Dubai is on HARD mode.

I found that I gravitate towards quality over quantity here. I've become hyper selective on the apps, and anytime a convo doesn't flow I just delete the match and move to a better conversation with someone else.

Because of that, I've been able to get dates on most of the matches I kept, sometimes 4 or 5 in a week.

But yeah, a normal night out in popular bars it's just hookers everywhere. Go out to watch the games during the world cup, you'll find a lot of normal women out there, and you can easily engage just by talking about the game.

The most you can do other than relocation is inner game and work on your fitness, etc. even if volume is an issue atleast you’d improve your chances whenever you meet someone ..

Agreed. It’s become a global destination for sex work and gold diggers, and the simps happy to pay up and skew things even with non-working women.

A few years ago, I was in Dubai for a few days, but I didn't notice the women-to-men ratio you’re talking about. What I did see, however, was an insane number of tourists. I've always said that Dubai is a fucked-up city... even with their stupid muslim rules... everything is just weird there. For me as a tourist, it was nice becasue it was short, but for you as a local... I don't know. My condolences.

It's just like Miami, either its prostitutes who have sex for money or a random mid conservative girl who is native. There's no middle they all have been scooped up already

Day game ain't feasible?

ManaDeus · 2026-07-18T22:17:01+00:00

Doesn’t matter if you’re in a hard city, in cities like dubai that are filled with gold diggers and hookers, fuckboys excel as they convey something so different, everyone flashes cash and call that status. Real status: broke or normal income, still fucks and thus shows it on confidence, chicks crave emotion, they’ll cheat on their men for you, be that girl crack. That thing they know it’s bad but somehow can’t stop doing.

Yes it sucks if you are just a normal guy. However, get your fitness right, get good photos in nice places, basically great backdrops, experiences, then go back on the apps, it's your best bet. Here goin to the bar sucks so bad u have to be like a hung tall guy to get any attention Forget about tryin to engage with them, it never works, it puts u in the lower position. So get on the apps the right way and watch how they come to u instead

When a decent sized portion of the population is extremely wealthy, it raises women's financial expectations. I've heard it referred to as the "Dubai-ification" of women. Lots of sugar-baby / halfway prostitute relationships. Expecting lavish dinners and being spoiled from the start.

I 100% recommend moving, but apart from that: For short-term fun obviously the travelers are a good bet. The massive tourism is a benefit for casual sex.

If you want something longer-term, and if you're not weathy yourself - I would say aim for women with a bit lower socio-economic status. Like foreign workers / cleaners / shop workers etc.

If you're well-off, I think you'll just have aim down economically for an honest relationship (same as advice i gave above). Or aim higher and play the sugar-baby game like most of the rich dudes.

aim for someone that attends a hobby same as you: dancing class of some sort, gym etc

I’ve lived and dated and done everything on this topic in dubai for about 11 years. I can talk about this for hours.

But what exactly is your question

oc974 · 2026-07-20T08:11:52+00:00

Unless you live there, why? Why do dudes want to try game in Dubai, Miami and all those other places where your only chance at something involves being extraordinarily rich? There are beautiful people all around the world. And while I'm not saying to go to Toledo for the women, maybe not set your sights at a place that is basically a glorified shopping mall.

Sucks you are in UAE, but why not try Sharjah or Abu Dhabi? Any place that doesn't portray itself like a city-sized amusement park is of course going to structure itself as a pay-to-play locale.

BicycleSpiritual1048 · 2026-07-18T13:29:51+00:00

Dubai was very easy for me when i went there. I just chatted with some bartenders and we went to date and were kissing right away. Dubai is not really difficult. I was not even rich at the time and i was even fat haha.

karl_ae · 2026-07-18T12:11:57+00:00

My friend, Dubai is one of the best places in the whole world for an expat who is looking to find some company. The whole city is built by and for expats. You won't even interact with the locals. I bet you can meet someone from any natonality if you look hard enough.

And about the male to female ratio, your observation is context specific. If you go to places like LSB, Mr. Miyagi etc, sure, you won't meet many decent women. But go to a respectable place for a sunday brunch and you'll meet regular people. The city is filled with middle aged single women looking for their life long partner. Don't be discouraged

I live in Paris, never gamed in Dubai. But I understand what you say.

So, we have too nany tourists, but most are scare, because Paris it's notas it is portrayed, it's full of weirdos, scammers and thieves. So when you approach, they often get scared or with shields up. Because they have their motives to be wary, if they come from damn far.

Those tourists who want to bang, will talk to you. So if you are into banging it's good, they leave after that and never return, however they get free rent in your place and you bang as much as you want. Or some toirist won't even date you, because they think it will be no future since they go back to their continent.

There is also heavy concurence, every lady I was with, she said that she was already approached by 2-3guya before me. Fortunately, they are not players, but local people. Unfortunately, it's enough to mess the set for you. She will think you are another weirdo or street seller. And gamed also local ladies, they get approached daily, it's a question of time when someone else might take her. Unless you have good status and yohr own house. Most people here live js old expensive rents and would kill to move with you for an easier life.

The locals won't even talk to you, since they are approached daily. You are the guy #1000 that year and knows why you come. And most people are mislim immigrants mowadays, so man ladies are muslim. So the religious thing gets in the way. And also many are hookers or after the momey. So cut more than half of the approachable ladies. What's left is less than half who's in relationships or single, but you compete with all ratio of men(married and unmarried).

So, I guess Dubai it's not that different either. But there is a BUT: the field it's not that great at it was the last years. Maybe because I'm getting older? But it also depends on the period of the year that you game. However, there's also the simping epidemic nowadays and the masculinization of women and the never ending of options. So why they would risk it to go with you when other guys pump money for free and give free attention? But this does not mean there won't be approachable sets. But if your game it's good you have chance to capitalize on, and not sure if it's suboptimal.

Know that the players who had hundreds of women, most of those women are not quality. Even me, sometimes you are horny that you'd fc even an ugly one. So if you choose too much, you might go home empty handed

Start/Join a run 🏃‍♂️ 🏃🏻‍♀️ club i hear they're all the rage 🤭

Find a hot hooker and take her off them streets.

Fearless_Arachnid632 · 2026-07-19T22:03:11+00:00

Genuinely asking because I've never been to Dubai and only know things from hearsay, so I'm completely in the dark here.

How does the whole hooker situation actually work? I always thought prostitution was strictly illegal and heavily punished over there.

Do the authorities just turn a blind eye in those bars?

Also, regarding the struggles with regular dating you mentioned... do you think it also has to do with the fact that showing public affection is supposedly a huge no-no over there?

I've heard you can get in actual trouble for that. If you can't even comfortably flirt or be affectionate in public, I imagine "game" or even just having a normal date is almost impossible. Just curious how that dynamic works!
