Totally forgetting a stripper who says she knows you?
I've had this happen to me a few times where I go to tip a stripper and she says "remember me?" I may say no or say something like "from where?" Then she may say something like "you don't remember?, then either she tries to refresh my memory or gives up. The last time I heard "that's pretty sad." I don't really think it's sad to totally forget someone. I've met hundreds or possibly over a thousand to two thousand different strippers. It's hard to remember that many people especially if you've been drinking when you met.
So do you think the line "do you remember me?" is more of a line a stripper may use or do you think a number of dancers expect to be remembered months or years later?

I don't know if this was a trick of hers to get me to buy a LD, but it didn't work. I don't like pushy dancers.
"Have you ever been here before?"
"Have you ever had a lap dance before?"
"Have you ever had a dance HERE before?"
"Have you been to our town before?"
"Are you married?"
"Do you have children?"
"What do you do for a living?"
All of it can be innocuous banter or mining for information, depending on how cagey or underhanded a dancer is, or is not. I realized a while back that my lame-ass excuses for jobs ("writer" "volunteer demolishing Katrina houses" etc.) actually make me a GOOD mark. I had assumed that the fact that the jobs sounded like I wasn't making much money meant I would be thought of as someone who didn't have much money to spend on dancers. But it went the other way 'round. BECAUSE I was (supposedly) "rich enough" to spend time in a strip club EVEN THOUGH I had a low perceived income, I must have "trust fund" money of some sort, and therefore can spend willy-nilly, so the ladies assumed. Also, because I'm "self-employed" I don't have to get up too early in the morning and can wait until crowds have thinned out for higher-price intimacy. Or so do some of them seem to think, on the basis of a few seemingly innocuous answers.
I am now more careful about what I say to things like that. In fact, I often deliberately pose as a tourist from out of town at clubs where I've been before, just to hear the ridiculous tales of waffling offers, changing rules, and preposterous regulations, invented off the cuff. It's nutso how many lies are flying about a strip club at any given time.
I do like the way some dancers remember so well. I remember one dancer who used to work at PP in Columbia. I think she went by the stage name Ivy (not referring to any dancer that may by coincidence be using that name now). I got a few dances from her off and on over a couple of weeks. Maybe just 2 different days. Then I didn't visit the club for a while. When I tipped her on stage she said something like "where have you been? It's been 4 months." It was hard to forget someone who stood out as a bit unusual (I think she had a bunch of piercings.) When I first met her I believe she told me I had to massage her breasts. She said she just had breast implants and her doctor said they needed to be massaged. I wasn't arguing. Now something like that I can remember.
Most of the time I suspect the dancer is simply prying for information. A few times a dancer may be sincere but if she doesn't offer any evidence it would be hard to know.
I do remember one of my past friends was sleeping with a different hot girl about every week. He didn't go to strip clubs because I think he was too busy. He moved away and moved in with 2 female roomates to help pay the rent.
There is apparently a pic of me in a strip club in NC I was a regular at about 11 or 12 years ago. A dancer told me about it. I never even knew it when I was a regular there. The club took pics of dancers and customers around their grand opening and put them under the glass at their bars.
