Do dancers believe their own bullshit when call their Pimp their "Boyfriend"?

Was at Follies today. The SEC Championship is in town, but did not affect the early crowds. I would expect the clubs will be a zoo after the game.

Knowing the game is in town I expect hotels are going to be full of people's 'nieces' tonight. Which leads to the phone conversation at my table. Two white girls were sitting at my table. I wanted to VIP with Girl #1, but Girl #2 joined us and progress slowed down. Girl #1's phone rings and up pops a picture of a thug looking guy that I swear I have seen in Follies before smoking weed with girls. I can only hear one side of the conversation of course.

#1 - (to me) I gotta take this, it's my boyfriend
#1 - Hey baby
LISTENS
#1- but baby I already got two
LISTENS
#1- I know baby. I'm sorry. Don't get that way, baby. I'm sorry. It's OK just text me the room number.
HANGS UP
#1 to #2 - my boyfriend got me three parties after the game. At least they're all at the same hotel.
#2- my man been workin it. He got me partying till 2 in the morning. I may not come in tomorrow.

I guess this is that whole pimp mindfuck control thing. Do they really see these guys as boyfriends?

Probably as much as they see it as "parties" after the game at the hotel.

Often as not I would say that the Pimp is the BF. She wouldn't invent a BF. If she wanted to conceal she would just say that the guy was a 'friend', or someone who drives her and holds her money.

Probably about as much as we believe the compliments they give us.

Still trying to figure out how pimps break women...besides the obvious getting them strungout.

Oh, not looking to save anyone from themselves. Just shaking my head listening to that shit.

Years ago, at the Cadillac Lounge, I was negotiating with a dancer. When we'd reached an agreement (I thought...), she said, pointing at a guy on the other side of the stage, "Hold on. I just need to run this by my accountant."

Marginally more honest than "boyfriend".

^Yeah I sometimes wonder if there is some sort of signaling going on with guys that are obviously pimps in clubs. Many times I have seen dancers go give some "customer" money after a VIP.

I too have seen dancers giving money to guys during their shift but I have for the most part no idea if the are pimps, boyfriends or husbands.

One notable exception was a dancer at the Columbia platinum Plus. She didn't have drivers license due to DUI's so her husband drove her every time she worked and hung out in the club for her whole shift. He was retired from the army and they lived 25 miles away. She was constantly bringing him money and free soft drinks from the bar.

I know for a fact that she was at least doing HJs in the couch room. I was told that once a customer asked her for FS and she pointed out her husband and told him go ask him for permission and if he says OK , I'll do it. I guess the guy chickened out. :)

I doubt the girls consider pimps to be boyfriends. It’s easier to use the term bf than Pimp. I think most dancers don’t want to be viewed as escorts in the club - so the bf and party terms are thinly veiled euphemisms.

Who really knows what these girls think I find many, not all, to be delusional. Many have some weird fantasies going in their minds.

Strippers know they are strippers but call themselves dancers.

Life is full of such euphemisms

One would think many of these girls have to purposely be delusional to do what they do for as long as they do it - it can be a rough way (mentally, emotionally) to make a living for an extended period of time - kinda the reverse of "out of sight out of mind", i.e. "out of mind out of sight"
