Beware of "The King"

"The King" is a Marab, in our experience usually a Saudi, who walks around calling himself "The King." This guy, and we've met more than a few of them, is trouble -WALK AWAY!! He is generally in one of two categories:

The Black Sheep
This guy is the black sheep of an affluent, semi-influential family with wasta in Saudi. However, he is a fuck-up, sent to America to "study" (in other words, enjoy all fruits forbidden in Saudi, far enough from home to prevent bringing shame and scandal upon his family). This guy probably took an extra two or three years to finish high school because he is basically an idiot; therefore, he will be in his mid-twenties when he arrives on our shores. He will partake in all that America has to offer, and probably flunk out of school in his first year, loosing his scholarship (which was granted him due to his father's wasta, rather than actual academic merit). His family, not wanting him to return to Saudi as yet an even bigger failure, will then pay out-of-pocket for him to stay in America.

The Wasta-less
This guy is from a  family with little wasta.  He probably has an uncle who works in the office of the Cultural Mission, and got his scholarship through second-hand connections. He comes to America to bank on the American stereotype of Saudis as rich royalty. Here he can be what he is not in Saudi. He also will partake in all that America has to offer, but with a little more restraint than the the Black Sheep because if he loses his scholarship, he has no family money to keep him here.

Neither the Black Sheep nor the Wasta-less have any actual relation to the Royal Family, and would never pretend otherwise in his own country. The fact that "King" is his title of choice shows a total lack of ingenuity on his part. This guy is the prototype for bad stereotypes of Saudis. He calls his conquests his "princesses" or his "queens." While not being intellectually gifted, he is a master manipulator, with an ego the size of Saudi's oil reserves, and he will use you to feed this ego. He will buy you drinks at the bar, treat you like a princess, and then pressure you into having sex with him. "NO" is not a word he understands. When he's done with you, he will trash you to everyone who knows you, scandalize you out of his circle of friends, and probably yours, and move on to the next girl.

Rule of Thumb: Just avoid any Marab with an ego big enough to refer to himself as "King"!!!!
