I didn't say your point of view (in your third post) was totally wrong, tallg, but i couldn't say i agree. What i found also interesting was this, "They seem to want the best of both Worlds; Western trappings with Qatar conservatism. It wont work. They need to decide what they want and stick with it.". I do believe it just might work..as a country. It might not work to the social life of single people, in general..but I do believe in the path that Qatar is going (but in talking literally, they should have better city planning with the "roads" issue..but that's a whole other subject).
As of your question for me-- yes, there is a certain type of clothing associated with nightclubs, but then again you can't assume the clubs and bars in Doha are the ones we all have enjoyed in our respective cities back home, can you? Lastly, regarding your point-- yes and no. yes to what you said except I wouldn't use "attract" but rather, "has".
Which brings me back to my point..Yes bars and nightclubs have a certain style of clothing..but then again the social life in Doha is not you regular one, ergo the DRESS CODE.
Sorry to rub it in yah, mate.
