Wonderful! It's just a matter of time for you to meet loads of very nice girls.... It's a great opportunity to save some money. Education and housing are expensive if you have to pay them yourself. EK is pretty generous. The same cannot be said down the road at EY.

I can end that pretty fast!

A few of my friends are single and I think the first year or two are great, then they realize they're saving nothing and shut down a large portion of their single life.

Can't say as I've met an extremely happy single guy who's been here over 5 years. That is unless he's an out east bidder.........

Craic Ore- You are not single, so your comments and what you THINK aren't valid.

Let the singlies speak for themselves.

Pretty much like in any other major city. The nightlife is good, but can be pricey. A lot of young single folks is out and about for fun.
You can even upgrade. I arrived single, enjoyed the meat pods for some time, then found the one for me and got married.

Hey Cyber''bird'', why don't you taste the far eastern cuisine instead of treating those fine ladies as if they were less than human?

I guarantee you will forget your fat european mommie pretty quick.

Once you've gone far east, you never go back.

Long live the king!

I agree, Cyberbird comment isn't very smart. It's up to you to preffer "Aussie- & Kiwi & european girls". IMHO, you'd better stay home if all you can bear is what you left. And you know, sometimes it's not bad to find ladies that you don't need to fill in with booze...

I came out here with a wife and am married again now so I feel maybe I speak with a little authority on this topic. There is a lot of fun to be had for the un-married or un-happily married fellas at Emirates. We can sum up the nationalities amongst the CC pretty much as follows:
  • English totty – Bad-teeth slappers with large memories but generally fun if you can get past the accents. Prone to run to fat.
  • Aussies –They need a bit of time to work out the games they played back home don’t work here. They’re liable to have been “lebanised” at least once or twice before they figure it out and “lower” themselves to trying a pilot.
  • S. Africans – Can be a bit weird. Churchy, too, but skilled excavators of rare metals. If you marry one there shouldn't be a problem with whose country to move back to one day.
  • Kiwis – Funny accent. Not knowing much about the big wide world, they’ll give anything a try.
  • Koreans – Either devoutly religious or one-pot screamers. Worth a look.
  • Japanese – Very polite but not much in the titular dept.
  • Thais – Clingy with pushed-in noses. Silly. Good cooks.
  • Malaysians – Same noses but with fish-breath thrown in.
  • Indians – Some beauties to be found if you don’t mind Eau de Curry and a wobbly head.
  • MELT – (Morroccan, Egyptian, Lebo-nese, Tunisian) The locals fellas don’t go after the Morroccans for nothing, you know... the rest, well, generally surly with the occasional mono-brow. Lazy in the work place = lazy in the sack?
  • Pilipinose – Expert breeders.
  • Iranians – Not that many but usually pleasant and occasionally not bad-looking. Not at all crazy like their president. Not sure if they put out though.
  • Eastern European – No risk of smile lines ever marring their blonde-haired, blue-eyed good looks. Hungry. Handy with a knife. Proceed with caution.
  • Kenyans - They wear wigs but you can see them a mile away even at night. Some good reviews.
  • Brazilians - Easily the pick of the lot. Most of their own men are bi-, homo- or trans- sexuals. They're keen to re-locate but hardly need the extra motivation as their natural outlook easily blows away any of the above. Very good-looking. Broad-minded. Needless to say, the "Brazilian" was aptly-named.
There’s a lot of fun to be had and you don’t have to try that hard even if, like me, you’re not blessed with good looks. As said above, Dubai is plastic and fake so try the girls in economy class as they will try a little harder to improve their situation above the other chicks. Which ever you prefer, they're all keen to be invited back to your place so they can get away from their two flatmates. Easy.

Mulla!! onya!

That post would have to be one of the most accurate I have ever come across on this site. I came to EK 8 years ago single and had a BALL!!!

The best I ever did was 5 nationalities in 24 hours - and I didn't even leave my villa.. but it did cost me a bottle of wine.. sorry to indulge my past luck ( and I am just an av guy - not slick lebo!

perhaps that is bragging but it was a fact... and I was almost 40 too... so come and enjoy!!! ( never had a three some .... until I came to DXb and managed to convince girlfriend it would be good for her a few times.... ended in tears but hey goes into the memoirs!

BTW - now married to a cool Aussi girl again so life is a bit different but fun in another type of way! There are plenty of stories like this - it is disney world for adults... just head to rattle snake to confirm it!

Go for it !!!

Post of the week (will almost certainly be the month) award Mullah Kintyre.

This is what this site used to be all about before the wannabees & whingers took it over.

Thanks for making me smile after my rugby team let me down today.

Excellent post by Mullah.
Have only just stopped laughing.
He was spot on.
I am a japie but he did neglect to say that the SA girls here do have an attitude and think they are something special when in fact most of them are far from that

In the interests of fair play....Would an Emirates lady care to provide her user report of the flight deck?

I think it's a really disgusting way of describing human beings (not to say racist).

when you find yourself writing such crap, you definitely have a problem with women. I guess all you can get is thanks to your Ek crew status (not to mention some wine or even cash). As a single, I wouldn't consider it as a reference. If you're married, I would say your wife should be the best advice for whoever is looking for the ride of his life, since she must be the most desperate women of the entire UAE !

If you're not able to respect women you're having fun with (even for one night) you'd better start saving money, since you'll need a lot to keep people around you when you'll become an old & wrinkled a.. hole.

Mullah - I pissed myself laughing. Each and every word of your post is true gospel. Politically 666 but sooooo true. Let me add:

- Lebo girls: Supposed to be the most beautiful girls on the planet, but with an inferiority complex. They need to proof themselves. Best by shagging YOU.

- UAE: Once the ladies are past their 30s and divorced for the 4th time, they are fed up with their machos and out for some white butts. Try Garhoud block gas station after 22:00.


German/Austrian/Swiss girls: Pick them from Long Bar or Boston Bar after 03:30 when they become sulky and home sick.

Dubai virtually guarantees that nobody goes to bed lonely.
