Apologies. it's long.
My Reply probably deserve more explanations.
If you have read all my posts, you can assume I was in finance: correct.,
Maybe a retired senior investment banker . Ask my lawyers.
So because of work, my wife was used to very late hours (conf call with Ldn or NY).
She was in "investment banking" too.
Many times I was "dragged" by "kids", Associates or Directors to LKF i.e. Dargon-i!
Seriously at my age(~50s) ...relative to them
In several cases, I got them...all young handsome males IN on a friday at midnght (model time).
Embarassing for them that an old dinosaur like me (not a known punter or socialite) was getting them in!...while they were said "NO"
If I see a girl I like (and who seemed PRO) can i approach her?
NO. Gossips in the bank would killl my MONK-party breaker reputation! No way.
My culture is Need-To-Know-Basis. The less knowing, the better I sleep.
So I had always in my pocket several pieces of paper with my nickname and my burner phone (in pocket) number.
After clear eye contacts, I was going to the bathroom.
If the girl was tagging along, the message was clear and I gave her my piece of paper.
That trick worked like magic in MONGOLIA...
where foreigner male + Mongolian girl = bar fight!
Many times I took gorgeous Mongolian girls (they like non-Mongolian sex ...bartfight free!!)
out of of Mongolian males only disco / strip clubs.
Then in due time. SMS, I leave yawning Dragon-i because I am an old senior dude
(and kids enjoyed the perks of going in)
and seeing the girl going out.
Then we go to a short term hotel and have fun.
During thoe years, Wanchai was not my battlefield. From 2009. it became crazy!!!
With finance comes OFFSITES...i.e.pretending to work during the whole week end, to in fact party like crazy at nights
My very close colleagues always believed I was a monk or gay (loved it = peace).
Whatever,
if that hedges MY FUN.
I think my wife thinkd That i don't care about sex...wbile she clearly loved it.
I hope, for her, that she (good luck ) got a "lover". Maybe I can frame both and hedge myself...IF NEEDED
In 20xx and in YYYYYY (no year, no place as it would identify the shop and me and the unexpected event that took place)
my evil tiwn (a SE Asia country who gave me pointers and I am very grateful for his ....JKT +++ intel! business + else!!!)
and I went out on Friday night with a crowd. sub-optimum. Fun, but too dangerous to "score" for senior people like us.
Some believed we bagged several girls.
They were wrong. We went back to ...Banyan Tree without girls.
On Saturday, considering the idiots very senior colleagues around, we managed our evening together...seriously like pros:
* Booked Limo to Pxxxxx, with 2 colleagues on the way IN (guys, the seats will be occupied on the way back) ,
enjoy the evening at Pxxxxx, Bagged @ ~twins at ....Tiger Management
(anybody know that place? Darling Jack, you should know)
(should ring bells to thos familiar wit the country) and brought them to Bayan Tree for the night.
Unfortunately my secretary booked me a late flight to HK. Party breaker.
(while my friend friend had no choice than an early flight ....
and, very kindly, I ready to shelter the 2 girls in my room...so that they could share the same cab back to Pxxxxx.So kind!!!)
So that was my only "group" hunting...but this colleague and Ihad the same tastes.
Yeara later, as I left this finance shop, but he came to HK, he was always asking me for ...my Wanchai friends....
I ALWAYS "underwrote" the girl (after disucissing with her, send PIC): so for my former (JKT) colleagues the deal was:
"If you are not happy, don't pay!! I pay for you. it's agreed with the girl."
Never I was asked to pay pay. Obviously:
* we had similaar tastes,
* thoses girls (Indos and Thais) and high standards (we met / "traded' one at SEVVA!!)
...and to be straight were delighted to be recommended to a high wallet foreigner.
For what I know of :
* My former colleagues,
* The girls
* And me (seing them after)
that was an obvious Win-Win--Win
But that was a nich market,
There was visibility (relialying on very few colleagues and highstandards girls).
Today, if I had to "underwrite" a girl to a former colleague,
there would be only 1 and she is NOT a Wanchai girl!
Draw your conclusions.
Anyway that is clearly work dependent. | |
