Goosman's post "Am I Willing to Risk it All?" made me wonder:
How often do strippers act like they really like you during a dance?
When a stripper compliments you or acts like she's really into you, how often is it just SS compared to how often it leads to something OTC.
Also, do you like it when strippers act that way or would you prefer them to be a little less personal while still giving a good dance?


yahtzee, I think this displays some off thinking: "how often is it just SS compared to how often it leads to something OTC."
insincere compliments ("stripper shit") and OTC are not opposites. She might compliment you as part of her hustle, whether or not she wants to go OTC with you. She might compliment you sincerely, whether or not she wants to go OTC with you. These topics are orthogonal.
The best policy, IMO, is: enjoy compliments for what they are, but assume they are hustle until they're proven not to be hustle (and it's not easy to prove that). Pursue OTC regardless, these things have little to do with each other.
Not picking nits here -- I think this is an important point.
