I am often amazed when reading stories on this board, TUSCL and others, about guys that feel the need to “save†dancers. In fact, some of these guys even have the audacity to do it after girls have been their laps for some time, or even when the girls performed “other services†for them.
The theory, of course, is that she is doing this because she has somehow been damaged. He, quite naturally, is that special guy that can pull her out of the pit of darkness and help her see the light of clean living.
Where does this savior complex come from? And if she is that damaged, which I don't necessarily believe (at least in all cases), then what does it say about him that he was enjoying the fruits of it moments before?

Bit of history-the United States, isolated from a european continent that had known more than an eon of war, tried in the early 20th century, to avoid yet, another, european war. But when US shipping and trade suffered, we jumped in, both feet, and fully involved ourselves in the war.
Twenty years later, again, we tried, again, to avoid, yet another, european war. When Japan sucked us in, we contributed 100 percent of our national effort to end the war.
Our heroes include The Lone Ranger, John Wayne, and Dirty Harry. We eat, sleep, and live being the White Knight. It is what we do. You might as well ask us why we breathe.
