Welcome in advance.
I have met so many terrific people over here, from different nationalities expect UAE locals; I have only dealt with them as customers but they were nice too.
Dubai rocks, hurry!

The only catch is the weather; it is so damn hot and humid and it is still spring season! I don't know how'd handle it in summer. Outdoors activities are a no no for next 4 months.

If you stalk someone and think this girl will like you and consider you a special someone in her life, think again.
There are many of you I see. It is right; freaks are international!

Well depends on the type of music. If you want trance and house and stuff, usually it is Trilogy in Madinat Jumeirah. If you are into blues or jazz then try out The Blues Bar in Novotel or Jam Base in Madinat Jumeirah again.
If you want just normal Socilaizing then try out Brastis. It is in Jumeirah but dont know where but another place is Bar Zar in Madinat Jumeirah where tuesday 70 dhs for 5 drinks.
If your into Rock music try out Hard Rock as usual or maybe Music Room in Majestic is Bur Dubai-beside Standard Chartered Bank in Al Mankhool Road. Same place is a Sports Bar where there is 2 shots of Jd for the price of One.
Then in Habtoor Grande there is a club called Tube which frankly speaking to me looks like a indoor Gym turned into a Club. hehe
If you're into Trance and House or whatevr the Genre of music people call it the on Friday Faithless and Armand Van Bueren is gonna play in the World Trade Center. 275 would the ticket
If you're into Rock then better be there for AEROSMITH on 31st of may. I am definitely gonna be there.
Then your have Apartments which I forgot where it is but they are into RNB music.
Then you can also Check out Chi in Al Nasr Leisureland near Lamcy Plaza. That place has both Rnb and house. Its a good place too.
I dont party I just live the moment of music.

I am coming solo as well. From my couple of trips to Dubai, it seems like its a place full of couples. I don't know how the single scene is. Even when I've been out, all I see are couples!

and it's even more so where I live; NOTHING but large British, American or Lebanese families.
From London to Dubai
Hi guys,
Another to add to the list of singletons!! I finally moved here 2 weeks ago, with two mate/business partners who are attached/settled down. Till I network new friends, nights out seem to be restricted as to when my mates are allowed out without causing too much conflict with their other halfs...
Just wondered whether there's any gatherings/drinks nights for peeps that are new here?
Luckily in the meantime to kill off some boredom, I have a pal staying over from Uk for the next couple of days. Can anyone suggest a lively place tonight and tmmrw?
Thanks,
FLTD

Probably the reason why you make it a point to make a
statement and to
confirm that all you see is couples and families is the fact that its not true at all. What sights did you see what you got stepped out of the airport for the first time?
In case you don't believe what your eyes tell you, population has about 3 males for every female.

So wouldn't this confirm this to be even more true? Not only are there families and couples but the rest are just lonely men, no?

Not all females in the constitute a couple or family. Minus the young women below 18, the solo women, and the prostitutes, then there's a LOT of solo men.
I assume many of you have traveled to more than one or two .. have you noticed any "gender imbalance"? Because I haven't.

From the Sunday Mail:
"24 June 2007
ACCUSED.. OF HAVING SEX WITH HIS BIKE
Women 'caught man in act'
Exclusive by Billy Paterson
A MAN has been charged with having sex with his bike.
Robert Stewart was allegedly caught in the act by two terrified cleaners who walked into his bedroom in a hostel.
Stewart has denied the accusation, claiming it was caused by a misunderstanding after he had too much to drink.
The 51-year-old bachelor was charged with the bizarre sexual offence after he was disturbed by the cleaner and her colleague in a private hostel in Ayr.
The charge alleges he conducted himself in a disorderly manner, simulated sex with a bicycle and continued to do so while naked from the waist down in the presence of two female employees."
Another reason for finding that foot pump!!!!!!!!!!!
