They are simply mistaking politeness and a different culture for whatever they project upon the women. Their fantasy about these women is a complete delusion. Of course, this is a performance for other men, and the women are not real people to them so they cannot take up this information. I cannot imagine anything more ridiculous and stupid as these assumptions about the people and the places that they have, and it’s simply grotesque to imagine these fools bumbling around other countries with their dollars in their pockets supposing they are special because the dollar buys more. Besides the sexism and misogyny they probably inflict on women wherever they go, the colonialist attitudes are utterly revolting. Amazing after a bit of travel they still don’t even realize how stupid they look! It makes you never want to be a tourist ever again in case you are trailing in the wake of such utter bozos.
