[QUOTE=Blacks;1325008]Sounds like someone burned you. Or they made a promise and never kept it, you must learn not believe everything you hear.[/QUOTE]Thats funny cause I promise this kbg that I will never post on the internet again and quit drinking. Must have rub that shit from them.
[QUOTE=Kapakahi;1324951]Sounds callous but self-preservation is better than filling an endless KBG money pit.[/QUOTE]Good point. BGs being smart where they are thinking about self preservation vs feeling bad over some LVB customer. Why invest time / money into someone whom you think cares but doesn't give a damn? You're doing things & spending money on a BG far more than she will ever do for you in return.
I actually dated a KBG before I even knew she was a KBG. It was really fun while it lasted and I got to meet a lot of KBG's outside of work here and the mainland. The age different was about 8 years with me being younger which really made it exciting I guess for both of us. I guess in the end, things just didn't work out because of her lifestyle and work plus our age gap.
While we were dating, things were really great! She treated me really well and I'm pretty sure spent more money than I in the relationship. She use to buy clothes, watches, sunglasses, etc. Without me even asking for things. I also saw the good real side of a lot of KBG's and got along with most of them.
So what I'm basically saying is, they have 2 sides to them. They make really good girlfriends and probably even wives when you get a chance. But it's really really difficult to infiltrate that side of them. At work, they sort of have a protective shell around them and they question the motive of everything you do for them because they probably got burned a time or two in the past. You could be the nicest guy in the world but if you go into a Korean Bar to see them, it raises suspicion. They'll always think something is up and you're probably not real Boyfriend material seeing as how you go to that type of place.
P. S. If you want to make one of them your gf or wife and give up the bar scene, you're going to need to be able to support them financially. They pretty much have no other job skill that is prestigious enough and pays enough for them to give up their pride and work.
Goodluck fella's!
Stop at Twilight lastnight and was a little busy. Saw a skinny lady that had nice body but was bit older than saw a not bad looking girl with short brown hair. Brought bebe a drink. You can tell her age is showing or its from stress.

Goodluck fella's![/QUOTE]I second that. Meet a KBG which turned out to be my X gf (now). What he states is true (to some point, may find a needle in a hay stack). I stayed at her place, she cooked and everything, but in the end, I kind of called it off (cause of financials) , and not once said she loved me. Then later, come to find out, she was really into me. But THINGS HAPPEN FOR A REASON. I guess it was not my calling.
[QUOTE=Moonman757;1320837]JR I am thinking of the same hana you are. If so, I had sent her a text earlier today as I hadn't seen her for some time. She had taken over the old one way lounge for a while.[/QUOTE]That Hana Past away she used to work at One Way lounge Very Very nice woman then later she got the other bar behind Palama Market in Kalihi side. SHe was taken home back to Korea. SHe all of a sudden had Cancer so her parents came down and took her home. Her good friend works at Lilac. Heard diferent stories about her. That her boyfriend bought her the bar and later borrow money from her but never paid her back.
I was never into the hostess bar scene when I was drinking. Can only think of two occassions that I went in twenty plus years in Honolulu. Now that I don't drink I doubt if I would ever go. But I am just curious. The high price that customers pay for the drinks. What percentage of that goes to the girl and what percentage goes to the house? Do these bars have a better profit margin than an average bar without the hostesses, all other factors being equal?
Thanks

Thanks[/QUOTE]I know some bars are 50/50 and some are 70/30. I know at EG's the girls get paid no matter what even if no customers cause they punch in / out and do get paid hourly. Got this info from a very legit source.

Thanks[/QUOTE]It will cost you $20 a drink for the girl (Some try to upsell to $40). Girl gets $15 and the house gets $5 is the average. Some shift a dollar or two either way. Most hostesses are free-lancers although there are exceptions where the house actually pays the girl a small amount plus the ever important health insurance. It just depends upon the girls "quality" and customer base plus whether or not the owner wants to fly a little bit legit. I'm sure others have better info, but, that's the basics.

I have dated a KBG. We broke up at least a year ago. The hardest thing for me is when they have to talk to their customers and you are with them. I have talked about this before and fellow mongers were telling me that KBG's are no good. This is their lifestyle and they know how to suck the money out of you. I went with her for almost 4 years before we broke up. I think she wanted out of the relationship because my money was running out. We fell out of touch and just started seeing her again, just on a friend basis to eat lunch and drive her around. She used to call me couple times just to pick her up at the bar because she was too drunk but I never did because I didn't hear my phone. One word of advice to all who have or are going with a KBG. Don't fall in love with one and don't get her pregnant. I did fall in love with her and probably still am but luckily she didn't get pregnant. The weird thing now is that we have lunch now and then and she doesn't even ask me to buy her things, I just drive her around. Maybe she just realizes that not too many guys would do that kind of stuff for her. Just my 2 cents worth.

I've noticed that the MNF is not very busy. Certainly not as busy as in prior years. Probably there are many reasons for it, but basically it is the economy, And it will get worse next year. The KBG's are feeling the consequence of this bad economy and are getting worried and desperate. So to all the KBG's they better clean up their act and change their shitty attitudes as more and more mongers are joining the boycott.

The bartenders get pair something like $300. 00 a month that's for being bartenders. Casue they have to bring there own food for the customer House pupus and there food are totally different. Doing with the LC the girls have to punch in cause it shows that they are working over ther so they have to have a time card. If they forget to punch in and the LC comes in the mama gets fine. If you go to the bars late sometimes you see the girl punch out and then drink with you a bottle beer. SHe can cause she is not on the clock. Yes it is a LC problem not a POlice problem about the girls drinking beer. There are the new girls who get nothing but they have nothing to do anyway. They live with the mama so they don't get pay salary. They have to build up there customers before the mama even thinks about giving them a salary.

Who cares how much percentage the girls get. Why he even care for?
This is true. Use the economy so that we have the upper hand. Take out is easier these days. I am using the downturn to my advantage. Am getting take out I would not have considered feasible in better times.
