We need a new name for this

In the club she is an entertainer. If you actually have a friendly relationship outside the club she is a friend. If you have both then she is a "friendly entertainer".

I don't think it's a problem that will keep me awake nights.

Correction: Perhaps there are superior neologisms . . .

Hi Fondl,

Thank you, but now we have a more serious problem. :)

In referring to NAMELESS STRIPPER FRIENDSHIP should it now be referenced as NAMELESS STRIPPER BUDDYSHIP or NAMELESS STRIPPER BUDDYDOM or something else?

Be forewarned "buddyship" and "buddydom" are neologisms of me imagination. Perhaps there superior neologisms . . .

I have no problem with "friend" except that in the stripper context it is so overused that I think it has developed a negative connotation. Girls must really get tired of customers asking "Do you think of me as a friend or as just a customer?" and similar. Nine times out of ten she's going to answer "friend" and it has no meaning. I just finished playing raquetball with a friend. My relationship with him is nothing at all like the relationship that I have with a girl I visit regularly, yet ours is clearly more than a business relationship. I think Kyle has the right word: "buddy." It perfectly describes a relationship with a nearly-nude girl who sits on my lap regularly and tell me all about what's going on in her life and vice-versa, yet I probably don't even know her name and maybe never will. I'm going to use "buddy" from now on. Thanks Kyle.

Honestly, as long as both parties understand the context involved, I think "friend " works just fine.

For my two cents, friend covers it nicely.

How about "friendly provider."

Hi Shadowcat,

Hi Shadowcat,

Sounds too cold.

I like the term friend or buddy. It is accurate and honest.

Fav and ATF come to mind immediately.
