Nobody Dares to Flirt With My Family Members, but I Can Flirt With Anybody Else's

A friend once told me, quoting his brother "those fools you see around, you call them typical locals ... don’t! They don’t even deserve to be called locals. We are the locals, making our country proud of us.” He was talking about a portion of the retarded members of our community that most of us see around driving clueless on the streets or walking in the malls trying to find a prey to hit on.

Sadly, they are the people that made our streets and malls more troublesome for females to have their privacy. I know, sometimes it’s the girls who start the flirting. Nevertheless, around a year ago I heard the story of a respectful girl who passed away in a horrific car accident due to some idiot trying to flirt by tail tagging their car. The girl was with her best friend going for a breakfast break somewhere close to their University in Sharjah. Her best friend survived and is now handicapped.

I know that many of the guys around got pissed off after Abu Dhabi police threatened to jail anyone seen flirting on the streets or the malls. I didn’t like it in the beginning, but trust me without such law, things would’ve been a mess. It is still a mess to be frank with everyone.

Isn’t it important for us to be assured that malls are a safe environment for our female members of our family to go shop in without being harassed? Even much important are the streets. I believe that with the “nobody dares to flirt with my family members, but I can flirt with anybody else’s” approach our country will stay in the same status.

Am not asking for everyone to stop flirting. I mean all of us got hormones. But for the sake of god, if you see a woman that does not want to be flirted with, leave her be. If you see a woman fully covered in an abaya , what do you find attractive? The fact that she is hard to get? There are many other girls that are willing to be flirted with. You know what some of them are called?
