Thirty seconds after sitting at the bar at a local club, a dancer sat next to me that was far past the point when she should have changed careers. Emphasis on "far". Had to be deep into her forties and, unfortunately, aging had not been kind to her.
With desperation in her voice, the dancer told me she was working a double and was desperate to earn money to pay for rent. I believed her. The torture of trying to be sexy when that was no longer possible was written all over her. I've gotten countless mercy dances, but this time I did not tip or get any dances.
Do any of you get dances in this situation? Also, why do clubs allow dancers far past their prime to work at the club?
Right or wrong, this will probably influence where I go clubbing as I have a lot of options in my area.
No I do not give dances under like circumstances and the reason owners let them work is solely to collect the house fee.
