Does anyone else find it charming that young people of the opposite sex court each other in conservative Middle East regions, like Kuwait, by using Bluetooth? Unable to physically interact in social settings because of religious custom, men and women might find themselves flirting thanks to a technology originally developed so the stars of People Of Walmart have some accessories to wear.
“The power of Blue Tooth technology has changed the face of dating in Kuwait,” writes Sumayyah Meehan in Elan. “Overly charged Romeos send out random ‘I love you’ messages via Blue Tooth and sit back to see if they can hook anyone female. As lame as it is, Blue Tooth communiques often work out pretty well for the male paramours, much to the chagrin of reputable females everywhere.”
Suffice to say, it’s likely this technology is also used by gay men and women, though they have it a smidge easier, since they can hang out and hold hands in public without anybody thinking twice. And you thought Grindr was the greatest thing since sliced gluten-free bread.

I’m mixed Middle Eastern and I grew up in Kuwait, that amounts to roughly 19 years. I must admit that it’s true how much the Kuwaiti public (citizens as well as residents) have taken advantage of bluetooth technology in order to meet/date. However, that claim the article makes regarding Kuwaiti straights having it a smidge easier because of straight PDA being tolerated is quite faulty. Heterosexuals often hold each others hands in public in Kuwait (and most of the Arabian Peninsula) only if they are married or engaged. It’s extremely taboo to be in public with a male or female who is not your legal spouse. That certainly doesn’t stop the new generation of bluetooth dating Kuwaitis to meet up in public. However, it’s likely that such encounters are covert and PDA free.

Rashid: Either they edited poorly and changed it since your post (suprise!) or you read it wrong. I think they were trying to say that it’s easier for people of the SAME sex to hold hands in public in Kuwait than it is for opposite-sex pairs.
