Anti-Bachelor Day

Last Eid I was shooed away from the Corniche and prohibited entry to Malls coz I am single. Does anyone know what the anti-bachelor days/timings are during this holidays?

sad, but it's happening in doha... just go to the mall in good clothes and pray that the guards will let you in... good luck....

its very true discrimination is rife here in Qatar and its a shame because its these very people that keep this country functioning.. I myself have been challenged once on the numerous family days i have entered during to which i replied i am meeting my wife and was let in immediately.

I am using labeledas' wording, my friend. I myself am "poorly" dressed. I hate suits and ties.

magic.. its ok if they did not allowed smelly people inside... but for the so called "poorly dressed" singles, what do u mean?.. maybe thats the only thing that they can afford.. remember, not everybody here in doha is earning that much to spend on fancy clothes.. the thing is, during these mall family days, mall authorities are "profiling" single people.. not all bchelors are restricted... i know you know what i mean.

I just returned from Villagio. They rejected some "smelly, poorly dressed" singles. Yes.

I read in the paper a few months back that their definition of a bachelor was and i quote " a smelly poorly dressed single man" i saved the article cause i could believe it actually said that.

the best thing i would suggest is buy a small child's coat and bring it with you when they stop you say you had to run out and get your kid's, who is in the mall with their mother, coat.
