The "Ladies" Of Dubai
 
I've now been here for around 6 weeks and I thought I'd like to share with you my thoughts about "Lifestyles of the Pseudo Riche & Infamous".

So, as some of you know, I'm a Corporate Lawyer based in DIFC, and having moved from London for the new challenge (after a not much fun divorce) I am quite amazed at what I 've observed here.

It appears to me, and it may be that I go to the "wrong" places, eg Agency, Bar44, Barasti, 360, ShoCho etc. that the women are desperate men hungry beings that ask immediately what you do, when I tell them (I'm not going to lie) they're all over me and my male colleagues like a shot. That's just the ones wearing wedding rings, the single ones are a bit shyer.

So why is this? Are the women here just totally obsessed by the fact you've got a Porsche and a decent apartment, or is it that they love the Black Corporate Amex?

I find it all so fake, where do you folks recommend a normal guy like me should go, I mean I'm sick of making conversation about Chloe bags, Jimmy's shoes and how they totally rely on their maids - but don't work, to women who only appear to want a bit on the side. And don't even start me on the Air Hostesses!

Just somewhere where we can chat and have a laugh, nothing more, not yet anyway.

Just a cry for help, but I thought that if any group could help me it would be you people.

Thanks in advance

Pino

Basically - you're screwed. TID...

You could try the Blue Bar, it plays jazz so you won't find many of the illiterati there.

Having a Porsche is like a ticket to getting laid here.

is it really that bad??? I am still thinking of making the move over to Dubai with my hubby and baby. Maybe its something in the food? The water? These woman must be VERY unhappy with their hubbies....I work with lawyers every day. No amount of money would make me want to throw myself at one !!! (only joking )

I've lost count of the number of times I've been hit on by married women, sometimes while I'm with my better half. It's the same with a lot of the men too.

I think people think they are on permenant vacation and that gives them the licence to act like assholes.

For me I think its my accent, they assume I'm rich because I talk proper innit...suckers!

I've never been to a city where it is easier to get laid (other than proper ibiza style holiday resorts).
