1:st part in Thailand, where the girls act like models behind glass, with hard competition between these "women", for the "men" to pick out which one they like - not even with dialogue, just persuaders on each side, every girl identified by a number

3:rd part in Mexico, where the women seems more like "classical" whores, older bitches with stronger self-esteem, passion and laughs, though at the same time they go on drugs, while the men are maybe more dangerous here (or just trying to match these "man hunters")

TOTAL

113 /3 = 37,66

I can only review this movie rather than the real situations, but have no reason to doubt they are quite the same.






instead of + and - points I now give 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7
where 3 is good (or used when I don't remember)
and total possible 7 X 12 = 84 never exist(?)
