Default Emirates question

I get the feeling I'm not the first guy to wonder this, but no one seems to have asked it.

Dubai is a Muslim country, and also has an unfavorable male/female ratio.

Can a single guy get laid in Dubai? I don't have a family or anything so I can easily pull chocks and move off to the Middle East, and financially it looks like a great move.

Ten years of no a** doesn't sound fun though.

If you can't get it there, just divy up your per diem to the working girls when you overnight in LHR, AMS, FRA, etc. I think this is the first time I've seen someone post a concern about flying for a major and not getting laid. I don't know about their flight attendants but doesn't the muslim culture pretty much dictate that the man runs every thing. I think you'll be fine.

If a single guy can't get laid in Dubai then he can't get laid anywhere.

You are kidding right? I flew for DHL out of Bahrain and it was an outright mad house in both Manama and Dubai mate. 3000 FA's in Bahrain and what, about 5000 in Dubai. You'd have to look like the elephant man.

What they wear in the clubs would shock some American liberals. It is not downtown Jeddah.

Working for a US regional, I totally forgot that FAs could be hot. Here they're the 4 G's - Gay, Ghetto, Granny, or Gigantic.

I flew out of bahrain for a year with the Navy.. Bahrain and Dubai have the absolute hotest women in the world! They are all models with the trimming done in all the right places.. very lonely and like aviators.. But after asking that question.. I still don't think you'll get laid Kidding.. good luck there.. I loved it

Talk about having your priorities straight.

"OK applicant, thanks for coming to the interview, before we let you go, do you have any questions for us?"

yes, one. Can a single guy get laid in Dubai?

I just got back from the International Airline Ski Race and the M-rats guys basically liken the situation there to a love-in

Question for the young guys who went to EK by themselves... How hard is it to meet people your age and to maintain a healthy (pilot) social life in Dubai?

Thanks
