for instance...this one girl i happened to talk to...couldnt stop being an absolute brat....during the conversation...she asked me..(and very cunningly...i mean..i didnt even notice till after!):
1)apartment location
2)car?
3)rough income
4)savings
5) future plans..
6)bank accounts...
i am not kiddin...its as if she was shopping for men....i understand the whole aspect of not dating a looser...but there must be subtler ways of screening people...and perhaps being patient!
i was evasive on most answers..because i felt offended...but i did rub in my new car:D...where upon i felt a sudden interest...i left the conversation short...and walked away!
of course there must be better people out here....but...i havnt met em yet..!..

Males are asking the same to ladies, which i think inappropriate! I personally don't like males trying to check on ladies income statement.

They beep everytime the conversation is about money, car, salary, house etc.....
Also the emission controls aren't as stringent as others

Mostly arab males are asking these random questions.

At the airport, do they insert a chip in to their head making them useless and no fun before they come to dubai??? (in a non-general kind of way, the ones who are awesome are outside the country atm)
I dont know dudes, i just gave up on women here

this is very sad...i havent been dating since im here so cant give an oppinion about how men are in dubai, nor give a guy a reason to call me useless or not. but even thou u said this is what u think in general and not about all women, the fact is its still depressing that some ppl think this way or have reasons to think this way...sure women have have their side of story saying yeah, maybe some of us are on the meatmarket, but it is u guys who all u want to do is buy us...
just one lil comment to this "(in a non-general kind of way, the ones who are awesome are outside the country atm)" : what u dont have is always better and more interesting than what is at reach, dont u think?
so ur telling me here that on that one occasion we met i seemed useless to u?
