Women forced to look for love in the country

I'm thinking of bussing Rizks and his buddies to Al-Khor ..

As per the article - Are "country Men" more gentlemanly ??

______________________________________

In the latest example of how difficult it has become for women in their late twenties and early thirties to find an eligible man in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, a dating agency has started sending busloads of single women out to country towns, where the ratio of men to women is far more favourable.

The weekend tours, named Thank Goodness He's A Country Boy, involve eight hours of intensive speed dating at a country pub, where lonely farmers are introduced to single city girls.

"These women obviously needed help, it was simply a matter of putting the two groups in the same place," the organiser said.

The first tour, which took 50 Sydney women to the rural town of Tamworth was a success, with an "85 per cent pick up rate", she said. More trips for the single women of Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth are on the cards.

For 29-year-old Sydney woman Bianca Wignall, it is a matter of quality, as well as quantity.

"Country men are more gentlemanly, they hold the door open for you and if they see you with an empty glass they will be the first to offer to get you a drink, they are more attentive."

In Qatar there are far more single men than women. It is therefore advised that women should have more than one husband. - The times they are a-changing.

In most Arab countries the ratio of women is twice that of men hence the huge number of single women around and hence the tradition of marrying more than one wife at a time.. More to create a balance in the society. In fact, India is the only country in the world where the ratio of men is more than that of women because of widely practiced female infanticide... That is aborting the female foetus in the womb.. Girls are generally considered a burden in India as they have to pay heavy dowries at the time of their marriage and boys are considered as the bread winners of the family and old age support for parents, hence the preference to have male than female..

.....85%of 'pick-up' rate?Pick-up?????and let go when?, after the hour?,.....if one goes by stats of pick-up rates then surely there would be certain streets in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane,which would give a better tally.

This is really funny.. It is like taking Karachi girls to small towns like Multan, Sialkot, Gujranwala, Sahiwal, Abbotabad, Muree etc.. This would never work back home..
