I popped in to a hostess bar last night on a whim....

I had a couple of beers, bought a couple of ladies a drink to be polite but it just reaffirmed why I don’t go to bars to be quite honest. There was the usual mix of long time bar-girl, over the hill bargirl and a couple of fresh recruits looking a bit lost. As we chatted I could almost predict the answers to the subjects of family, relationship status and general day-to-day stuff. One lady had a beautiful fair hair little girl of 6 or 7, the father disappeared long ago. The others had children from failed Khmer marriages.

Maybe I am over sensitive to the situations of others but I just find them depressing when I recollect the previous evening events over my morning coffee.

It's a sick, sad world.

I gave up on girl bars over 12 years ago, (only go in a few here in Kamala cause they have some good food but never speak with the girls other than to give my order and say thanks), same ole questions from girls that dont give a shit about the answers, but only want appear to be interested so you will buy them a drink
a waste in my eyes

Be aware a lot of bar girls will tell you some sob story to take advantage of your sympathy, many see kindness as weakness.
