I’m not sure how I ended up here.
It all began with a casual suggestion from my male friend, “Why don’t you go to Geylang and have some fun?” I politely declined and thought nothing more of his suggestion.
But then I heard it again. This time it was from another male friend. He said, “Hey, why don’t you go to Geylang and just waste some time?”
I was taken aback. I was not sure why he was suggesting such a thing to me. Was he serious? I asked him what he meant.
He then proceeded to explain that Geylang is a place where men go to find women for casual encounters. He said that it was a “guaranteed return on investment” because if you pay for the services of a prostitute, you are guaranteed to get something in return.
After thinking long and hard, I decided to confront my friend. I asked him why he thought this was a good idea. He simply replied, “It’s just a way to have some fun and waste some time. What’s wrong with that?”
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. How could he think that this was an acceptable way to spend my time? I explained to him how disrespectful and dangerous it was. I told him that there were many risks involved and that I could get into trouble if I went down this route.
My friend seemed to understand where I was coming from and conceded that it may not have been the best suggestion.
He then said: “One day you will know one la, you continue go find dates online la, pay dinner pay until ur finger bleed also get nothing in return, only G-Land is 100% ROI”
