		<description>Personally I absolutely love Malaysian girls. I have had some of my best experiences ever with Malaysian girls and find then much more accomodating with fit, toned athletic bodies, keep themselves clean and trimmed and very willing to please more than chinese girls who are often like &#039;starfish&#039;. As for filipinas, I find them to be the worst of all, not pretty and not good service. So I am very amused that Malay girls are rated so low (cheaper even than Phillipino girls?!) when I always found them so hot. I also suspect these girls are not really &#039;malay&#039; but from isaan in Thailand and/or Indonesia but I guess it would be good for me if they are really Malay girls- where was the photo taken!? Also, there are many very hot young Malay girls here in Sydney working in brothels. I guess they get paid the same as everyone else in Australia and it&#039;s easy for them to get a student visa, so why would real Malay girls want to go work in Asia when they can come here to Australia and get paid more and not discriminated against?</description>

		<description>It is the color of the skin !
In Asia, fair and light skin are the most desired and is associated with upper class and so the demand. If brown skin Malay or Philipinas is worth $180 then the darker skin Indians would be $100 ! Maybe the black southern Indians is even worth much less !</description>

		<description>Fer feck&#039;s sake a hole is a hole. Cost is determined by the weight, the amount of lipstick, and the heels. 

Sometimes, a 2nd hole is worth extra, as are any special &#039;tricks&#039;.</description>

		<description>It may be that prices go up for all categories because the gender divide in China increases. The higher proportion of men to women, perhaps the higher in demand. 

Here&#039;s an interesting article that connects increased rates of single (versus married) men to increased rates of violence. 

http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?id=06d65840-0997-482e-a84d-b09b61a7b0e5

I wonder if there is a study out there that shows the impact of increase number of sex workers to rates of violence.</description>

		<description>a &quot;Hong Kong&quot; girl is probably just a mainland Chinese girl that also speaks cantonese. And like others said, the malay girls are certainly/most likely not malay, but thai/indonesian.

The preference for fair skinned (white) girls in asia goes so far that many women put on white makeup.

you probably know some asian (hongkong) ghost movies where the gost just has white makepup and red lipstick on.

thats how the girls in many brothels in cambodia look like.

SCARY ;-)

so... nerdy white guys... go to asia!!!</description>

		<description>The skin color thing is just snobbery . In England when only the rich could live indoors and travelled by carriage white skin was the thing to have to show wealth and status  - rich victorians used to have skin peels to stay white.  The peasants had brown skin from living and working  outdoors all the time. In the 60&#039;s when the poor all worked in factories and only the rich could afford to travel overseas  being tanned  suddenly became thing to have - it was a sign you were well travelled and had money.      I find it interesting the scorn that some of my chinese colleagues put on english guys who date malay, indonesian or phillipino girls when the white guys think brown girls  are exotic.    In a couple of generations when everyone drives to work in China brown skins are going to become more atractive.</description>

		<description>I guess in Japan, where I used to live, it would be nearly the same - maybe Filipino women would get a better rating, though. Anyhow, the transnationality of prostitution seems to follow the transnationality of weddings, where economics plays a key role in dictating the norms.</description>

		<description>As professor of economics, I can say the following regarding this price difference. Scarcity is not determined merely by numbers or absolute supply, but rather by the relative supply and demand. As for supply of girls, with relatively low income or opportunities for low skill workers in domestic countries will bring a higher number of prostitutes in to the market for a given transportation/entry cost. Let&#039;s look at the average incomes in the above mentioned countries. In 2003, China&#039;s GDP per capita was $5,321, Hong Kong&#039;s $29,550 Malaysia&#039;s $13,317, Philippines&#039; $3,900,  and Russia&#039;s $12,217. These incomes per capita probably have not changed much relative to each other, so year 2003 will suffice. There is a dramatic difference in average incomes between Hong Kong and China yet no difference in price. Moreover, Malaysia and Russia have about same incomes per capita in 2003, but their girls are at the opposite ends of the price range. It appears that these income differences alone do not explain the price difference. Why? Because we lack another important determinant of value (scarcity) - demand. Compared to Malaysia, Russia is farther away from the Asian market and has more exotic women for local tastes, which unsurprisingly manifests in substantially higher prices. What puzzles me is why services by China&#039;s women and Hong Kong&#039;s women have identical prices while their incomes are substantially different, while Malaysian girls are priced lower than Philippines girls despite higher incomes. My guess is that to buyers the difference between Chinese and Hong Kong girls is  miniscule and therefore, price is the same. Perhaps, there is not much difference between Malaysian and Chinese girls either, but Malaysians&#039; could be priced lower if it was a local commodity (i.e. the brothel is located in Malaysia). Thus, it would be very important to know where this picture was taken in order to explain this price difference with economic forces rather than history (because history was determined by the same economic forces)!</description>

		<description>Russian girls seem to be valued higher, but they are also probably harder and more expensive to come by for the &quot;employer&quot;. They may be &quot;more valued&quot;, but that would mean lots of brothels would be trying to bring more Russian girls over. The fact that they don&#039;t (which keeps the price high) suggests that the smuggling of Russian girls is done by one or two organizations and is generally more expensive than coming by Malay girls.</description>
