Rule #1: Every dancer has her own limits and those limits may be different for different customers. Some will do all, some will do some, some will do none, but no one is doing just you!
Rule #2: Dancers don't necessarily keep a regular schedule.
Rule #3: The real world stops and the fantasy world begins when you walk through the door. You're paying for a fantasy, so don't confuse the two.
Rule #4: When a dancer tells you that she can't wait to see you again or that she has missed you so much ... the YOU she refers to is your wallet. (this doesn't mean that dancers don't have favorite customers that they prefer to see, but we are all customers)
Rule #5: Bring in the amount of money you intend to spend. NEVER use a strip club's ATM machine.
Rule #6: Dancers don't come to your office and waste your time, so don't go to their "office" and waste theirs.
Rule #8: While a buzz is fine, don't get shitfaced at a strip club. It makes you an easy target.
Rule #7: The time to leave when you run out of money or they turn on the lights. Note that more tragedies and humiliating news stories occur after the latter has happened.
Rule #9: A dancer's job is to take your money. She will tell you what she thinks will convince you to spend more. A sad story, bad luck, impending doom, promises of future sexual adventure are all designed to get you to spend beyond your limit. Just as each girl has her right to define her limits, you need to define your own.
Rule #10: It’s okay to fall in lust, but never fall in love. This makes you a bigger target than getting shitfaced in a strip club (by orders of magnitude).
Addendum: 99.999999% of the time, trying to "save" a stripper will end miserably and with a visible mushroom cloud.
Another rule to add: Make sure you size up the bouncer(s) in order to be sure you can take him/them if you intend to get a lap dance from Tara Christine.
