Avoiding Emotional Attachment

Strip Clubs, while an effective means of escaping the challenges and stressors of the real world, can be dangerous dens of emotional traps and frustration.

In a normal situation, one clearly draws a line between fantasy and reality, by simply acknowledging this fantasy/reality dichotomy as soon as one exits the club.

What happens, though, when due to either naivety or a skilled dancer, one begins to develop an emotional attachment to a certain dancer? A lesser evil of this is simply loss of more $ than one would otherwise spend. A more harmful impact, though, is the emotional pain caused by failing to acknowledge the fantasy which exists within the SC walls, and thinking that a dancer truly likes and cares about you. Then, you spend every waking moment thinking of her, even though you would, in your otherwise logical state, acknowledge that she is just doing her job by flirting and laughing with you.

We would all be best served to ALWAYS remind ourselves that the likelihood of a dancer/customer relationship ever working is very low. There are certainly situations where is Ct relationships are successful, but ultimately, you are playing against the house, and the house always comes out ahead.
