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...

[thegmanifesto]

I know a lot of cats who have been. I have never had the desire.

"But I can't even picture what kinds of women, if any, would be available."

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.

[speakeasy]

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...

"To me, it just looks like Vegas without casinos with an Arab twist. Yawn... "

Exactly.

Although I hear its like Las Vegas on creatine.

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

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)

[speakeasy]

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.

[thegmanifesto]

"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."

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.

[kerouac]

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.

[thegmanifesto]

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.

[lilactag]

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.

Dubai exchange nosedives as trading resumes

[Whoremonger]

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

Lol, the ultimate phallic symbol goes flaccid. What does that tell you?

[InternationalSwagger]

Not much information on Dubai here on the forum but I'm going to be touching down this weekend & will be partying, sightseeing and staying at The Ritz Carlton Hotel there. One of my friends has been living & working there for the past 3 years and he isn't a big fan of living there but he gets money out there and says Dubai has some hot girls who are mostly tourists visiting and chicks from other less conservative Arabic countries and Western, Asian and Russians that are stunners who work in some capacity there.

I'm going ALL OUT for One Night Stands all weekend since I'm only there for a short time and didn't do any online pimpin so we'll see how it turns out. My boy has the club scene down pact out there but if anyone has any suggestions for some low key gaming spots I'm all ears!

[Aliblahba]

The only place I can recommend for pickup is The Irish Village. Your friend should have the best spots mapped out. All the clubs I believe are all working girls.

[InternationalSwagger]

Just touched down in Dubai...flight was cool I didn't get upgraded to first class but the flight in coach wasn't bad either and I slept thrr majority of the flight so I'm ready to get out here and get it popping. I noticed the majority of the flight was guys and a lot of them had tap out shirts and other mma douche bag wear and found out the majority of the flight consists of military personel and contractors which explains the demographic perfectly. There wasn't one cute girl on the flight...lol. about to head to the hotel will keep u guys posted.

Ha.

Typical of this day and age.

Make it happen over there, I am interested in this report.

INS- I was wondering is it hot as hell over there. Were the flight attendants fly? Keep us informed!

I love seeing contractors wearing their obnoxious jackets w/ military patches sewn all over. The dumb fucks will sport that shit all over Dubai, Kuwait, and the airports. We call them PX warriors b/c they buy this "tough guy" shit and pretend they are some bad ass. It goes far beyond affliction shirts. When I hear them spewing shit in an airport bar I call'em out in a heartbeat. It used to be confined to KBR assclowns but has spread all over now. 90% of these guys have never served but come home and tell war stories and make it sound far worse than the media portrays. I won't even talk to them on the plane.

[Tommy]

There are alot of Filipina girls in Dubai, on the other hand I met quite a few Arabs in the Philippines looking for marriage...

[reddicjohnson]

Wonderful discussion in this forum..thanks

[InternationalSwagger]

Ok well two nights In and the clubs were quite nice and pretty ripe for pick up...

The music was on point on both Friday Night at Madinat Jumeira on The Trilogy "Rooftop" http://www.jumeirah.com/en/Hotels-and-Re...+Nightlife The DJ was spinning dope R&B and Hip-Hop new and old and had the dance floor jamming. One of my boys with a few chicks had bottle service so we slid In for free but I gathered that It was tough to enter clubs If you didnt have women with you or didnt ante up for bottle service. The club was a mix of Russian, Western Europe and African expats. I was dancing with this one fly Coastal Spanish chick who worked at a bank there and made out with her passionately on the spot and tried to take her home but her Filipina friend was hating and my boy tried to get on her but to no avail exchanged #'s & kept it moving. I ended up chatting up several fly British Chicks exchanged pleasantries with target #1 and got some good attention, dancing but she wasnt coming home with me but I got the number and she told me to call her during the weekend. Next chicks were Two Fly Dominican Girls teaching English from NYC. Me and my boy took them back to the hotel and smoked some shisha on the balcony and I seperated my chick to get her freak on but her girl wasnt as easy and wanted to leave the hotel before I could peel the pantines off...BUMMER! On another note will meet alot of English Teachers in Dubai who come for the good money and a break away from USA.

The next day I did my daily routine of Sauna and Steam and a little work out and promptly hit the beach at The Ritz Carlton Hotel for a second before I ventured off to the desert safari...The beach had some solid talent on it and I chatted up a few Russian girls who were staying at my hotel on the beach who I sensed were automatically intriguied with me for many obvious reasons (I was staying at the Ritz Carlton Hotel, Single, African-American...doesnt happen that much in this part of the world and they automatically assume you are in the arts, entertainment, sports field, so me being in neither gave me some mystery.) Since the safari was starting soon I told them I would get at them later on and we could hit the club together. Another funny story they told me is that the sexual and attention deprived Indian Guys Jack off on the beach while watching hot tourist women. If you didnt already know Indians and Filipinos make up the hard labor work force of Dubai and are at the bottom of the totem pole in Dubai. Anyway The Desert Safari was off the hook and we dune buggied through the desert , had a traditional belly dancing perfomance, rode camels and dined in the desert which was quite nice.

The night we returned from the desert my boy made plans for us to hit the Armani Club http://dubai.armanihotels.com/club-en.html in the tallest building in the world Burj Khalifa with a group of Fly Flight Attendants from Emirates Airlines. The night went extremely well and even though It was alot of guys in there If you came with G you will do well...The DJ was again on point and the music and the vibe of the club was very nice.

The Just came back from Armani club and have this fly ass Somolian British Flight attendent from Emirates that I met and automatically vibed with laid up in the bed with me right now after some bomb ass sex. The clubs have a good amount of dudes in there but there are some hot bitches BUT you have to come with A plus game because the girls from what they told me are used to a lot of tricking and simping from Arab dudes who will spend lavishly to impress women here in the United Arab Emirates. I came Semi-Suited, Black/White Plaid Sports Coat, Black Banana Republic Jeans, Crisp White Dress Shirt, Black Pocket Square, Black Tie, Clear Black Rimmed Ray Bans and I automatically stood out from the crowd and girls complemented me on it immediately including the girl I bedded who continually commented on it.

I met a keeper and this chick is out in the am on a flight but I'm going to chill with her after she turns a flight to oman and chill with her another day. just come suited to distinguish yourself from the dbags and wackness and you will pull. The Burj khalifa which is the tallest building in the world here armani club is is SICK a lot of lames but if you distinguish yourself from dbags your solid gold. We went to a hookah shisha spot after for some one on one time and that was it she was whisked back to my room at the Ritz Carlton. I was going to leave tomorrow but this chick is so cool I'm going to get some extra cupcaking time and fuck a few more times before I leave cuz the pussy is that good. Dubai is a cool spot albeit soulless but you can pull a fair number of nice chicks here If you distinguish yourself but unless you are here on business or in the region I wouldnt put it as a place I have to visit but It's a good hub to travel in the middle east and the horn of africa and asia as evident by its stance in the business world.

There is alot of east african girls and white chicks don't expect too many local arabian girls at clubs because they don't exist but you will find some Indian, Turkish, Moroccans, Lebanese. A lot of russian bitches here too and I'm going to try to open some at the ritz carlton hotel I'm staying at. Everyone else is DTF if you have some game because its a heavy tricking off culture here that flaunts it heavily. If you are in the region I would recommend visiting but I still like Beirut more because overall The locals are less conservative and you don't see any hot Arabic locals around here who are Emirati. But Dubai archeticurally Is amazing and It's crazy how built up the city is after the short amount of time It's been here.

Another spot I didnt get a chance to get to but I heard was gold http://www.cavalliclubdubai.com/

InternationalSwagger,
Hmmm. I was in Dubai for three months. I have total different experience than you do. Yes the locals are very friendly, a totally stranger invited me to his house for dinner, when I told him I was american. Apart from this, my experience is about the same as everybody else.

Couldn't enter clubs because I was told I have to come with a lady.
All the exp. keeps to themselves.
Night club= brothels ( just tell the taxi man to take u to a Night club, and you will end up in a hotel lobby filled with chinese and russian prostitutes.
Disco= Night club
European ladies won't talk to you.
Everybody drives a Ferrari or AMG
Can't go shirtless on the beach.


I won't recommend going to Dubai for any reason apart from work.

Yeah unfortunately with most high end places you need women to gain entry to clubs that's just the way it is.

The Nightclubs that I went to werent brothels which included Armani Club in Burj Khalifa and Rooftop at Mandinet Jumeira...both were popping off and alot of chicks and great music.

I talked to several Euro ladies from Britain and Spain.

I went shirtless on the beach in front of my hotel at the Ritz Carlton with no problems and saw plenty of people doing it.
