looks like Girls Gone Wild can easily become Girls Gone Missing....
sad but true
a friend and I went to Barbados in 1985, after finishing university, we frequented this one bar about 4 nights, great open air bar with mixed crowd - we met this nice Canadian guy who filled us in on the bar owner's mode of operation- the bar owner was a friend of this guy and also very front and centre, partying in the bar every night, he was very charming, the Canadian guy warned us that we were his type, blonde blue eyed and 5"6 ish and that when he was going in for the kill, he would start buying you B52's, then he would say, can I take you on the tour of the bar at which point he would lure a girl to his office upstairs and the door was the kind that automatically locked, if you catch my drift, so god knows what happened to the chicks he was targetting on the other nights we were there, but then he started buying us B52s and gave me the line about going on a tour but since we knew his game, we kept letting him buy us alcohol and making sure neither of us ended up alone with this guy....we thought it was funny at the time but in retrospect I never thought about what the creep may have been doing to other women, we were just lucky we had inside information - I wonder if that bar is still operating and he's still operating like that....
I imagine if you are inclined to bad behaviour, living in a tourist destination gives you lots of access and probably your victims are less likely to bring charges because of the inconvenience, and the island is small so you likely have friends in the police and elsewhere, esp this bar owner dude, his wife was the one with the money actually and she owned large chunks of the island, besides the resort and the bar...
Very true. As one who has raised four daughters, I can say the years between 17 and 22 are the most dangerous. They feel they no longer need their mom's advice or their daddy's protection. Yet they are really very naive in the ways of the world.
I'm all for a return of the good old ways...they do not leave their father's house without permission, and then, only with a chaperone. Any man interested in them has to come to the father and ask permission to court his daughters.
The courtship is assumed to lead to a wedding within six months.
A marriage takes place only with the father's permission, after he has checked out the prospective fiance thoroughly
, and after the young man has proven his trustworthiness. The fiance must give documented proof that he can support the girl in the manner to which she is accustomed.
Ah, yes...dream on...those days are gone forever, much to the detriment of many a naive young girl.
