WWTD? Dancer sits down and starts crying...
What Would TUSCL Do?I'm at the club about to leave because I just spent $100 on awkward dances from this chick who was clumsily trying to upsell me but her English was completely fucked. As I'm texting another gal to see what she's doing, this young dancer walks up. I'd seen her earlier and she was kinda cute but was with some dude.
She asks me my name, immediately forgets she did as she introduces herself, and then asks if she could sit down. I'm waiting to get a message back so why not? Then I ask how she's doing while looking to see if a waitress is around, and she says she's doing good but doesn't sound quite right. I look over at her and she's literally got tears streaking down her face...
She's trying to keep them from coming, or maybe poking herself in the eyes to turn on the waterworks, but I give her a closer look and these are like real in-her-feelings tears. Fuck! Really?! So what would TUSCL do?
Got something to say?

I will play along and answer your question:
Q: What Would TUSCL Do when a Dancer sits down and starts crying...?
A: “Do good and good will follow you...”
Sometimes crying happens naturally, and can help relieve stress and pain on people.
Ask her if there something you can help her with, most often she would just need someone to listen and show her some empathy.
Just act like a human being and show that you care about another human being.
Sometimes she just needs a friendly gesture, perhaps lean on you and ask for a hug or hug you, an unexpected acts of kindness can bring wellness to both parties.
Just remember to be careful out there...
Chose not to simply reject and walk, so then I asked her if she wanted to talk about it. This stranger who'd just sat down started to share something personal, but then seemed to gather herself up and started asking me questions. Rebooted and went into the stripper smalltalk routine. That was better because I could bail, but then things got weird. More on that later.
A lot of these girls in strip clubs are pretty and should have a choice of boyfriends but also have bad judgement and are always picking guys who cheat on them, can't hold a job, have drug or alcohol addictions, commit crimes and get sent off to prison and so on. This causes these girls a lot of misery.
It got me thinking chicken and egg. Are strippers attracted to loser guys like this, or is it that women who go for these guys are the type that might turn to stripping because of the same low esteem that gets them the druggie criminal boyfriend? Or this type of guy coerces/convinces them to strip for the money.
Most clubs do not want boyfriends in the club. I had a girl that I was considering for VIP. She mentioned that her boyfriend was sitting at the bar watching. I thought that meant she would not dare go to VIP. Instead she started crying and said that if she did not get a VIP soon he would beat her ass when she got home. When we were done in VIP she went right to a skinhead looking dude at the bar and gave him the money. He got up and left.
If a dancer is crying b/c she can’t make $$$, yeah I feel bad for her – but if I try to be her White Knight that means she’s gonna look at me to give her $$$.
DANGER, DANGER WILL ROBINSON! HEADCASE ALERT!
I think that this says it all. On the plus side, this girl sounds ripe for pretty much anything you want from her. But on the downside, "kinda cute" is not exactly a ringing endorsement, which is probably why she's struggling to begin with.
Be wary enough not to fall for a line that involves giving her money for some sorrowful situation.
