The entire "Juicy Girl" section is a mismatch; the term is relatively country specific (unknown in quite a few countries, such as Thailand, where bar girls and barfine prostitution are common) and yet it overwhelms the size of the rest of the article. - mr_Handy ( talk) 05:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
This article gives no voice to the women employed or often forced to work as juicy girls/bargirls, and reads like a primer for servicemen looking for their services. Not appropriate, considering how many women are forced into this line of work as blatant sexual slavery. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.219.238.102 ( talk) 15:24, 27 December 2013 (UTC)
This article makes it sounds like it's exclusively an Asian thing. There are B-girls in the U.S. and probably every major city in the world, and they're not necessarily prostitutes, very often they're paid just to chat with the customers and encourage them to buy overpriced, watered-down drinks. Here's the definition at Dictionary.com: B-girl. The origin is shown as U. S., 1936, abbreviation of "bar girl."
And here's an article about a club in Boston that "was closed down for repeated complaints of B-girl activity": article -- Rosekelleher ( talk) 16:03, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
Also: "Much like Robert B. Parker's novel, Ceremony, popular accounts of the Combat Zone typically featured a cast of characters that included leering college boys, seedy 'B' girls and saucy prostitutes, flashy pimps, winos, wayward husbands, co-ed strippers, muggers, shady operators, conventioneers, frightened pedestrians, and hard-bitten cops."

"These kinds of bargirls include hostess bars..." What does that mean? A bargirl is not a bar. - Rosekelleher ( talk) 22:23, 13 December 2014 (UTC)
I'm going to try to rewrite that sentence. Apologies in advance if I get it wrong. The wording is unclear, so I can't be sure I understand what's being said. - Rosekelleher ( talk) 17:35, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
I just noticed this: "The girl is under no obligation after a bar fine or not to engage in sexual intercourse."
Shouldn't that be: "After a bar fine the girl is under no obligation to engage in sexual intercourse."
Just a suggestion. I don't want to change it myself because I'm not sure exactly what's being said. - Rosekelleher ( talk) 23:26, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
I'm not an expert on the subject of bargirls, and I'm not contesting the accuracy of anything in this article. I just think the same information could be presented more clearly. I don't mean to be rude or unappreciative of anyone's efforts. It's great that someone created this article and added lots of useful information. I'd just like to do some rephrasing and rearranging. Hope that doesn't offend anyone. - Rosekelleher ( talk) 22:28, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
Is that real, or a joke, or some sort of political commentary? All the other variants listed in the introduction redirect (or link) to this page. "Unhappy girl" redirects to an article about a Doors album. - Rosekelleher ( talk) 12:08, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
KTV girl is either a synonym or near-synonym used in countries that have the sleazy kind of KTV (KTV is the word used for private-booth karaoke/noraebang in China and Taiwan and some kind(s) of karaoke venues in other countries including Cambodia and the Philippines).
If not used in China and/or Taiwan it's at least used in either or both of the Philippines and/or Cambodia, at least by expats. It's probably derived from bargirl. — Hippietrail ( talk) 12:58, 24 July 2015 (UTC)
Quite a while ago, someone merged the page for "Bar fine" in here ( https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Bar_fine&oldid=235639928 ; back in 2008!) -- see /info/en/?search=Talk:Bar_fine
In revision https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Bargirl&oldid=671453358 Neelix removed the information entirely. I've restored it, but it flows awfully with the main text of the article, and it seriously needs cites. If nobody objects, I'm going to split this out into its own page again under "Bar fine" mr_Handy ( talk) 23:12, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Perhaps it's worth splitting this page entirely, to distinguish the sort of bargirls common in Asia, and the outdated US usage? mr_Handy ( talk) 23:17, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Bargirl. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

An editor has reviewed this edit and fixed any errors that were found.
