  I don't have those kind of problems. I very rarely give out my phone number to any stripper. And I was advised on another thread about the dangers of prepay.

  gawker, you have inspired me. I'm heading out now to donate money to my local strippers.

  Are they really selling their "pride and bodies" or just their promises? I don't know, but I suspect that you're going to experience some seriously high default rates. ;) Over the years I've had a number of girls try to rope me into these ambiguous SD "help me out now and I'll take care of you tomorrow" situations. No gracias. I have always believed that the ones who are serious about earning the money are willing to get on the pay-as-you-go plan. I've seen and heard too many of these things result in nothing except wasted time and money, but experiences differ I suppose. Good luck.

  Thanks for reminding me why it's a bad idea to give out your phone number too freely.

  @gawker - did the ex boyfriend literally shit on her? That would be traumatic.

  Ime - I was not present, thank God, but I suppose it could be just taking the golden shower one step further. She has.gone on and on about his "public humiliation", but maybe I misheard. It might have been a pubic humiliation.

  If you had the foresight to pick up a burn phone for communicating with crazy ass ho's, your loss would be about $30.

  Yeah sounds a LOT like the strippers I know. Short on rent, had same exact thing with shoes as you. It's hard time in Stripperville right now. Heck I went to take one to work Sunday and the club didn't even open even though theanagee was bugging her to come in! Went to a second club she works at...also closed! Third club in the area ALSO closed (but this was for renovations).

  Of the three strippers you mentioned, you only actually helped the second one, and that was $100. (if I'm reading your story correctly). And, she is making repeated $100. requests, it seems. I suggest you cut your losses at that point and don't help her any longer or either of the other two. After having been burned by several "dancers in distress," I highly advocate not spending any money to help them out, unless you immediately get something yourself in return, for doing so (like an OTC session). Like Shadow commented, don't pay in advance for anything. I did that a few times, and only had success once. That same dancer later burned me for $100. Dancers are not to be trusted with "loans." If you *give* them money, you'll very likely not be appreciated for it. You'll probably not get anything special in return in the future.

  there are two girls who always need a magical $600 in rent money. I always tell them that sounds tough wish I could help. Have to keep it in the club with some girls. It's too bad because they are both adorable but they think i'm a dumb sap.

  “… are destitute and have fallen on hard times …” Hey – it may be ok to help someone out of a jam (dancer or not) IMO. The thing w/ dancers is that they “are destitute and have fallen on hard times” quite often/repeatedly – not only do they often keep coming back w/ tales of despair but often times they may not actually even be in the situation they are describing and are just hitting you for $$$ for who knows what reason (would not even doubt if their SOs put them up to/encourage it).

  Money given to a dancer is thrown away. You have chances for better ROI with a slot machine.

  I have had the tough times story from strippers as well..no more than average of just random acquiantances and people I know..but I have to say that their stories are the most entertaining

  I have wired funds to my ATF few times and I don't regret it. After a while, however, she began to send sob stories a couple of times a month. I finally sent her a terse text warning that if she asked be for money one more time I would block her number on my phone and she would never see me again. It worked. I still see her occasionally (when I want to) and I may or may not give her any funds. I genuinely enjoy her company and will still see her unless she goes back into beg mode.

  If you have a LARGE disposable bankroll with NOTHING else to do with it, why not? Otherwise...!

  @ gawker, was the story about an ex-BF shitting on her figurative or literal? If the latter that is seriously fucked up (unless it was a consensual hot Karl). @ slick, I always ask myself "what would Jerry Garcia do?" Much better than "what would Jesus do?"

  Rick Dugan - the only time I got ripped off was one time when my ATF went to Hawaii, had a motorcycle accident, couldn't work and hit me up for money over a 3 month period and said shed work off the $3000 I forwarded to her over a couple of months. When she got back she convinced me it was a gift. Ill agree to most anything when my dick is in her mouth.
