Strip club ratings v. stripper ratings.

A thread that has since dropped off of this board asked if dancers were aware of this site and its system of rating strip clubs. As I recall, the consensus was that the vast majority of dancers had no such awareness. For some reason, I was thinking about this issue yesterday. I have, on occasion, discussed this board with dancers, and none of them have ever heard of it. The interesting thing, however, is the fact that they initially focus in on the idea that the ratings are given to DANCERS, not to clubs as a whole...and they are uniformly horrified by such a prospect. Once I have assured them that the establishments, not the dancers, are the subject of the numbers, they are OK with it. But I have seen veteran, experienced, worldly, seemingly hardened dancers almost blanch in horror at the idea that they might be graded/ranked/rated.

The human ego is a strange thing.

(From a practical matter, I doubt that such a thing would be possible on a club with a nationwide scope. There are few enough of us who have common experience with the same clubs, let alone individual dancers. Dancers change shifts, change clubs, and-horrors!--change stage names often enough to prevent any widespread dancer ratings. It may be possible on those boards that cast a narrower geographic net.)
