She likes me, she really likes me

I saw a guy on another message board who always talks about how he goes to the clubs, pays the dancers just to sit and have conversation with him and he's "dating them" outside the club. He always talks about how he's dating these "pretty young girls" and how he's "constantly in love because this one might be the one". He's 45 by the way.
So anyone ever gotten to the point that they believe a stripper legitimately likes them, or do you always tend to stay on the side of not believing what nice things she says about you?

I've also thought there are girls that could be the one......the one that meets up with me outside the club. The one that comes back to my hotel with me.
Now I just enjoy the fantasy for what it is, not real, but fun.
I often "want to believe." But it doesn't turn into OTC nearly as often as I hope.
What could possibly go rong????????
My broad thinking is along the lines of Papi: "If a guy can get with similar women who are not strippers, then possible strippers also like him"
That said, I also agree with JS69-->"The only stripper that I believe ever had any type of real feelings for me is the one who fucked me for free many times". That is, I've had strippers turn to what are essentially friends with benefits. Pretty sure they all liked me on some level.
Of course, all of this hinges on what you mean by "legitimately likes them". Like them how? Like a BF or FWB? That's not happening very often, unless you fit into Papi's class of guys who score 22-year-old 9s in real life, too. Beyond that, like every person in the world except for those who only deal with their customers for short periods of time (e.g., McDonalds cashiers, used car salesmen, toll collectors), strippers like some customers more than others -- the relationship is still a business one, but just like you probably like some of your customers more than others, so do they
"It's elementary my dear Watson"
Oddly I've had more escorts than strippers fall into this category over the years.
When I was in my 20's, 30's and even 40's I dated my fair share of good looking women without the business relationship in play but as you continue to age but your taste in women doesn't I think you need to be realistic. Even Charlie Sheen in Two and Half Men eventually aged out of getting anything but strippers and escorts.
It does happen but I've learned not to look for it to and to never expect any special treatment.
Yes.
But true affection that leads to legitimate relationship where money is not a primary motivator? Extremely rare. Chances are higher if there's an age difference of 10 years or less (accompanied by the customer being financially independent, but even then money is a primary motivator). From a customer perspective - dating? - sure, why not. Relationship on the road to marrying the stripper? - the customer, especially the currently married one, best be engaging in some major introspection (as in skibum above - "by the time I get home, I remember how fucking awesome my home life is.")
Basically impossible to take money out of the equation. As an anecdote, during the .com bubble I had a client who cashed out of the company he founded. Not the best looking guy, or the most pleasant or emotionally stable. He was on match.com for a year prior, getting hits only from chicks in the 5-6 range. After he cashed out he added the 2 words "financially independent" to his profile, and immediately got inundated with hits from so many chicks in the 9-10 range, and that tells you about all you need to know about money being a motivating factor.
Now that being said it’s a tough row to hoe when it comes to strippers, an awful lot of them have besides the daddy issues real intimacy issues which causes them to be attracted to abusive types, and that is the real storyline.
In my case it wasn't a change in my finances as much as a physical change in me. I never disclose what I am worth or what I make on SA or to woman and most times I underplay my wealth. But I did drop the weight of an average five year old and got a lot leaner, and physically fit after nearly a decade of not exercising.
Some of how younger women responded to me afterwards I am sure had to do with my confidence level but I always was a cocky SOB and I admit it. Most people unless they really know me have a hard time guessing my age ( good gene pool as well)
If this guy on some other (less reputable) message board can pull that off - it would make his arguments more believable.
However, if this guy is from San Jose and rides a Huffy bike, then he’s just found another board for his delusional rants.
You’ve got so much more to offer than many dancers. Your body is incredible - and you have the intellect that will impress many men.
It's not just a simple test, I think it's the only test... beyond that, I think it's best to assume that the girls are better at playing this game than you are, and her acting beats your bullshit detector every time; the only way to know what's what is to change the rules.
That said, all of this hinges on this weird concept guys have of "really likes" (and I realize you put it in quotes because you probably see this, too). It's like some people have this odd one-dimensional concept of people where they do something for money, or they like you, but there's no intermixing, ever. As I alluded to above, every person I know who has customers, likes some customers more than others... that doesn't mean the basis of the relationship isn't that it's a business relationship, and that if that business relationship was severed, that would end things. But except for folks where the business relationship is one-time and short-lived (toll collectors, used car salesmen, fast food cashiers, etc), people like some customers better than others. Speaking for myself, there are definitely customers I like and enjoy interacting with more than others, and those customers I like certainly get minor benefits.
All this backbending some guys do to try to explain why a stripper did something that's un-business-like, is often more easily explained by occam's razor as, "eh, she likes you as a customer" (or, alternatively, isn't as revolted by you as by her other customers). A stripper can do that without having personal feelings or wanting a customer to become her boyfriend or any other over-romantic silliness.
Many of us here, have gotten hurt badly by one of these love con artists, and as a result that is where the collective memory of this particular group is.
I also, of course, agree that many of us here (me included) have gotten conned by a stripper at some point or other, agree that if the stripper manipulated and encouraged it that it's unethical, and understand why the defense mechanism exists. I'm just pointing out that the "stripper as not a real human" model isn't a realistic one. Humans can have relationships where the foundation is the business relationship, but still "like" the person -- even though, if the business relationship dissolves, that is the end of things.
With that said, I am not beyond having a sugard babby / sd relationship if it goes. I mean the point is to have each others company but have it being transactional. And that is fine with me. I don't want the hassle of a relationship but I do want company and intimacy on my terms.
* Casual sex
* Has me by my first name in her phone
* Doesnt care if I come to the club or not
* Calls me to check up on me
* Still wants to spend time with me OTC when her cycle is on.
*She pays for dinner every now and then.
I also think that you shouldn't expect a stripper to maybe start liking you and perhaps date you if you've paid her money (other than stage tipping). You're paying for the girlfriend experience and she's providing you that fantasy. It's her job to maintain than fantasy and it's your job to have a healthy balance between reality and fantasy
The nerdy guys that couldn’t get tail in a whorehouse, might actually have the advantage here, crazy as it sounds.
Except for @Subraman he deludes himself a lot ;-D.
Just kidding bro you have really soft hands ;)
There is no doubt that a fair amount of scamming goes on as well as posturing. It's given --and Bj99 is correct on multiple counts if the woman's ability to make a living revolves around her selling a fantasy than baring an outright deception or ROB it's on the guys to determine their level of comfort and or belief in what they are being told and sold.
As far as a dancer not accepting money I can't impress upon other readers here it presents a whole other set of issues that you don't want--in many cases you don't want to wish on your worst enemy.
The original questions ask had to do is it possible a stripper really likes you?--to me at least the answer is still yes.
Can there be a strong attraction or even love? yes there can
Does that necessarily equate to marriage or even living together or Happily Ever After? Not that I have ever seen.
Everything is relative. Compared to the other PLs and mongers that hang around the jack-shack, sure, many strippers prefer me. But out in the real world, after last-call? Not so much. So when they say things like "you're much better looking than the other guys here," or "you smell so good, compared to the last loser I was grinding on," yeah, I might believe them because they're just making a simple comparison. After all, a slap in the face is better than a kick in the nuts. But don't go convincing yourself that a slap in the face is a good thing. It's only good when compared to a kick in the nuts. So do they really like me? No. They may *prefer* me but that doesn't mean that they *like* me. It's not the same thing.
Well, well take your own words for it then....
"Met with accountant this morning. $3100 in "Entertainment expenses" in month of February! "
"Yes, on Valentines Night, fate had me re acquainted with the one girl that I was completely crazy about from the first time we met. Turns out, she's crazy about me!! I know, I know. You'll believe it when you see it but honestly this young beautiful young lady has truly captured the heart of the NEWB."
"After many many thousands of dollars invested, countless hours upon hours, evenings upon evenings. I think my buddies, John, Greg and others may have it figured out. Go in, have a couple drinks, tip an occasional young hottie on stage. Once every month or so, have a 2 for 1. Quit falling "in like" or at least as easy. That's easy to say since I have fallen seriously "in like" with a young lady recently that I think is "THE ONE"
"For the first time in a year and a half, I'm not talking to or dating any dancers."
But I digress.
Anyway there has been some good insights here. I always wondered if people legitimately believe that they are like James Bond when they hang out with the dancers, or if they are more like me and tend to not really believe anything that they say and at what point and time does the fantasy encroach too much on reality?
Now that I'm older, probably won't run into that anymore.
Traitor!
