Talking with other customers
Philip A. Stein
I walk in and head to the bar and I sit down next to some guy. The spot obviously wasn't taken but as I'm getting there, he says, "Go ahead, no one is sitting there." I'm thinking, "thanks, douche bag." I probably should have said it out loud as he drafted me to be his wingman.
I get my drink and dude has rolled his napkin up and stuffed it in his beer bottle. He asks if I'll watch his spot, WTsimpleF? The place is ¾ empty.
He goes and tips a couple strippers over on the side stage and is coming back. He shrugs and tilts his head as to jester he didn't how it went, maybe good maybe bad. As if I give a fuck.
A few minutes later, one of those strippers comes our way but stops at a table and sits down. He turns to me and says, "well that sucks." After a few more minutes, a fugly chick heads straight to the pilot. She's all over him. This is when a wingman is supposed to take one for the team. So I got up and went to the other end of the bar. Dude was just annoying.
So at the other end of the bar, I'm sitting beside a barfly. He's friendly with the staff and the strippers. Nice guy. We talk and one of my favs comes by after being on stage. Still with her top off and in between us, we suck her tits together. The bartender rolls her eyes.
After talking some more, dude gives me a lead on a job where he works. It sounds like a great opportunity, right in my field, sound like good pay, good place to work, family owned. I'll chase the lead next week.
Anyway, it was weird. One guy was a dolt and the other was cool. Anyone else have odd encounters with out custies?

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.
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).
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.
PSA said he doesn't go to talk to others.
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.
"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.
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.
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.
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?
