O.k. I was suckered:-)

After more than 25 years of playing with dancers I fell for the " I can't pay my rent" story. WE all know the drill" My roommate lost her job and the rent is due and we are going to be kicked out." I can not say I was suckered as much as gave in. I guess one time in 25 years is not too bad.

Shadow, it is hard to properly express the clubbing culture up there. There is a lot of money chasing a limited supply of dancers and guys go into those places with one testicle already cut off. Part of it has to do with highly restrictive club environments and part has to do with other broader cultural factors in play.
But I still would have made her earn it. ;)
Other times, I do crazy crap and don't get kicked out.
But IME; helping out dancers even w/o strings attached had led to repeated requests for help and me being played or attempted to be played.
IME; getting involved w/ dancers for anything more than p4p is a losing proposition.
Chain, nothing strange about it actually. She had the choice of giving you 20+ minutes of dances, during which time she'd have to allow you some of that "heavy mileage" you were talking about, or she could get $150 for doing nothing. She chose the latter. Very simple math, especially since you are not a regular at the club and will be easy to avoid in the future. After all, you don't actually expect that "loan" to be repaid, do you? ;)
LOL. In any event, $150 is a small price to pay for a lesson learned with these girls. I've paid tuition bills far higher over the years, as I'm sure have many others around here.
Man, only 150 in 25 years. I think that is almost miraculous in this hobby.
