$30/ of Fichas is extremely rare
[QUOTE=SocratesNY;2556479]I know how many fichas I bought and how long a chica stayed with me. Maybe I chose the right girls, we had good chemistry, she was high / buzzed / drunk, found me appealing, etc. But the last 3 nights, I spent 2-3 hours each night over fichas with a chica, with an arriba in between or at the end of the fichas session. They all averaged 3 to 4 fichas per hour in the club.
The first night...I bought 1 ficha each for the two chicas I took up for arriba (both sucked or were meh) and they were for only 5-10 min before we left for the room.
Therefore to say spending 30-40 bucks per hour for fichas isn't possible is presumptuous. Maybe it is unusual or not the norm. I'll leave it up to the locals and regulars to debate. I am just a fly by tourist from the east coast.
As with anything in life, there are many variables and it's always YMMV.[/QUOTE]After spending the last two years in HK with 200+ chicas of all personality types and varying levels of interest in me, $30 for an hour is is extremely rare, and impossible to achieve with any sort of consistency. The chica and meseros want money and it's a business. On top of that, tips for the girl should flow if she's treating you well. I find on average an hour of fichas and tips with a girl and for the meseros and beers for me run about $80. That's 4.5 drinks for her plus $1 mesero tip ($45) + 3 drinks for me ($12) + $15 tips her if she's worth it. I like to reward light kissing to DFK with tips to incentivize keeping that up.
