Letting yourself get poached
8TM
North America
A long time ago in a club far away I was sitting with a tall blonde I haven’t seen there before. We were about to go to VIP when a shorter skinny blonde barged in and said “hey, I was looking at him first.” To my confusion the first girl was OK with this and the short girl was soon dragging me back to the VIP. After we were done, she informed me she and the first girl were sisters.

But it still happens on occasion. A dancer tried to lure me away while a dancer I was chatting with took her turn on stage before our VIP. The dancer got off stage in the middle of her set and pulled the poacher away. I didn't hear everything that passed between them, but the phrase "... cut your tits off..." figured prominently.
The poached stomped off to the dressing room, my dancer finished her set, and we had a great VIP.
I also think that in certain clubs, perhaps the more divey-ones, that some girls may try to intimidate other girls and try to move in on their action/custies; thus I try to not let a girl barge in especially if I’m w/ another dancer which I’ve had happen b/f although it’s not common.
Dancers gotta toe a bit of a fine-line b/w not being too pushy nor claiming custies although many don’t have an issue w/ it – in a way I try to “work w/ dancers” per se in trying to make sure there aren’t misunderstandings in whom I wanna get with – I wouldn’t want a dancer to miss out on my biz which she might have earned b/c she was being too-polite or not wanna cause drama w/ another dancer that was trying to “poach me” – I feel it’s sometimes up to the custy to make sure the right girl is getting his biz.
Having said this – I feel it’s ok for a dancer to approach a custy sitting by himself and it’s up to the custy to say yay or nay – I don’t necessarily believe in regulars being completely off limits to every other dancer in the club – it’s up to the custy do decide who he wants to spend time w/ and if he only wants to be w/ his fave then it’s up to him to state that.
Now can another girl entice me to make a switch, maybe by whispering a thing or two to me while my momentary friend is in the bathroom or DR? Sure. But I decide the manner and timing of the switch, not her. I usually wrap things up with the first girl and send her off with a thank you before exploring the next one.
Honestly, I don’t like dealing with customers like this. Even if something works in my favor. Because they either:
A) Don’t have the balls to tell dancers they aren’t interested. I guess there’s the silver lining with these types that they might be easier to hard sell. But also wonder what they are going to be like once they drink too much and they feel more confident and aggressive and want to overcompensate. :/
B) They deliberately like drama and want to create situations so they can either feel like they are being fought over or will actually be fought over.
In the second case I don’t believe 100% they were sisters, but if she was lying I don’t know why she waited so long to bring it up.

I don't really get "locked down" either though, if the dancer I've been talking to for a while steps away and takes too long to get back I might very well find something else to occupy me. But I'm not gonna bail on her cause she had a stage rotation or had to pee. If that was my intent, I'd have sent her packing already. If we're talking, it's cause I want to be talking to her and I'm almost certainly interested in more later.
Anyway, I used to be self conscious about “not being a time waster” but not anymore. The girls seem to be happier if they wait 20 minutes to pop the question and get told no than if I try to cut them off and save both our time.
