we can spot a russian a mile off, but not everyone else can tell us apart.

That's why I said 'why do it?". The people I described only have avatars with teddy bears or dolphins. Anyway, isn't everyone being unpleasant? And does the "she's had surgery" phenomenon not exist?

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

Interesting discussions but it's kind of going towards the perversion (natural?) of men who are desperate to catch a glimpse of a woman's body in order for them to discuss and rate them at the pub or something like that...SURELY, women realise this and by wearing modest clothing, you are less likely to be spoken about and looked at purely for how 'beautiful' or not you are?

However, how long are women outside in the heat in order for an abaya to be considered the most uncomfortable thing since sliced bread? Going out to the car, stepping into the mall etc... hardly a ride in the desert is it?

I can also understand the mixed messages being sent out by the 'flirty' females with high heels and open abayas, showing their clothing and the mixed messages by billboards / mall adverts too.

Many contradictions which don't make things clearer here...

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

Out of interest, where are you from? What century did you form your opinions about women's dress?

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

that's a rather strange comment, I assume you must be somewhat mixed up if you equate the clothes a woman is wearing with a desire to flirt with men in malls. Attention seeking behaviour maybe but anything further is making a quantum leap on your behalf.

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

Speaking about yesterday's article.

Very little clothes / flesh = Problem in GCC

non-revealing clothes (abaya or not) = no problems.

Simple enough equation for you don't you think Biggsy?

With the heels things, read Ms. Trotters (fashion editor) article in the National about flirting with heels if you think otherwise, her words, not mine!

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

Yep, meant attention seeking...

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

A simple enough equation for a backward society that is controlled by men, yes. Any argument that assumes men can't handle looking at a woman without her being draped head to toe in black is somewhat 14th century (at best.)

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

It's really only one step away from saying 'she's revealing flesh, she must be asking for it'.

It's really very simple. You've either got it or you've seen it. It's just a human body, a very natural thing (albeit some are prettier than others).

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

Maybe, but I think this type of society doesn't want to look like the average UK town on a Friday night or anytime of day for that matter.

Just a question though, why are people complaining IN the UK and other parts of the developed world about the over sexualisation of society, in particular, the type of attire available to very young people nowadays, what they watch etc...

My very own, British neighbour, WWII veteran also says she'd hate to be a young girl these days, but what does she know? Old bag, right Biggsy?

I suppose everyone is free to decide how they want to dress there, what they watch etc...

Case closed from my point now...

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

There is a massive difference between dressing appropriately (although not draped in black from head to toe) and dressing as if you are a teenage clubber. No one is saying that flashing flesh all the time is a good plan, but similarly a bit of sense wouldn't go amiss from all parties.

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

Don't put words in my mouth.

There's a difference between walking around a mall in a bikini (which you don't see over here anyway) and requiring that a section of society walk around in cloaks, gloves, face masks etc. Get a grip on a balanced reality.

Re: Lack of Clothes - again
 

over weight people should NOT be allowed to wear anything tight and too small that causes folds of flesh to hang out - like seriously - did they not look at themselves in the frigging mirror before stepping out.

my colleague was telling me that his barbar who's a syrian geezer, was going to a beach bbq on Al Mamzar beach...he decided to wear shorts while driving there...on the way he had to pick up his mate who lived in sharjah....he parked up his car and when he got out to go get his mate a copper clocked him...told him he was inappropriately dressed.....the dude got fined AED 3k on the spot.
