Where do the non working girls go?

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!

Not strange at all imo. I've come across quite a few original, no go customer girls in the bars that have clearly said to me they are interested in the right guy ie must be serious barang who wants marriage and children.

Make friends in Cambodia that have Khmer wives/girlfriends with regular employment. Worked for me.

One that I dislike is the dating in workplace, just I have seen that it is relatively common for Khmer-Khmer relationships. Who wants to see their wife all day at work and again at home? That's where the chambers of commerce come in, to meet professionals outside of your own workplace.

If you were Catholic, go meet at church events.

It strikes me as a strange euphemism. Non-working girls? I know it is supposed to mean women who are not prostitutes - but it also implies that they don't work. I don't know any people like that. Some people need to expand on their horizons.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

In Cambodia, reputation is important. Whatever you do, people will talk about you. If you are good, they will like you. If you do something they don't like, they will tell all their friends, and all of their friends wont want anything to do with you.

Difficult ask.
Wanted; 1 x non-working good girl with a job who hasn't been around the block because she is a decent girl but goes to bars to meet a guy who does go around the block until he gets sick of it.

Not many of those around.
You could lie about the last bit i suppose - but that probably wouldn't work, good girls usually have very finely tuned integrity detectors.

Hmmm... Maybe settle for someone just like yourself, that would be easier..

Decent Cambodian women don't go out to bars to get chatted up by white guys.
angkorjohn2 wrote: Fri Dec 13, 2019 11:52 am although bedazzler does have a point Depends on your definition of "decent" there are thousands of nice khmers ladies who are very conservative who literally just go to cinemas, the various malls and khmer restaurants and BBQ places and tend not to drink and would run a mile from a foreigner unless you spoke khmer and were in it for the long game.

Then there is an element who have money (their own or family) and enjoy western influences who would tend to go to classier places - e.g. the bars around Bassac Lane, Hub Street Cocktaills, Cloud, Eden Mall (Ostra oyster bar and others), Oskar (although you also get a mix of grey girls there), higher end bars, battbong bar, various sky bars - Veeha and Eclipse seems popular, certain Khmer clubs - Vito, Domrey lounge, EPIC, bars in Russian Market especially sundown social club, probably the new duplex at chinese house as well.

The question is, are you a decent man? what do you offer? many of the ladies who you might qualify as decent would have no interest in your average western guy unless they were serious about being here long term, with a good stable job and ready to offer some form as well as not being a complete party animal. The fact that you've "done the girl bar scene" suggests you are hardly the catch that any of these decent ladies would be interested in.

If you mean a non-prostitute then go to any bar apart from those in the red light district
great posts,
ill also add that your decent Khmer girls will more likely go to a Family KTV with their friends if they was to go out and drink, or to the beer garden restaurant places, i often go with my Khmer friends, was at a nice place on Koh Pich the other day with a lady friend and her best friend,
but i find Khmers like going out to socialise with friends, not off out on the pull, and would probably be embarrassed if you tried doing so, unless youre a cute guy of similar age and can speak some Khmer lol
and as multipox mentioned, most decent girls will usually have to be home at a reasonable time (8/9pm)

with you being here only a couple of weeks, it seems you still have quite a bit to learn about Cambodian culture, there are some great decent grey girls about, but the vast majority of decent ones ive met have been girls ive met through khmer friends, not ones ive pulled in a bar or club, the ones ive met there arent much better than bargirls tbh, fine if you just want a jump, but sometimes not worth the hassle
Will you, being a man of culture, enlighten me as to what a 'grey girl' is in Khmer context, please? :plus1:

@ Explorer: Yep – here for work, Good point about the loss of face (understandable)
@ Spigzy: Not looking for teeny stunner mate, 30s to 40s (divorced & Kids ok) virginity not required. Noted: I probably should have worded things a bit better, meant no disrespect to anyone no matter the profession. Good point Re Auscham, Am a member in south china.
(in defence of the ladies) am well-travelled mate, noted.
@ Jamie: Agree, great posts. Have been asked to go to KTVs but the ones I see daily out on the #4 main road look pretty shitty. If there are more family orientated place in the city ill I have to go check em out. Yeah mate, I do have a bit to learn and not just about the locals hahah. Have just done 10 years in china so things are not that different here I suppose. Hmmm Grey girls, please explain.
@ Sternaalbifrons: Haha yeah mate lesson learnt, posted out of frustration lol. Ok ok so maybe I am not the catch of the day but hey.

A gray girl is someone who is not your classic bar girl but will hang out at higher end estblishments and date a western man in return for extracting a sizeable portion of his pay check. Oskar bar on riverside os a fine place to observe such ladies in the wild.

To quote Mr Lambo from another place

"a grey girl is a girl that is not a white cloth anymore, usually used to describe sexually active girls who arent married

for me its just personal preference, i often find girls that have had Barang BF's before irritating, often picking up habits/traits from their Barang ex"
