There are loads of Westerners here but do not limit yourself to just your own race. There are loads of other people from all over the world as well, who you will get on with equally as well. I work in an office and we effectively have someone from every single continent (apart from America) and we all get on like a house on fire! Learnt so many interesting things and I reckon I've got a place to stay if I ever visit their home country!

Come along to the Expat Night Out! You'll be sure to meet loads of people there! Safer way of making friends as well!!

Totally agree with Maz! I made many friends from the UAE, India, Pakistan (found Lebanese guys were sex mad though!), New Zealand, America, Bangladesh, Spain and Germany! I found living in Dubai a totally enriching experience and learnt about so much about many other cultures!

I don't want to disappoint anyone here but the wink has nothing to do with anything. I won't go as far as saying that I know it all when it comes to women, but I think the average guy is totally clueless, it's almost sad sometimes!

The only thing anyone will achieve on here is looking like a creep! Make some friends, network with others and you will meet women, the internet is about the worst place to do this. This russian girl said she'd like to make some friends, and all guys hear "I'm looking for a **** friend" well sorry guys, everyday life is sometimes different than your average porn flick.

My best friend has been in Dubai for a year, and he tells me on a regular basis how easy it is to make friends down there, that everyone talks to each other and that people are very friendly. I believe him, first because I've known him for over 20 years, and 2nd because it makes sense. Tell yourself that everyone in Dubai comes from somewhere else and we all need friends/companionship. I think people don't make efforts to get to know others or to make friends, but I'm sure if anyone really wants they can meet great people in a city like Dubai. I've lived all my life in Montreal, Canada and trust me, if you can make friends here you can make some anywhere. People are cold, suspicious of everyone, and talking to a stranger basically makes you desperate or a creep.
