B, my old friend and client asked me out for drinks with this German guy S. S has lived in Bangkok for the last couple of years and happened to be in town. We talked about all manner of things from gay men trying to pick us up, to gun control and prostitution in Thailand... things like that.

The highlight of the evening came when S suggested we move somewhere else. Of all places we could have gone, we ended up in the seediest part of town, known affectionately to expats as the Four Floors of Whores. We were now sitting in this filthy bar discussing if a particular subject was in fact, male.

They were gorgeous. Let me just say this. If we weren't there and we found one of these walking on the streets, we'd gawk. They had long straight hair, beautiful figures, white skin, small dainty feet and the most engaging smiles. Due to the advancement of medical technology, breasts were augmented to perfection, and nipples show through their designer clothes.

The 4 or 5 REAL girls there were by comparison, hideous. After lengthy discussion, we came to a conclusion. Real girls take for granted what they have, their figures, hair, clothes, the lot. Their hair was shitty (the other variety spend fortunes on their hair), they do not take care of their clothes or shoes.

Perhaps real girls were raised into their asian families to be virtuous and demure and so when they DO venture to this world of bars and clubs, the upbringing comes along with them. "Fake" girls on the other hand, were - boys. They were raised to be raucous and competitive and finally at some point began to feel that they were girls born into male bodies which is what brought them here to begin with. Let me ask a question. If you were born male and realised that working girls made tons more than your average joe, would you go cut off your dick, endure breast implants and the lot to make the dough? I doubt.

This difference in mentalities is what we see. Girls dress down and do not bother to take care of themselves. "Girls" dress like tramps, spend huge amounts of money of their appearances and have loads of fun!

I hadn't been to the four floors in a while, but every time I go I learn something :-)
