RL's Rules

This is basically a message to RL, who seems to be on a crusade against a non-problem. If you go into a club with the attitude you can or will date the strippers you are asking to be scammed.

AN: the underlying point you are trying to make is good, however, the factual errors hurt your credibility:

Strippers WILL sometimes give their real name and phone number to customers they just met. Contrary to popular belief "picking up" strippers even when they are at work is not even close to being impossible. Typical tactics that work against "hot chicks" WILL, in fact, work against strippers. The fact that they are working does not change the fact that they are women with romantic interests like anyone else. If you are extremely attractive you can get numbers and dates from them, even after a first meeting where you don't buy anything from them. (In fact I conjecture that the latter is the best way to have a good chance of success.)

(Needless to say not all strippers are available for dating: a) some have hard and fast rules about never dating customers (this is especially true of ones who hate themselves and/or their job)
b) most already have boyfriends (despite what they will tell you), and
c) if you are a regular you look pathetic to begin with...)

Finally it is well known that many (including many posters here) have, indeed, dated or formed lifelong friendship with strippers. Strippers have even married customers they met at work.

So you reword your argument to emphasis the good underlying points, drop the factual errors, and post again.
