Yes that is true to a large extent, but the male species as a whole has created this situation throughout the years.
That and I blame Hollywood. Every woman is looking for the kind of relationship and the kind of love they read about in books and see in the movies.
Real love and real relationships are sadly a lot messier, and I'm not sure Dubai has the right elements for real love to form, and it takes a lot of work for real love to survive.
A genuine bloke does not need to impress a girl with a bottle of fizzy wine, or the logo on the key that is left openly on the table (love that: Cadillac Escalade key fob...Camry in the car park!) but will probably ask more questions than he answers, will be interested in what a girl has to say and will probably be looking at her eyes, not her rack!
But a genuine bloke should not be lazy in love. Relationships take some work to make them stay together, and I myself have been lazy in love at times. No, you shouldn't buy expensive bottles of champagne or try and impress with flash cars... this is simply unsustainable and you have to ask serious questions about a girl that wants this lifestyle all the time.
But a nice dinner every now and then, flowers, and a trip away somewhere are things that should be done on a regular basis.
Hard to do when you just meet a girl, but the genuine ones aren't fooled by the posers of the world, they've possibly seen it all before and have had to contend with the Camry shock.
You can't blame a girl for being wooed liked this though, that is what Hollywoods prescribes. i.e. Pretty Woman, you know the billionaire guy swoops the pretty but down on her luck girl off her feet?
The reality of the situation can be a hard pill to swallow if you've been brought up on a diet of Romantic Comedies.
Unless they are particularly fine of course!

Of course!
