Assuming you meet a stripper who agrees to exchange contact information, what are you finding to be the preferred means of communication? Text seems to be the most common. But I seem to be finding an increasing preference among strippers for Snapchat, Instagram, Kik or other such messaging. Some ladies like to communicate by dedicated email accounts but that seems less common than a few years ago.
What trends, if any, are you seeing? Or are you finding that text is simply king?
Snapchat is taking over. They often send me a snap to entice me to come in or meet up. The snaps and chats disappear after being viewed so they dont need to worry their BF will see. A customer doesnt need to worry his GF or wife will see it. These apps also make it easier for them to have multuple accounts. One for personal life and one for stripper life.
For me, text is the most common and universal. I've had a couple that used Instagram messaging if they had an IG profile that was specifically for their strip club life.
I suspect that Snapchat is the most popular after texting, though. I get asked if I'm on Snapchat more often now. I'm not and I'd rather not be, but I suspect that I'll cave in eventually.
Text is most common, still.
Some girls use instagram or Snapchat. Snapchat in particular is a good score -- very easy for her to send enticing pics! ANd the illusion of impermanence means she's tempted to do so.
A very few pains in the asses ask use kik or whatsapp... I assume because their life situation is unstable and they don't always have mobile service.
I'll be impressed if anyone ever suggests Signal :)
Signal would be the smartest choice, but good luck getting dancers to use it.
I know I can just Google it but I'm lazy. What's Signal? Never heard of it.
Signal is a free, end-to-end encrypted text, voice, video, group chat, image, and time-limited text app. It's claim to fame is that so far it appear to be very secure (that is, no one can break the encryption easily), which means that unlike SMS, snapchat, messenger, etc., your messages are actually just between you and whoever you're communicating with.
Sounds too good to be true. So why exactly hasn't it taken off yet? Is it very new? If it's as good as it sounds then I would think I would have heard of it by now via advertising.
Does anyone use their phone to talk on anymore ?
Snapchat is still the best for me. Then there are off apps like marco polo, and occasionally FB messenger.
When I wasn't married, I didn't mind then hitting me up on GVoice text either
TFP: not sure -- anyone and everyone who takes security seriously has heard of it. Most people don't realize that, for example, snapchat and messenger aren't end-to-end encrypted. Hell, most people probably don't know what that even means. Which means there isn't as big of a market for the most secure free communication platform in the world, versus a platform that proves over and over again is insecure but that you can get lots of "Likes" on. Or, in other words, pretty small target audience: people who care about security, realize how insecure most apps they use are, educate themselves on this.
On top of that, Signal is free open source -- that means the main platform itself is not differentiated. That said, there are schools of thought in the security community that in order for a platform to really be secure, the software should be opened up to the entire security community to examine -- if all the best minds in security can't find problems with the algorithms, back doors, etc., then they probably don't exist. Versus closed-source software, where it's common to find big algorithmic problems, etc.
Ooh nice, I’ve never heard of Signal either. I think when I am working again, I’ll download it and encourage it to customers as well.
The problem with txt phone numbers..... strippers change numbers quite a bit. Either the loose ornbreaknthe phone. Or dont pay the bill.
Snapchat is forever.
Smoke signals
Aham, that is definitely true. That's why it's a good idea to have her snapchat, instagram etc. in addition to her phone number. I've always found strippers are much more responsive to texts, than to DMs in their social media. But, when they change phone numbers, get their service shut off, etc., you can at least still reach them on snapchat (or kik, or whatsapp, etc), even if their service is shut down (as long as they can get to a wireless network)
I have all this shot I barely know how to use. Snapchat, whatsapp so I can talk to my Chicas in Mexico, and Kik is the recent one. I remember turning down exchanging contact info with a super hottie because I was too lazy to download and figure out sanpchat. I’m not doing that again. I’m confirming to the times. You just have too sometimes.
Does Signal provide a burn # or is it unnecessary?
It depends on the girl. I find that the girls who are about 25 or older tend to still use text messaging, usually through a seperate number through google voice or other service.
Girls under 25 seem to be primarily using snapchat which I actually prefer. I only use snapchat for the hobby so I don't have to worry about getting an innapropiate text at work or out with friends/family. Plus they tend to post some great pics throughout the week to look at and their generic "come to the club" pleas tend to be sent to their story instead of directly to me making them easier to ignore.
Unlike 25, I have yet to see a dancer use smoke signals to draw in business, unless you count the Green Light Lounge in Louisville having dancers constantly standing out front smoking and waving to cars that drive by.
I have never used anything other than text except I use the phone when I really want to communicate.
I know I'm in the minority here but I don't want her number, Snapchat, IG, etc.
When I first started SCing it was fun to get numbers and then text but some of the dancers were real clingy, perhaps thinking it was charming, I would think "I don't want to date you, I just wanted to get a few good lap dances"
Then when I was introduced to extras it made me more anti post experience communication.
Signal is the most secure but are you really worried the NSA is gonna be reading to your texts to Destiny?
I use whatsapp and Burner. Whatsapp uses your real number and can’t be password protected so that’s only for girls I have known for awhile.
Once had a girl ask to friend me on facebook but I turned that down.
I have had no issues with texting. But I loved reading blonde bombshell go way off the subject and somehow com back to kik, so I'm gonna try it!
Text messaging is what I prefer and what most girls still seem to prefer. Some will say they only do instagram or snapchat, but those are the ones least likely to be my type. Snapchat is also annoying because of its insistence on being a mobile only app. This past year I've gotten exactly one email from a dancer who is really paranoid about her kids finding random dudes on her phone.
Bingo @ Cristobal
-->"Signal is the most secure but are you really worried the NSA is gonna be reading to your texts to Destiny?"
As someone who is fairly convinced that the NSA has intercepted all my dick pics, and they are currently all printed out and hung up around NSA headquarters with all the nerds laughing at them, I find the investment worth it.
:) More seriously, I'm not terribly worried about this, but I said I'd be impressed if any of them picked Signal -- after all, they are the ones who are going to be sending me nude pics, etc. Why not pick an app where those pics won't be unencrypted on corporate servers? Signal is best, but any end-to-end encrypted platform works fine... even WhatsApp. I mean, Signal is no more difficult to use than Messenger; whether you think you "need" it or not, given that you're not giving anything up, why not take the safety?
-->"Some will say they only do instagram or snapchat, but those are the ones least likely to be my type."
I'm with you there, in the sense that some girls have a fake Instagram or Snapchat that's only for customers, where they try to "build their brand", and that includes a for-fee section with "special pictures". I don't have any objection to this in principle; but experience tells me, these tend to be high-$ SW-hustler types or high volume types, and I'm not after either. My CFs pretty much never give me the "I only have snapchat" line, perhaps because they wouldn't have made it to become a CF if they were super high-$ hustler types.
On the other hand, my CF offers me her snapchat? Fuck yes, for all the reasons I mentioned. Her story will be fun and sexy, but far better than that, millennial female culture around snapchat is, they send sexy pics. And hey, I love me some sexy pics of my CF.
I'm curious as well. Looking forward to see answers from folks with experience. From browsing threads on here in the past I saw snapchat, and text with a different number from an app like textnow was popular. Our favorite busty blonde on here prefers Kik. Down in Mexico the girls prefer to use whatsapp. Doesn't seem to be any Amazon type choice for messaging though.
