Dushku and Dancers
IHearVoices
954 (South Florida)
Back when I made the leap from "guy who SCs" to "SC aficionado" - i.e. 'right around the time I became a TUSCLer - I read an article by Peter Tips in which he explained the idea of the Dushku Limit. Stated succinctly: it's the idea that after a certain level of attractiveness, it really doesn't matter who's above who in that area.
I started thinking about this while I was in Savannah's last night, but in a different way.
(Before I go any further, Savannah's was lit. The vibe was completely different than I'd ever experienced, there were more fine women - and not the rail-thin types: fine women with curves - than I have ever seen before. This even extended into customers...and even though they were civilians, attractive women are attractive women. Dancers even talked to me. It was like it was a completely different club. There was even a fight after the club closed, so the UFC didn't have a monopoly on the scrap game. There was about as much entertainment to be had last night as the other ~10 visits combined. Anyway, back to the topic.)
After moving my pride and standoffishness out of the way, I decided to walk up to the girl who I think is the most attractive one there. For those who know the place, it's the thick white girl with straight brown hair...and you shouldn't need three guesses to know who I mean. Anyway, she somewhat remembered me but asked if she knew me from there or AW. I never knew she danced at AW, and believe me when I say I'd have remembered if I saw her there. Anyway, she gave three dances that had me wanting more. Everything I liked: she looks so good, she dances just the way I like, and pretends to enjoy it convincingly enough that it almost seems like she really does.
Here's the thing, especially as it relates to Savannah's: her dances were so good that I'm not sure I ever want to try anyone else. The probability of getting a better dance, particularly there, is low. AW is a LD factory in comparison, and there are only two current dancers I'd trust to give better dances.
I know some of us prefer variety, and place a high value on it. That said, most of us also have CFs too - and they got there somehow. Unless you really value variety, the rational (in an econ sense) move is to get as many dances as possible from the best girl there.
If a girl's dances...or other...are good enough, is there even a point in trying other girls? Is there a Dushku limit type level for dancers - a level of entertainment a girl can provide that signals to a PL that no one else is worth considering?

In the end, "the right way" is whichever way a particular SCer finds he enjoys it the most and feels his getting the mo$t from it.
