I suggest that you visit a strip club in Dallas or Houston if you think the phenomenon is specific to Asia. You may need to put on a tie, though, which you probably do not own. I also recommend googling something like, oh Backpage+Indianapolis+Escorts and see what you find.
First of all, when did I say that because something happens in the US it is good? Second of all, it is usually a different situation in the US. The women in the US are far more likely to be there by choice, generally have better opportunitties, and have better legal protection. I am not saying it is right, but what you partook in was even worse.
You are apparently unaware that men, for a few thousand years, have a tendency to be attracted to young women. And that some men, at some point, decide that the drama of relationships is a little too much and perhaps they would just rather, you know, pay for sex. And that there are plenty of women, to include your neighbors and relatives and the girl at the barista, who will gladly exchange money for a few hours of such activity.
I am sure you do sleep with you relatives in Oklahoma, but that doesn't happen where I come from. Also, again, you know it is BS. There is a very good chance that those women you were paying are being pressured into what they do by male family members (and would not do it otherwise), and may not even be getting a cut of the money. You really have no idea. Also, by bringing your money in and paying these girls, more people will see that there is money in it, and even if you are not sleeping with women who are being coerced into the industry, when others see the money that is to be made from foriegn whores, they will start coercing women into prostitution.
You are obviously unaware of the huge, educated middle class in the PI that is making them the go-to country for outsourcing for IT, customer service and manufacturing, and you seem to think that the only way for a woman to make money in the PI is to sell herself. Call a credit card hotline or a big bank hotline, and you will likley be talking to someone from the Philippines, assuming you have a credit card.
No, I am not unaware that there is a middle-class in the Phillipines, but you are also aware that they are a minority, and people with those opportunities are not working as prostitutes! You mentioned several times in your post about the squalor the women were living in. Say whatever you want, but the women you are taking advantage of are not well-to-do.
You are obviously unaware that their problems stem not from a poor economy, but from a lack of space to expand, which results in even middle class families living in what we would consider rough conditions.
So you would describe the economy as good?
You are obviously unaware that another major issue facing them is overpopulation, which stems from both Catholicism (no birth control) and their open sexuality.
What makes you assume I am not aware of this? Also, how does you knocking up women help with that?
You are obviuously unaware that they have a virtually unregulated firearms ownership system, which lends greatly to the crime rates in the country, and gives them 3rd world crime rates when in fact they are not third world.
Yes, an overcrowded, crime ridden country...sounds like a dream! There is wealth in the PI, but it is concentrated in a fairly small amount of the population. 26.5% of the population lives in poverty (by their standards). Someone in the PI working minimum wage (about half of their workforce) makes about $1,920 a year. Yeah, they have a high GDP and businesses do well, but you know as well as I do that the average person does very poorly.http://www.nscb.gov.ph/secstat/d_income.asp
You apparently do not realize that Filipinos are not xenophobes, like you, and typically judge a race or nationality based on their merits and experience with said nationaility, and they have a tendency to really like Americans, British and Australians, even when we behave like asses, for reasons that go back a few generations but you probably do not know because you are too busy wrestling with your brothers.
1. What does that have to do with anything? 2. When did I say they were xenophobes? 3. Yes, I am aware that we have good relations with them.
Believe me, dude, if the ugly sex tourists didn't visit the PI, the women in the PI would still be doing what they are doing now, they would just make a lot less money doing it. There are "local rates" and "foreigner rates" just like anywhere else.
If a woman in the PI is making peanuts doing that, her handler does not stand to make a big profit off of her, and his incentive and her's for working in that industry is lessened. She is more likely then to look for better opportunities. They funny way that that works is that when you look for a better opportunity you are more likely to find it then when you do not. If a woman hooking can make a relatively lot of money from foreigners, pimps will be much more likely to coerce them into the industry. It is not that there are no opportunities, it is just that they will never look for them when someone else makes more money off forcing them into bedding foreigners.
Me not visiting the PI will affect what is happening there about as much as you will affect Wal Mart by not shopping there.
If you don't buy, there is no market. If you are not going to do something about the problem, you at least don't have to make it worse.
You seem to think I came here to brag, or be viewed as a hero. This is not the case. I am sharing a story and photos, oh bearer-of-womens-rights that you are. I went to an emerging economy, and I had sex with a lot of women and paid them for it, just like I do with women in the United States; I established some business networks, and I did some nice things for people. That is the story.
Oh no, you are not bragging. And you are right, I don't give a rat's ass about women's rights. I care about human rights, whether they are female or not.
Save your outrage for the countries who import Filipino labor, take their phones, take their visas and treat them like slaves. I didn't make this world, I just live in it, and I am having a lot of goddamned fun
You didn't create the suffering, but you will get pleasure from exploiting it. Makes an aweful lot of sense to me. Sorry dude, but any respect I still had for you evaporated after this thread. I'll save saying what I think about you, as it would probably get me banned if I posted it here.
** You apparently missed the parts where I gave women money and did not sleep with them. On many occasions in fact. But of course not 100% of the time, because some of them are such effective sales ladies, and by god I am creating jobs
As I said, you are a hero!
