It's the worlds oldest profession and these ladies can make more than engineers in their country. I don't believe calling them desperately poor is fair.

    I'm not talking about the prostitutes. I am talking about the younger Filipino women who get married to older American men so they have money for their family.

    I don't think reality is that black and white. I doubt the vast majority of ladies working in the red-light districts even consider themselves "prostitutes." Many are waitresses, bar girls, and masseuses. Technically, prostitution is illegal in Thailand. If the relationship you describe is truly just a business transaction, it seems to be in the same venn-diagram circle as "prostitution."
