Best Way to Prevent a Dancer from Sticking to you
MULANEY
We've all been there: Get a nice spot by the bar, order a drink and then notice at the corner of your eye a 5 or below make a beeline for the seat next to you. You try and not make eye contact in the hopes that she will "shake off the fishing line" but to no avail. She pulls up next to you, starts rubbing you and parks herself right on your elbow. What is the most effective way/line to get her to unhook without being too blunt (unless being blunt is your modus operandi). How can you let her know you are waiting for the 8+ girl, or that you wouldn't let her dance on you if she paid?

"I'm waiting for someone else"
"you're not my type"
Most of this can be avoided if dancers ask if you would like some company rather than invade your space uninvited.
Everyone wins this way.
I don't get blocked by a hag.
At the same time it is actually more respectful to her as it allows her not to waste her time. She can then disengage and search for another paycheck.
It gets stickier if it's not a frump but a really hot girl! LOL My CF isn't bad about me checking out the action but when my ex-ATF quit, I never saw a happier dancer in my life!
If they don't get the hint after being told all the polite things, I've found that being blunt is okay.
"I'll let you know when I'm looking for some company" usuallydoes the trick.
I don't do the passive aggressive approaches, partly because I'm just plain not wired to dicktuck over such a small and easily-handled interaction, and partly because I just don't see a need to. If she comes up to me and I want to turn her down, smile, EYE CONTACT, "No thanks, but thank you anyway!". Sometimes, if I really am waiting for someone, I'll let her know that I"m waiting for Porsche. If she just comes up and starts talking, I'll talk with her for a little bit (I never mind talking and getting to know a stripper for a moment), and if I still don't want to talk to her, smile, eye contact, "hey listen, I'm not going to be buying dances and I don't want to waste your time, but thanks for stopping by anyway. I'll come grab you if I change my mind." Although sometimes, I talk to the girl and decide she's kind fun, and if I have no other prospects, "hey, I'm not buying dances, but if you want to hang out for a few minutes I'd be happy to buy you a drink".
All of these situations are zero-stress situations for me, I don't desperately avoid eye contact, I don't sweat turning her down, and my goal is send her off but keep the door open in case I change my mind someday, or if I come in with a buddy and he wants her. If this is not an easily-handled, zero-stress situation for you, it's always worth examining why, IMO.
I have also noticed tipping the dancer who is on-stage being something that can tend to get rid of whoever was sitting next to me, sometimes even when I didn't want it to (obviously handing the one sitting with you a dollar to join you in stage tipping avoids this)
It's hard for the dancer sitting next to you or anyone else to think that you're her territory if you spend some time at the stage to not just tip the dancer on-stage $1, but also stick around to tip her another $1.
As an added bonus, you can expect that the other dancers might add you to their list of guys spending money that night. Way better than risking a bathroom troll ;)

^ Yep. :) Seriously, OP, learn to guard your space and learn to have a little fun with them. The convo's free. Have fun with it.
