Bullshit Excuses from Intimidated Customers
Subraman
Car key and wallet dating your sister
I realize I'm mostly preaching to the choir here, but a recent SW thread brings up some of my feelings about being intimidated by strippers, feeling like you have to make up lies and excuses for not wanting to dance with her -- in fact, thinking you owe her any excuse at all other than "no thanks", etc.

The only variation of this I've gotten is the "I'm out of cash".
Me in high-pitched dumb blonde voice: "Thats what the ATM is for, silly!"
Him: "Oh... I only have a credit card/maxed out my daily withdrawal, sorry"
Me: "That's okay, we do cash advances at the bar!"
And then I give them this little "I know what you're doing, dude" look. Coupled with the 'stupid stripper' voice, their resulting expression is hilarious.
I've made $$ off this, usually by just being pushy/intimidating with a wishy-washy customer.
But when it fails, I at least succeed in making the customer feel like I've called his BS and 9/10 times, they leave shortly after.

Haha I'm right there with Selina. I do a lot of leading to the ATM and wallet checks. "Look you have $30 left! You can do one dance!" *smile* Be aggressive! Half the time they give in, the other half of the time they just leave from embarrassment. Win-win!

I normally be sweet for about 10 seconds and then call them out. "I know that's a lie. I'm a stripper I can smell bullshit a mile away. If you don't want a dance from me just be a man and say so."

And on and on it goes. I actually agree with Stripper #3. If you don't want a dance just say "no thanks", no reason to make up an excuse, as you can see graphically above you're not "hurting their feelings" by being direct and honest, and not sparing their feelings by making up some bullshit excuse, it just elicits contempt for your spinelessness, and can lead to the kinds of interactions above, if the stripper just feels like messing with you. You don't owe her any excuse, I do NOT answer "Why not?" or any other followup questions from the strippers although if I feel like it I might play with them back, and a 110 pound 20-year-old girl whose life led her to be a stripper should not intimidate you.

I used to cave in.
Now I just play with them back.
Me: "Oh, so there's an ATM machine that will charge me $20 to take out $40? Why didn't I think of using that before you suggested it?"
Or,
'Me: "Cool. There's an ATM here. I'm sure you can withdrawal some money then from YOUR checking or credit card account then, right? Why would I want to use mine here?"
I always put my money in my front pocket also to avoid the "you have money in your wallet, I just saw you pay for your drink" SS line....
And if I don't want a dance, I WILL say so now. Comes with experience with a lot of different personality types in the SC.
At some point, I figured out that a polite "no thanks" is the best policy, it doesn't hurt her feelings, I don't owe her any excuse anyway, and it gives her less to grab onto if she wants to go into the weak-customer-interrogation-process. Still, a cunty stripper can turn anything into an insult, so the next thing I adopted was a "I won't answer any questions" policy. If she asked me "why not?", I'd politely but more forcefully no-thank her, or if I felt like playing with her, I'd answer her question with a question of my own, and make her answer MY questions instead... but never lose control of the conversation. If I can't out-verbal-judo a 20-year-old, then I'm done for :) And along the way, I just stopped being intimidated ... I don't even find these interactions unpleasant or stressful in the least anymore, I'm relaxed and confident and handle it graciously.
Didn't happen overnight, but starts with realizing you don't owe her any excuses at all, and refusing to let her verbally bully you -- like Cesar Milan, just get them into a state of calm submission quickly, or let them leave and find weaker customers -- win/win.
Yup, that will do it. Message sent and received . . .
Classy and effective. I use a similar tactic when necessary.
But I like to pick the girl, so I orchestrate the situation. The more aggressive the girls are the better, but I still orchestrate it so I am clearly making the selection myself.

Being a regular at a club, the challenge is saying "yes, I know you gave me a decent bbbj in VIP two weeks ago but I don't want a dance from you today"
One time I kept telling all the dancers I just got there. It worked for about 2 hours until one dancer told me I said that 2 hours ago. lol. Then I just told her maybe later.
Sometimes I don't mind them coming back.
Most of the time where I club now, dancers ask if I'm interested in company at my table so I either get rid of them right away or decide to talk to her for a few minutes.
I get that. "No thanks" is reserved for women I don't know. If a stripper has seriously done right by me -- taking my uncovered cock in her mouth would certainly qualify as "done right" -- it's completely different. I'm not going to "no thanks" her. But a stripper with whom you've sessioned is not going to pull the humiliate-the-customer routine as described above anyway, at least IME.
BTW, that Stripperweb thread is great. Notice how it drifted from hustling "bullshit excuse" guys to just harassing any guys (The Rule of 3) who won't say yes to a dance? And trying to get guys who turn them down to leave the club? lol
That should be in the “SCing 101” handbook for newbie and/or inexperienced PLs.
1) strippers are worse than used car salesman or ARM home loan brokers. Expect the to want a lot for very little. It's nothing personal, they ate looking for suckers it's their fucking job.
2) Never ever get tricked into thinking Rule #1 doesn't apply to you
3) If for any reason you befriend a stripper, go back a memorize rule #1
4) it's your money spend it how you want...
Lancer, maybe you can be our test case! Why don't you like turning down a girl outright? I can understand leaving the door open with girls you're not sure about yet (although "not right now" seems to be universally despised/disrespected by the strippers, so I'd go with almost anything else, but I do understand keeping the door open), but I"m certain there are at least some girls you know right away you won't ever want dances with. Is it that you're just uncomfortable saying no, for some reason? What will happen to you if you say "no thanks" instead, other than not wasting some strippers time when/if they come back to you again?
I don't think "not right now" is a bullshit excuse the way "I'm out of money" is, but I think still does indicate a bit of fear of the strippers
In the first case, my buddy and I were sitting in the club, this stripper who was known to be ornery asks us if we want a dance, we each say "no thanks", and she asks if we're from the Castro (known as a "gay neighborhood"). The two of us looked at each other, burst out laughing, stripper scowled and stomped off.
In the second case, a stripper asked me if I wanted a dance, and I (against my current rule of never owing the stripper any excuse, beyond "no thanks") replied that I was waiting for someone, she asked who I was waiting for, I replied (again, against my current rule of never answering any questions after I decline) with the name of the stripper I was waiting for (Maria). Well, Maria was brand new to the club, and this grizzled veteran stripper hadn't met her yet, so she replies "There's no Maria here. You're a fucking liar." !!!! It was so over the top that I just starting laughing out loud, pretty hard; she got a furious look on her face and walked off, she NEVER looked my way again.
Anyway, in both of those cases, the laughter wasn't forced, the girls' responses were just so over-the-top that I truly thought it was hysterical. And in a way, although I had every right to get pissed, I think laughing works WAY better -- the girls obviously wanted to upset me with their replies, and instead of ruining my night, they just ended up getting infuriated. I think being relaxed rather than intimidated around strippers really helps you come up with better ways to respond to their rudeness -- even the over-the-top ones rarely get me irritated anymore, I can usually own them and send them stomping off, in most cases
The tricky part is when she's OK, but you're still hoping someone else will come along that you find more attractive. I've never figured out a politic way of dealing with that case. If you say maybe later, they generally will never offer you a dance again as long as they remember you, or drama out in some fashion if you spend all your money on other dancers you are more interested in.
I didn't know strip clubs went by the slang term “syrup clubs” - learn something new everyday :)
Ooh, so intimidating.
