EXPAT DATING IN SAUDI ARABIA, A HOW TO FOR GONK

Post by Milord »

OR, DATING AS THOUGH YOUR LIFE (HEAD) IS ON THE LINE

The thought of courting (romantically) in Saudi Arabia is hard to believe, let alone casual dating. But believe it and me it happens quite a lot. In a country with strict gender-segregation rules and ultra Islamic-conservative practices it’s hard to comprehend the idea of dating. Considering dating publicly is strictly against the law here, keep it discrete and you may get away with it. I am by no means advocating forbidden dating. I am a realist and truth be told, it happens. So, for all you single expats venturing out to Saudi Arabia this may in fact be the place you find your soul mate (cheesy, I know).

I have listed the top 5 most popular ways to pick up somebody; Keep in mind discretion is key.


1. Number drop: This has to be the most popular, and the most often practiced. The number drop is giving your number to someone in the most discreet manner possible. This includes no talking and at times even no eye contact. The way to do this is to write your name and number on a small piece of paper, fold it and very graciously drop that number in close proximity to the person. The person will then proceed to pick up the paper and if interested, give you a call.

Some have mastered the art of this pick up, whereby the interested person (most likely the male) will directly drop the number into her purse. The woman is aware and participates by carrying her handbag slightly open for an easy shot.

I have seen/experienced the number drop in many forms. Another common method is doing the name drop through an open window. Yes, directly thrown into your car window. Yes, it is very daring but if you’re interested, you’re interested.

2. Bluetooth Prowl: Technology used at its best. How better to get someone’s attention than directly on their phone. Basically, you keep your Bluetooth on and give yourself a cute (sexy) id name. You then proceed to go to a crowded area (i.e. malls) where you are sure to encounter others. If and when interested you make a blatant gesture on your phone (i.e. checking, typing). The interested party will then perform a Bluetooth search and locate you. If interested accept and proceed with caution.

Girls are known to share pics of them all dolled up and uncovered. It can get a bit risqué; like always discretion is key.

3. Bring a Friend: Comfort in numbers, is the motto of this pick-up trick. Girls, if you're looking to meet a guy it is very rare that a solo guy will grab your attention, it applies to men as well. If you're a man and think that a girl will talk to you alone you're most likely wrong. Simply, the mix of nerves, confidence, stupidity and awkwardness can come off scary when alone. Having friends around is a great buffer and makes one more approachable. Also, people tend to be more confident and ambitious with people around.

4. Getting Lucky (getting laid): If you're looking for a good time and have no interest in a relationship then this is where you want to focus. For starters it’s almost impossible to find it out in the open and no one will be advertising it. But getting lucky usually combines "liquid courage" and the right place. No better place than a Western Compound or Embassy Party. Where no rules/laws apply. Western sexual ideologies are in full swing and it is one of the only places you will find people getting drunk. I don't encourage this because it can get messy when drinks are involved but to each their own. At least now you know where to find it.

5. Online: I know meeting people online is a bit closeted and even embarrassing at times but in such a closed society it in fact is very pleasurable. Imagine meeting someone without having to get dressed up or go anywhere. Saudi Arabia is one of the largest Internet consumers in the world. This being said chat rooms have become a thing of the past with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Tumblr running our social lives what better way to find someone. It’s absolutely brilliant. Unlimited access to messaging and pictures with no fear of breaking laws has made cyber-dating all the rage.


A final note, as long as you're respectful to the culture and the laws enforced then I see no harm in getting to know somebody. That being said, discretion is of the most importance when diving into the dating game here. Be careful, smart and practice extreme caution. No one wants to be caught with their pants down!

Ha! Thanks, Milord!

At first glance i thought this thread was a spammer trying to sell us clank passports again, LoL.

I've already heard of the number drop!

A buddy here already got picked up by a chick like that here, LoL.

I've gone for opted for online.

Already "met" some chick from the Philippines that works as a nurse here sending me naughty pics, and apparently this whole situation is quite the norm.

I feel we've reached the end of the line though.

She's too scared to visit me, and I'm too scared to visit her, LoL.

I want to get a few good paychecks before i start doing things that jeopardise me getting deported (like my dream of visiting Mecca)....

With the head to toe bags that islam imposes on women, we have a saying in America, "Pig in a Poke." (it means you get something without first seeing it.) It is absolutely amazing what gullible people around the world will do in the name of religion.

As L.Ron Hubberd wrote: "You don't get rich by writing science fiction, you get rich by starting a religion." And he did, its called Scientology. Another religious scam like the rest and many rich/clueless actors in Hollyweed have been sucked in.

it's no big deal actually, in muslim countries they marry young and then they fuck like rabbits.

they just don't experience the dating and hook-up culture we have in the West but for them it's like it doesn't exist so they can't make any direct comparison.

actually they don't need to date at all as the marriages are arranged by their families.

on top of this there's widespread homo sex among unmarried males, and if we talk about indonesia/malaysia there's plenty of massage parlours and whores in every big/medium city.

you will never see 20+ yrs virgin guys begging for pussy as in the West, even the uglyest repulsive muslim guy will be coupled with a fugly girl somehow.
as a plus, if she's terrible fugly you won't care as nobody will see her face since she'll covered top to bottom 24x7 ...

don't think these girls are sexually shy, they'll do anything including anal and more, islam has no sexual phobias of any sort once you're married.

I don't know about SA but Iraq they could care less if you were banging a another foreigner(Filipino). Plenty of them there and as long as you didn't flaunt it. As in PDA or just saying it. No one cared. They no likely when you try to take their local 12 yo virgins from them.

I believe Saudi is the strictest of the strict.

I also hear that in Iraq they don't cover their whole faces like they do here.

And I'm in Jeddah, which is supposedly the most liberal part of this country, and some harlets even walk around with their hair showing here! Image

I actually thought I was being followed around the mall by a chick today. It was almost an hour until I got the courage to go ahead and turn around to blatantly check her out. Realized it was my shadow the whole time. :facepalm:
