Banned in Riyadh, are babies next?
This comes from the You Can't Make This Stuff Up Department.
Seems they're banning the sales of cats and dogs, and the walking of canines, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia's capital, because men use the animals as a means of breaking the ice with women. In other words, they use the pets as props to flirt with members of the opposite sex.
It's been long understood that walking a cute dog on a public street attracts members of the opposite sex. Which then leads to, horrid, conversation. Which leads to - Allah knows what else!
But here's something the authorities in Riyadh may have overlooked. The same thing goes for walking babies.
That's right. As any single straight guy knows, if any of his buddies have recent offspring, the thing to do is borrow the baby and stroller to give Mom and Dad a break. Then when women come up to ooh and ah the baby, you tell them very quickly, "oh this isn't my baby, it's my buddy's, I'm just giving Mom and Dad a break. Besides, I just love children."
If there's anything a woman loves in a man more than his compassion for a puppy it's his love of children. Especially a young, single woman whose biological clock is, "tick, tick, ticking."
So if the authorities in Saudi Arabia really want to end this horrid flirtation practice, maybe they should ban babies as well!

Interesting. They're banning cats and dogs because men are using them to "get to chicks." But yet Saudi Arabia has, within its body of family law, NO RESTRICTIONS on men holding the kids captive so that their wife won't leave. It's part of shariah law in Saudi Arabia. Once a child turns a certain age, the child becomes the immediate property of DAD and mom has no recourse in the law should he decide to maintain total custody.
Hmm, I wonder if the type of dog they walked denotes what type of person they are???? lol
That leads me to speculate, what sort of dog would a woman go for? A man walking a butch dog might prove a bit overwhelming for some women, whereas a snappy little dog might be off-putting! I think I'll have to conduct a survey!!
BTW Gary, your comments about men with babies is very insiteful!! Sounds like the voice of experience lol
I also wonder if the Saudi Government can think of any more ways to take the joy out of their population's lives!
I would like to know what breed of dog I should buy to in order to score with a nice Saudi woman on Paltalk. :)
