Favorite technique for politely asking them to leave . . .

It's not difficult for a girl to tell if a customer likes her. Did he tip her on stage? Does he stare at her ass whenever she walks by? Has he attempted to make eye contact? And it's not hard for civvie girls to pick up on this stuff outside of the club either. We men are very transparent creatures, and I'm fairly certain that the girls at the grocery store can tell whether or not I like them, though I haven't tried tipping them yet.
So why do so many girls sit down at my table uninvited when I've done none of the things listed above? I get it, they're not making money off of other customers, so they have nothing to lose and might actually sucker a few dollars out of me.
If I haven't encouraged the girl to join me I'll still talk to her (she's a human being after all), but I don't feel obligated to buy dances or drinks with her, and this should be her first clue to move on. If she doesn't move, what do I do next? It really depends on the girl, the club, how busy it is, whether or not I know any of the other girls, etc. But my favorite is to keep excusing myself to tip girls on stage, and then when I return to my table to I tell the cock-block who won't go away how nice the other girl was to me last time even though I hardly spent any many. If she hangs on after this, I leave for a different club, and the only thing I've lost is my cover charge.
What do you guys do?

This falls squarely in Subraman’s “don’t be a little bitch” category. If she’s not taking “I won’t be buying anything from you” as a clear indication, it’s time to stop being so exquisitely polite. No need to be rude yet, of course, but waiting for her to leave after a clear statement is wasting both her time and yours.
It can take 3 seconds to get rid of a dancer.
If you get desperate , just let out a loud fart and talk about it. Maybe say you had a bean burrito and thank her for staying in the smell. She will appreciate that. Unless she stinks even more and can't smell it. Talk about how your glad that she's in love with you because only a stripper in love would get all stinky and give up dancing for other customers to stay in your stinky smell. Then start asking for her real name and phone number because you know she's in love with you so let's not beat around the bush.
Sometimes it is if he plays his cards right.
> Did he tip her on stage?
And her? and her? and her?
> I'm fairly certain that the girls at the grocery store can tell whether or not I like them, though I haven't tried tipping them yet.
You can tell by the smile and spring in their step if they get a little mood boost from the attention. No need for all that other stuff. I would recommend against the "I'm going to masturbate over you later, heh heh heh" look.
> So why do so many girls sit down at my table uninvited when I've done none of the things listed above?
Rent's due and her car is about to get towed. They saw you liked another bitch and they wanted to get to you first.
> If I haven't encouraged the girl to join me I'll still talk to her (she's a human being after all)
+1, but she needs to move on and find an actual mark
> but I don't feel obligated to buy dances or drinks with her, and this should be her first clue to move on.
Yeah, but rent's due and her car is about to get towed and this technique has worked on 180 guys so far.
> If she doesn't move, what do I do next?
If it has gotten to this point, my favorite way to remove my new CB is to "go to the bathroom". It's a controversial tactic, but it seems to have worked well for the women, and in her alone time, she has probably thought it over and moved on to the next possible mark.
> But my favorite is to keep excusing myself to tip girls on stage
Another fine choice, but some CBs are more glued on than others. (note: if you don't want to lose the one you're with, give her one of the dollars you would have tipped and maybe you could have two sitting with you - team building)
> If she hangs on after this, I leave for a different club, and the only thing I've lost is my cover charge.
naw, don't leave! just go to the men's room!
Another fine choice!
> Unless she stinks even more and can't smell it.
You should have been in the men's room at this point.
> Thanks for stopping by, but I'm waiting on somebody and don't want to waste your time
I would just say I'm waiting on somebody and omit the "and don't want to waste your time" part or go to the men's room. Sometimes they ask who, to which I like to respond "she knows" or "you'll see"
> If you get desperate , just let out a loud fart and talk about it
So, the men's room didn't work, and now it's a desperation contest... ;) Don't leave, though. Just go sit at the bar.
Probably not a good plan. That could make it into the dressing room.
Too far to the asshole side of the continuum
If I had to do it over again, knowing she was new and possibly desperate, instead of arguing, I would have said, check back with me in an hour or 2 and maybe I will change my mind. This was a new dancer who didn't know much about dancing apparently. Hopefully I didn't cause her to quit on day one, unless things worked out better for her. She was the only dancer I ever had sit and argue with me out of thousands of dancers after firmly telling her no. I did have one other dancer make me offers after telling her no. That wasn't really arguing. That was trying to entice me.
Aww, you warm my heart!
If you level up, you could get to the men's room. Sometimes they even have mints! Depending on how classy the place is, though. Others have ice.
> She was the only dancer I ever had sit and argue with me out of thousands of dancers after firmly telling her no
Tip your bartender. Just the tip. Only the tip.
> I firmly told her no but I guess because she was new and I didn't realize that, instead of walking away to ask me later, she decided to argue with me. Wrong choice. Never going to get dances from arguing with me.
Ladies. No means no. Unless there is a safeword involved.
> I remember one apparently new dancer wanted to dance for me so much, that she felt so rejected that she sat in a corner and never apparoached me nor anyone else that I noticed the next 2 hours that I noticed.
Too far to the asshole side of the continuum
> When she refused to leave, I got up and sat at the stage
It costs less to sit at the bar
> If I had to do it over again, knowing she was new and possibly desperate, instead of arguing, I would have said, check back with me in an hour or 2 and maybe I will change my mind.
you sly dog!
Okay, can't tell if this is an Mtent like persona just recycling the same questions we get every week, but I nevertheless have a strange compulsion to answer. Here's what works for me, I say something like, "I'm not planning on buying any dances from you, but thanks for coming by, have a nice night." It works like a charm, even with pretty aggressive hustlers. I choose this approach because it suits my personality, and just mentally I like being in "confident consumer" mode. Passive aggressive things like, "I'm waiting for someone" "maybe later" etc., make me personally feel like someone who is afraid of the stripper, and just going to the bathroom or running off to stage tip makes me feel even more scared. Meanwhile, most strippers will just take the hint, but sometimes you run into a stripper who was already angry and sadistic and she wants to take it out on you; she'll recognize this behavior for what it is (scared) and start her harassment interview to humiliate you -- which again, is easy to handle for me, but I wonder how someone who is too scared to be direct handles it.
Don't be scared of the stripper, be direct, tell her you're not buying from her, have a nice night. I will say that some of you seem to be subject to a level of hustle and aggression from strippers that I am not, by virtue of the fact that I seek out slower low hustle clubs/shifts; so perhaps doing it my way might not work with the hyper-aggressive Cubans some of you describe? I've never run into one, so I dunno
doctorevil - please note that I also wrote "It really depends on the girl, the club, how busy it is, whether or not I know any of the other girls, etc" so I wouldn't up and leave in every situation.
I equate leaving a strip club because the girls that night don't get it with not going back to a restaurant with good food because the service sucked. It's up to them to deliver on all ends for a complete experience, and I'll shop someplace else if they don't. I'm there to relax, and if I'm able to do so I'm all in. If the girls I don't want to relax with can't take a polite hint (followed by a firmer hint) and my efforts to relax feel more like the chore of swatting away flies that keep coming back, then I'm perfectly content to go relax someplace else. There are plenty of options where I live.
"I will say that some of you seem to be subject to a level of hustle and aggression from strippers that I am not."
I think subraman makes a good point in that it depends on where you club. I see differences all the time when I travel. I have no problem telling the stripper no. I've done it hundreds of times. If she wants to try harder and rub all over me only to hear no again, that's her decision. But it can reach a point where it's more of a chore for the customer than it needs to be. My question is more about being irritated by futile attempts, rather than being scared of the stripper. I'll walk down the street to a different club before I go hide in the men's room if all I'm getting that night is "but I give the best lap dances ever". Sure she does.
orionsmith - I like your approach. I would club with you any day of the week.
When I say I'm waiting for someone, it's because I have one or a few in mind or I'm waiting to see the rest of the lineup and then decide.
> and just going to the bathroom or running off to stage tip makes me feel even more scared.
It's in the swagger with your stage tip. If you go up and actually enjoy it and ask the stripper about her new shoes.... Miss thirstay will probably walk away thinking it's not her.
I like this. Body language should tell these girls a lot. Are you being more open with the girl on stage than you are with them . . .and you're also tipping the girl on stage after you didn't buy any dances or drinks with the cock block at your table. At a lot of clubs this is more than enough.
We're not there for honesty. When we walk into a club the girls are under the impression that we want them to pretend to be more into us than they really are, for money of course. This just goes without saying. But if I don't want a particular girl to provide this charade, should I be completely honest about why I don't want her to? I think this subjects the girls to an unfair double standard, in that they need to be flirtatious and pretend to be into the guy until he gives her a real reason why he's not into her. What a fucked up work environment.
At the same time, if a customer is a dick, the girl will stop pretending to be into him tell him he's a dick. So at extreme levels honesty does (and should) come out, and there is likewise a point where the customer should be blunt and honest with the girl who pretends not to get it.
I guess what I'm really asking is how do you find the equilibrium point where honesty (inside of a strip club) becomes appropriate? Or, would you just rather club someplace where it's easier to abandon honesty at the door? I prefer the latter.
The guys who have trouble with these women, have trouble with women in their real lives. It doesn't go away once they enter the SC.
Depending on her approach, it's either irritating or just a passing blib on the road to a girl with the firm butt that flagooner is talking about.
a friendly "I'm not buying dances from you tonight, thanks for stopping by" is not being a dick. To the extent that it does seem like being a dick, or impolite, or ungentlemanly, that is 100% is your head. The girls would rather hear that than "maybe later" or be subject to passive aggressive actions. Don't get me wrong, I was where you are, for many many years of my SCing career -- confused over what constitutes being impolite in a strip club. Most strippers will tell you that they'd prefer to be told in a direct but respectful way that they're wasting their time, than have to deal with "maybe laters". Hell, nicespice said that in a thread just yesterday. Direct = polite, and shows the most respect towards the girl. Passive aggressive and coy = not nice, not respectful towards the stripper.
-->"and there is likewise a point where the customer should be blunt and honest with the girl who pretends not to get it."
The point where a customer should be blunt and honest -- but polite and respectful -- is right from the beginning. Better for the stripper, but far more importantly, better for me as the customer
"Yeah Im not interested"
"Youre not my type"
I have no since started telling them right away that I'm going to waste their time if they want a dance of any kind. It works perfectly fine. Some seem to get confused or offended, I don't care any more.
If you re-read what I wrote you'll see that in this scenario I've already declined dances, and though I never mentioned how I declined the dances, the passive aggressive "maybe later" is the assumption the many posters want to go with, depending on their motivation for responding.
its
Agree, misinterpreted that... I'll answer your question differently: it's none of her business why you are declining, and explaining it to her can do no good at all, and can trigger a backlash or hurt her feelings. But her feelings aren't as much an issue here, as the fact that you owe her no explanation, IMO.
AGain, IMO, no matter how much she can't take a hint, or sticks around after you've declined a dance, a straightforward "I'm not getting dances from you" sends them packing. Although to be honest, unless she just walked up and "wannadance" is the first thing out of her mouth, for me, I usually send them away before they get to the point that they ask for a dance. I don't like to let her sit with me for 10 minutes if I know I won't be buying, that's what I think is rude.
But I have not told a girl "I'm not getting dances **from you**" which changes the meaning. I would consider this a subtle difference, but it does get the point across that it's her I don't want without having to tell her why.
Hmm. Why do you think that is?
ABT first paragraph: "(no real question)"
ABT second paragraph: "(no real question)"
So we're already read this far and haven't got to *it* yet. I can see the dancers' frustrations ...
ABT asked: "If I haven't encouraged the girl to join me I'll still talk to her (she's a human being after all), but I don't feel obligated to buy dances or drinks with her, and this should be her first clue to move on. If she doesn't move, what do I do next?"
Never said that you told her that you declined dances. So we told you how. We're not mind readers, BTA. "I'm not buying any dances from you tonight." or some variation in a friendly, direct manner usually gets the point across 99.9% of the time.
BTA asked: "But my favorite is to keep excusing myself to tip girls on stage, and then when I return to my table to I tell the cock-block who won't go away how nice the other girl was to me last time even though I hardly spent any many. If she hangs on after this, I leave for a different club, and the only thing I've lost is my cover charge.
What do you guys do?"
I read this and assumed that going up to stage was the first thing you did. We;re not mind readers.
Now, this scenario did happen to me one time. And what I did was notice the bitch was still at my table, so I went up another girl -- it doesn't matter if she's on stage or standing in the corner by herself. I tip her some money and tell her to come sit with me. She follows me and I sit down with her in front of the first girl and finally her claws release. ;)
+1
it's a self-description
You need to add the "...from you part." Many of us were explicit here.
Like Dominic, and nearly everyone else on he thread who uses this approach, I say "I'm not getting dances FROM YOU tonight". I think it matters -- If I leave out the "From you", I've had girls start to lecture me that if I'm not buying dances I should tip, or start up a conversation about what I like to do since I don't buy dances, etc
You keep adding on details, as if you're trying to direct us to "well then, you have to use the bathroom trick, or leave the club entirely" because that's the answer you want to hear... but "I'm not buying dances from you tonight" pretty much just works, even the few times I do go to high hustle clubs (e.g., Vegas). If it weren't working, I might re-examining my body language and demeanor to see if I'm giving off scared vibes, or whether I should be going to different clubs, not thinking up more strategies. I can see it happening once in a long while with a hyper-aggressive girl, but if it's happening a lot, it might be my problem in how I'm interacting with the girls
Actually, what I did is share the approach that I prefer to use and ask others what they do. Many viewed this as an opportunity to critique my approach, which isn't what the question asks. But in an effort to accommodate their remarks I did provide additional context that could arise in a variety of situations (what you refer to as "You keep adding on details").
I would just explain to them that I've been to a strip club before and understand how it works. If there's a lecture involved I'd probably excuse myself to another seat.
I like this one. It leaves the options open. In fact, I've had girls say "Come get me if you change your mind" and I think this is the best approach that the girls can be taking. It leaves the possibilities open without being a continued nuisance to the customer.
Ironically, I've seen massive rants on SW about guys who say this! SW strippers are FURIOUS that you are making a statement that puts you in control of the interaction (YOU will come get her, IF you're interested). You can't believe how furious some of the girls are over it. It's one of the many wonders of stripperweb, and why I'll never stop reading it -- it's an amazing look into some very odd psychologies, who have built this weird consensus reality together, with all kinds of odd rules you'd never suspect.
But I digress... Yes, that seems like a fine way to feel like she's in control lol... and I welcome her invitation to change my mind later, because sometimes, I do.
You sure? I had it at 3,141,592,657.
buy her a drink, pay her to leave. (i know, it's like giving into extortion right?)
Okay. strap on your crash test helmet good and tight. Good! 3 .. 2.. 1
@ABT,
Subraman is sort of like the Philosopher of Tuscl. He gives very good newbie advice. Read his articles about not being a little baby bitch in the sc. they’re a good read, even for veterans.
Like you, when my earlier days, I used to keep different ways to decline dances in my pocket, thinking that some worked better in some scenarios than others. But really when I thought something wasn’t working, it was more of the fact os declining the dance, twice. Firm. That did it
It’s something like:
SHE: (she asked for a dance)
ME: (I make eye contact, lean in, with a friendly smile, i say,)
ME: No, thank you.
SHE: (she may still push)
ME: I’ll be honest with you, I’m not buying any dances from you tonight.
-or -
ME: No, thank you.
-or-
ME: Nah. I’ve just not feeling it tonight.
I may embellish it about I wishing she have a good evening tonight. (which I am sincerely wishing for her!)
1) I don’t own her an explanation. In fact, giving an explanation may cause her inner saleswoman to try to convert a NO to a YES. I need that like I need a hole in my head.
2) The reason I decline is never about HER.
3) The reason is always about ME. “I’m not feeling it tonight” or “I’m not buying a dance from you.” or “I’m just settling in and I haven’t even had my first drink tonight.” This let’s her know that you, let me restate that, YOU have the courage to say what you want and you have your standards and keep to them. (women respect that, even civvies!) I just don’t care for PLs that neg a dancer by saying she’s not pretty enough or she’s too fat or whatever to put it on her. I always put it on me. It’s my money and my call. I’m out for my entertainment. I’m not dating or marrying this chick.
4) Always, as a man, be open and receptive as well as calm. Those are 3 attractive qualities. Those are masculine qualities. She’s respect your answer more if you convey that in how you come across.
@BTA posted: “Dominic77 - your strip club experiences may be very different from mine because the girls assume I have money. “
^^^ They assume I have money, too. So that’s not the case here. I never give the “I’m out of money line”. I don’t have to. Not even when I’m out of money. I notice you like to shift blame. You start your arguments from the point that you are 100% right and everyone else: ME, the dancers, the veterans here, are all wrong and we have the problem until you’ve convinced us you’re right. That’s what I noticed from your recent discussions you started this week.
@Subraman posted: “You keep adding on details, as if you're trying to direct us to "well then, you have to use the bathroom trick, or leave the club entirely" because that's the answer you want to hear…”
^^^ Basically, @BTA is presenting an XY problem. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XY_problem He’s having us solve Y thinking he’s already solved X himself. But the problem is still X.
@BTA,
Why I no longer use the extra lines for declining dances — one for each scenario — is because I listened to experiences SC goes, like @Subraman and @rickdugan — as well as dancers on blogs and StripperWeb — in that, the only line you really need to decline dances is, “No, thank you.” Inf act anything said after no thank you is said by the first loser. That would be YOU if you embellish or HER if she tries to change your mind.
In fact, having a different phrase was all in my head. It wasn’t the second line that changed her mind. It was me fucking declining the dance firmly a second time. The dancers know what no thank you means. She’s just being sharply or thirty or desperate in trying to bully you into changing your mind. Its that’s the case, then it doesn’t really matter what you said. She either not believing you or not respecting you. And some dancers are like that, especially on day shift where the customer to dancer ratio doesn’t bode well for her earnings if she’s getting declined by every customer. Otherwise, she’s never make any money.
Really what I’m saying here, is @Subraman and @rickdugan were correct. A simple no, thank you is all you need. But you need to deliver it with the correct body language that is unambiguous:
It’s something like:
(she asked for a dance)
(I make eye contact, lean in, with a friendly smile, i say,)
No, thank you.
(Wry smile from me).

^^^ I generally don’t use that line. In it’s place I use @gammanu95’s “Nah, I’m just not feeling it right now.” Maybe I’m being to bleeding heart here, but I’ve read and posted in some of those SW discussions. And if that line “No … I’m come get you” makes their blood boil, I can use something else. It’s supposed to be fun. And I like to be human with empathy.
With that said, they’re a bunch of cunts over there. They’re pretty anti-customer which is what drove me back here to Tuscl. So I may go back to using it. But for now, I don’t need it.
@BTA, I think you are reading too much into it. I’ve used my no thank you line, and later if I change my mind and what dances, they never have any problems accepting my money. I think you are reading TOO MUCH into it and the words. What you are saying is a civilian concern with normal dating. Even the SW girls would call this a civilian concern. I think they’d rather know a firm no then a “maybe later” that’s really a firm no, just repackaged to make you and her feel better about it.
They’re at work. They know the score. It's respectful because you're not wasting her time or your time.
