Regulars Still Make Mistakes Too: What are Your's

Okay, many of the articles and discussions about club etiquette and practices seem to focus on what us more experienced clubbers have witnessed or experienced and how they "should" act accordingly. But I know that even myself, I still struggle with certain aspects of the strip club experience and here's a discussion for all the regulars to expose themselves (please not literally) and their own struggles and weaknesses when it comes to strip club activities.
And maybe some of the "regular regulars" can offer some of their advice.
Here are my examples:
1) I'm still nervous when I enter a club. Now, part of this is that I tend to go to different clubs each time...but still, I don't yet have that "comfortability" when I walk in a club.
2) I have trouble "pacing myself". It seems like I always try to bring $80-$280 with me...and try to stretch it into a 6 hour extravaganza. I tell myself, "Get a look at all the dancers, THEN pick the one or two you want to get dances with...there's no hurry!" But each time, I end up getting dances from the first few strippers that show up at my table...and by about 2 hours I've blown through $400 and at that point am REALLY willing to spend money because I want to try and get dances with the girls I really like or I wanna get extras.
3) Part of the problem, is I have trouble turning down women for dances and even drinks. If a stripper walks up to me and wants to give me a dance, I have so much trouble saying "no thanks". I had one stripper sit next to me for a good 20 minutes...we barely talked...I knew what she wanted...but I wasn't interested. Finally after 20 minutes she kinda got up and left and I felt really bad. I'm still not at that point where I can just dismiss a girl coldly and not think twice about it. And having them sit there...it's almost painful.
4) Even with the "do you want to buy the dancer a drink" hustle...I KNOW it's a hustle...but I almost can't say "no". More than half the time, the dancer doesn't even drink it. It's just a scam to get us to buy more drinks.
5) I'm still nervous about "extras". It still feels weird. Afterwards I'm not sure what to say or how to act. I still have that, "I can't believe that just happened" feeling.
6) Finally, still not at the level of OTC nor "Regular" status. I don't usually go to the same club over and over; like to sample numerous places. So being a "regular" has never been something I've experienced. And also, I've only once had a stripper offer to "exchange information" to maybe get together outside the club (OTC). I didn't even consider taking her up on that because she had just got done hustling me and essentially ripping me off...so I had no interest in pursuing that relationship. But in all the times I've been out at clubs...that was the only time it was ever offered. I think she did it because:
A) She probably ROUTINELY does it...it's likely a busy side job for her.
B) She figured, "Wow...I totally hustled this guy out of $230...I should take a crack at him again for sure!"
Well, that's all I can think of right now.
Got something to say?
