I think it difficult to know job prospect from 'someone like that' from just a picture. One thing for sure, no doubt she need money.. :hattip:

Which are the other threads?

She was well dressed in March in PP Begging.
Then in May in Kampot with a decent looking moto
Now looking the goods in PP again.
Looks like charitable people are funding here holiday lifestyle.
She looks to be a scam to me, but hey if I am wrong, I would be happy to give her a couple of bucks.

why is a western woman in distress entitled to more attention than a local woman in distress again? Explorer, what is the nature of your own projections ? I know many women from a variety of places who would not talk with another woman in this distressed woman and fear would not be the limiting factor.

Could be because she is attractive and vulnerable, and that brings out the semi subconscious protector/ predator mentality in some men which would not happen if the person was Male or unattractive. Just a theory.

You keep making ridiculous assumptions. Don't assume I am like you.

I actually spend a lot more time with Cambodian girls, than with Westerners. There are a lot more Cambodian girls here.

Why do you say she is in distress? She is probably happy.

All I have suggested is talking to her. I don't plan anything else, until I find out about her situation, and see what she wants.

A better question is: Why aren't others concerned about people having a difficult time? One day it might be you.

A lot of my Cambodian friends are much more attractive.

Explorer, I have only replied to this thread once so for you to say "I keep making poor assumptions.. .( paraphrasing)" is more of the odd outta you. Good luck, here in PP in this strange time of Covert 19 people are struggling everywhere you look and everyone I know here has new problems. I cannot spend time wondering about someone I don't know. I feel like I am pretty fit emotionally and don't need a new project as my plate is full with human drama everyday now.

I am happy to hear you have time and energy to worry about this person.
