Demand for female bodyguards has risen sharply in China as they booming economy as made wealthy business people look to their own securityNot quite Baywatch: Splashing through the surf, the trainees are driven hard by their instructorsNo pain, no gain: This trainee walks over her colleagues' stomachs as they wince in painFemale bodyguards are often paid far better than male counterparts - up to $100 a day - too because they can adopt different roles. The average annual wage in China is just $1,500.The boom in China has also seen a rise in the growth of wealthy women, who prefer female bodyguards because their presence does not raise questions of potential relationships.Instruction: A trainer uses a megaphone to get his point across as the women prepare to complete another exerciseSplash down: The women shout as they carry a log on their shoulders. Because they can adopt roles including as a secretary, female bodyguards are in high demand in China(source)The guy in the first picture looks like he was about to say: Biiiii :lol:This looks like a scene from the movie naked weapon, except these girls are wearing casual swim wear. Anyways, I was just about to hire some female bodyguards to protect my beer, and maybe drink it with me too. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
