"Just ignore them. It's normal, you're different, they're not used to that"
BUT I CAN'T!! I CAN'T IGNORE THEM! EVERY DAY I WALK OUTSIDE MY DOOR I GET THOSE STARES! HUNDREDS OF STARES!!
Please tell me it's not only me... I'm FED UP!
The worst of them all... Deira... that was horrible. Walking through the souk in long jeans (not tight fitting) and a normal tshirt. I'm well covered. They turn around, staring, with that familiar perverted smile... they nudge their friends, they stare. UGH I'M FED UP!!!
I must sound really stuck up: they
I'm not... Why can't they just keep their eyes to themselves.
Are you fed up too? What do you do? Personally I find staring them right into the eye is best. Normally they turn right round in embarrassment "darn she saw me" or they have a staring contest. Though I'm walking, i still win.

Walking to MOE, there are so many workers' buses passing me. The bus passes. The workers stare. All of them. Not discretely either. They ALL turn there heads and stare. Depending on my mood, i either ignore them, stare back at them till they turn around, or shout at the bus *vulgar*.Please tell me it's not only me... I'm FED UP!

Re: Perverted Stares In Dubai!!!!
It annoys me that the malls seem to be anti-shorts...
What, they think I should wear long trousers when I run to MoE?
I do get stares though, in my running shorts and t-shirt. Or maybe it's because they smell me before they see me

Re: Perverted Stares In Dubai!!!!
If i hadn't been drinking tongiht, I'd probably try to console you and educate you in cultural differences but.... I was also pissed off at labourers staring at my girlfriend, Arab and Pakistani men proposing sexual shit to her in the street through the window of their car as she walked along alone, dressed completely conservatively (or not), DAILY.
As for people expecting foreigners to "dress and act conservatively in a muslim country" well..... do you expect ever one of the billions of travellers every year to foreign countries to read up about culture, religions, standards, laws, dress code, expectations and so on before travelling? I mean, look at the level of intelligence of some of these travellers.
If a country wants a foreigner to visit, they shouldn't expect that foreigner to know how to behave, yet "ignorance" is not an excuse. They absolve themselves of responsibility legally but not really morally.

Do what I do - leave out the contact lenses and then you can't see what anyone is looking at 
ANyway who cares if anyone is staring at you from a bus - they're not going to jump out of the window en masse to jump you now are they? So let them have their little bit of fun the poor sods
Having said that - I would NOT smile at them in case they thought it's an invitation to jump you

Well GB said "Walking to MOE, there are so many workers' buses passing me. The bus passes. The workers stare. All of them. Not discretely either. They ALL turn there heads and stare."
Who knows - if she smiles at them and they're at a red light?? They might jump out of the window for a grab - hahahahahaha
