In recent threads discussing dance/VIP prices with a dancer who seemed convinced her time was worth $30 to $40 for a lapdance, it got me thinking. What are reasonable lapdance prices?
Well, first thing you want to consider is federal and state minimum wage laws. Right now, minimum wage generally averages around $8 per hour. Some are $7, some are over $9, but let's use $8 for talking.
This means that for generally unskilled labor, with little training or education, you pay them at least $8 for every hour they work. As people become more valuable, by having additional skills or training, their worth goes up and so does their pay. Generally...
So lets' look at strippers. What skills and abilities do they need to possess? Well, the primary criteria for being a stripper are that you look halfway decent, and you are willing to dance in skimpy outfits in front of men. That's about it. No high school diploma, no special skills or abilities, no education or training requirements. Basically as unskilled and untrained as you can get. And as we've seen, you don't even have to know how to dance. But if you're unattractive, you probably won't get a job as a stripper. It's all about looks.
So we can start by assuming stripping is a no-skill job, and at minimum wage rates of $8 per hour, each minute of the strippers time should be worth about 13 cents. Let's say 15 cents per minute just to round it off.
So a 3 minute lap dance should cost about 45 cents, based on an unskilled job at standard minimum wage rates.
However, some people are willing to pay upwards of $40 for those same 3 minutes. That is 90 times the minimum wage. And a 30 minute VIP at, say, $400 is 100 times the minimum wage.
Hmm....interesting. And keep in mind, these are prices that don't necessarily involve what many/most of those men really want, which is some sort of sexual activity.
So where do women get this idea that they have golden pussies which deserve these outrageous wages? Simple. It's because men are stupid, especially when an attractive woman is standing in front of them. Women, who generally consider themselves as princesses, and the holders of the world's precious wonders, can get away with acting like they're possessors of golden pussies because stupid men fall for it.
So guys, next time you pay a dancer 90 times the reasonable rate for a few minutes of a stripper's time, ask yourself if you feel kinda stupid.
Got something to say?
