Qatar : The World's Highest Male/Female Ratio

no wonder polygamy is booming here.. LOL

Everybody is right Everybody is wrong, it depend where we stand.

This is an old news. Now we can see some progress in reducing that ratio.

Skanky's right - it must be much higher than 2:1!

 Actually it's that the disparities weigh out.  Among Qatari Nationals there the ratio is almost 3 women to 1 man, wheras among expatriates, it's something like 5 men to 1 woman, if you don't look at nationalities, it ends up being about 2 women for 1 man.

I guess young people drag it down as well - it's probably nearly 1:1 for under 18s.

you can just observe how a man's eyes feast each time a woman passes by...

These stats on wikipedia come from what would be considered reliable sources. I agree that it would have been better for the OP to quote these sources instead of wikipedia though!

But i'm nice, not sure about the attractive bit tho'

If the statistics are true you shouldn't have trouble finding a nice and handsome man. Maybe your filter is too stringent. Or maybe you are looking at someone handsome and expecting him to be nice or vice versa.

Qatar is more like a transit lounge. Look for your perfect man where you probably want to settle down.

You're probably right that the majority of single men here are labourers, but there's still quite a lot single, educated, high earning guys here. I'd say the majority of men directly employed by my wife's company are single. Unfortenately they all live on site, but most of them come down to Doha on Thursday nights!

Well if yo're going to be fussy about it....:-)

Haa I guess qatarisation ratio of 20% will solve hmm ya allah

I am another nice educated expatriate. Can that be enough? :)))

There is a huge market for female workforce over here, the only obstacle is the ministry does not provide Visa, or Quota's for single working females as they do for men...There are certain Taboo's over single females coming to work,

...it seems related to the oldest job in the world, understanding that Qatar wants a vice- free country,

 I say when there is no vice in women...there is vice in men!! therefor unsurprisingly you will see lots of vicious men having weird behaviour...acting like they have never seen a chick in their life..

Ohyamal, non privileged includes arabs  (except GCC) and lebaneese, Asia, africa and East europe, female workers are having tougher times getting a working visas. Mostly their having spouse or family sponsorship.

 where is the data please.

with the influx of workers recently how has the ratio come down?

and Koreans are welcome

I believe these numbers do not take expatriates into account. The ratio is way worse than that in Qatar.

OhYahMal, yes, the ministry fears other Arabs. They have the language skills to get involved in local life, and unlike the "Western" expatriates they tend to make a long-term life here and agitate for further rights. You've seen similar in Kuwait where the government has been using any excuse to get rid of the "Palestinians", Syrians and Egyptians and replace them with South Asians. They don't want the South Asians really, the work is done much better and more efficiently by the Arabs, primarily because of language skills, but they also agitate for greater rights, which the locals don't want.
