| Yesterday I drove to AD and after stopping at the first ADNOC for petrol I got harrassed by men in two cars. The first driving at 120km alongside me with his windows down was gesturing for me to give my phone number, I sped up to get away but was still chased at 140km then I picked up my mobile and made to call the police and he sped off. The 2nd drove alongside me after the 1st guy pi$$ed off and once we got to abu Dhabi he gestured for me to pull over and I shook my head and then he put his hands together, please please. Finally I flashed my hand at him (with ring) and he's like sorry sorry and sped off. Is this normal? i know women get stared at, but chased in cars?? Where's the weirdest place you've been harassed. |

| Why - what happens? |

| Welcome to the UAE :) |

Lets just say for starters you don't want to be walking within "reaching" distance from cars on the street. |

| Next time don't threaten to phone Police, do it. It's the only way to stop these idiots. |
| raidah |
| geez... please please... :pukeright: its pathetic and long live the prostitution, cos without those women sooner or later all the others would be raped :? |
| Nick81 |
I'd rather wish all countries legalize castration... I remember something about it in the US. They were thinking of castrating sex offenders, rapists, pedophiles,... Some guy was actually asking for it because he just couldn't control himself. This might sound barbaric, but it isn't more cruel that what one of these sick bastards could do to a woman. |
| raidah |
:shock: never thought i hear smthing like this from a guy. castration costs money :roll: how about just cut it off? :lol: |
| Nick81 |
oh man and I thought I was bad... |
| scarlet |
| Are national women harassed? Does wearing an abaya protect you from this? |
| Nick81 |
Not sure... Anyway I am not sure this happens THAT frequently. Just act as if you're calling the police as soon as someone bothers you. Or just call them and do all women a favor by putting these jerks behind bars... |
| sage & onion |
| Excellent question, interesting to see if we get any answers |
| raidah |
| it probably does. so we should start doing the same? u probably know as well as i do, that men use the lousy excuse when they hit on a woman, that she was wearing a mini or a top, etc. that she was being too provocative :? r there paralysing sprays in dubai? |
| Nick81 |
... I really really don't think you will need any of this in Dubai. It's one of the safest cities I've been to and there're always ALWAYS plenty of cars on the roads so the chance of you getting chased by someone with no1 around is close to 0. As to being hit on by some guys in clubs/pubs well it's the same as anywhere else. Unless you always paralyze guys who try to talk to you... :lol: |
| raidah |
| i usually just give them the eye :shock: :P i woke up in asskicking mood, sorry :P |
| Liban |
| I usually wake up in an a$$fcuking mood... :lol: |
| raidah |
:shock: i really loved u liban, but now... :pukeright: |
| raidah |
| :P |
| scarlet |
| Liban - being gay here will cause problems. Do you get stared at too? :shock: :lol: |
| Liban |
| Apparently you girls have never been had Greek Style... Therefore you would associate it to gay... Beleive me ladies, I am far from that.... |
| raidah |
| initially greek style was not gay style. but by now it is associated with that :P |
| arniegang |
| ask Liban where he get his hair cut Raihah :lol: :lol: |
| Concord |
| What about all this crap about how strick laws are in the UAE! |
| Moester |
| ok ok guys the poor girl have been harassed, please show some respect and take this fight to FC. and Scarlet sorry that happened to you, but it does happen a lot, next time make that call to the police, better safe than sorry |
| scarlet |
| Liban I am quite offended by your comment. And I don't think your wife would be very happy either to hear you talking like that. |
| raidah |
| who is fighting here? :shock: |
| Nick81 |
| why do ppl get offended so easily here... :lol: |
| raidah |
u guys talk about it too much not to know...so yeah, i know he is being done at the divas...i mean his hair :roll: :lol: |
| arniegang |
| back on topic please peeps chill :wink: :wink: |
| Moester |
| it depends Nick, we have maybe almost every culture in this forums so i guess they have to disagree on a couple of things. |
| scarlet |
| Nick how would you like it if someone was referring to whether you had been had and would like to take it up the ...... That's what's offensive - normal comments can be appreciated for what they are. |
| Liban |
Salon Diva... The only place to go to look your best :) I like to get manicures, pedicures, body oil massages... :) |
| Liban |
| Chill out guys and get back on topic. |
| arniegang |

I wouldn't assume that his wife would complain about it love! |
| raidah |
| :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: u seem to know a lot urself, arnie :lol: |
| Nick81 |
I'd laugh about it... But then I guess my sense of humor is pretty wild :P I just don't get easily offended and thus, have a hard time understanding the reactions of some ppl on this board. It's not like anything posted here will have a direct impact on your life... Just chill and ignore whatever you don't agree with. |
| arniegang |
| ah ah I dont have enough to worry about gelling up :lol: :lol: :lol: |
| scarlet |
| OK I'm lost now - Is it hair or harassment we're talking about. Maybe Liban's comments earlier were an example of harrassment in the region :) Thank you Liban for providing this on the topic. Do they do back waxing at your salon? |
| arniegang |
| Liban has the back, sack and crack Friday special at diva's :lol: :lol: :lol: |
| Moester |
| well if the one who's posting the thread is off topic you can't really expect others to stay on the same topic, so what the hell.. there is a salon where women shave for guys? where? |
| raidah |
r u sure u wanna be at the mercy of a woman with a razor? :roll: |
| Nick81 |
:lol: Only happened to me once with an ex who just thought it'd be hot... It happened only once so you can pretty much guess it was far from being a good experience |
| Moester |
i'm very sure, she'd be lucky if she didn't cut herself because of my charm. |
| Moester |
| at least it's better than the Butcher i used to shave in his salon, good god if he was shaving with a cleaver it would have been less painful. |
| raidah |
:shock: u know nothing about women :lol: :lol: |
| Moester |
| you could be right, all the women i meet don't have that fake bad attitude crap. |
| raidah |
| :roll: |
| Liban |
You forgot Saturday.... Legs Day... :) |

hey, u calling me a sleez....thank God for bluetooth technology...the only mistake he made was that females and technology dont go too well togather. |
| nostradamus |
| Is this normal? i know women get stared at, but chased in cars?? YES ... they are not normal, you live in a thurd world place what else can you expect? :D |
| Nick81 |
great logic. I've witnessed stuff like that in Los Angeles and Paris. Do those qualify as "third world places" too? |
| Liban |
You giant turd... I've seen this in NYC, Toronto, Montreal, London and Nice... Are those places third world... Get a life Mr and Miss Inquirer... :roll: |
| sage & onion |
So you really believe that Dubai is a Third World Country, I am sure the present administration would not agree with your assessment. As for Female harassment, of course it happens all over the world, however it needs to be reported to the proper authorities in order for something to be done about it. |
| Concord |
| My 2 fils, Dubai is not a third world country just administered (at service level) on third world standards and inhabited by many third world residents (or at least they should be living there even some born, raised or living in first world places). |
| Nick81 |
| woohoo! We killed that guy! :lol: :lol: |
| arniegang |
| that told him :D |
| xibit |
| lolz some ppl post funny replies I confess we once chased some hawaat girls half way across Dubai till they finally reached city center, we end up having a nice time togeather I was surprised they both liked being chased, I think they liked all the attention. Anyhow I am glad all the petrol I wasted on them finally paid off. |

| A64Venice |
This is one of the reason they do wear it. Also some of the national women are damn good looking! :thumbup: |
| scarlet |
What are hawaat girls? |
| constantine |
| scarlet i think he meant hot...in rap speak "hawt"...oh and really sorry you had to go thru that bull$hit... |
| scarlet |
| Thanks Cons...the language gets me sometimes here |
| MaaaD |
| scarelet happens all the time. YOu would probably get harassed more if you were wearing an abaya. Remember alot of those cars on teh way to Abu Dhabi are from towns in the middle of the desert and the highway is the only pace they get to see any women hehe .. But as someone has said before, just get plate number and call the cops. |
| nostradamus |
| EDITED Pointless post. |
| Chocoholic |
Not at all! I've had to deal with mad men in the past. Men usually pick on women they see as vulnerable and can intimidate, they don't expect a woman to turn around and start mouthing off at them and to make a scene it normally scars them and they usually run away in the other direction, when they realise they've approached the wrong girl who won't stand for that crap. One time soke girls friends and I were leaving a mates house and three guys were pulled up next to us as we walked to the car, they were asking us for our numbers and to get in their car and go with them, we all walked straight upto them and started giving them hassle in the middle of the street, they soon disappeared. |

Threading - of course. |

| hey Choco....thought u just got back from Malaysia......did u get harrassed there too :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: i haven't updated us on ur trip |
| Palkid7 |
| scarlet, next time something like this happen to u just take the car's plate number, go to a polic station and tell them the story and give them the numbers, they will bring them even if they were on the other end of the UAE. I mean such things are usually delt seriously by the police !! But always keep ignoring people with such an attitude!! i remember once a friend of mine and I saw someone doing the same thing to a women on our way to AD, we kept fu.king his way up by braking in front of him and hindering his way !! he got really pissed off and drove away yet we kept following him until he got really scared thinking that we are police or something !! Well, after all my friend and I really enjoyed making the suck'rs life so miserable during those 20-30 minutes chase !! So guys watch out if I am on the road !! :lol: :lol: |
