I hate to say this but I have to...

Ah the joys of Saudi Arabia!!  This is their only little outlet.  Hahahahahah )

SAUDI - I LOVE YOU!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxx

You are vastly over-generalizing and labelling all men in here. Most are not perverts. Most are just normal people away from home, including you and I.  Maybe you've had some inappropriate private messages. I have no doubt it occurs.  But don't generalize, based on a personal bad experience.

Please accept my apology and lemme rephrase that... "some men"

it's ok, no apology necessary. Good luck dealing with this place.

There's so many perverted men in this forum... Can we have some respect please?

tell me about it!! i have to clean my inbox from all the messages from the "homosexuals" out here! its unbelievable how many akhmad's want to "spend time with me" or "join me for coffee"! just uncomfortable! i mean i kindda think its their way to behave or their need to make friends with non-locals but so for me it comes off a little gay but thats their culture and the way they have lived their whole lives. i mean women dont show any skin out here so if a lady shows her wrists a little higher, there are like a dozen guys following her around and people ogling at her.

saudi arabia truly is one of the few countries still in the stone age, in the 21st century!

uh oh!

This one really cracked me up! I have nothing against gay community but I think that is just how the locals behave. Come think to think of it... Aren't men supposed to being doing basketball, poker and sheesha nights? instead of sippin' a cup of coffee.

You are right, DJness,IN a society where men hang with men and women hang with women, I can totally see how someone, not gay, would still have a natural tendency to want to be friends, with no agenda.  It seems gay to our culture, that all, because we freely mix with the other gender.

Saudi I love you even more!! - where men are gentlemen, not butch and domineering.

@Djness: You have to say this and more.

Well, let's not get too carried away, Terrier. You may love KSA, for whatever reason, but their men should NOT be one of them...hahaha.

HA! I think it's the other way around hun.

@ DJness: sorry for the bad experience you  have been through. It seems like it aggravated you. I apologize for that but you don't have the right to generalize that. It is like saying "Americans are dumb" or saying "British are stuck ups" or even saying that "Australian are crazy".... that is all not correct what so ever but you might run into couple who could make that assumption correct.

@ everyone else: Saudi Arabia is a country strangely structured which is part of its charm and curse.

I have been in many places that stereo typing is NOT true but it has some meaning... you guys you have to give the Saudi society some credit.


I know there are some stalkers and weirdos... sorry for that.

P.S: sometimes having good intention could be interpreted as evil,stalking or in some cases "being gay"

I don't mean to offend anyone nor generalize especially to the cool and nice homeboys we got here in this forum. I know that there are good men out there whose intentions are clean. I just need to vent out that i'm not interested in any creepy or perverted stuff. Apparently, i'm quite surprised on the reactions I got here.

I totally understand the fact that there are many creepy guys around.

A friend of mine was proposed by a Saudi guy that she never met, he added her on facebook and proposed... just like that!!!!!!!

But there are nice guys. Don't do injustice for the nice guys

What some people find a bit offensive in their cultures, is not so much so in others. Well you cant expect people to behave like what they are not now can you?

I guess its just a part and parcel of how life is. Adapt to the situation, stay safe, and try to have a good time i guess.

You got that wrong ... she said on the forum ---> EXPAT forum ,,,, and the forum is non-Saudi almost 99.99% of the time.. so you really don't have to apologize on behalf of every expat in KSA, they just have to learn how to behave them self's.

Somebody already pointed out the obvious on how to report an abuse on the site ... but it strikes me as odd how this post found its way from being an issue of an EXPAT forum to a local's issue, if there was an issue to begin with...

There's something wrong with this post,... seriously !!

I think I took it as a local problem because it was posted in the Saudi Arabia section. It wasn't posted in USA form nor UK.

Since SORRY you spell all bitter-taste and experiences you've to share. But life realities is not in just open pants or bikinies it's in how-much value you've pertain it in decent behavior rather-then searching in for informal activities. Might-be due to your style and attraction you gather certain audience which corrupt the society but no-one can dare to-do it open here so to face the real chance of disappearing head from the bottle. So I emphasize to-be serious in life and approach and see the deseases is spreading as just because the other cultures is culminating the bad habits and all other are suffering.

SO MY FRIEND THIS IS DEVELOPING NATION YOU'LL SEE WHAT THEY PROOF IN THE NEXT TERM OR PHASE OF THIS RUDE / NUDE WORLD OF HYPOCRISY.....

ok - everything has been said here.

Now, if there is any problem, please use the report link
