I'm flying to there now, will be there 2300 on Saturday for a few days.

any recommendations for venues for an older crowd? I am looking for Arab and Indian divorcees.

Specifically for Arab and Indian I don't know honestly. But older women are all around looking for fun. You can usually find them in lounges such as Buddha Bar and so.
I have been going to a lounge at Media One Hotel. It has a "african party" every Friday night, which doesn't have much of african but does have a good crowd. There are always some cougars on the hunt around there but probably more on the euro side. I haven't found the arab cougar den yet.

I have nothing against Euro cougars, just never thought they were really available here, so thanks for the tip. The white women I've seen in Dubai out shopping look like kept and captive.

Dubai's pretty easy if you're pipelining Filipinas and Africans or daygaming them at the malls. I'd like to try something different this time.

Seems like no one is addressing the large elephant (and it's more like a fact than a "myth") in the room. So, I'll give it a try... From what I understand, it's a serious crime in Dubai to have sex outside of marriage. Though, I am sure many foreigners do it and some don't even realize that it's illegal. That would add an extra dimension to gaming in that part of the world. Great if you're an adrenaline junkie though...

Not really a danger - the hotel you choose is the issue. If you are in one with a large lobby with shops and restaurants, easy to get them in. Even at most others, the most that happens is they make a copy of the girl's ID. Of course, if you got into some fight with her that attracted attention, there might be an issue. Some hotels won't let an unrelated female up to your room.

I need to state that I have been mostly circling around what they call New Dubai (Marina, JLT, Jumeirah). This weekend I went up to Burj Dubai where most hardcore clubs are, and for me that's still new surroundings.

About transportation... Having a car is a must to explore and do stuff like going sailing or diving in Fujeirah for the weekend. For nights out, taxis are cheap and very easy to get. But it's all about location.

Haven't felt very much at ease to approach in malls as there is a lot of arab crowd. The beach however looks like a good place to do it and JBR promenade as well.

[Pilgrim37]

However many shiny new buildings or malls it builds Dubai remains a hole!
Why anyone would put it top of their holiday or work aspirations is beyond me!

In Dubai, for an expat it's not a huge wage by any means.

how much money does a player needs in dubai ? how difficult is it to pull non hookers ? i.e. foreign expat girls ? last time I was in dubai was almost 10 years ago...

[Matt3B]

I used to live in the Marina back in 2009. I was only 20 at the time and they were pretty strict on ID, so I wasn't able to go out a lot. I snuck into a few places but never really experienced the nightlife.

From my understanding of Dubai as a whole, things are picking up again after that massive dive. One of my best friends is out there still and is making an absolute killing.

Everyone is in party mode on the weekends. Head to the beach by JBR and everyone is strutting looking to be picked up. I've seen girls get up from sunbathing to stop dudes walking along by the water. It's mental.

Also, if you haven't check out some of the brunches. The Madinat is pretty expensive but one of the best in my opinion.

[Doc_J]

I haven't seen that level of aggressiveness from the girls in the beach, but there is definitely a good pickup scene going on around here.

Have to agree Madinat is a good place. Some of the bars there as well at night are pretty cool to meet new people.

What are the tech relates jobs like there? If anyone is working in tech there what are some good companies credentials? Also how tough is breaking into tourism from the entrepreneur perspective? I'm especially curious about setting up trips for package tour companies or the like.

I've been in Dubai for a couple of weeks already and will be here for the rest of May.

Not really sure how to day game here since I keep getting scared of mistakenly doing something that will get me thrown in jail. That might just be me being pussy, but I'd rather err on the side of caution. However, if anyone has any tips on day gaming here, I would love to hear it.

As far as night game is concerned, I have been to:

- Rodeo Drive: Absolute sausage fest, saw a few blonde legs but for the most part it was full of dudes. Won't go back.

- Calabar: This place was an amazing upscale lounge. Was there with another couple and didn't approach, but definitely going back here solo. Vibe and crowd really suited my taste. Will go back.

- Music Room: Live classic rock music scene, ratio not good, but most guys had no game. The girls weren't getting hit on, and I was getting eyefucked by these cute little asians all over the place. Bad part of the night: White-knighting bouncer literally comes up to my buddy and me while we are talking to these chics and tells us we need to stop. Won't go back.

- Irish Village: Good vibe, though everyone was in group. I gave off a bad first impression as I entered the venue with 5 other blue pill as fuck dudes. Will go back, with a better group of people.

So far no action in Dubai, which sucks since I was doing good in Canada less than a month ago. I was in Waterloo, which is 2 hours west of Toronto and gets similar rep, and still doing fine. It's funny that a place like Dubai with gorgeous women everywhere is proving to be a challenge.

Anyone feel like dropping some recent (2014) venue specific info?

Additionally, anyone down to meetup?

[Octane]

Thanks for sharing. This may help me prepare for my future Dubai trip.

[DarkKing]

Anyone pick up an Emirati chick or other Gulf Arab for that matter?

[Sp5]

I was there a couple weeks ago for a week. One 28 yo Ugandan shopgirl from a street approach. One 38 yo Filipina from WeChat people nearby.

What's your industry, experience, citizenship and ethnicity?

The answer depends on those.

Let's try with my long shot

Sports/Sport journalism/researching, solid experience, Polish, white.

For example: I was curious about working for any basketball teams (http://www.asia-basket.com/United-Arab-E...ball.asp), or maybe football ones there, they seem to hire many foreigners (some of this players are well known on basketball/fotball scene).
I have a legit experience in basketball scouting plus plenty of legit contacts insinde the business in USA and Europe.

More popular option would have to be related to sports journalism/researching.

[panache]

AFAIK basketball is not huge over here. Football (by which I assume soccer) is a lot bigger, with many local teams that have good funding. That's probably a more realistic target IMO.

The journalism market here is pretty packed to be honest. Media and marketing in general is not doing so well job wise.

In your case, I would probably do some more research on the actual teams, and reach out to the players / managers with specifically how you can help them. If you have any network here, leverage it, since everything works through word of mouth. Specifically, try and talk to local Emiratis, they are more likely to hire you because of your experience and color. (not being racist, just honest)

Schools here are always looking for foreign teachers, so someone with scouting connections could be a huge selling point for them. That's an angle where you are likely to be successful. This would set you up with a pretty comfortable pay/lifestyle.

I hope this is somewhat helpful. Let me know if you need some more info.

Big thanks.

I speak English and French and am finishing my degrees in law and finance this year but have limited work experience (I have been an intern in a law firm and worked in retail banking while at uni). I am caucasian. New Zealand citizenship.

[Booyah]

Law and finance are quite specific subjects, it's hard to be employed somewhere outside the country where you graduated.

[draguer]

I disagree for finance. With law that's true but I'm open to different roles.
