Common dancer tactics to figure out how much money you have?
What exactly are the common dancer tactics to figuring out how much money you have to spend? I'm used to the ones where they ask if you're married and then what is your job. I figure this will give a clue as to if you should have money to spend.
Some may think of it as chit chat but I see a hidden purpose. I had one dancer recently try a bit further unless it really was just chit chat. She mentioned someone else going into the engineering profession and only making a salary in the 20,000 range. Maybe I heard something wrong since the music was so loud. However that seems like a poverty level not an engineer's salary. I failed to give out info on what I consider to be a normal engineer's salary which I think this dancer was trying to determine. I suppose outside of the strip club scene I might have given it to her but inside a strip club with a new dancer it seems more like sneaky questions.

Strange how it all centers on means of transportation.
I believe she already had the money to pay for it but was a bit depressed about the $500 out of pocket and all the hassle and having to get up early to deal with all of it. She said she only had 1 hr of sleep one night. Me, I'm wondering who would really be at fault if the guy was speeding through the parking lot and the policeman agreed to that. It doesn't seem her insurance should have to pay but I don't know about that kind of situation. I didn't spend any more money than I normally do. I did get her laughing at some funny stories I told her.
To me it's almost like a second-layer of questioning when later (after a few visits) it upgrades to how long have you been working in this job? did you retire from the military? are you a supervisor? how many employees? etc. Bless their hearts, we love 'em.
I guess part of why I get known as a desirable customer, is that I'm not a clueless young boy any more.
Like Bones says, the first big piece of intel she wants to know is if you buy dances, then if you're going to buy one from her. Assessing your earnings situation would be overcomplicating the issue. Whatever sizing up she does happens before she decides to approach you.
PPS -- how do I let dancers know I'm willing to spend? Flash a wad of cash (not so wildly that someone might pick my pocket or roll me in the parking lot) and throw around a lot of dollar tips. The waitress always gets a dollar, or two, extra over the cost of a beer (especially if observed by a dancer who needs to know I'm a spender). At a club that has typical dollar stage tipping, I'll get a typical dollar stage tip and either do it wht a $5 instead of a $1 (where are those $2s we were talking about!), or add a second $1 as an "afterthought" as I leave the stage after she's done being up close and personal.
How do I let 'em know I'm willing to spend? I spend.
But the story about "entrapment"? No, a cop on an assignment doesn't have to admit he's a cop on an assignment. That's the whole PREMISE of under-cover masquerading. Cops are allowed to take drugs, sell them, engage in ... well, you know. As long as they can make a case for it being part of an "ongoing investigation" or "gathering evidence," they don't have to say BOO when someone asks if they're a cop or not. That's a myth, an old wive's tale.
Another myth that circulates among prostitutes is that a police officer isn't allowed to show her his willy. So, they may ask you to whip it out and wave it around, to prove you aren't a cop. Why shouldn't a cop show his willy? He's allowed.
But I have no trouble leaving the naive girls misabused. They don't need to have their misapprehensions corrected ...
Willingness to spend and ability to spend I very much understand. I remember a time when I would have been willing to spend a lot of my discretionary income but now I'm not so willing to spend as much.
Yank, I'm not a cop or a lawyer, but I know for sure that is not entrapment. I leave it to a professional to explain why.
