Businessman, i don't understand why you felt the need to tell Gypsy to f*** off. She's entitled to her own opinion and I didn't read anything in her posts that was rude or mean...just someone voicing their own opinion. These are her experiences. She's dated both westerners and arabs and has decided, for her own reasons based on HER experiences, that she prefers arabic men here in Doha. I don't necessarily agree with her on everything that she's said, but I haven't had her experiences.
Why do you feel so threatened? So she didn't agree with your points of view - she has that right. Instead, you show your maturity and extensive vocabulary skills by telling her to f*** off.
Is this how you handle yourself in business meetings, by telling those who don't agree with you to f*** off?
I agree that western men behave differently here because they know they're only here for a short time period. Many want to date around, have lots of sex but don't want a serious commitment. The arabic men are here for the long haul because this is their home (by the way, though many arabic men will date a western women, they won't marry her...yes, there are a successful stories out there, but those are very few).
To turn this around, I have observed this exact same behavior in arabic men who are in the U.S. on a temorary basis (wanting to play the field, etc). What's a little different is that many of these men are married but they go out and openly pursue other women, while their wives are at home taking care of their children (no nannies in the u.s for them).
You know, there are going to be people here who only want to date around and enjoy the fringe benefits. You're going to have those who want a long term commitment. That's the way life goes....let people live their lives however they see fit.
