They're people, afterall.

Have you guys gotten to know the WGs personally - and maintained contact with them for reasons other than their services?

In my short punting career so far, I have done this with 3 WGs - to the point that I booked their services (on more than one occassion) for several hours at a time (nearly the whole day, sometimes overnight) and didn't even have sex with the girl - just sat there talking and took the girl out for a good meal.

Out of the 3 WGs, I am still in touch with two of them even after they have left HK.

Very much agree with you there.

Have kept in touch with some but life in HK is so hectic with work etc it's difficult to keep it going for long, as there's so much fish in the sea, esp civvies.

I like to get to know the girl. Most here in the states are pretty gaurded though. Difficult to even get a simple thing like their real name or where they are from.  Could be because most that I see are from other countries and maybe some not legally.

I naturally am interested in that, BUT I don't like to get those sad stories and feel all bad (not to mention LIMP!) afterwards.
I haven't got to the point where i've maintained contact for an extended period of time tho. They just moving around and disappearing so fast!

Bros, from the reverse point of view why would a WG want to get to know her customer? Usually, this can involve emotion. But mostly, it comes down to getting free lunch and perhaps some jewelry. I advise such bros not to fall into these traps because for that same price you could be banging her and make it back to work and do something productive than waste your time satisfying the WGs desires with your time and money. However, if you really do think it is genuine (rarely ever, it is so it seems), then good on you.

Because sometimes its not just about putting your dick into a hole until you ejaculate.

The same way that you have a relationship with your secretary or office mates... its just another person with another job.

Developing rapport with WG's is nice but there is a line there somewhere that you dont want to be crossing in my view. I think that line will be different for different people.  For me I want rapport that improves my punting experience without getting into a relationship and maintaining contact for other reasons. Pretty much I am there to have a great time with them and dont want to be burdened with their issues - got plenty of other people to do that with.
Cant see myself going to dinner, chatting etc without the end goal in mind - having a brilliant carnal experience with her! Anything that improves that I'm up for provided it doesn't intrude to my life elsewhere (would be a fucking disaster).
I have had dinner with a couple of girls as part of an overnighter and it was great, improved my night with those girls considerably. But yep, it was all aboout improving my night, anyway you cut it I'm still the paying customer.
I do keep the details/numbers of girls I like but never contact them unless it is to arrange a punt and sometimes to ask for them to recommend a friend if they cant make it. Have had a great couple of punts through this process.

A few years ago (When I lived over the island) I used too. Now I live quite far out & always have people visiting on holiday etc so I do not really bother now.

Plus I was with my ex for 3 years & I did not punt for 2 years of that time!

I was with one WG before for practically a week! She was called Naomi, I lived in Wan Chai then, she was from Vietnam, a right little cutie. She used to text me every morning around 2am asking if she could stay at my hotel, she used to come in & sleep & I would get up & go to work lol she stopped texting after a while & just turned up...

She always worked in Neptunes & Fenwicks - it go to the point where she would not like me going to those places when she was not working there.

I have also gotten to know a few quite well, and we still keep in contact via QQ. It is nice with them that you can talk about anything, whether is is sexual or not, they dont get offended.

Recently I keep a freelance WG number that I like. She's nice to chat with, has a nice body, a good fuck, and great service as well. I believe she used to be a secretary at a trading company or something and has recently only being a WG for some extra cash. However, I do draw the line to which extend, as I don't really want a GF kind of relationship. So yeah, I send her a message sometimes just to find out how she's doing and ask for some insider trading tips. But that's all. At least I know when the next time I'm up for her, she'll be willingly

I kept in contact with a walk up once. We became quite good friends until she started going absolutely nuts and miss calling me over a dozen times every day.

you pay to have sex. yet sometimes you don't even have sex & just talk all day     why bother?  You can just strike up a convo with almost anyone on the streets and talk all day!  FREE too!  Unless you are doing some kind of research on WGs

I used to do that but not anymore. I remember I had to change my phone number twice because some girls used to call me too often...

I treat every girl with respect but it's best to keep my private life and mongering life separate...

The few that have opened up told a pretty sad story about their life and it was a mood buster. Punting time is not a good time to be sad on life drama

The difference is that you have a hot hot girl in front of you which is quite the exception from your everyday average girl.

Come on.... everybody enjoys looking into the eye of a beautiful girl and chatting. You'd take that over a mediocre looking girl any day right?
I just love listening to a hot chick talk away while fantasizing countless other things in my head at the same time

sometimes they can be a good listener if you are down and you can listen to their worriees too. I've tried talking to WGs in korea seems like most of them is they are doing it to support their high expense lifestyle.

It's seems easier to slip into a temporary 'relationship' of sorts with the 'semi-pros' or with the alternative WGs (tantrikas, FBSM girls, etc.  This is more of a U.S. thing).  I've yet to cross this line with a HG, although there are many reviews in the database from bros that include talk of dinner dates and such.  The girls enjoy being treated like girls, you just have to watch out for the ones that start getting clingy.
