Hi bro, thanks for your views but i would like to say something in defence.

I would like to believe that your sweeping statement is too harsh to WLs. Sometimes you have to understand the reason for a lot of them to come to SG to work as WLs. As the saying goes, "bu zhi ze wu zui" (the less well-informed is not guilty), i do not blame you for your views.

While i must admit that there is an increasing number of WLs who work because of their vanity or their desire for a lavish and extravagant lifestyle, there are still many who works just to put food on the table back home. I will not go into details of the hardship in Vietnamese economy but picture this: a normal vietnamese man/woman working in the city is now finding it hard to pay for food,house,transport. (basics) Most have barely enough to feed themselves much less their family. Personally, I have seen the price increase in food and basic stuffs in between my occasional visits to Vietnam. I am sure other bros living in Vietnam can enlightened us on the hike in cost of living for they should be in a better position.

I strongly believe that you have to witness poverty personally to understand povety.Better still live in poverty for a few days!! Its always easy to say we understand when we are surrounded by 4 four walls in the comfort of our home furnished with big sofas, sleeping on spring mattresses and using the latest LCD tvs. Its also easy to say they can find other jobs if they want to. Go take a look...jobs yes...enough to feed family? An how does their lack of education due to poverty affects their job seeking prospects and in relation their earnings then? see the picture??

To say once a WL always a WL is like saying once a criminal always a criminal or once a failure, always a failure. Its not quite accurate a statement no?

It really depends on each individual gal who goes into the WL trade. Some saved up their hard-earned money for purposeful businesses or investments and used the WL stint as a stepping stone towards better livelihood. They normally integrate back into the mainstream society with good jobs or businesses and never step back into the shady trade ever again.

On the other hand, there are gals who enter the trade due to their own inability to handle their own lives and their financial ability. Often, they are in the WL rat race and never seem to be able to get out of it no matter how hard or how long they work. Never mind how much money they make for they are always able to find ways to squander their money. I believe this is the group of WL you are talking about.

So all bros, as mentioned many many many times in the forum in many threads, pls do get to know gals you know working as WLs personally to find out what kind of a person they really are, their spending tendencies and their family and friends. For a person's personality and the group of people they hang around with really tells you a lot about how they will behave in the near future.

Doing the first step right will ensure that you do not take many more unecessary steps later....

(Above are my views)
