Does anyone here really care if they are "respected" by strippers?

Survey time. A lot of the RL/davids posts deal with gaining the respect of strippers. In some cases nowdays, respect is used interchangably with courtesy. They are not interchangable. We all expect courtesy from strippers. We all should extend courtesy to others ITC and OTC. Now for respect. Enough of the RL/davids posts use the proper definition of respect to allow us to surmise that the respect of strippers is important to him. What do you think? Thoughts on the respect of strippers.
I will say for my part I don't really care until the girl is a regular. Up to that point her opinion of me as a person (other than the natural desire we all have to be liked) is not something that really crosses my mind. I'd have to add in the interests of full disclosure that I feel this way OTC as well. I don't really care what most people think of me until they are friends.

(This isn't in response to any of the AN/davids back-and-forth, whatever that's about.)
I explained exactly when and why respect is important and when it isn't. Calm down, go back, read again.
As for the mileage thing: The question was who gets higher mileage regulars or big spenders. Yeah, I have no doubt that mileage will increase for regulars over time, but I have different ideas why (it's not the trust/father figure crap). In that thread I offered the opinion that a savy high roller will be able to get better mileage than regulars: from the very same girl.
Anyway, this thread is about respect not mileage. Regulars lose not gain respect by spending money.
Respect is important for establishing friendships. Friendships or even respect w/o friendship build "social proof" within the social system, thus making it easier to make new friends. According to theory with enough social proof it should then be easier to date the girl you want (haven't got to that point yet though: hey, I'm new to all this). So respect matters in that sense. Also I would prefer to have someone respect me then not respect me given the social implications.
HOWEVER, I am not going to work on winning respect UNLESS it is someone I genuinely want to be friends with anyway. If respect happens as a likely side effect with the others then fine, otherwise it's not something worth worrying about.
