Complete and utter garbage

what?....it is yummie:)))

I hope so, see the faith is back... surely he will have one decent friend with similar characteristics!

No I will break the cycle this weekend! I will meet the ONLY cute, single, wealthy, nice guy in Doha!

Oh it's Monday, too soon after the weekend, we'll have renewed faith around Wednesday and then we'll encounter another weekend in Doha...and then back to square 1, it's a vicious cycle.

GIASI, you always have to be on the lookout for a stilletto weilding Fish. :P

ok.... you girls are scaring me. What happens when this male directed hatred spills over to ALL guys? should we be on guard for a stiletto to the temple? :P

It is disrespectful. And you're a hot chick, you could have any guy you wanted anyway and then you could be the one dumping their sorry a**!

LOL Aqua, Believe me I'll have a fling when I'm in the mood for one. But you are right, men here do not have as much regard or respect for the women here. Just read the Dating and Clubbing Rebut thread. Back home no guy would go on about how all the woman are fat snobs, and you wouldn't have guys asking if you want to f**k after only knowing you for 20 minutes. It's completely disrespectful.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't have a fling if you want to DG, but what fish is saying is true men wouldn't dare behave this way with women back home, they have a double standard- they don't have as much regard for women in Doha as the ones back in their home countries, that is my impression anyway. This is of course entirely off the mark, in fact we are better than their girls back home, we have a sense of adventure for coming here in the first place!

Yes i do know butterfly, its called artistic license :) i was just stereotyping with exaggerations :)

Just because we have a sweaty football coach, doesn't necessarily mean that we are all sweaty. Just because we like sangria doesn't necessarily mean that we smell of Sagria (actually it is a nice lovely fruity smell) . And just to expand your knowledge: we don't eat that much Garlic, that's the french.

"margaritas ante porcos" is all i can say..!

That's exactly what it translates into.

I think relaxed relationship translates into "ill call you when im h0rny" :P

`If you look hard enough though you can find some men who are up for a "relaxed relationship" ` has to be the single most enlightening piece of information I gathered from today's discussion. Hats off to FrankyJ.

Every guy here wants a "relaxed relationship" Franky J, and so do many women. The problem is that the men here have lost all tact when trying to get it. They wind up scaring us off with desperation.

Ha, I don't think my kind of bluntness would go over well in the Middle East.

I just suddenly realized why my attitude about relationships has changed so much since I came to Doha. ANd I had to write about it.

Sorry... im pi$$ing myself here laughing at the tribune giving DG a "column". sorry... childish innuendo got the better of me again

I'm getting lectured on Yahoo now that I sound like I'm desperately trying to "give it" away. I would like to say I am not, I am not that kind of girl. I don't give it away to anyone. I was just having a realization, an epithany if you will. Might explain other girls inability to have flings in Doha. I however am a virgin and will remain one until marriage. Thank you.

ditto, aqua.

funny though..those very same men who treat women like trash over here wouldn't dare act that way back home, or the women will slap them silly.

DG, the Qatar Tribune should give you a column. You could teach Doha men how to have flings and treat women with respect at the same time thus helping everyone get laid

Too true aqua. Women shouldnt sell themselves short (unless theyre angelina jolie) :)

Oh my, I'll read a little more into it and I'll feel glad I'm married.

I'm not saying I want to have a fling. I'm just saying that the attitude of the men negates any chance it happening.

I think it's because they think that women in Doha have no value except to 'service' them, I'm getting sick of it, we deserve so much better- I prefer to stay single rather than not be treated with respect.

Seriously, I just don't think the men here know how to speak to women. I've had flings in 4 different countries before I came here, and I never left or entered one feeling like I was degrading myself by doing it. But here! Jeez I feel like I'm the lowest thing in the world if I so much as speak to a guy out of wedlock! I'm getting sick of it.

nope i noticed it on some other posts too

I must be, cause I never noticed it before.

Yay! Way to go Qatari! :D :D :D

I bet you're the first one who got it, DG. How fitting!

:P

Whoah, I like Qatari's new bleeping method! Very good. Sorry Qatari didn't realize that was a bad word. I will watch my mouth from now on. :D

i just find it odd that even though we're living in the 21st century men seem to be acting more and more like neanderthals than anything else.

I think it's because there is a certain "dance" to just having a fling. Guy must be attractive, charming and a lot of fun, but not relationship material, he must know that and so must you. But he cannot come on to strong about just wanting sex. He needs to be subtle. Let the girl come around to the idea that she's just in the mood for a fling. Than let her give you the whole speil about how she's not looking for a serious relationship that she's just looking for a little fun. That way she has said loud and clear that she is not a whore, she is a nice girl who is just not into a serious relationship right now. This kind of dance can take all night, or even a couple of nights.

The guys here ruin this by just being to desperate and coming on to strong. They don't let us explain that we are not whores, by doing that, and jumping the gun and saying they are just looking for a one night stand, they make us feel like whores.

No girl likes to be known as a "one night stand" or "fling" kind of girl. Yet, pretty much all of us do have one night stands or flings.

Whoah DG you want a meaningless fling based on sex AND respect at the same time.

Men aren't that advanced, ya know :P

I completely agree girls, there just isn't any respect.

You are a woman who speak her mind that's all, they've got to get with the times, we're not in the 50s anymore!

is it that other women don't mind being treated that way?

I'm wondering that too Fish. I'm really not that much of a prude when the guy doesn't make me feel like I'm being taken advantage of.

serious question though: why is it that men in doha constantly feel compelled to treat the women as if their "services" could be purchased like any other common commodity? i just don't get it..

Belgian guy is cute, but too upfront. So looks doesn't really have that much to do with it...

Exactly Aqua. I am not against a fling as long as the guy treats me with repect. Just because I'm having a fun sexual relationship with you doesn't mean I deserve to be treated like a whore. I think that's why I get so pissed at the guys here. No such thing as charming anymore.

belgians must be weird that way i guess

We want a little respect, I think that's what you mean by challenge. What we don't want is some Belgian guy basically spelling it out, right DG?

Don't know, I was too pissed to remember. Either that or your flirting wasn't very memorable

Interesting how all the good looking ones are a challenge. :( I guess they aren't interested. Time to go after hunch backed dwarves.

good point, aqua

where's the fun in chatting someone up if you aren't going to take advantage of them, aks? :p

GIASI has a woman. I don't chat up taken men (as long as they let me know they are taken). YOu mean I didn't chat you up on Thursday? I usually flirt with every guy I meet. Must be a reason. :P

Too much of a challenge means he might not be interested...

I challenge you to chat up me and GIASI then!

But none of these guys is good looking AKS. I at least want good looking, else there's no fun.

What are you talking about DG? With all the stalkers and men in pubs/clubs approaching you, you don't have to make any effort at all!

Tempting but no. Not enough of a challenge involved. I at least like a challenge.

you could follow suit of a certain belgian compadre and just ask a random stranger bluntly if they want to ****

At least you have the potential to get it Sammie. I have to go out and meet someone, chat them up, try to get them in bed. It's all so much effort. :(

keep "angels & demons" in mind to decipher my code

ITANIMULLI

(please ignore me)

No god i do not care, like i have never joined in!!!!! LOL :p

No was just saying because i can not have it i notice how much it is about!!! :)

What now?

al al al hsif dloc

Right next to my list of non existent booty calls. :P

Where's your inflatable Ewan MCG??

she really isn't THAT bad..:p

Leave me alone woman, it's been 3 whole weeks. :P

Sammie if you think online bantering about sex is bad, think again. I had to endure it through my entire lunch with DG!!

animal magnetism... thats what its called :P

whatever. i'm staying home and sulking..

Everythings about that cause I'm online Sammie. Nothing to do with your man being away.

i can be all sweaty and smell of garlic and sangria

Sexual OMG everything seems to be about sex at the time when my man is away!!!! :(

I can offer sexual favours in a Spanish accent.

Language courses, DG. Then you could offer sexual favours in Spanish too! :P :P

well nobody wants to have sex with a fish so i'm pretty sure i can't throw in the "sexual favours" cards in exchange for those tickets :p

Begging right now. And SUper is getting pissed everytime I text him. AKS tell him theres sexual favours involved if he gets me a ticket. :D

We've got a priest fish!!

i couldn't find tickets :(

i christen the rubbish thread :D

I have my Oktoberfest ticket in my hand for this Thursday. How're the rest of you getting on with begging/borrowing/stealing tickets?

Blah blah

Whats up with you guys? you dont usually need to be begged to talk rubbish :P
