Being a “single” woman in Phnom Penh

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

You take the red pill and become mod for a day and the true experience of what living in the preview dimension feels like.

Or you take the blue pill and you are placed on mod preview unknowingly of what saggy goo you are part of.

Yeah, there's no problem with you bringing your missus there. :clap:

I'm really surprised by a number of the replies on this thread. Bit of an eye opener, and more than a little depressing.

I think NK really wanted to know if his gay friends were welcome, while most other people would really be interested in finding out if they can bring their dog.

I guess I do stand out in a crowd- I’m white, tallish, redhead with big boobs and I’m friendly.

This means that I have a lot of conversations with a LOT of people - most of them are lovely but that’s not what this thread is about.
I think that may be what the thread is about. You are a friendly, welcoming and outgoing regular at some bars and therefore socially awkward guys feel comfortable saying something to you, or pretending to slap your shoulder, or something like that. They wouldn't do that if a stuck up bitch like Lilith from the TV show Cheers was sitting at the bar reading a book.

When you respond to their attempts to be social by giving them a death stare or telling them them to butt out of your conversation, they are embarrassed and offended and respond poorly.

Here's a parallel. I don't really know Brett Sciaroni at all, but I know him to be a regular barfly who acts loud and chatty in bars. If I were sitting next to him at Larry's, and I saw/heard him carrying on and holding court with the girls and making goo goo sounds in Khmer or whatever that shit is he does, I might feel emboldened to actually speak to another human and try to say something friendly about whatever he and the girls are chatting about. And if Brett then just stared at me or said "mind your fucking business" then that would be surprising and I'd be hurt and embarrassed and might say something rude back.

Whereas if someone like Felgerkarb was sitting all night at a bar silently brooding over his drinks and looking intimidating, no one would ever try to talk to him and thus these awkward incidents don't happen with him.

You're giving off a friendly, approachable, outgoing vibe and then when guys try to say something friendly to you, you bluntly tell them to fuck off. And then the guy flies into a rage because he gets PTSD flashbacks to Saturday night on Street 130 when he propositioned a Street 130 hooker and she laughed and told him "Yes, I'm a hooker, but I'm not having sex with YOU."

Plausible, but does it apply in this case?

It would be the same attitude as 'I can wear whatever I like' while dressed provocatively
But then screaming 'sexual harassment' when you get passes from unattractive strangers

Or a standup comic who calls security when heckled
Et Cetera
