Some First Timer Hints

great advice

Super article.

Nice job Skeets! That really takes me back.

Most if those are obvious to those of us who've been doing this for a while, though I'm sure many will disagree with number 1, but you've stated them well. Good article.

I think for a first timer, there's a benefit to understanding the line between the sheer money of it all and being a decent man worthy of a woman's attention who makes the transaction (e.g., rail tipping, lapdance, etc.) an enjoyable and mutually beneficial experience.

I've watched dickheads 'rain' bills at girls on stage like their casting off garbage. They walk up, flip a stack of bills everywhere (including the floor around the stage), and then turn their backs and walk away like they don't give a shit. I even once watched a guy sitting with his back toward the stage simply flip back a few dollars without even turning around. It all comes off as stuck-up, crass, and disrespectful. The girls, even if they do pay the guy some attention, often look bored/disgusted, and I get hear later what an arrogant/conceited/boorish PL he was. Don't be that guy.

Instead, walk up with a smile and good eye contact, offer a compliment, ask for their name and give them yours while shaking their hand, tip a buck or two, and then give an appreciative once-over before turning to go back to your seat. If you do this consistently over several visits, it'll make for pleasant interactions with the girls (who know you're a decent guy who makes their time relatively enjoyable and worthwhile) and stretch your tipping dollar (as compared to the 'rainer').

Where there are some girls who see it only for the money, regardless of the shit they put with (which is the same in life), their Modus Operandi becomes evident fast which causes me to lose interest. Others who inject some humanness into our little commercial transaction benefit all around (again, as with any business) by making a decent living in the moment, and maintaining good will and positive expectation for interactions down the road.

Excellent article!!! This is timeless advice for both newbies and veterans alike.

The only thing I can add is to do research on TUSCL for club options in the area before you visit.

I wonder whether skeets has been to Detroit? Seattle, Portland, etc., are low, low mileage places by comparison.

Good article, skeets. There will always be "newbies to boobies", so there's always someone that can benefit from this.

"Never, and I mean NEVER, bring in an ATM card" -- I'm safe with this, in that I'm not interested in a SC ATM showing up on my bank statement. That said, I *did* once leave a club long enough to hit the ATM at the convenience store next door. But that was "special circumstance" - a dancer that I always take to VIP was there when I didn't think she would be. Yeah, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

Also consider this thought (which may be met with a certain amount of dissent): Don't get emotional about strippers. They are there to give you pleasure for money, not to be your girlfriend. The moment you are done they will move on, and you should too or you will run the risk of becoming a pathetic, jealous loser whom the stripper will treat as her personal ATM.

It's fine to have favorites, but circulate among the other dancers as well. Try the flavor of the day. Don't let one dancer take you for granted - you don't belong to her any more than she belongs to you.

SV, minor dissent. You're right to say "don't get emotional about strippers", but the flipside (treating it like it's ALWAYS just a business transaction) is as boring as the former is dangerous.

If the "flavor of the day" interests you (even if it's just a gamble), then go for it. But if not, drop that money on a fave, or just leave.

"I wonder whether skeets has been to Detroit? Seattle, Portland, etc., are low, low mileage places by comparison."

Philly, E. St. Louis, Dallas, Maryland, Tampa, LA, Phoenix, Vegas, Chicago, Miami, but not Detroit.

I would agree that every city and region has their nuances and some are much higher mileage than others (E. St. Louis, Vegas, LA, and Tampa, it does not get much more high mileage than that!).

But, I am not sure I get your point, I have used this same approach all over the country and I have found it is good solid rules to follow for beginners, obviously, experienced clubbers know lots of little tricks and what to look for to get more.

And kuteechaser, you bet, check out TUSCL to get some ideas of what each club might give you and especially look for reviews from experienced guys who have 20+ reviews from multiple clubs.

Thanks skeets. Another aspect important to the enjoyment of the SC experience concerns keeping count of multiple lap dances by a stripper.This will prevent any misunderstanding between you and the stripper concerning the amount of money you owe her after the completion of lap dances. The stripper will typically ask, "do you want to keep on going?" After two songs I will seek a confirmation by asking, "two songs so far, so the next one is song number three?" The stripper will say, "that's right, the third one is starting right now". After the third song the stripper will ask if I want to continue. After confimation of songs I will reply, "sure, keep on going". More dances continue, then finally I let her know that the next one will be my last for the session with her. During the dances there has been very high mileage two way contact. On the last song the genie gets a focused ultra intensified workout until there is a happy ending. The dancer gets her money plus a generous tip.
