You finally made it to a [[Singapore KTV]], and you will definitely be thinking when you see the line-up of [[hostesses]]: who should I choose? Honestly, we've made some questionable choices the first time we went to one, and looking back we sometimes regret them. But you don’t have to go through that. Let’s turn you into a pro today.

==Don’t be embarrassed to look at the girls==
==Take your time to look at the girls==
The first time you see 10-15 waiting for you, you’ll feel pressured. Don’t be. Take your time to look at all of their faces. Which ones are your type? Which ones are smiling at you? Who is waving and calling out to you? That’s usually a good sign that they like you. We’ve gotten some of the best experiences by letting the [[hostess|girl]] “choose” us instead of us choosing them. If you don't see anyone you like at first, wait for the next round. The manager will try their best to bring someone who fits your style. Spend 20-30 seconds really looking at them and see if you like anyone. If not, the mummy will bring in more waves of girls for you subsequently.

You don't have to make up your mind immediately, although you might have to wait longer to see other girls later as the KTV gets busy.

If all else fails and you cannot make a decision, you can either ask the [[mummy]]/[[papa]] for your preference. Does she speak English? Chinese? Is she fun? Who can be brought out after the KTV session? All these questions can be answered by them. Otherwise, you can opt to wait for new girls as the managers will try their best to make sure you are seated with one within the first hour.

You can also choose more than 1 girl or as many as your wallet allows, in 1 session. Just ask your manager to bring more for you and pick them. Just keep in mind that if you have more than 1, you probably won’t see them come in together. What they'll try to do is to tell each other when they leave so the other can come back so you'll spend less time alone.

If it isn’t working out with a certain girl and there’s no chemistry, you can request to cancel her for a fraction of the tip. This is acceptable and you should not feel bad to do so - unless you replace the girls habitually, which will usually make everyone unhappy. S$30-S$50 will be enough depending on how many times they've been back. You can discuss this with the mummy, so there’s no awkwardness.

This is acceptable and you should not feel bad to do so - unless you replace the girls habitually, which will usually make everyone unhappy. If they've just came back once, usually it's ok to skip the tip. S$30-S$50 will be enough depending on how many times they've been back. You can discuss this with the mummy, so there’s no awkwardness.  


Try to do it at most on the 2nd time they come back. After the 3rd time, it won't be reasonable to cancel for less than $100, unless you encounter very bad service.
