Dressing modestly will definitely draw less attention than dressing with your tits hanging out. This works in all countries of the world.

Come on now dressing modestly will not surely draw less attention, take the case of men in segregated societies though their womenfolk are all covered up they still draw attention and men do stares as if the women wears nothing. As pointed out earlier, its sheer hypocrisy of the men to blame the opposite love for their uncalled stares and sexual overtures.

I'm not blaming women, I thought I was stating the obvious that dressing modestly will attract fewer unwelcome stares.

If you are right that a woman's appearance isn't important - then someone should tell the women not to bother with make up, hair dos etc

I think everyone should stop wearing clothes.. n then people will get used to seeing naked bodies and realize.. eeww. 75% are not really that hot as they used to think..

Do you think anyone is any doubt what a naked female body looks like? Or are you advocating that everyone sees how 'un-normal' the bodies of models etc are?

What I'm saying is dressing modestly will not stop men from staring as has been happening and will continue to happen espcecially in the gulf. Case in point, try walking inside a mall where local women are dress in burqa yet being stared at and even given sexual overtones by their local men.

I'm not putting the blame to either the men or the women, I think society as a whole is to be blame.

You are now addressing a totally different issue. Local men showing interest in local girls is the first step towards a marriage proposal involving parents.

As Ian said, the first step to reducing stares is to cover up. Don't want attention? Don't dress up. White women will get stares no matter what they wear of course, but then, they can take steps to reduce what's exposed, assuming the stares bug them TOO much. Take it as a non-criminal aspect of Dubai, with high rents and Salik. Hardly any men take the step towards touching and making themselves a criminal.

The staring is certainly a huge annoyance, but the rules brought about due to whining women means I cannot take a walk on the beach with a camera any more, without being almost arrested.

Excuse me; men following women like pack of wolves, blurting profanities, showing unwanted attention, you called this first step towards a marriage proposal involving parents. Wake up mate.

What I said;if you really understood what you read, is dressing up or dressing modestly is not always a solution and even if it does; it does not necessarily apply to all societies.

Different societies need different solution and approach.

I get the feeling you roam the seediest parts of Dubai, outside bars or something. I've never seen local guys blatantly harrassing local women in my 25 years here. There is the occassional case in the papers, but it is not as rampant as you make it seem.

Its not guys harrassing local women, but local guys and others harrassing any women.

OK mostly is just intensive staring, which is unacceptable in the western world and would normally invite an invitation to sample hospital food from the young lady in question's boyfriend or husband.

A western woman on her own is open to more intrusive harrassment. I have a Polish architect friend who is particularly attractive and was working here on assignment. She got very arsey with me when I insisted I accompany her at night to visit Naif area and the souks.

In the end, I let her go on her own. It took 10 minutes for the phone to ring and her to ask me to rescue her! She attracted a crowd of patans and labourers who would not let her pass and were making lewd suggestions as they thought she was a hooker working in the local hotel, even though she was dressed in trousers and a business suit.

It makes not difference what a girl wears if she is attractive and in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Well, I notice that I don't get leered at much any more when I have the baby with me. Thankfully they are staring at the cute baby most of the time. There you go ladies, just bring a kid along and you'll get more respect.

I am told I am a complete child sometimes by some people, so I am available for hire at a very resonable fee!

So what have you been doing for the last 25 yrs....stuck on your own closet.Try to take off of your sunglasses maybe you'll see much better, for you to see what life is all about and your apethetic attitude seems very real to me. One does not need to go to seedy places to see those kind of attitude, only need to be aware of what's happening around.

Do you think these men will harass women speaking in english or your mother tongue for you to understand whats going on...

You need more than your regular newspaper to know whats out and about in Dubai.

Wow, we live in a real hell. Seems you are really tight with the underground. As a local would say, why don't you just leave?

St. Lucifer, that is a great pic of Knight

Today's Gulf News has an article about the Bus service in Dubai and it mentions labourers making obscene gestures towards women.
