How to avoid being hustled in Vietnam: Tips for screening out dangerous women

Vietnam is a fascinating travel destination, with beautiful landscapes, delicious food, and a wide variety of people to look forward to meeting. However, these encounters can sometimes lead to unexpected trouble, especially when it comes to female encounters, which is something that first-time visitors to Vietnam need to be aware of. In this article, we'll show you how to screen out dangerous women in Vietnam and give you tips to stay safe and enjoy your encounters.


1. meeting place matters

Depending on where you met, you can get a sense of the woman's intentions.

  • Karaoke and clubs
    Women who approach you first at karaoke or clubs are often looking for financial gain.
    In particular, women who work in karaoke are more likely to be motivated by financial reasons rather than personal attraction.
  • Meeting in a club
    The 70-90%s in the Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh Clubs often include professional women.
    Be wary of women who approach you with compliments on your appearance.

2. how to identify women in the workforce

Here are some tips to distinguish professional women from the general public.

  1. App usage habits
    If they use KakaoTalk or WeChat, be suspicious.
    The typical Vietnamese woman uses Facebook, Instagram, and Zalo.
  2. Behavior patterns
    • One or two people wearing sexy clothes, ordering a beer, and not dancing.
    • Asking for money when you're talking to them, or making covert suggestions during a conversation.
  3. Luxury and frugality
    A woman who is dressed in designer clothes and has little money is more likely to be approached for financial gain.

3. safe encounters on short lines

Danang is a relatively safer place to meet than Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

  • Recommended places
    Tourist attractions like Banahill, Sunworld Theme Park, and Hoam Phutthan provide opportunities to mingle with good people.
    If you can speak a little English, you'll be able to have more conversations.
  • Select a club
    Clubs with a large expat population are safe environments where there are fewer professional women and you can socialize with people of different nationalities.

4. Behaviors to watch out for

  1. Invitations to hotels
    It's never a good idea to follow someone to their hotel room.
    It can result in not only monetary demands, but also theft of goods and even threats to your life.
  2. Visiting expensive places
    If a woman you've just met insists on going to an expensive bar or restaurant, you should be suspicious of her intentions.
    Meeting in an overly luxurious venue is likely to lead to unnecessary spending.

5. meeting with regular women

You also need to be careful when meeting with non-professional women.

  • Build relationships slowly
    Don't rush to give gifts or offer financial support.
    Authentic relationships are built on time and trust.
  • See for yourself
    Get to know the other person's interests and goals through conversation.
    For example, you can ask questions about family stories or hobbies to get more information.

Conclusion

Meeting people in Vietnam can be an important part of your trip, but making the wrong choice can lead to an unpleasant experience. Follow the tips above to have safe and fruitful encounters. Remember, true love comes to those who are prepared.

We hope your trip to Vietnam is filled with great memories!
