Title: Men ordered to leave Saudi Arabia for being ‘too handsome’

Being handsome is normally seen as a positive but for a number of men attending a cultural festival, it was the reason given to them for being thrown out.

Many of us will never be faced with this problem – but for a contingent from the United Arab Emirates being ‘too handsome’ is actually a real concern.

The delegates were reportedly ordered to leave an event in Saudi Arabia and then thrown out of the country because authorities thought their looks may corrupt young women. ...

This is why I was never welcome at family reunions.

I'm always welcomed at my wife's family reunions. Problem is I have to keep fighting off her cousins.

If I had a nickle for every time that happened to me, I'd still be broke.

All the time, people ask me why I've never been to Saudi Arabia.  This is why. :-)
