Of men and clubbing

I went out yesterday. To a club. I rarely go to clubs, I hate them. They are usually too loud, too packed, too boring, and filled with people who think they are God's gift to this Earth. I can't remember the last time I actually had fun in a club.

Last night wasn't all that bad though, but still...I'd much rather go to a nice bar, with a bunch of friends, have a nice drink, talk, laugh....Or go to the movies....or invite people over for dinner....or be invited to dinner (I miss those actually....I used to love going to dinner at my friends' place when I was in Montreal. Ned, Chazoo, Jones, Catou, if you're reading this, you know I am talking about you, right?).

Anyway, that's besides the point.

I realised yesterday that men really do outnumber women in this country. There were probably 5 men to every woman at the club yesterday. Is it because there are really a lot less women here? Or because most young women are not allowed to go out because of strict parents? I don't know. But what I do know is that although the men outnumber the women in quantity, I am not so sure this is also true when it comes to quality.

I know there are decent, smart young men out there with a good head on their shoulders and some sort of a sense of humour. They must exist. I just haven't met them yet. Where are they hiding?

Get him outa here! He invaded my blog too.

Ah, dinner parties. We had a great crowd too, back in Oz. Gather about 7pm for drinks, then dinner around eight-ish, end about 2am. Non-stop chat, laughter, arguments, stories, experiences. Nothing beats it I think.

We're trying to get it together here, but the ridiculous working hours make it difficult.

Oh, Sunny - it seems as if you are spreading your love around!

You see, DS - just when you wonder where all the nice men are, one comes knocking on your blog, professing his undying love for you!

Wedding bells are ringing! lol

Haha
It's hilarious! In a creepy kind of way......
Sunny, a word of advice, you gotta slow down man. You can really scare a girl away if you're already professing your undying love to her before you've even laid your eyes on her.

And here I was thinking my sister had been hiding a secret admirer from me!!

Hmm...nice writing, but definitely very much old old old school romance. Why is he everywhere??

You think if I knew where the quality men were hiding, I wouldn't have told you? I'm not that mean. But yes, quality men are hard to come around around here. And I also think quality women are hard to come around; sure, a lot of them are gorgeous, but I don't think there's much substance behind it.

Otherwise, why the hell do I still hear my guy friends complain all the time?

Quality people are around here somewhere, they're just hidden in the dunes of the desert or something...or behind their computer screens, blogging (ha!)...or, they have definitely blacklisted clubs and bars.

Or Visiting the dunes of the desert very soon ;). Sunny's comment( book) is making me nauseous. It's suffocating love.

Dubai Sunshine said...

Haha...I am convinced most quality people are behind their computer screens, blogging :) I say "most" because you still have the occasional weirdo blogger out there.

Mar, when will you be visiting our dunes?

Mar said...

Easter vacation! It will be my first time visiting. I asked you a while ago about your move to Dubai from Canada and how I'd like to move there probably within one year. I'm also visiting the city you work in :) you know, full of media and all that good stuff.
