Reminder of proper behavior as we chase the thrill

This article is not so much for those that came over on Noah's ark and been doing this for a 100 years as it is for the newbies and those needing a refresher course after some bone headed mistakes. So if you are experienced lighten up and remember when you first started 😁

Alright mongers, let's talk SC etiquette. It's not rocket science, but knowing the unwritten rules is key to not being a total asswipe. First off, respect is the name of the game. These are professionals doing a job, and they deserve the same respect you'd give anyone else. No touching without permission, obviously. Keep your hands to yourself unless a dancer invites you to touch them, and even then, keep it classy. Think of it like this: you wouldn't just go up and hug a stranger, right? Same diff. 🙅‍♀️

When you're tipping, keep it smooth. Cash is king! 👑 Have some small bills handy, until you see if she is worth investing more cash . Tossing bills is cool, but don't be that dude who throws a wad of cash like you're in a music video and misses. Making it rain may be ok for a rapper, but not most people. Aim for the dancer, or discreetly hand it to them. Dancers rely on tips for their income. It's customary to tip for performances on stage, for dances at your table or in private rooms, and even for brief interactions like a smile or a conversation. Small bills are preferred till you see if she is worth more. Don't be afraid to tip generously if it is deserved.

Ensure you have enough cash for the dance and any additional tips. Put your small bills in one pocket and your big ones in another so you dont get them mixed up in the low light. Dont use the ATM or your credit card...you bank account will regret it. In fact go to your bank ahead of time and get a couple of hundred in 10s and twentys and $50 in ones. Better to leave with something in your pocket then run short when you spit a spinner at the end of the night

Private Dances: If you opt for a private dance, whether at your table or in a dedicated room, be clear about your expectations and the duration of the dance. I always tell them 1 dance upfront and if they try to ROB me I remind them that 1 dance is all I will pay for unless I agreed to more. For the life of me I cant tell when one song ends and the next one starts. I will tell her yes or no,when she asks for, "another?" Again, respect their boundaries and the time agreed upon, And hey, if you're in a VIP dance situation, make sure you're clear on the pricing beforehand. Nobody likes a surprise bill that makes their eyes water. 💸

Pics and phones? Big no-no. 🚫 Unless the club specifically says it's okay (which is rare), keep your phone locked up tight, and walk away if you need to take a call. Taking photos or videos without consent is a major privacy violation and can get you kicked out faster than you can say "one more song." Keep your phones up unless the dancers are Cuban and you need to use google translate, or you can be doubly safe and ask them to use their phone to chat back and forth via translate

And about the dancers themselves, don't get too personal, unless they bring up their personal life. They're there to entertain, not to be your therapist or your new bestie. Keep conversations light and fun, but avoid asking super intrusive questions about their personal lives. It's a boundary thing. Plus, don't get nasty if a dancer isn't into chatting or if they're focused on other customers. They're working, and they have to manage their time and energy. Focus on the here and now and enjoy the show they are (or are not) providing. If you are not interested in a dance, a polite but firm "no, thank you" is sufficient. Dont let yourself get suckered into a pity dance. I had one girl that sat with me for a good 10 minutes telling me her sob story and begging for dances as this was her 1st day back after a year of misfortunes. She was a 2 on a good day and she did NOT need to be dancing EVER. She must have figured that out since I never saw her again. I felt sorry for her but I wasnt going to encourage her with my money, plus the mamacitas I wanted to see wernt stopping. It's not personal, it's business.

Dress Code and Behavior: While most clubs have a relaxed dress code, dressing with a bit of effort hrlps snaggung the 9s and 10's. Avoid overly sloppy attire. More importantly, be polite and BE FRIENDLY! "I like your smile" goes a long ways, they know you are here for whats below the smile but recognizing them as a person not just a hot body will get you some extra attention in return. Oh and take a shower before you come to the club sheesh.

Finally, be aware of your surroundings and your own behavior. Don't get too rowdy, don't spill your drink on anyone, better yet do what I do and dont drink, and definitely don't get into arguments. The goal is to have a good time, not to cause drama. Remember, the staff are there to ensure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience, so treat them with respect too. You might need to have them on your side if you have a ROB situation. They're the real gatekeepers keeping the ship sailing smoothly. Dont be an ass and be discreet if you need to talk to managment, but keep in mind without yours and other customers money, they dont have a club.

Keep it simple stupid: respect, appropriate tipping, and respectful behavior, will get you a better and more enjoyable experience at any strip club then being a jerk wad.

Enjoy your visit
