[QUOTE=Biggins230;1650657]I was under the impression that Qatar was an Islam sate and sex outside of marriage was forbidden.Are there such practices in place for arranged marriages in this country?[/QUOTE]Sex outside marriage forbidden. Marriage is arranged. You find more about this by googling.

You asked about the same on Bolivia forum.

You has a post on Yemen forum and got following response:

EDITOR's NOTE: This report was edited or deleted because the writing was so bad that the report was nearly impossible to comprehend.

Was at W yesterday. A lot of ladies. My focus was different so did not try to find out whether WG or not. A lot of Qatar Airways crew go there. However keep in mind: "A curfew is set for all cabin crew at 3:30 am. All crew members must be in accommodation buildings before 3:30 am irrespective of the next day duty. The log book together with Swiping I'd system and camera footage can be used as evidences against any staff member in breach of the curfew rule. Strict actions -including termination of employment- can be taken. So far, the most common reason for crew members losing their jobs is not adhering to the curfew rule. ".

Been at Qube this week. The place was quite empty. Far more ladies than men. Ladies are saying business difficult during week and only during weekend it is possible to get customers. Of course prices are different week / weekend.

Radisson / Orion /9th floor: I was told the place was closed for PRC now. Earlier there used to be around 20 PRC WG.

9th floor: A lot of people but the WG group had disappeared. Obviously rules have changed.

Qube: A lot of people as it was weekend. Both WG and other ladies. Qube is still a Filipino meeting place.

Other places? I'm sure there are a few WG at Krossroads however have not been there for a while. One Qube PRC I spoke with about places for a WG said "only Qube". Probably not 100% correct. I had a comment re W below. Anyone knows about other places?

Spoke with a lady (PRC) this afternoon and she commented that a lot of ladies had got problems at Qube yesterday. She had not been there however heard from colleagues. Visa costs (sponsor fee) lower in Dubai than Qatar and a lot use to have UAE RP and go to Qatar on 3 month visa. As of yesterday those ladies were rejected or had to leave early.

I noticed yesterday Less ladies and some were missing but was not aware of this special problem. Think after a few days we will know. National day is 18th in Qatar but don't think there is a link.

Out for a few beer this evening. Mostly for testing my worries from yesterday. Just came back from Radisson.

9th floor: Quite empty as expected. No weekend and some ladies banned one week back.

Qube: Less than 50 people at 10 pm. Less than 10 ladies. Probably 90% Fili. Rest African? ZERO WG.

I asked the person scanning member cards at Qube and his response ladies probably gone other places. BS. They have been asked to give a diplomatic explanation. Seems the decision is not from the hotel but from somewhere else. It means that the situation is the same other places as well. I tried to ask one person how long; however got no answer and of course he did not know.

Seems there is a government crackdown. Any other have some comments or got some info?

I have noticed earlier comments about dry country. What now? Getting even drier than before?

I can only assume it's a clean up prior to national day next week. They will want to show what a safe and clean country it is.

Qube: Have been at Qube a few times recently. Not a place to pick up WG. Might be I saw a few African once. Yesterday I saw one PRC stopped at entrance. A PRC friend of mine commented that they did not accept PRC with Dubai visa and that PRC with Qatari I'd could enter every third day. When going there yesterday it did not look like that was the rule. Rejection of PRC started during the swimming championship and Radisson was a sponsor hotel. One security person told me one week back they had to do something as too many WG.

Krossroads: Both this club and the other in the same hotel have restricted PRC meaning more or less none.

Mercure (before Sofitel): More ladies than before but business lousy. Men mostly from the Subcontinent and rather drinking. If you go to this place be aware entrance is next to hotel entrance.

Yes, National Day this week. Whether it's different afterwards remains to see; I'm not convinced.

FR this week.

Rad: Orion twice and Qube once. At 10 pm at Qube there were only 3 ladies; Filis and non-WG. Both places PRC not allowed to enter alone.

Horizon: 3 bars / clubs including Krossroads. PRC not allowed to enter alone. I helped one lady to get inside inside second floor and thereafter Fahrenheit.

Sofitel (current name Mercure): LE Club is packed with PRC and Indian. Limited business. If you are European all ladies will try to grab you. If you go there don't go inside Sofitel; go where you see taxis waiting.

Most WG in Doha have been PRC. A lot have either moved to Dubai (as several had Dubai visa) or moved back to PRC. Keep in mind that high visa costs and housing / food requires some income.

Unfortunately I don't have good news to bring you.

I've been working in Oman for the past 4 months so wasn't aware of the crack down on PRC in Doha. I recently stayed at the Rad Blu in Doha and was initially surprised by the lack of ladies in the Orion Bar. As other commentators have said the staff at Rad Blu only give diplomatic responses when queried about such problems! I've been in the Middle East for many years so nothing really surprises me but the Orion Bar has really taken the biscuit. They're not letting in the PRC ladies but are happy for the place to be populated by 'feminine fellows' if you get my drift! I had one beer and left very swiftly.

Cpt Flashman[/QUOTE]I have been at Orion twice this week. Second time 2 PRC there, non entering alone. One was following me in. A lot of PRC have left Doha due to difficulties with entering clubs.

Thanks for your regular updates. I've still not scored in Doha and it seems it's even harder to find ladies. When I last went to Orion a few months ago there were 3 or 4 PRC but just 4-5/10 looks so wasn't interested. I saw one PRC in Horizon Rose and Thistle a few weeks back giving me the eye but again a 4/10 so no interest. Not been to Sheraton Waterhole since it reopened but heard no ladies. So maybe I will try the Mercure. Can you tell me more about what you mean when you say "don't go inside Sofitel; go where you see taxis waiting"?

Cpt Flashman[/QUOTE]Flashman,

I don't get your drift about 'feminine fellows' - surely you don't mean ladies that look like ladies but are not ladies?

You don't find 3 or 4 now.

Waterhole: Has reopened as a club lounge for people staying at the hotel.

Mercure: Different entrance. A fem meters from hotel entrance.

Hi all,

Has anyone tried WeChat or Backpage or similar.

At the Qube. At least 30 girls standing by looking to hook up.
