No not in the honeymoon phase...not living in DXB merely RON...I am based about 8 hrs east of DXB.
I would not chose to live in DXB...the traffic is a nightmare...the worst I have ever seen...and summer in DXB is a nightmare....but this time of year the weather is very nice.
But I spend many nights a mth here on layovers and have more than a few mates at EK to drink beer with...and I here all the moans...EK is NOT a great gig if you already have a jet job.
As to the female of the species...there is a HELL of a lot here besides the Russian and Chinese hookers...personally I have come to believe that DXB is virtually run by the Russian Mob....but don't forget 5000 EK FAs and the FAs from the various Corporate Jet operations....there is NO shortage of 'nice' females in DXB.
