of life. Many things that we assume to be normal can land you in Jail out here...dating, and sexes out of wed-lock are a good example of this. By the way claiming that you are un-aware of the law because you are an expat, not only is no excuse. It will usually be levied harsher punishment.

there are many very nice and wonderful people in Qatar that are being kept apart and from meeting each other due to this silliness.

We were born and raised in very good families, taught and were raised to high standards, and we are not to be governed by other cultural standards which do not apply.We are good people.

I will stack excellent expat standards regarding morality, choosing and courting a mate, raising a family, etc. at any time, at any place against any culture.

It has been proven over time, anywhere that it is no better or no worse than anyone else,,,it is the law of large numbers which rules this,,,,

so why not??

Could you imagine how productive and pleasant Qatar would be if expats were allowed to live normally in this regard?

Thx

Google is your friend http://www.google.com.qa/search?q=qatar+matrimonial+website

The FB link u attached,one photo of Elephant is nice

mmyke, It will come soon with your effort..he hehee

So Unlike..

Just for you................... Have Fun :O)

with the fairer sex already!! :)

Thats why I am on here on a Friday afternoon obviously! :)

Why don't you start 1 ;)

completely wrong.

This may be what the Arabs believe and they should keep it to their own, but for outworlders a different set of standards apply.

They are kinda crazy about this, they belive that even platonic meetings of single men and women who are not married or blood related, are bad. So they are Haram (forbiden under sharia law), thats why no dating web sites.

there is always bad apples in the barrel, but that shouldn't keep good people from finding each other...

but u can choose qataries on registerin othr matrimonial sites also !!!

Virtual dating sites usually attract sickos and most lie about themselves. So, It's always better to meet in person..

what I am talking about...a marriage website would allow good people to meet each other without goingto bars etc.

In Qatar the sexes cannot mingle in any meaningful way, and this would allow for a much healthier and better lifestyle here if there was such a site.

mmyke, I think there are a lot of people have have met people out of bars. I think you are looking in the wrong places if you are looking for a marriage/commitment.
