My hypothesis, and this is certainly not based on knowing anything about what Chinese people are like, or anything, is that the Cubans pay the vig, and don't get cute, but the Chinese try to chisel EVEN the cops, and Bob Kraft got caught in the crossfire.

It's a cash business. For some owners that's all it needs to be.

@bavarian People generally are wired in such a way that rational and emotional motivations are frequently in conflict. Some people are better than others at choosing the rational over the emotional, but the basis of the difference is likely genetic (most people favor a moralistic explanation). Even for people who are good at it, choosing the rational (egg white omelet) over the emotional (donut), never FEELS as good as the other way around. So while some women may choose a man who can support them, they all know that getting banged out by a murderer would be more fun. Those who make that choice do so for fear of the consequences of the other. Just like all guys know that paying hot young sluts to touch your dick might be fun, but most of them (probably correctly) decide it's not worth the cost/risk.

Dude are you for real? She offered to do you for free and you said no? At some bars, after you buy a few drinks, the bartender will say "next one's on me." Would you say no thanks, just because he's not really your friend?

The stripper is getting something from her "loser" BF that no RIL can give her. Just like PLs get high off the intense femininity of the stripper, and sometimes make imprudent choices in pursuit of it, the stripper gets high off the intense masculinity of the "loser." Settling for the RIL would feel, for her, like settling for an obese, bitchy middle aged woman would for us.
