Topless in the compound
Yesterday I went to a colleague's home for a BBQ. He lives with his wife in a large, very nice compound. After having a late lunch we went to the community swimming pool where I was amazed to see a number of women working on their tans topless. Hard to say the nationalities, but some were white and some more Med/Arab looking.
I'm not complaining as it is OK with my culture but I am askin if this sort of thing is the norm here? Obviously not ok at a public beach, but perfectly acceptable on a compound?
much worst in our compound... even a pool, there's none :D
hahaha
which is this compound...
in my compound dont even see females in the swimming pool
Sad...
Noooooo Waaayyy!!!Thats not acceptable to get ur baps out in a public place.....which is what a compound is isn't it???
nudity is boldness and beauty...
KHATTAK I'm also getting the feeling the OP is a falsie?
They say...You've to see it to believe it.
Hence, I demand for a Photo or (Preferrably) Video Proof of what you said, Mr. bachus. Or else, apologize for providing false information. :P
bachus mind you own business. If the Compound authorities are ok with then why all the fuss!
s isale, who are "they" and where have you seen half naked women working in an office?
they still see women as trophies. thats all. women can come to work in the office half-naked whereas its a big no-no for men to go to work half-naked.
If it is known that one is staying in a sexually repressed society what would be the motivation to go naked in public places and then also compain about being ogled at ... are these people plain simple idiots or a case of calling for (with an undertone of almost begging for)attention, when there is none.
It is against the Standard Rules displayed at the swimming pool.
I would love to but even then your ignorance would prevail!
Smoke--Sure. List it all (with pictures).
Frenchieman would you like me to list you the various perverted stuff that happens in the West where they are not sexually repressed by middleclass western men?
polkadots--I agree that Western men are aroused by the sight of an attractive topless woman. The difference is that, unlike men living in sexually repressed societies, most middleclass Western men would not take a woman being topless at a public beach or pool as an indication that she wants to have intimate relations with each and every man there.
True Smokey, unlike the above painted western man who it seems cannot get it up even when surrounded by naked women[read the post about topless beaches and how it is o.k. in "their" culture"]I am truly GLAD about the libido of the Asian Man,.....He is a true connoisseur of feminine beauty!
no its regarded as Hairless...:(
Thanks Deedee, for the clarification, so it is O.K to admit that a sane person finds it repulsive to bare all in public,and ogling at such sl**s does not make one any "less Western"!
Is being bald regarded as Topless ?
The compound where i live i only find jobless and hopeless people - but no topless....:(
wot to do yani ?
and we'll keep doing it..In the kitchen, on the floor, in the tub, in the pub, in the car, in the tree, behind the bush, in her dad's bed...err ok i've said too much.
Please don't tell Rizks the location. we don't want him to hurt himself on the barbed wire atop the fence :o(
topless people in public (and old men in speedos) and NO it's not because I'm jealous--why would I be jealous when it's usually chubby middle aged women who are topless? I simply believe the body is beautiful and god given. I respect God and myself way too much to degrade myself by letting every men in sight ogle me. Gross.
This is NOT OK in my compound. I don't think any compound would knowingly allow this. They know the authorities would not look favorably on it. I also have teenage sons and am trying to teach them to respect women. It's hard when some women don't respect themselves.
Bcause the above posters think other "Asian" men dont see enough of naked women in their life as much as the western men do. Let them live with that belief, we'll just keep looking and doing what we do best :D
Location plz ? :(
What I am saying Smokey is why do the posters above not expect a Western Man to be turned on by a naked female prostrate on the lawn enjoying the sun????
I'm sorry Polka what were you saying? I only saw naked beauty of female body....Breasts....Shex!
Correct me if I am wrong but from all the above post I , an Non- Western Lady, makes this naïve assumption that the sight of erotic naked beauty of female body cannot rouse the interest of a Western Man, he needs a 'Time-Place-Dress Code' agenda to wake up?(((((What happened to spontaneous kitchen -table s*x?,Or does he need a script for that as well? Is it only the prerogative of a Non Western straight man to be interested in the beauty of naked female Breasts?.......wet blankets!!!!

I agree with metaphor. These perverts should be rounded up for invading people's privacy.
My colleague's wife caught some Arab men looking into their villa from a roof top (they have teenage daughters). She phoned the police, who confronted the men--turns out they had cameras and binoculars, and the police caught one in the middle of (well umm, shall we say enjoying his own company). Supposedly he was arrested and left the country for fear of deportation.
people who are in the rooftops sighting other villas walls other than UFOs, should be reported instead as burglar.
people who are offended with topless individuals are just merely jealous...

Interesting...
One of our Family Friends Neighbor had 2 Arab Girls living,there used be Guys coming and going late nights, after 2 or 3 days, Police raided their Flat, and all were detained, thrown in the Jail for inappropriate behavior....
if u feel its ubnormal i guess its not even good to look at thnxs
wow, and the villas here , unlike in Europe, are surrounded by walls . But yes,I have seen people on roofs with binoculars....and I don't think they were looking at landmarks..
Don't try this.
Someone I know was reported for indecent behaviour or something like that for being topless in the garden of her own villa. A neighbour on his rooftop caught sight of her and called the police. She was only reprimanded and told to stay behind closed doors in that condition.
Well, if done at a public beach IN THE WEST, fine, as people who do not want to see it can move on, and most people don't care anyway. Doing it at a compound pool in the ME is, IMHO, not appropriate, as there may be people who consider this, for different reasons (for example, adolesnts, small children )inappropriate. One should be considerate. And having a bit of a tan line, well, not a big deal considering one can be in the sun by the pool at lot more than in the West.
Plus, is it really nice to be leeched at?
AHAAA! Now I do! Tsk, tsk...I should have known :D
I did, again! Still don't see it. Sunday stupor :o)
Choco:)
Read carefully;)
I'm surprised that questions like Daywalker's didn't come sooner ;)
(Nice username for Qatar Living, by the way ;) )
I'd agree with the people above that advised against doing it. You realy never know who's coming to the pool.
I read about a taxi driver that called the police because there was a couple necking in his cab! They were deported AND have now been sentenced to jail! Who'd think to be wary of their cabbie?!
I am just wondering.... :-)
Shariah law dictates that when swimming, women's property must remain submerged at all times so as not to attract unwanted male attention. I hope those who violate this law will understand the consequences of breaking the law and respect the others around/their personal feelings.
Have seen this happen again and again - especially in the Gulf..
Compounds have rules , which aren't applied.
People begin to take advantage.
Then someone complains.
Government authorities finally intervene and impement stricter rules.
Then people complain that they are being victimised.
jhonkarl, are you sure, the authorities don't consider this public? I guess not.
IT IS PROHIBITED IN PUBLIC BEACHES BUT A POOL IN A COMPOUND IS NOT CONSIDERED PUBLIC.
I think more delight than problems. Although I have not seen many topless women at compound pool, I've seen plenty in tiny bikinis, and there were plenty of non-Western men that were clearly thrilled to be there.
I think the assumption in many large compounds is that they are Western in spirit if not if not in fact--i.e. the non-Westerners who choose to live there accept that Western social practices prevail (alcohol, small swimsuits, etc. will be visible).
After all, like the 5 star hotel bars that routinely serve locals, these places are businesses and they fill a niche. Nothing will be done by the authorities so long as they confine the practices to the compound.
Its a news to me and I agree with nomerci..
As long as no one complains to the authorities, its fine. You never know there may be someone in the building who could do that, whatever be his/her nationality. Since its against the law, its better to refrain from it. However, I have seen many roof-top swimming pools in Dubai where expat ladies swim topless after the evening falls and it's dark.
I would say, don't do it. Even if one were to live on a 100% western compound (not that i think those exist here), what if a resident has non Western,or even qatari visitors? Could cause problems. Or delight...lol
Each compound has its own rules....
Depends. Probably not so common on weekends at most--more likely on weekday afternoons when just the ladies are around.
you forgot to mention that they are in a prostrate position.
NOT ok at a public beach, but depends on the compound. I heard Education City housing issued a memo asking females not to where bikinis, but I also heard that it is being ignored.
I'd say depends on the compound. It would not be ok on the compound that I live on.
