As I read about the seemingly embarrassing situations when passing and meeting other punters  when visiting the various 141-girls, I became pretty scared of trying it out the first time around.
I feared an angry papasan would question me, or maybe some chinese punter would be angry at me for being a westerner (fucking "his" girls) or whatever.

A couple of days ago - one of my first times, where i met a shy punter like myself, we both disappeared from the building with the same plan; to return a bit later when the other one was away - unfortunately we both returned at the same time, making it all seem even more awkward

But besides that it's almost only been very positive. I now try the best i can to look the other punters in the eyes while i smile, and looking like im almost about to say something to them. Here the other day 3 punters actually began talking to me, and i took advantage of it, to get them to help me find a few girls i couldn't locate in the big building.
After that there was much less tension, walking around the different doors.

So despite being fucking obvious, i just wanted to remind other scared newbies like myself, that these other guys are like urself, most of the time, where a little smile doesn't hurt, and most will probably gladly be of help (i had various punters translate things the chinese girls said i simply couldn't understand).

Bro, you're there to fuck the girls, not to be a good-will ambassador for the home country. What difference does it make what the other pilgrims do/think/say? I treat the other punters like I do people on the MTR - I'm careful not to step on toes, but otherwise they don't exist.

ehehe i guess u have a good point there!

Bro, some punters just like to be friendly. I agree with swigs. When I used to go to 141 buildings, I often used to smile
and even nod at fellow punters. Made for a nice friendly atmosphere.

Sure smiling is OK as an automatic gesture of conviviality - tho 9 times out of 10, no one in those bldgs is going to meet your gaze anyway - but worrying about the impression you're making on the other guys, who are there for the same reason you are, is unnecessary. (Anyway Jake, you smile at the others because you don't give a shit what anyone thinks and you want to let them know it. )

The only thing those other punters are thinking about, other than getting laid, is the impression they're making on everyone else. Knowing that, puts things in perspective.

And swigs, I really doubt many Chinese guys in HK, of all places, resent white guys paying for sex from Chinese WGs. The Chinese are too sophisticated for that. Loads of Chinese patronize white hookers in the States, etc - does that cause anyone a problem? And there are hoards of western girls in Asia servicing the local taste for the exotic - more power to them.

While mongering in walk up buildings I sometimes (actually quite often) end up talking with fellow bors sharing
info on the girls in that building or girls in general ... but this happens only if I make the initial step like giving a nod
or saying like she's been busy since ...

I've even (many times) given advise to foreign bros carrying print outs of the girl's DB as most are new to these
walk up places.

We're all there for the girls and not to see who's mongering so don't feel self concious about it - it'll take a little
time to get used to it thats all !

Mars - I'm still keeping an eye out for a tall American wearing that watch you were talking about !

I saw a tall western guy wearing a full suit come down the lift in Fuji mid afternoon last Wed.

Yah, no need to be shy guys.
Everyone knows what u are in the building to look for a lovely lady to fk and they are doing exactly the same thing.
