After having been here for some years, I find the following is the general situation.

Qatarie men view western women as a prize to show off to their friends, almost a status object to have a western girl. However when it comes down to the true basis for the relationship, they (generally) dont care less.

Western women generally on the other hand, date arab men for the benefits. The gifts and even money lavished on some of these girls is outrageous.

So in essence they are both getting what they want and deserve what they get !!!
