This reminds me of some times when I went to places with buddies who really shoudl have known better.

Once was with a friend who always liked to bargain hard for everything. It was one of those girl bars on HBT when that was good and reasonably priced. I was with a girl I had met before there, he was with another girl, and me and mine sat across from he and his. Well, he liked flirting in an attention-getting way, and that led to their bargaining ("you take me hotel") and haggling over the price in a way that it was like the center of attention for the whole table, and he enjoyed the game of teasing her with comebacks to whatever she said, and also I sensed he had no intention at all of taking the girl to a hotel, but was just enjoying this teasing game. And this just went on and on and on. He just got a kick out of being an asshole, basically As this was happening, my girl whispered to me, "next time, come alone, it's better alone."

Another time with another buddy, this at Sixteen bar in district 3 (still there, I think), two of us had a couple girls at our table, and they asked for drinks which we obliged, but then they didn't exactly warm up to us after that, it was a bit difficult, our Vietnamese not really good enough to carry things. I went to use the toilet, expecting to come back and try more, and if that failed, invite different girls over. I came back to our table and the girls were gone. My friend started telling me that he got pissed off at their attitude and told them to leave, and he was still a bit heated when he was saying this, so I guess he had a bad scene with them when I was away. I was like, Dude, what the fuck. Why did you fucking do that.

And I knew both these guys well, had no reason to expect things would go this badly with them. Sometimes places like these can bring out the hidden retard in people you think you know. These and other bad experiences led me to focus on going to mongering places solo and not with friends.
