Proposition
 

I'm fairly sure I was propositioned yesterday walking to Jarir in the afternoon, but this being Saudi I'm not totally sure what it was all about.
So I was walking down the road and a car stops by me at a roundabout, I keep walking and a little bit up the road the car stops again. Eventually a little bit further on, the car stops and the driver starts talking to me.

On the whole I find Saudis fairly friendly( the ones that speak to strangers anyway), so a strange man stopping to have a chat isn't that unusual, but anyway the conversation went something like this:

Him: Hi, how are you?
Me: Good thanks.
Him: Where you from?
Me: The UK.
Him: Oh nice, so do you like Riyadh?
Me: Yeah, it's good thanks.
Him: So I was thinking you know, if you want to meet me sometime and go for coffee, we can meet up and have a chat, maybe go for a massage or something.
Me: Hmmmm, sounds good.
Him: Okay, here's my card, just give me a call.

Now strangers asking you to go and drink coffee isn't that unusual, that's happened quite a few times, but what got me was the massage bit. That is a first. So was he propositioning me or is there some dodgy massage parlour I don't know about? I'd rather it was the latter! Anybody else got experience of this?

Re: Proposition
 

Experience of being propositioned in KSA by Saudi men? Yes, a few times though not on the street, sometimes in supermarkets, once in a barbers and a couple of times in work.

Experience of going to a massage parlour with a Saudi man? No :lol:

Re: Proposition
 

May I just point out that it would be a far more dangerous situation had the 'proposition-er' been a female....

Re: Proposition
 

Did have two women in a car start chatting to me one day outside a hospital. They offered me a lift too. Don't think anything was on the cards there though. Only seen Saudi women out of their abayas once in two years. Living on the edge!

Re: Proposition
 

That would scare the willies out of me.

Re: Proposition
 

Ha ha - I'm in central Switzerland and obviously at this time of year many Arabs come to Europe to escape the heat. Yesterday I was shopping in Zug (a town halfway between Zurich and Lucerne) and there were some Arab families walking around and the women wearing their black abayas....well you should have seen the Swiss women just stopping and staring at them like they had arrived from another planet (the Swissies are generally very conservative, especially when not living in the cities of Geneva and Zurich....they actually stopped in their tracks, wide-eyed with their mouths open) lol! :lol:

Re: Proposition
 

And they have!:p

Re: Proposition
 

He did have a nice Lexus though.

Re: Proposition
 

I think that you are reading too much into this, give the nice man a call and arrange to go for a massage with him. Please report back what happens. :lol:

Re: Proposition
 

Sounds to me like it's deffo about willies: in, out, shake it all about!

Re: Proposition
 

they were driving?

Re: Proposition
 

x 2 :thumbsup:

Re: Proposition
 

They have plots!? :eek:

Re: Proposition
 

First I've heard of it...!

Re: Proposition
 

Go for it.

Worst that can happen is you get raped/attacked/killed/noshed off.

Best that can happen is you get a new pal.

Re: Proposition
 

you sure about that?

Re: Proposition
 

sounds like the opening scene of a middle eastern porn :eek:

2 women driving.....

Re: Proposition
 

Two women were out driving a Lexus when a wild eyed bearded man brandishing a whip appeared....

Re: Proposition
 

bow chiki bow wow!

how can you be walging (walking) in this heat, yanni?
come join us

bow chiki bow wow!

Re: Proposition
 

I thought they all started with a man arriving to fix the plumbing.

Re: Proposition
 

ofcourse they have plots!! The plot is the best thing about watching them...or so I have been told....by no one I know...complete strangers stop me on the road to tell me this kind of stuff.

Re: Proposition
 

You need to widen your experience. Sometimes there's pizza involved.

Re: Proposition
 

Is that in gay porn?

Re: Proposition
 

:rofl::rofl:

Re: Proposition
 

Now I know why you're called Meow... :p

Re: Proposition
 

Until the massage offer it sounded like you were being invited to attend a business conference.

Good marks for effort and initiative on his part however. Give him a call and ask him about the massage, it sounds way more interesting than the alternative arrangement.

Re: Proposition
 

Yeah but a Saudi plumber ? Would have to be an Indian with him....and then it would be a threesome

Re: Proposition
 

blumbing!

Re: Proposition
 

This made me scream out laughing, I could not hear myself. I joined this wonderful website after reading a million things and this made me go through a process which was easy. Like a gold Lexus :)
