How Do You Let Down A Favorite Without Pissing Her Off
tenisbum1776
Have a favorite that I'm just tired of getting dances from. I enjoy talking with her and would like to retain her friendship and certainly don't want her "poisoning the water" for me with the other girls in the club. She basically pressures me into a "3 for $50" dance every time I go to the club and it's becoming like a tax. I'm actually starting to avoid going to the club because I know she will be there every night. This might be a stupid question but is there any way I can let her know I'm done dancing wityh her without having her get upset? I can't think of one but I'm willing to learn from the experience on this group and am ready to ignore the sophmoric comments of those who choose to ridicule.

A situation like that cannot go on indefinitely so at some point one needs to do what they need to do.
A simple “not tonight baby†should suffice – and if she asks why then just be honest and say you always get dances from her and that you want to get dances from other dancers.
There is nothing wrong with that and dancers know this is part of the game/biz – only the desperate ones or the ones w/ bad attitudes will give you grief over it but one should not want to deal w/ these in the 1st place.
My main question for you is, are you sure she'll poison the waters for you in that club? Maybe she'll be OK with it. But you know better than I would, obviously. If she will, then I don't know of an easy way to let her down. Maybe wean her off of your money, like get one dance instead of three for $50. Then eventually just tip her $10 for hanging around or something. I don't know, I'm not saying it's a perfect fix, but it may at least ease the pain of getting your rep sullied at your favorite club, if it is your favorite I mean.
@grand: you're preaching to the choir brother. My xATF continues to get me the 'why are you mad at me" BS even though cutting her off has absolutely nothing to do with being mad at her.
I haven't found a way. When you reject a woman, she gets upset. The amount of drama will depend on the dancer. If I've tired of a dancer, I try to let her down easy by gradually getting fewer dances each time I see her. This reduces the chances of a heavy blow up, but it extends the pain and gives her more opportunities to lay a guilt trip on you.
You definitely have to keep the gloves on when negotiating for the intimate services of a woman. But it's still a negotiation, so you need to have you're bottom line where you'll walk away from the deal. In a SC, that means you may end up spending the night just enjoying the stage show, because you don't get offered any dances that you want. All you can do is stage tip the dancers you like, and be sure to tell them you'd like a dance when they have time for you.
True or not, strippers, like I believe most salespeople, think that people generally can be talked into a sale with the right pitch. Salespeople generally have the mutual courtesy of not starting their pitch with a custy in the middle of someone else's. Or even being the wingman (wingwoman?) for a ongoing pitch. But the courtesy cuts both ways, a dancer can't claim she's still trying to pitch a custy, even a former regular, forever. The exception is if the dancer is stockier and/or has a violent temper, then she may intimidate the other dancers into staying away from you.
If they give me shit about them liking me so much and me being a fave of theirs; then I just tell them “hey if you want to dance for me so badly you can dance for me for free†– i.e. it’s all about the $$$ and sometimes you just have to call them out on it.
My favorites usually aren't ticked off if I don't want dances from them, just disappointed. Just the other day I told one new favorite no thanks, no longer a favorite after her last dance a couple of weeks ago, not going to tell her anything, another I just told her not tonight, she's getting used to it. Another cf I just skipped out on.
I don't see that I owe the dancers anything if they weren't waiting on me for any reason. Some nights I just get more than enough dancers trying to dance for me. I can get picky and just say no to several.
Who else shall I make re-appear?
Juice.
I'm lucky my ATF is cool when I go for a set with my #2; I was nervous the first time I did that when they were both working. My #2 said, "I don't want you to piss off (ATF)" and I said I'll take that chance. Turns out my ATF was cool about it; after all she has other regulars too.
It's YOUR money to spend as you like. Never forget that!
1. Keep paying the tax.
2. Avoid the club for a while.
3. Piss her off and risk her badmouthing you.
IMO - Paying the tax can come right off the table. That's total BS. The other two options are basically the same, but even in the worst case of #3 its pretty easy to fix by spending a few bucks on other strippers and not being a complete asshole.
So, I'd tell her nicely you weren't interested. Things like "looking to mix it up" or "just watching the show" today tend to be less offensive. She may be friendly with the other girl you've got your eye on, but I'm almost certain if you tip her on stage and clearly tell her you'd like a dance/room/whatever she will come see you no matter what the first girl says to her. Like rockstar said, a number of girls will certainly take it as an opportunity when they hear your old fave badmouthing you. They've seen you coming in and spending on her regularly - they know that could be them at least for a while. Absolute worst case, you fall to #3 and go back in a month. If its anything like the clubs here they'll be some new girls and its almost like starting over.
I was there on Sunday and XXXXX was sitting at the table with me. I approached a girl dancing on stage that I liked and asked her to join me. She never came over. I finally told XXXXX I wasn't interested in a dance that night and gave her $50 for her "time" and she left without complaint.
Later the girl that I approached on stage came up and sat down at the table. When I asked her why she didn't come over before she said, "Well, I saw you were sitting with XXXXX and I know she doesn't like people trying to steal her customers".
I'm fucked.
I've never had OTC with XXXXX although she has made it clear that it is available for me if I wanted. I'm beginning to believe that saying to XXXXX that she is not getting any more dances from me and accepting the short term consequences is the only way out. She certainly feels free to investigate other revenue sources while I'm in the club. She's just going to have to get used to not getting a cut from me.
