If this sort of scenario seems normal to you, maybe you live in the wrong neighborhood.

I see a lot of shit when I go outside, but old geezers with entourages of very young eastern european women is not something I can claim to have witnessed.

You probably have not spent time in Midtown, UES, UWS, Chelsea, West Village, SoHo and TriBeCa in Manhattan, or Vegas, or LA, or Miami. I live in Manhattan and see this at every upscale establishment I go to. The old dude-young lady combos are everywhere in these places, part of the normal.

Old dude with a single young lady (possibly daughter or grand daughter) is something I've certainly seen. But a veritable entourage of young women? That's something I can't say I've seen.

If that is common in those locations, I'll be avoiding them.

Very rich people are not that common in general, perhaps?
