I do not wish to instigate a debate over this as I see it as a waste of time. Asking, arguing, debating on such a question that is so subjective to individuals is a pure waste of effort. In the end, there is no correct answer. Why not put more time and effort in your work as a suggestion?
Some may stick to their cultural/traditional values and some are open-minded. Some just wanna put some words here to make their presence, some just boh liao. Some are jealous and some just want attention.
Whatever each individual may be, there is absolutely no questions needed over here. I post these pictures is to
1) Showcase my shitty low light photography
2) Trying to maximize my D80 capability
3) Show you that there are many things you don't see in Singapore
4) The girls are naturally better than what you normally see in your typical "female" area-of-vision
5) Show you that I am enjoying myself here in Bangkok
6) Show you that I have a lot more shooting opportunities here than in Singapore
As to do I want my close ones to be one of the girls... It depends. If you are asking me, I would answer if she can take care of herself and have the ability to think and act according to what she likes, whatever she wants to do, she just do. As long as it does not affect me too much, I am okay. I am not married so I cannot answer this question as a father or as a relative.
Other people may have other opinions. So let them answer your question. You or anybody can argue to the points I stated, I will not provide further comments to them. You or anybody else can say whatever you or anybody likes. I can choose not to listen to them. But just don't go overboard to directly infringing attacks to the girls. They are not in this conversation and it is unfair to them.
For your information, one of the girls showcased IS my friend.
