Talking with other customers

  It's rare, but I've had a few conversations with other customers that went beyond "hi" or "is anyone sitting here". In my estimation it's about 60 percent guys who are desperate for any friend (and usually way too drunk), 30 percent guys who are trying to pimp out dancers or other girls, and 10 percent guys who are just very cool and make friends with everyone in and out of the clubs.

  Presuming I don't know these customers first, not very often. At least I don't seek it out. Most of my interactions with other customers involve either saving a spot at the stage for somebody, or someone who just feels like talking.

  Yeah, it happens from time to time. Usually they're either drunk or doing something stupid like harassing my ATF over the color of her costume (and oftentimes both).

  I like to be "sociable" with the dancers of course, maybe the waitresses/bartenders if they're hot, but other customers - not so much. If a dancer does something remarkable on stage, I might exchange a look and smile with another patron. Otherwise I keep my distance. When I’ve had a particularly good night, hanging out with and getting dances from very hot dancers, I’ve had a few young guys come up to tell me they “like the way I roll” or ask "how do you do it, man?" (Ah, I'm paying them, dude). The worst are the drunk guys who ask you “how was it?” after you come back from a lap dance. Buy a dance and find out for yourself, you cheap ass, lol.

  Only with those I know or knew just a little before I saw them in the club.

  If someone speaks to me i'll happily speak to them, one time I met up with a genuinely great guy from Boston when we were waiting to get into Rhino. He kept calling me 'London', HE was one of those friendly guys without being OTT.

  Got a horrible "tip" one time from a supposed regular about which dancer at the club that night provided the best lap dance. She was thin and agile and so-so in the face. Get back to the dance area and bore witness to the worst c-section scar/surgery I've ever seen. Further, dancer said boyfriend was in jail. Dance was typical, run-of-the-mill lapper. At least it was only $10 sacrificed to The Lap Dance Gods. Then again I guess I should've expected as much when I dared to deviate from The Hip Hugger and try one of the other Kokomo clubs...

  Sorry if I'm hijacking the thread, but I think the subject of dancer "tips" from PLs, waitresses, bartenders, bouncers and other dancers is interesting. I used to go into a particular club looking for a particular dancer. Before paying the cover I would ask the bouncer if she was working. He would tell the truth, but if the answer was "no" he would always add "but so-and-so is working tonight and she gives a really good LD." I would always wonder, is she tipping him for that? Does he get a cut? Once I was sitting with a dancer and a waitress came up to me and said, "why haven't you taken her upstairs yet? Playing hard to get?" Later, when the dancer had to go up on stage, the waitress stopped by and said "don't let any of these bitches steal you away while she's up there!" In this case I don't think any money was changing hands, they were just friends. I've also had waitresses come up to me and say "you know the girl you were just talking to? Bad news. Not very nice." If a dancer approaches me often I'll say I'm waiting for someone (usually it's true). If they ask who, I'll tell them... and then often I get an evaluation... "Wow, you must like girls with big fake boobs..."; "you must not like the cute girls..."; "I think she's hot, sometimes we get it on..."; or "oh" (rolls eyes).

  When in clubs, I'm almost always somewhere with people I don't know and might never see again. If other customers want to talk, and they often do for whatever reason, I don't mind as long as they're cool. I'd rather not have someone try to strike up a conversation while in the men's room or getting a lap dance, though. There's a time and a place for everything. Annoying customers can be helpful, too. After I've run into one, it's usually the first thing a dancer mentions when she walks up. Nice and neutral conversation starter for two people who've never met before.

  I once had a customer buy me a dance before I even said anything to him. He gave the money to the dancer...and the dancer comes over and says he paid for it and it is free for me. After our lap dance she stands around expecting me to tip her but I ignore her. I walk past the guy's booth and say thanks but he does not even seem like he's paying attention or wants to talk with me. Later she is hanging on to that guy. I wonder if he was doing it because he was interested in chatting with me or because he wanted to show off and impress the dancer throwing money around. I think it is the later of course.

  I once bought dances for a table of under-21 guys. This club makes them wear dorky T-shirts so the waitresses know not to serve them alcohol. They were just sitting there looking terrified. When the next 2-4-1 came up, I paid my dancer and her friend to go over and give them table dances. It was worth it to see the expressions on their faces. Ah, “yutes.”

  Gator, hands down the most annoying crowd I've ever found was the group of guys hanging out at a casino's sports book in Reno. I stopped in to catch some of my favorite team. These guys would wander about due to nerves, talk to the screen out loud, and assume some sort of empathy on your part. They'd yell across the room to their buddies "Yankees just made an out!", curse out loud, wander off, then come back as soon as the telecast resumed. Oh and they'd periodically yell to the guy at the front running the desk. Never met a group more deserving of a Taser.

  Try hanging out at bus terminals and subway stations, I've seen more than a few winners, not all of them were homeless either. There must be alot of szchizophrenics out there.

  To some degree one can expect those. But the sports book crew was an entirely new echelon. Course the setup, small TVs on the periphery--not a big wall at the front like the Vegas casinos--made it more so folks had to wander to within 12 feet or so to really watch the action.

  Most of the conversations I have had in clubs have been OK as long as the person wasn't too drunk and seeking attention. However, people striking up conversations with me in the bathroom is annoying. I like to pee in peace.

  PAS: What kind of a homo are you? Going to strip clubs to talk to guys. Unbelievable. Normally people go there so they can find some whores to fuck.

  A guy who looked like an illegal sat at my table where I had left my beer when I went to tip a gal on stage. You know these scum have no money. I confronted him and he left my table but was hacked. I think I would have fought him. In retrospect I prob shoulda just picked up my beer and gone to another table. At that time I was on Lexapro and it made me combative. He seemed to be cussing at me but I could not hear him over the music. I just waived and said "same to you." A coctail waitress (aparrently his GF) seeing the incident came over and asked me if everything was ok. I told her "Settle your frend down or I will get management and a frind of mine over there who is INS." A few minutes later he left in a huff. Later the dancer who I had tipped, witnessing the whole thing came over to my table and said "Your tough." I had a few dances with her. I would not recommend this type of confrontational behavior with another customer.

  I wind up talking to other custies quite often, and I'd say that half the time it's great - they are usually pretty nice guys & I wind up with free dances. But the other 50% of the time sucks - guys either hitting on me or leering and commenting during my LD's. The latter part is why nowadays I tend to favor clubs with very private VIP rooms.

  I will talk to anyone who wants to chat. If he is an idiot, I just go tip a dancer on stage and move to the other side of the room.

  Struck up a conversation with another customer in August. Now he's my buddy and we hang out all the time. It helps that he's a sicker fucker than I am, I guess. LOL

  Dougster, "Talking with other customers", as a thread title, doesn't imply a like or dislike for doing such. It seems about as neutral as it could be. But, of course, we are all entitled to our opinions.

  I'm naturally sociable, so I'll shoot the shit with most reasonable (as in not too drunk or obnoxious)people in a bar or SC, but prefer mostly just to deal with the ladies. However, I once struck up a conversation with a guy about my age at a now-defunct club (the Porcelin Dollhouse in Canton)who was sitting at a table, drinking a soda, and working at a laptop. My curiousity got the best of me and I sat down to find out what was more interesting than the titties on display. As it turned out, he was working on a PhD dissertation (so was I) on some sort of rail transportaiton project and was all about implimenting his ideas. He was long-winded and completely full of shit, but I had a good time chatting with someone with a fully functioning brain, even though it totally killed my letching for the night(saved me money though). I still see him in Diamonds every now and then doing the same thing (I'm not sure whether he ever finished his PhD). I can't figure out why he comes to a SC to do his busy work, since the lighting is bad, the pop is expensive, and he rarely pays any attention to the girls. He is harmless and benign, so nobody complains, but I may be the only person other than the waitresses who actually talk to him. What is most scary is that at a glance, he and I bear a remarkable similarity to one another (same build,long hair & glasses). Fortunately, even in the dark, the dancers can tell us apart based on two important things: I'm the nerd with the boner AND and money!!!

  My son, a 21 year old college student, is trying to get into NAVY OCS. I will always buy a dance for a guy in uniform.

  I would be careful talking to other custies. You never know who it can be or if just their looking to horn in on your girl. IMO they can find their own fun.

  I find myself occasionally talking to the people at the next table... For some reasons bikers always seem to sit in groups near me and strike up conversations... In my opinion it's not a big deal... If you don't want to talk, it's pretty easy to make it clear, most people will respect it.

  jester, If I am on my bike (clothing apparent), I find I get more attention from the dancers, and as you state, if other riders are present, the conversation always starts. But this applies to most any location.

  I'd be curious to hear some followup from PAS about his potential job lead. That would be really cool if he ends up getting a new job offer as a result of a stripclub encounter with other customer. Sounds like he'd have an understanding boss!

  I haven't had time to follow up on it yet. He comes in after work every Friday, I'm planning on stopping in tomorrow. I talked to him a little last Friday but not about the job. I'm going to get my ducks in a row over the weekend and go from there. And how cool/weird/funny/fucked up/bizarre would it be to have boss or work with a guy that you got the lead from by sucking the tits of a stripper together?

  potheadpl, I met a guy at a club I used to go to a lot. I don't work in that area much but we became pretty good friends. We used to meet up on Friday at the club, go out and burn a few, come back and bother the strippers, repeat, repeat.
