[QUOTE=Boarer;1450480]IMHO, if you are young, LQF would be a better place to drop your money but you might have to dress up a little. Walk around and you will see some clubs with queues (and cover). Some have quite a lot of young hot girls. I feel ancient in those crowds. I stumbled onto a packed place where I was the only person over 25. If you hook up with a local crowd, they might direct you to other scenes.[/QUOTE]Well, Friday night, I decided to start there! But my god it's a zoo. At any rate, I lost my nerve trying to talk to a girl, then was blown off by her friend. Back to Wan Chai by 130am.
Was keen on meeting an Indo girl, so NM first up. No problems getting in today. Place is going off! But again, not getting a great deal of interest, stop / start Convo with one lass then I head to Amazonia for a quick look, then to Escape. After circling around I tell myself to give Amazonia a proper look, and if there's no one there to give Escape a better run through.
Start talking to Mai from Vietnam outside, still not a great deal said so off I go to Escape. I begin chatting with another Thai girl who's eye I had caught earlier. She says I should get a drink, but in the time it takes me to procure said beverage, she begins talking to another gentleman, all this whilst I'm standing beside her! Now I know it's a sellers market but I found that not to be particularly appealing. Blah, I wander off, and finding no one else who's interest I venture back to NM.
A little bit less packed, as I'm moving back and forth between the two bar areas, I turn my head and a cute Indo girl is looking back at me so I stop. She's not dressed I the standard "let me show you a good time" way either. Melly from Jakarta, works in a restaurant up in the New Territories somewhere.
Her story is also different from the "single mother supporting child", it actually said a lot about her independence and was quite admirable. She did ask me if I thought she had done the right thing. No 1, who am I to judge but also as I said, quite admirable (from the Western independence is paramount viewpoint vs the Asian don't let us lose face viewpoint).
Anyway, she asks if I want to go back to the hotel, and so we return. Activities not the most exciting of the trip, but as has been established, she's not fully pro.
Donate $500 in the morning to which she enquires "Taxi money?" I ask if she wanted more but she it was ok.
She checks out and catches the MTR with me before we bid our farewells with a kiss at Admiralty.
Thoughts.
1) I feel like I didn't give her enough. Open to criticism (though I wasn't trying to be a cheap bastard). On the other hand if I had stumped up $1500 straight up some other members would've no doubt accuse me of spoiling the market. No mention of cost was discussed prior to leaving.
2) two events had happened to her that night. In 7-11, she told me some guy started talking to her, subsequently his girlfriend grabbed her by the hair, with Melly then attempting to backhand her before the guy apologised and they went off.
Secondly, in NM, whilst I was talking to her, another random guy came up and grabbed her from behind. When she shrieked and said "do I know you", his reply was a sleazy "I would like to."
I think my point is that some guys are going to be dickheads no matter the situation. And those who may normally be quite pig-headed in their behaviour towards women is only going to be amplified in somewhere like Wan Chai. My feeling is red-light districts the world over deal with the problem of less than intelligent males treating the girls like trash. Say what you will about the morals of it all, but at the end of the day, these are all still people. No reason to treat them like dirt just because of the circumstance you find yourself in.
I feel that talking plays a great deal in how good your activities will be later. Guess for guys this doesn't matter so much, but if you can't get beyond the "where you from, how long in HK" stuff you're setting yourself up for trouble.
Also, seemingly plenty of girls (especially in places like Escape) still milling around unattached quite late. Now in essentially a fully pro bar I wouldn't have thought that the girls are just there "for a good time" with their friends. In saying that though, if you talk to these girls they tend to be the ones you can't get beyond the standard questions with, which might be them brushing you off, but also explains why try haven't been successful. Their personalities are not particularly attractive, in sharp contrast to their looks.
Anyway, open to comments, suggestions, what I could've done better, worse etc. If I could just push myself a bit more, LKF may also pay dividends.
Lastly, very tempted to visit again in a few months when I have leave, don't know who I can justify it to though. Thanks for reading guys, no it's a lot of waffle.
