$50 - $100 for bar girls. What am I missing?

This is the part of the forum where we discuss Cambodia's nightlife! While most bars, nightclubs, pubs, beer gardens, and hostess bars are in Phnom Penh, we discuss the Cambodian nightlife across all of Cambodia, including Siem Reap, Kampot, and Sihanoukville. The main nightlife areas in Phnom Penh are on Street 136, Street 130, Street 110 and Street 51, but there are other party spots that aren't girlie bars where expats, tourists, and locals drink until the sun comes up. Feel free to post specials and promotions that relate to nighttime fun!

I wasn't sure what to do but she returned about 10 minutes later. I left almost immediately.

I'm convinced that she was setting me up for a bust and a big pay day.
Grim story. You made the smart choice. Thanks for sharing.

What's the deal with the girl scene here? I walked around some of the bars and no one would budge below $50 for ST.

Before anyone says I'm an old slob that deserves a premium, I'm traveling around and was in Thailand before, where in Pattaya I'd pay what ends up being $26 - $30 for a freelancer, and $26 with a $6ish bar fine at the clubs.

Am I just spoilt by Pattaya? I wasn't approaching any gogo level talent, nor frankly saw it at all.

I'm all for the girls getting the best deal they can, but it just seemed like they were all sitting around waiting for the seemingly non existent customer to arrive.

What am I missing here? Are they not willing to put in the "work" as much as the Thai? Do they not need the money as much?

After reading that you could get ST for $30 I was ready to take a girl home every night of my stay, give the $10 to the bar and another $10 in drinks for myself and the girl, and probably have her back in an hour to sit around and do nothing for the rest of the night.
"What am I missing here?" A sense of reality and any form of pride. Apart from that, not much.
What are you even talking about...

First of all, pride is just about the worst character trait to have as a human being, and the fact you are bringing it up as a way to what, shame someone to pay more money for a good or service, shows that you are either virtue signalling on here and don't follow your own philosophy, or are constantly manipulated and taken advantage of by others. Not how I want to live, but god speed to you I guess.

As for reality, I still argue that it's the girls in PP that are unrealistic, and the people running the bars have no idea of their competition, or even customers.

By the way, what made me come back is a recent YT clip by a fairly popular punter that shares the same sentiment:

I encourage everyone to check it out.

If there is only half the customers, you just double the price. Looking at some of the customers even 200 is not enough.
