Three days as a registered user and one year reading this forum as a guest. I didn’t hold my breath to get a straightforward answer to my question and predictably you met my expectations. Cheers.

Then obviously you are aware that if you want to quote someone, you quote the entire post not a minute portion of it, Sport.
As to replying to your question, if a dog shits on the sidewalk and says " step in it ", do you? I' m holding my breath now because I know the answer to that one [Mod edit] Welcome to the forum, from lurking to posting is a big step forward in your social life I am sure.

Cambodia is not Thailand. Many of the girls are not professionals but victims of their families and partners who left them holding the baby. Often several babies.
I always liked the girls in the bars for their simple ways and naivity. Obviously they were not all like this.
Cambodia is a conservative society and sex work is not as accepted as it has been in Thailand for probably 40 years.
I always cringed at the loud Pattaya types in the bars speaking their little fragments of Thai with Cambodians. The morons spend all that time in Thailand but don’t bother to learn to speak the language.

Not an uncommon case in Thailand bars as well.

Well, what can we do about it? We can choose to help them in exchange for some fun or, as some moralizers here, sit on horses so proud of ourselves in shiny armor and pretend not to notice.

help them for some fun, haha, if you see a woman changing her tire at night on a dark road, do you stop and say, just a quick feel and i'll help. I have no horse my friend, it's a unicorn pegasus and I don t exploit people and pat myself on the back for my generosity. I am sure it is not just your exceptional ability to speak Khmer that keeps you from being with a woman you don 't have to pay. I'll trot off now, you probably want to shower before you go out for your "charity for sex" event.

You don’t exploit people, all you can do is talk on the internet forums. You are useless to these girls. A ghost, void of any substance that can make no difference to their lives whatsoever. You will not be remembered by them, you never existed as far as they are concerned.

That is true and there are other situations too:

Some bar girls have khmer husbands and hubbie is happy for her to bring extra $$$ home

'Drink only' girls who don't barfine

Some bar girls are there not by necessity but choice because of the higher $$$ they can make

and then you have bar owners in the mix trying to make a profit where some impose quotas that if a girl doesn't get a certain number of lady drinks and barfines a month, she gets her salary docked.

So when there's talk of people exploiting other people....it's not that black and white as to who are the exploiters imo.

Haha, yes I am void of anything that can make no difference in their lives and you are brimming with the substance that can make no difference to their lives. Yes, I will not be remembered by those I haven t met and I will live with the knowledge my tombstone will not say " known to many cheap Khmer hookers" on it. I am sure that you bring a smile to their faces when you enter a hostess bar and I am positive that there are gales of laughter when the "girls" discuss you after you leave. Now go out and give the girls something to remember haha

Now it sounds like you had limited and unsuccessful experience going to a hostess bar once or twice. The “hooker” word you used gives you out. Often used by men who hate women because, although they covet them, cannot have them, likely for health reasons.

Oh, AW has one. He even went so far as to post a picture of his purported wife in the Darknet subforum dedicated to "Cute Asian & Khmer Women"...whilst the photo was mildly attractive I found the fact that someone would post a photo of their significant other, in that particular forum, to be exceedingly inappropriate and thought him odd to do so.

At the very least he had the good sense to delete the post a short time later.

I hope you strapped your shoes on tight because AW lives for these type of circuitous argumentative tête-à-têtes. They're his bread and butter. He'll grind you into a fine semantic powder. Personally, I wouldn't bother but don't say you weren't warned.
