I feel uncomfortable kissing someone I am not married to, or a small adorable baby (family related, of course). Missus is uncomfortable too, and steps back and throws up a quick sampech to stop it from happening.

Maybe the hugging is a cultural misunderstanding?

Just trying to understand it from all points of view.

It was a western guy who is used to being a Sex God in girly bars and felt entitled to manhandle me as well.

Maybe he mistook you for a girly bar worker?

If you’re 150 cm or so, black hair, dark skin, name sounds similar to neang, or srey, higher chance of a mistake.

Also super beer googles can turn any foreigner lady into a Khmer KTV girl.

Just supposing, of course. I don’t hang out in girly bars, and I don’t drink beer, either.

Or maybe the western guy just wasn’t a gentleman.
