Get a wife or a fast car?

Ant01
By Ant01

A sociologist lamented that eligible bachelors in Qatar often did not want to get married because they could not afford the expense. But the contradiction is that they did not mind taking a bank loan to buy an expensive, flashy car. This is not good for society, according to the expert, since the number of single women in Qatar is increasing. What are the views of the learned members of Qatar Living on the subject?

A Qatari man marries more than one woman. How can single women be a problem here? Probably, that's why younger men of lower status find it easier to buy a car than to marry. No harm. They can always marry when they become richer.

Khattak said "... Getting married is quite an expensive affair here. Getting a house, giving a couple of hundred of thousand to the bride, gold and then the Walima expenses make it difficult to get married."

And most men will not recognize the low maintenance one ... why? cos they are stewpide.

The single ones who think like this are extinct.

drmana said sandman, they can show their car to their friend and feel proud of their possession but can't do the same for their wife....that must be the logic here."

Agreed. Control thing and ego problem. Allergic reaction - will plant in less than a week, maybe even a day.

as a man you only need to find a woman who supports the fast and expensive car :)

Reminds me of the joke of the Bishop and the Rabbi. Each was trying to outdo the other. The Bishop began by pouring holy water on his car. The Rabbi followed suit by cutting the exhaust pipe.

Have you seen a car with a black cover on it?

Yes, it sounds true. A car will do what you wnat it to do. Maybe its a control thing?

If men are not getting married, then is it only the number of unmarried females increasing or both unmarried males and females??? Increasing number of Qatari male bachelors doesn't seem to be a problem for him.......He is only concerned about single females here

Oh ok, that explains it.

I can mention quite a few reasons for it, nothing to do with a car.

WK...the expert meant 'Qatari Women'.

Getting married is quite an expensive affair here. Getting a house, giving a couple of hundred of thousand to the bride, gold and then the Walima expenses make it difficult to get married.

Ahhh...I forgot to mention that I've just heard these from others. :-)
