Ervenescence,
You are quite correct, they are prostitutes, (in so far as they sell sex for monetary exhange) I was merely trying to promote the view that in the broader sense, they may not be classified as prosti's who do it for a general living, but that they might be considered to do it out of economic neccessity, however yes there is no doubt of that, it is plain and simple prostitution, Im not in any way defending these young ladies, far from it, I'm not sure though that your assertion that they throw themselves at foriegners and to quote you "Dirty Old Men is entirely fair"?
That would suggest to me that they only target foreigners, and that in some way, there is a co-relation between foreigners and Dirty old Men, translated into Sex tourists.
Your post in some ways seeks to stereo-type foreigners as the only game in town for the young ladies.
I dont think foreigners are the only game in town, in fact, I know for a fact they are not, the bars and clubs where these young ladies frequent are full of Filiipino citizens, if the girls had to rely on foreigners, they would not survive in their quest, there simply are not enough to make their approaches worthwhile.
We can assume though that if these ladies target foreigners, the object of their approach is as always to solicit money.
The correct way to deal with them, is to thank them for the object of their attentions and explain that you are a priest, and that should they wish to receive help, you would be happy to discuss their transgressions further.
I think that will do the trick..dont you think ?
