To Dress or Not to Dress
joey2002
Me an my friend were discussing about "can any person tell by way a person dress if they have money?" Then it got me thinking, can a dancer determine if a person have money by the way a person dress? Sometimes perception could be one thing however, it could be another. I would like your opinion on this topic.

Of course there are those days when you could be flashing a Rolex and the girls just don't work the crowd!
Dress for yourself and don't worry about it. If you can afford it like farmerart can, follow Alucard's advice.
I'm with Juice - I go for comfort and ease of access. In a high mileage club, my dick's flopping loose in thin cotton bedroom-type shorts. I've never had a problem and actually, a good percentage of girls appreciate the soft smooth cotton on their velvety twats, instead of rough jeans, zippers, and belt buckles.
On the other hand if we are talking about ordinary lap dances here one thing that will help the degree of contact is wearing soft fabrics. Do you think they are going to like rubbing their soft skin against coarse denim or scratchy wool? Soft fabrics.
Especially once you become known in a club as someone who spends $$$. You could show up in a ratty old bathrobe and still get dancer attention.
Don't ruin my cred!
Target has these black lounge pants that look like regular dress pants, but feel like nothing's there. Very thin, very soft.
LOL. I knew exactly how this thread was going to go the moment I saw it posted and saw little upside in getting involved. In fact, this is the first time that I bothered to open it since it was a few hours old.
But here is my take:
I agree that how one dresses is less relevant if one is a known quantity in a club, either through multiple visits or through spending a great deal of money during a particular visit. However, I am a road hound who visits most clubs only once or twice in a year and I have little interest in dropping a bundle inside most of them before I line up OTC. Being suited up simply helps in short cutting the process.
Imagine the targeting process that occurs when a girl walks out of the dressing room. Let's say she sees 20 guys in the club, 6 of which she knows are either occupied or are some other girls' regulars and 6 of which she knows, through experience, are broke time wasters. So now she is down to 8 unknown guys that she can approach, one of which is dressed in a nice suit and the other 7 of which are in casual clothes. Who do YOU think she is going to approach first?
Now rinse and repeat this scenario several times over and the result is a healthy flow of prospects coming to the suited guy at the bar. ;) OTC can be a game of numbers in some places. Not only are many of my club visits one time shots, but I often only have a couple of hours in which to find a receptive girl and to make the arrangements, so a steady flow of candidates can make all the difference.
Over the years, I have actually tested this theory several times in my road clubs by going in one night in casual clothes and another night in my work suit. In almost every case, the difference in the amount of dancer flow to my seat was quite measurable.
You can do what you want and I'm not saying that every guy needs to get suited up in order to find good prospects, but my gig works well for a road hound like me. :)
@pj, strippers aren't normally rubbing their faces on my suit, so I don't often have this problem. But that it what dry cleaners are for anyway.
"Dress for success. However, there is that misconception that people who don't dress up could have more money than someone who wear a suit."
@joey, it is very possible that someone who looks like a scrub could have more money than any other customer in the club. But strippers, like anyone else, are influenced by appearances. All else being equal, they are likely to focus in on guys who are sitting their in expensive suits while drinking good alcohol (on the rocks of course).
It’s been my experience that older guys sitting by themselves often get the most attention.
The SC world is bizarro world – it cannot really be compared to most real world situations.
@Shadow: I don't know if I could handle the type of attention that you two get. LOL.
I assume you, if anyone, grasps the meaning of my post above.
I dropped into a Red Deer, AB club after an unsuccessful venture to buy a second-hand tractor for my farm. I was packing $20k cash in my grubby overalls for that purchase.
As it happens on that particular day I saw the most gorgeous dancer of my entire time in this hobby. Nothing I could do over four hours of the most pathetic begging would tempt her into going upstairs with me for lap dances. She flat out told me that there was no way in hell that she would give me a lap dance.
I would bet that she had never encountered a customer with that amount of cash in her career as a dancer.
Her loss.
No, Estafador, I am not a farmer. I was raised on a farm and I live on a farm now. I use the the tractor for various chores around my place: cutting grass, prepping my vegetable garden, clearing snow, splitting firewood, etc.
If I ever that I had a "system" or worked for 10 years on anything, please feel free to correct me by pointing it out...
With respect to "saving face", this is not an academic debate. I don't require anyone's validation of what I see and do. Just since joining this site 3 years ago, I've spent 200+ nights in over 100 clubs spread out all over the country. Over the last 15 years, I've spent several hundreds of nights in easily over 200 clubs.
If a hundred screen names (notice I didn't say posters - LOL) posted that appearances don't matter for a guy who (1) is not a known quantity in the club; and (2) has not yet spent a lot of money, then all hundred of them would be wrong, nevermind devoid of common sense. That is my well informed opinion, though anyone else take it or leave it as they see fit.
Btw, a conspiracy requires two or more actual people to be involved. Just thought you might want to have your definitions straight. ;)
But in responding tho this:
"Think your sense of self-importance is a little high if you believe there is that kind of conspiracy against you."
I would never presume to take the credit/blame for being the catalyst for some guy's need to maintain multiple fictional characters on this thing. That is the product of a much deeper psychosis.
It seems that you have become emboldened recently, no doubt by the fact that you finally managed to post something that resembles an authentic review. LOL. But for the complete avoidance of doubt, one real review does not legitimize your comments, it just means that might have actually managed to visit one club and to post a real review to accompany several fraudulent ones. ;)
It is truly amazing how Dougster has this continuing need to prove himself an asshole on TUSCL.
