Most of the bars would have shut by now
[QUOTE=EngineDriver;2356452]Purchasing power parity (PPP) or the Big Mac Index doesn't apply to mongering in AC. The minute you start questioning the cost of a root against the daily wage, you know you should have stayed in Pittsburgh. In the Philippines, there is separate pricing; one for locals and one for foreigners. The average Filipino man only pays 300 peso for a root, not 3,000 peso. He doesn't apply the point and shoot method like foreign mongers do at Atlantis. I'm sure in tiny provincial towns, he could get a root for 100 pesos. So your PPP test should apply to what locals pay. I would think that 100 pesos for a root compared to the 8,000 pesos for the average monthly salary seems about right. Your comparison also doesn't take into account the predatory and disruptive behavior of the young Korean master mongers. We can learn a lot from them, like queuing outside Viking bar at 9.30 in the morning or pre-booking 20 hot chicks in advance. It's all about supply and demand. Without the Koreans, prices would be cheaper, but without the Koreans, most of the bars would have shut by now.[/QUOTE]Maybe there would be a few less, maybe not. There were many Anglos pre-1991, yes the base closed, but I posit.
The demand is there, given the opportunity, I feel if there was a level playing field for Anglos, sans the unfair trade practices ala President Xi.
I don't know of a great mongering locale for Anglos in Asia, do you? I don't know of a great mongering locale for primarily Anglos anywhere.
Why is that? I feel Asians dominate mongering the same way many dominate global manufacturing (low quality low ball prices).
With mongering they "flip it" low / zero expectations high prices).
Angeles is clearly a Korean locale, a small country of 50 m, where can a western monger go (there are way more mongers from western countries with populations of over 50 m) and have the advantages Koreans have here, or that Asians have in Bangkok.
I think Asians cheat, High-balling everyone near them (not much different than currency manipulation like China) that's using the nuclear option in a negotiation.
Well I see that do don't feel they compete head to head with anyone, so they go to the nuclear option, every time, Just pay more, when? Every single session in every single country.
Every single time (and give a massive tip). Voila' you have just pulled off a magic trick.

Knowingly overspending because one can or to be seen as the "big dick" in town attracts a easy mark label real quick. Rather than appreciating the extra cash, others soon line up to extract as much as possible from the gullible whale ASAP.
Discrimination and prejudice
[QUOTE=MasterMonger;2356531]If you want to accept foreigners should pay 10 times more than a local guy than I think any country who overcharges foreigners for anything should be charged the same in our respective countries. I will be sure to let P4P girl in Canada and the US to charge men from the Philippines 10 times more or on average about $4,000 for a root.
Justifying why the world can treat people from other countries badly and charge more money for anything is far from solving the problems of discrimination and prejudice.
If the money is the same and the service they have to exert is the same then why all the discrimination!
Let's not talk about why it is bad let's show them by leaving. South Korea and China are on a downturn their Golden age is coming to an end. The Chinese government is in such massive debt at the moment one little problem and their whole system is going to come crashing down.
Also where the girls are 100 pesos they probably only make 100 pesos a day even though that is below minimum wage some people are willing to do it in the rural areas. The girl is also willing.
Be strong, be vigilant, and fight for equality! Equal pay for Equal service!

Its about more than money (its much worse), you can go in almost any bar, be a good looking white guy.
Pick out a girl and she will say no, they are being told by the Korean owners and / or other girls.
Don't go with the white guys, the Korean customers will feel inferior and not come back.
You can go to many bars and have this happen over and over, I can tell you the odds of this happening.
If you pick a pretty girl are about 95%, you can pick the bottom rungs, that nobody wants, that's OK.
