social life

Question for EK chaps:

Aside from the job, money, housing, etc. - what's the social side of life like in Dubai for non-married types?

Are there opportunities/places to meet single women or would one become frustrated and start eyeing-up the camels?

A high standard of living doesn't count for much if you can't "share" it with the fairer sex, right?

Just curious....

What was that old Clint Eastwood movie?

"Think Russian" saved the day. Same thoughts would end a drought in the desert.

Have heard from the single guys in Emirates you need two pieces of male apparatus. As the first one will wear out in a few months.

Ask One Ball. Single EK pilot who haunts the MidEast section. Look what has happend to him!

Not sure how American accents are received.

Is there a few bars that have the usual out in DXB ???

Wine/Women/Song ????

If one went to work in DXB and split from long term girlfriend, would it be easy to hook up with a few ladies ???? and have a large amount of beer? etc

Regardless of where it appears on the worlds atlas, Dubai really isn’t in the Middle East, it is happily in the year 2003.......

As far as wine/women/song goes, it’s a party capital………… although the Guinness isn’t all that good……

The ******, ( Wives Away No Kids Eating Rubbish ) club is in full swing at the moment till the end of August with a lot of partying going on. Excellent deals around town on wine and song, not too sure about the women.

Cool

Every night seems to be ladies night round here at the mo. Try Carters on a Sunday night or Zinc just about any night of the week.

Best thing about Dubai..........1500 emirates hosties.

Worst thing about Dubai.............only 1500 emirates hosties

Can't agree with Mutt bout the Guinness as drank (and spilt) lots of Guinness at the Irish Village the other night and tasted good to me. The Irish Guinness expert who was with me was impressed also as he said the foam stuck to the glass all the way down which is a good sign???? Dunno bout that but it tasted good.

Also with the Emirates Hostie training college and accomodation over the road the Irish Village seemed to have its fair share of 6ft tall blondes.

bladums,
it's the other way around, they make us drunk and then they take advantage of us.
