Dubai
Any int'l playboys have Dubai experience?

I wonder what the scene is like there. I'm sure you would need massive amounts of cash to get anywhere. But I can't even picture what kinds of women, if any, would be available.

I would imagine you could pick up a place to live there pretty cheap right now. Hmm...

From what I have heard, all kinds of girls. Remember, girls follow the money.

The thing is, I think comparing Dubai in 2005 to 2009 is like comparing mangoes to papayas.

RE: Dubai
I hear it's over-rated. Not worth flying all the way there for it's own sake, but maybe worth it if you are are already in the region and doing it as a side trip. To me, it just looks like Vegas without casinos with an Arab twist. Yawn...

No, it is not that different. The economy is weaker because the fundaments of it were shaky. But you won't find "cheap" housing per se, just getting cheaper.

A couple months ago I was offered a job there and I still have to decide (it is for next year), but I informed myself with people living there and those are the ideas I can pass onto you.

Girls: you won't be able to date the locals, they are in another strathosphere of blood and money, meaning as a non-emirati, you have it very difficult to be allowed to date them (banging them would be sacrilege and prepare yourself to be shot).

There are tons of high level expats from Europe and most english speaking countries, so your game can be directed at them, although as far as I was told by a female friend there, they are a bit on the defensive from arab locals who treat them like whores and from other expats who are just single and horny. Seems women there (western) are in real need of true men to show them a good time, so that could be an advantage for any of us who go there Smile

Then you have women doing lower level work there: those must be really easy to game, but probably the quality is pretty low on that side.

There are tons of "imported" whores, as well, mainly from Russia and ex soviet republics, I can think some of those must be very hot.

Dubai is the least strict of the 7 emirates, hence your chances of running game there are better than say Abu Dhabi or Sharjah (pretty conservative ones)

RE: Dubai
I've heard about all the imported whores in Dubai. That's a sign that the country is a major cockfest. Like you said, the local Arab women are off limits like any Arab country. Foreign workers are always going to be disproportionately male. I'm guessing all these hookers brought in wouldn't be there if the place wasn't a cockfest.

I have heard stories of 5000 cars being abandoned at the airport because expats are fleeing. Truth to that?

I have also heard that tourism is down huge. Which hurts when you are trying to swoop rich tourist girls.

Personally, I haven't heard of anyone going in the last year.

RE: Dubai
In general I would recommend against going to Arab countries. While there are friendly Arabs, the culture isn't very conducive to "having a good time" in the sense that people around the world are used to. If you want to visit an Arab country, try Lebanon/Beirut-- at least they are the least Arab of them all.

RE: Dubai
Just found this data sheet:

The Most Overrated Destination on the Planet

All of those destinations are somewhat overrated – which doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go there. You should do exactly what you want; just try to keep your expectations in check. There’s one place over all the others, however, that wins the prize for being the most over-hyped city anywhere on the planet:

Dubai, UAE. I enjoyed driving around the Emirates a couple years ago (there are seven of them – Abu Dhabi, Ajman, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Sharjah, and Umm Al Qwain – naturally, I went to each one), but my time in Dubai was surreal.

This is not actually that unusual, because most travelers end up thinking that Dubai is odd when they get there. The majority of the people you’ll interact with in Dubai are immigrant workers (English surpassed Arabic as the common language a while back), and seemingly permanent construction cranes fill the city. Yes, you can get anything you want in Dubai, but since sheiks and Russian billionaires use Dubai as a playground, it won’t be cheap. As for entertainment, there are shopping malls, shopping centers, shopping areas with fake ski resorts, and hotels with shopping malls enclosed within.

The Alternative: Oman, a nearby Persian Gulf country, is much more fun and a thousand times more authentic. Qatar is also OK, but seems to be on track to become another Dubai as soon as they can build a ski lodge and fake islands with huge hotels.

RE: Dubai
I agree that is better to stay off arab lands, in general. That is why I am not willing to relocate there even with a good financial incentive.

Dubai based their post oil production economy (10 years ago or so) on tourism and construction development, both are quite shaky pilars to an economy and they are seeing the fruits of it now, but not to worry, because Abu Dhabi will rescue and buy them if needed.

To live in those countries must be sooo superficial, that I doubt I could bare it, people just thinking about money, no real culture, no real landscapes but desert and enclosed shopping malls, that is no quality of life in my books.
But to go there on a short, less than a week trip and try to score many willing expat women, then I think it coult be fun. I have a friend who just came from a short trip there last week.

In that area, I rather go for a real holiday to Lebanon and Israel.

RE: Dubai
Unless you are prepared to pay for whores, best of luck.

Dubai is a sausage fest. Women have fewer rights there so its difficult for them to attract expat women. You have a large western expat force which is made of men predominantly as a result. The expat women that are there are power career ball busters. The local women are not going to even look at you unless you are a Muslim. Coming from the US, you know what happens when the ratios are skewed in favour of the women.

For a holiday, not a bad place to spend a day or two. To live there? Well, if you have intentions of hunting in and around the Mediterranean, not a bad place to be based. Lot of work, low taxes and very high wages. Well up until last week that is. Seems as if they are in debt up to their eyeballs. Going there for pussy? Might as well visit the local whorehouse. It will be cheaper
