2016 Pathetic Loser of the Year
Daddillac
Atlanta
I would like to nominate myself as the PL of the year. I went to Flashers in Sandy Springs a couple years ago. I was married and going through a brutal divorce. I met a beautiful dancer named Jamie (stage name). I began to be a regular of hers. Being a regular of hers means that I paid $100 a half hour for the room and about 2,000 to her personally for the visit, I would usually arrive at 1 and leave at 6, so about a 1,000 dollar bar/room tab. So visiting her was 3,000 a visit on average. I did this twice a week for about 4 months. Finally I talked her into meeting outside the club. At that point we negotiated 4,000 a week and we would meet a few times a week, maybe have sex twice. This went on for about 2 years. I made the mistake of falling in love, an emotional relationship is so much tougher than a physical one. I really loved her and could see myself marrying her. However as I was nearing the end of my divorce my discretionary funds ran out, you all know what happened next. She was out the door in a day. Now I’m sitting here having lost my best friend, I am the most Pathetic Loser of the year…. Can anybody top that?

I think I was looking for the void that my divorce was causing and she filled that void, it was more than just sex. At least that is what my counselor tells me.
However I must warn everyone... Stay away from Flashers, Like shadow says it is a shithole and can be an expensive one at that
As far as her stage name I imagine she has changed that, most of them change it more often than they change their life stories
So this happened a few years ago or this year?
I have contemplated buying the club, having it torn down and building a gas station. I called my lawyer about it this morning. I figure then I can recoup the money that way and I wont have to look at that club when I drive by
The only thing that distinguishes you from many other PLs is the amount of money you spent. Since you say you can afford it, I don't believe you are the pathetic loser of the year. That award belongs to some other guy who was duped but who spent more than he could afford.
As far as it being made up, look at my history, you can see that I have been fairly calm.... except that review of Flashers on 11/7, where I trashed Jamie. that was a couple days after the break up and I was going stir crazy
Your story sounds like it could be LarryDouchebag telling it, but you come across as sympathetic.
Larry also claims to throw away thousands of dollars.
He is the PL of the year though, he'said just the Loser of the Year.
I meant
He is not the PL of the Year though, he's just the Loser of the Year.
But I got over it, and I learned to keep a healthy skepticism about strippers. I've had a number of favorites who have said they loved me, for what that's worth. Love is a four-letter word.
Let's just say I can relate to your story. It's still fresh enough for you as you are still going through it. It took me a good 2 to 3 years to recover in a very similar circumstance. When you fall down that rabbit hole, it can seem like you'll never get out.
All I can tell you is... it does get better. It took me a couple years, but I got through it and am back on my feet and loving life again. Fall down 7 times, get up 8. Just don't give up. It does get better. Good luck.
For me the best thing was to work on myself, working out, vacations, and making an assload of money. The best "revenge" is to live a good life without her. I know my girl is scratching the bottom of the barrel with her loser boyfriend. They deserve each other, a lying whore and a pimp bum. I've only been able to feel anger towards her in the past few weeks, but I think it's a huge step in moving on.
Hang in there.
Not sure if it was mentioned, but what was your age in relation to her? I'm not going to roast you about it, but hope that you did indeed learn from it.
Their lying makes life bearable for PLs.
It's better to buy a chastity belt (or dick lock) and live as a monk than to keep obsessing why she doesn't love you.
That's just cold, cold, cold on her part. I can only imagine she'd be running back to you in a time of need since in a month she was getting what some people make a year. Knowing that you should ask/prepare yourself to not give in.
I'm still a monger who has a strict budget and a very healthy skepticism of the club ladies. They just want my money, and I just want their bodies.
A Genie once was getting ready to grant a man anything he wanted.
The man thought: "I'd like a bridge to Hawaii, so I could drive there instead of having to fly there."
The Genie said: "That's impossible. Don't you know the logistics of building a bridge to Hawaii would be too difficult? Think of how long that would take? How much money and labor? It would take forever to build. How about a different wish?"
The man thought about it, finally said: "My wife says I'm too difficult, lazy and don't talk enough. So I'd like to be able to figure out a woman's mind and what it is she truly wants in a man."
The Genie thought about it, and after a few seconds said: "Would you want that bridge to Hawaii to be 2 lanes? Or 4 lanes?"
This thread needs to be a sticky thread, for anyone who is falling in love with a stripper.
1) don't hold out for an apology from her, these women are not wired that way, in her mind she didn't do anything wrong and you were responsible for your actions (in her mind) - she may actually even see herself as a victim and that she's had worse things done to her in her life than what she did to you (in het mind)
2) decent chance she may try to hit you up again for $$$ and make-up some dire emergency(s)
As others have said, move on lest you want more of the same treatment since 99% chance she will play you again (leopards don't change their spots) - chicks like these are damaged people and in reality they often can't do any better - good chance she's burned plenty of bridges in her life including family
I wish her well, but buying the club, closing it down, riding over it with a bulldozer, then putting up a gas station is sounding like a good idea
You will still want to go to strip clubs and she'd likely be working at the new one you wind up going to.
Have a drink (bourbon preferably) and just let it go. It doesn't happen overnight but eventually you'll wake up one morning, and will have been a month since you thought about her and then you'll laugh to yourself and say "why the fuck was I all caught up in that skank anyway?"
I've made the mistake of falling in like / lust / kind of love with a stripper who used to be extremely affectionate both on dates (lots of DFK and whatever kind of sex I wanted) and between dates (super-mushy texts with lots of emojis and terms of endearment) but has cooled noticeably over the past several weeks as she has sensed that she's not going to get much more money out of me. As I described it in a PM to a TUSCL friend, our relationship for the past month has been a "slow-motion train wreck that doesn't have the decency to actually crash". Every time I see her "one last time", she's so fun to be with that I chicken out and stay with her (so to speak). The bad news is that I have seriously overpaid her for a relatively small number of dates; the good news is that the number is still in the few thousands, a minuscule fraction of my net worth.
However this ends (and I think I'm seeing her in a little over a week -- "for the last time"!) I have learned two valuable lessons:
1. Never ever get emotionally involved with a stripper. To her, you're just a John -- while she fucks ex-cons and junkies for free!
2. Never ever fucking *ever* advance money to or pay expenses (like rent) for a stripper. Any money she gets from you is hers by divine right with no obligation to provide future services.
I'll add a bonus third valuable lesson:
3. The half-life of a stripper's gratitude is one day. Consequently in 10 days it is at 1/1000 of its original level.
I fired my ATF girl a couple of months ago and while there was far less money involved, I just couldn't put up with her taking me for granted any longer. And she had the finest pussy around. I miss her body but don't miss the OTC stripper shit.
I think you are crazy to even think about buying the club and converting it to a gas station, but if you can afford it, it might just be the best medicine for your condition?
Seriously though, her response to you was ice cold. Thank you would have been a lot more appropriate, since you gave her life changing money.
Like Papi said though, a lot of these women are damaged and don't think rationally. Not all, but a lot.
When you start making money again, she'll come back to money. I'm 100% certain.
Seriously - celebrate the diversity in women. So many times I have concluded sex can't get better only to be delighted with better than best. I see no end in sight - babes will always be incredible.
Holy smokes, Daddillac, that is a lot of coin. No wonder she has no desire to take you back after a month of cutting you lose. If she was smart with her money, she is set and has no pressing financial needs.
It sucks but she had no use for you if you were cutting off the cash. Did you expect to continue hanging out for free?
I have spent a lot on a CF but not to the level of you guys. I am thankful that she at least is decent enough not to make me believe that she loves me or has any affection for me. No heartbreak on my part.
I have broken a lot of strip clubbing rules but not the most important one: Don't fall in love with a stripper.
I think there should be a law where every strip club has a prominent sign that says that.
a) you'd stiil get bummed out over her just from the location alone
b) if she's the only you liked it that club then fucking every dancer in that club would not be an idea that you would even entertain
find another favorite or two from another club(s) asap. this should alleviate the pain a bit quicker. also indulge in a box of godiva. al pacino said that love is overrated - has the same physiological effects as a box of chocolates.
I don't have much experience with women, but these rules have always struck a chord with me, and I think you violated at least a couple of them: https://heartiste.wordpress.com/the-sixt…. I hope that helps and also that you find solace in the new year.
I completely agree.
I wonder, though, if the stripper hasn't already pissed all that money away.
Posting here can be incredibly cathartic, especially when you can't confide things to your friends, when those things are seriously affecting your life and outlook. The fact that this forum is mostly about splooging in your own pants and moving from one city in India to another, probably makes this harder to admit than it should be.
Anyway! I'm not sure there's a lot of advice or perspective to give you, other than sincere sympathy. I made exactly this type of mistake in the couple of years after I got separated, although the magnitude of the problem was severely constrained by the fact that I paid her more like $200/week instead of $4000. Sometimes, it's good to be poor :)
Actually, let met me give you one more perspective from the other side. I am FWB -- that is, genuine good friends, no money exchanged for the sex -- with an x-stripper who got into this type of relationship, and the guy ended up blowing about $30,000 on her in the course of about 2-3 months, and that number doesn't count the incredibly lavish vacations, the incredible luxury and expenditures even when they were not on vacation .. all told, his spending rate per week was right in the ballpark of what you spent. SHE is the one who broke it off with him, and of course I only got to hear her side of the story, as it unfolded (I could see clearly the coming emotional train wreck coming his way). She was genuinely appreciative of the money at first, but resentment crept in pretty quickly as he started acting entitled to all her time and attention, even demanding where and when he wanted her to be. And hell, for $4000-ish a week, I see his point. But even for $4000 a week, the girl didn't want to be treated like a slave or a whore (stop rolling your eyes!), and her resentment rose over the weeks, even as she stayed with him because his money made it too hard to walk away. Meanwhile, he was clearly in complete denial -- He thought she loved him, he loved her back deeply, and he clearly convinced himself that his money was just a generous gift because he wanted to spoil his love, rather than the bedrock and foundation of their relationship. Sometimes she would do something that, even in his state of deep denial he could see clearly what their relationship really was, and that would cause exactly the deep cognitive dissonance that you'd expect, and he'd freak out. It was after one such freakout that she told him to fuck off and left him and his money. He's been trying to get back into her life for over a year now, but she's "ice cold" -- which, he doesn't realize it, is truly a mercy and the healthiest thing for him.
Anyway, not saying at all that that was your situation, although I have a feeling that in MANY such situations, there are at least some aspects of the above slipping in ... her loving the money but feeling obligated (even if that obligation is just in her own mind) because of it, that causing resentment instead of gratitude on her part, as the hapless sugar daddy simply blocks out all indications of what's going on under the surface.
well said. whether or not this applies in the OP’s situation i have no idea but this statement is probably the most insightful thing posted in a long while. PLs, RILs, stalkers and delusional nut jobs of all flavors would do well to take notice
https://heartiste.wordpress.com/the-sixt…
Same could be applied to favorites in a strip club. Have more than one so that you aren't feeling depressed or in a bind if one flakes out on you , gets fired, etc, etc.
It always feels better to have options.
I can't say that I spent anything even close to the op or some others. I broke things off with a dancer many years ago and she was the one crying when I told her goodbye. I liked her but I wasn't in love. At that point, she told me she was. There was even a time when she wanted something like 100 or 300 bucks for no good reason in my opinion without offering anything in return and she got so pissed off at me for saying no, that she quit working at the club for 3 months. I had no idea what she was thinking. Maybe she thought I was a sugar daddy but I had never given her any money for nothing before.
Back to the ops dancer, If she's a smart dancer and knows how to budget her money, she's off milking other pathetic losers and increasing the size of her savings. If she's like every other dancer, she's already blown through a lot of the money and it will all be gone within 5 to 10 years and she'll be thinking about how good she one had it. A dancer in her 40's is pretty much either at retirement time for dancing or looking to get married or getting ready to start a different job. After working a normal job for a while and seeing a normal paycheck, I bet that money she made as a dancer otc, will seem like big money.
Unless she gets a job like a high paid lawyer like Nina plans to get.
Some women just luck out and marry successful guys and don't have to really work except for some extra money.
If your serious about finding a real companion it'll never work if you're jaded about money. Unless you can find one who already has her own.
I'm still thinking about that line that says never compliment a dancer you haven't fucked yet on her looks. I think if you tell a girl that she looks good today, she'll wonder why she's not looking good the other 364 days of the year. :)
Maybe she conned him and played on his fragile emotional state. Maybe it was always a business relationship to her and he simply desperately wanted it to be more. In all likelihood I would bet it was probably some of both.
I believe that she is a good woman that will do anything and everything to protect and take care of the ones she loves (her kids). I thought I was one of the ones she loved. I now believe that I was part of the "anything and everything" that she was willing to do. And that hurts bad
That's the important, and correct, epiphany. And it does put some contrast between your girl and my FWB story -- in that case, the guy started using the terms "boyfriend" and "girlfriend", and she asked him not to, multiple times; she moved over the course of their "relationship", but when he wanted to both cosign her lease and move some of his stuff into her apartment, she refused both requests, etc. Your girl actively manipulated you into this state, the FWB at least did some cursory course-corrections that went unheeded.
Strippers do what they do for $$$; if the $$$ is not there they will not do what they do or be w/ us (99% of the time) - who knows what was her true decision process; but most of these women are in fragile day-to-day situations and she might've feared the OP's financial situation would not be the same going-forward and this might've scared her off? Strippers are in the $$$ business and are not gonna turn down $$$ especially major $$$.
Per Subra's comments; he shows the other side that we as PLs also have some responsibility in not trying to buy any woman's "love" or expect anything more than a pretend "love" if we insist (consciously or subconsciously) on buying/having it (the ole round peg in square hole) - if we throw $$$ at them they are gonna take it and play the role they gotta play to keep it coming; it's the nature of the beast/game.
I've experienced the 'anything and everything' phenomena too. Single mom strippers will sometimes do whatever it takes to take care of their kids. Sad that they can't be more upfront like Subra's hot ass friend.
"Do you ever feel guilty for leading customers on?"
"... If you do, how do you get past it?
I've never had any real regulars until recently. He's young, close to my age, kind of an outcast and shy. He's very sweet, but I think he's naive about how strip clubs work. He's only ever done dances with me, doesn't even really talk to other girls except to be polite if they speak to him. He definitely has a crush on me. I didn't think anything of it until tonight.
He told me he was writing a song about me and told me some of the lyrics. It's very depressing and then the chorus is saying he doesn't have to hurt or be sad or afraid anymore because of me.
I just felt a little bad because I realized he's probably going to get his heart broken when he realizes he won't get me outside of the club and he's going to lose a lot of money before it happens.
Does anyone else still feel guilty when guys catch feelings? I know it's part of the job, but it's new territory for me ..."
Some of the responses are sensible are some are cutthroat:

RickyBoy is number 2 by thinking it's his System that allows him to sometimes line up OTC with strippers. As opposed to the fact the some strippers just have sex for money and makes no difference what you do.
2017 goal: learn from my mistakes, be more efficient and have twice the fun on half the money ($25k). Trust me, if you saw some of my blunders, you'd know it's possible.
If you get fixated on one girl, you might be paying a very high price.
IRS only cares about getting their fair share per the law. It's only fair for all other taxpayers in the country that she pays her fair share. He should talk to his lawyer I suppose to make sure his taxes are in order. It could all be entertainment expense or whatever he wants to call it.
That is if this whole story is true because there is a disclaimer on this web site that all stories on this web site can be considered a work of fiction as a disclaimer.
After all his taxes were up to date, he could notify the irs if he had any um err suspicions that she wasn't paying anywhere close to 175k in taxes the last two years, she could be reported to the irs as suspicious. I don't know the law though. I thought I heard you could report suspected illegal underreporting to the irs.
I'm really not going to try to get even.... how could I possibly do that, she does not have the money..... also as much as I feel like a 16 year old kid with a broken heart, I'm too old to be playing high school dating games
DONT FALL IN LOVE WITH A STRIPPER
I sense a new SC rule:
Always get receipts for LDs, ITC, OTC...

So it wasn't so much about her as it was about you. Did she really play you, or did you create the fantasy of your own doing??
It sucks that you invested so much into her, time, money, emotion, etc. And it didn't help it was a vulnerable time for you. I've always stated it's ok, and in fact can be great to have an emotional high (what some might call love or lust) just as long as you manage it and see it for what it is. That is to have the emotion connection only exist in the moment. It's that lingering scent that gets you into trouble.
