TUSCL GLOSSARY DEFINITION OF ROB:
"Rip-Off Bitch - Dancers who will use any SS [stripper shit] or other techniques to get you to pay money to them and then not deliver any or minimal services. They exist because customers don't know how to say no with an erection and think that throwing more money at these girls will improve their situation. These girls should be avoided and called out publicly."
A lot of guys here feel strongly about naming ROBs in their reviews. The definition provided by TUSCL above reinforces that belief. But where's the border between being a dancer that has "hustle" and a "ROB"? We've seen guys on here define a ROB as "She charged me more than this other dancer." For other guys, there needs to be some level of blatant deception or theft.
So, what is your litmus test for a ROB versus aggressive selling versus annoying or bad practices? If possible, include an example of a dancer experience where you believe you were dealing with a ROB.

Just being bitchy, which is very common, you know what maybe she was having a rough night I'm not sweating it to even remember it for the most part.
After front room negotiation and y’all agreed to $200 for BJ.
You enter the VIP room & she collects the money upfront but refused to provide the service agreed upon before hand.
That’s a ROB and deserves to be hustled.
HUSTLE
(1) She promises you that VIP would be better but didn’t provide any specifics. You decided to bite anyway without nailing her down. In the VIP room, she only provides dances.
That’s a HUSTLE and the blame is on you for failing to clarify expectations before proceeding.
(2) Dances generally costs $20/dances but she charges $40/dance because she’s the hottest stripper in the club. You have the option of either paying her price or finding another dancer that charges normal rate. 100% HUSTLE
(3) She tells you that she doesn’t do single dances and expect a minimum of three dances upfront before dancing for a PL. Again 100% hustle since the rules are laid out clearly upfront.
Saying “I guarantee you’ll have a great time,” or “I’ll rock your world,” or anything other than “I’ll do X for $$” and then not delivering doesn’t count. That’s just the time honored strip club hustle.
I think I have encountered a true ROB maybe twice in my long and sordid PL career. I have fallen for the strip club hustle a number of times, but that’s on me.
As far as naming ROBs, I used to think they should be, but I’ve changed my mind. I’ve seen to too many reviews or discussion posts where the PL just fell for the hustle,
realized later he was a dumbass, and wants to call the girl out as a ROB. So my rule now is no names ever.
A rip off bitch would be a girl making a living rolling tricks
A dancer charging more than other dancers isnt a rob, even if she charges one customer more than another. There isn’t any deception or scamming involved just because she charges one customer more.
I don’t think a dancer being vague is being a ROB. If she tells you that VIP will be fun, and she’ll take all her clothes off, but is otherwise vague, that isn’t a ROB.
Otoh if a dancer says something like pay more to get more to try to sell you a VIP, that can be considered being a ROB even though it’s vague. Especially if you have already gotten one lower priced dance.
If you pay up front for a dance, go to the back, and she demands more money before performing, that is an obvious rob.
Btw Icee has gone on record saying he thinks dancers have the right to beat and rob customers for any reason, hence he doesn’t really think robs exist.
When you see those terms like finesse or hustle used online, it seems to be just a prettier way to refer to robbing or scamming.
I can understand customers confirming and asking about mileage each time they’re seeing a dancer at the club, but the customer shouldn’t need to reconfirm boundaries or mileage before each single dance. If a dancer wants to change rules from one dance to the next, it should be her informing the customer before the dance is sold, IMO.
Also, airdances are a ROB imo, especially if the club advertises lapdances or touch lapdances or full contact lapdances. A dancer shouldn’t be working at a lapdance club if she only wants to do airdances, or she should be informing people looking to buy dances that she only does airdances, or just not doing private dances and only dancing on stage. I don’t think the customer should need to ask if a lapdance will be performed if its a lapdance club. A certain minimum should be assumed.
If you do get a lapdance where the dancer is just grinding your thighs for most of it, or only standing around stuffing her boobs or ass in your face, I can see arguments both for how that is or isn’t a ROB.
One time, after a good single song, I got a half hour with a dancer. She told me to stop touching her part way through the half hour. She starting bragging about how many thousands she made every night. Seemed like a ROBby attempt to get me to tip her just to stop the dance from turning sucky. But maybe she thought my fingers got to close to her butthole, and I was about to go for ambush FIBH. Just avoided her after that. I heard the club eventually fired her.
Back in the late 80's/early 90's the go-go joints were mostly pretty lame, but the streetwalker action was hot, especially in the South Bronx. The girls might have been crack-addicted whores, but most of them looked good. They were out there day and night, 24 hours, and you didn't even need to worry about getting caught because everyone was on the take back then. Hookers gave freebies to cops, and pimps paid dues to police chiefs.
I'm driving around Hunts Point one night and I see this hot looking whore. She stood out among the crowd of other prostitutes. Real sexy. I slow down, open the window, and she approached my car. Before I even had a chance to engage in conversation, she ripped the glasses off my face and went back to the curb with the other whores. I was like WTF? She yelled at me 50 bucks to get them back. She took my eyeglasses hostage.
My first instinct was to drive away. She might have had a gun, or a pimp who supported what she did. I drove around the block to get my thoughts together, and decided she just wanted an easy payoff. The glasses were worth nothing to her, except that I would have to spend a couple hundred to replace them.
I went back around the block, held a couple $20's out the window, she snatched the bills and turned over my glasses. She asked for 50, I paid 40, and I drove away with my glasses. I didn't get laid, but I guess it was worth $40 to learn that lesson.
To me, that's the definition of a "ROB". So dancers adding one to the count is no big deal for me.
I was typing too fast.
It should be “deserves to be called out publicly/named”
From my pov, I feel a ROB is when a dancer falls through on an agreement for VIP and/or rips customers off in VIP by beginning dancing in the middle of a song after being seated and still charging the full price for that song. I see the latter frequently and it bothers me for some reason. I understand the hustle and getting as much $ as possible, but I also feel it isn't fair to the customer either.
I haven't named them in the past and usually leave out any mention of them in the review entirely.
I will play along and comment on your discussion.
What is a ROB (Rip-Off Bitch)?
Urban Dictionary defines Rip Off Bitch - a woman that pretends to be a woman that will provide Escort services, but instead steals the money and runs.
How do you define a ROB? And, under what circumstances do you include a ROB in a club review?
Google says Rip-off is an informal term for a theft or fraud of some kind.
First used in the 1960s, rip-off comes from African American slang, from the vernacular rip, "to steal."
I would define a ROB as a stripper that steals, defrauds, promises and does not deliver.
I would not waste time on including a ROB in a club review, because thank you to listening to my spider sense I have been able to avoid most of them.
And ultimately the so called “Karma” will hopefully ultimately catch up with her.
If you want to take Karma in your own hands, a clever way to get back at someone who ripped you off a couple hundred dollars is to push them down a flight of stairs and let them know Karma is a bitch. (I am kidding of course)
Otherwise you can follow the traditional way of dealing with people that steals from you
1. File a report with the local police. ...
2. File a complaint with the state attorney general. ...
3. Submit a review or complaint to the Better Business Bureau. ...
4. Go to small claims court. ...
5. Get a private lawyer.
6. Etc etc etc (I am kidding again)
It is really part of the costs associated with the adult industry hobby, paying for learning about someone and it costs you a couple hundred dollars to get rid of her for ever, because you should never will have to deal with her again, if you learn the lesson.
The more common of these is a dancer who over counts songs and tries to charge you for 8 dances when you actually only got 6 for example. Sometimes it can be a simple mistake and other times it is a straight up ROB but it can be hard to tell if it only happens once with the girl and she is only off by1 or maybe two songs.
I have also come across girls that try to short you on time during a timed VIP. The worst case of this was a few years ago at a club in Lexington, I bought a 30 minute VIP and after less than 20 minutes she said we were done. I told her that it hadn't been even close to 30 minutes and she told me that the 30 minutes was just the "maximum time it could last" and that she had given me "30 minutes worth of fun" because her dances were better than anyone else's at the club. Luckily the manager didn't agree and let me put the money I had prepaid to the club to take another dancer back to the vip and he gave the other girl the full dancer's cut instead of giving the ROB anything.
I don't know that that I have ever dealt with a dancer who agreed to do something specific and then didn't follow through with it. The closest would be a girl that agreed to a bj and fs and then once we got back to the vip it turned out she hated sucking dick so her version of a bj was about a minute of licking the sides of my shift before going into fs. It wasn't what I expected but it wasn't enough for me to consider it a ROB situation since we didn't really discuss details about the bj portion and she did do some oral before moving on to fs.
Rip-Off Bitches should be called out, by name, anytime and anywhere they are encountered.
That might also describe my 4th ATF lol, which means her upside was way, way, way up. All time high. But yeah, technically one of my ATFs is also a ROB. I don't see the two things as completely incompatible, but occasionally messy. More on this later.
If you go to a restaurant and a Waiter recommends a dish or upsells you. And you end up not liking it. Do you refuse to pay and call them a rob?????

This ROB topic always get waved off like everybody sees it the same, but like anything else there's some nuance there.
I don't know if an outright thief was mentioned. Years ago a dancer actually picked my pocket while she was holding my dick. As far as I'm concerned she was a ROB in addition to being a thief.
But there are some dancers who are robs even with standard lapdances.
Some dancers have rules against grinding too long or more. Some are long dance robbers.
You could get a decent 10 minute dance but find in a 30 minute dance sbe spends half the time sitting around or posing
There was an anonymous stripper interviewed by some magazine who bragged about selling VIP rooms where she sits and talks for most of the time
There’s unfortunately a rob culture promoted by people like Icee... people competing over how much they can finesse

Is that a ROB Iceefag ?
A rob is a dancer who doesnt perform a dance, or otherwise doesnt perform the agreed upon services. If you go to a massage parlor and they dont perform it’s robbing
Also, the critical difference is that a server is recommending a product; they are not themselves the product. Servers don't have control over what gets cooked in the kitchen and the customer's ultimate evaluation of it. Dancers have control over what gets promised on the floor and then what gets provided in VIP.
And everyone above is also affirming that if they let a dancer use vague language and then don't enjoy the VIP, that's also not a ROB. They took a risk and it didn't work out. That's on them. But, similar to the scenario above, they probably won't put a lot of faith in that dancer in the future.
But you already know that. You're just unhappy that people aren't fighting and that they're also not conforming to the demonizing image that you project onto all strip club customers who aren't you.
The first dance is excellent. The second dance sucks - basically air dance with boobs in face. The DJ also cuts the second dance short.
Never again will I purchase a dance special.
Is an app that you download a paid version of and dislike a rob? Is a teeth whitening place a rob if you don't like your results? Grocery stores that bait and switch specials? An insurance ad on you never use?
But keep trollingnand baiting and inciting cacaplop. Coz thats what your intention is
(ie: trolling)
The first dance is excellent. The second dance sucks - basically air dance with boobs in face. The DJ also cuts the second dance short."
Eh. I wouldn't call this a ROB, really. A bad business practice and bad customer service, sure. But not a ROB. If the club cuts the second song short, then I might put that in a review, but not the bit about the dancer.
I'll also note that whenever I've been in a club that offers dance specials, I don't do them for this reason. I was in a club years ago and they ran a dance special. A dancer approached me and said, "Do you want to do the special with me? You get a free t-shirt." I told her that I'd never wear the t-shirt and I never do dance specials because dancers hate them and give mediocre dances. She promised that the two discounted dances would be excellent, but asked that if I enjoyed them, then would I promise to buy two more dances at the not-discounted rate. I took that offer, got four excellent dances, and she got paid. Smart dancer.
A ROB makes like she's going to do xyz and then doesn't or drops a big upcharge. Then maybe still doesn't deliver. Wants money for stuff she didn't do. Steals from you. Lies to try and get more dollars.
What's missing?
It's about lying, not sex.
Anyway, when a customer asks for a particular thing in VIP, it's not always about sex. Ultimately, if a dancer promises to do a specific thing, and then doesn't do that thing, then that's a ROB. Also, if a dancer promises to do a specific thing for $[X] money, but in VIP suddenly changes the price to $[X]+$200, then that is also a ROB.
As opposed to genetic tests, midgets, playlists, and whatever else...
A grown ass man of a certain age and who makes a good income should understand the unique advantages he has over a young naked girl who is half his age and has a fraction of his life experiences and resources. She has to be good enough to entice you to pay her good money for efforts, all the while dealing with other competing girls, guys who pull a variety of stunts and various other crap. Sure a certain amount of hustle is involved and she may even pad the bill a bit. So what?
I can count on one hand the number of girls I've dealt with in all these years who I would genuinely call a ROB, each involving direct theft or a flat out explicit bait and switch. Frankly I'm tired of whiny complaints in threads like this from guys who have infinite advantages over many of these girls.
And I'm not just talking about money and age advantages. I've lost track of how many pairs of panties I've removed OTC from hot young strippers. After doing the same shit countless times with many generations of dancers over the years it's almost instinctual now. The same buildup conversations; the same pickups on body language and tonal quality; the same buildup routines for the more reluctant girls; the same rapport building mechanisms to make a girl feel more comfortable dealing with me; etc., etc.
Anyway I'm running on now, but I for one will never view myself as a victim when dealing with these girls.
It's ok to throw a bone. And as I think I covered already, for me being a ROB is not necessarily a deal killer lol.
Anyway a rob is much more than extras.
What if a club advertises lapdances or full contact lapdances and you get a dancer doing an airdance? Do you really need to verify before paying if she’s going to do a proper lapdance or an airdance? And what if she does claim to offer a lapdance then offers an airdance?
What about dancers who just sit on or ride the thighs for the entire dance? Some or many guys may enjoy groping a dancer while she rides the thighs, but is it really a lapdance if she is only grinding the thighs for the entire dance? It comes down to how a lapdance is defined. if the club is advertising lapdances then an airdancer is a ROB unless she informs you before paying that she only does airdances. I would also expect someone at a full body massage parlor to tell me before paying if her massage is just an air massage where she blows on me instead of massaging with hands
At this point, you react to BTE's posts more than anyone else here. So, you're the problem.
And I suspect that you keep replying to an obvious troll because you lost SJG as a convenient foil to force threads into a lot of needless bickering and drama.
Anyway, my thanks to the majority who responded in good faith. It's appreciated.
Misogynistic bs isn't responding in good faith but you know that.
You made this thread knowing what would entail. You're the problem fucking idiot
So, is your next inevitable post the one I shouldn't respond to because having the last word is so important to you? I lose track.
You also said its fine if strippers rob people
🤭🤡😂😂😂
You don't have a point.
"Cim you baited cacaplop with this dumb thread ."
"Cim is the ultimate troll. He made this thread to give cacaplop a soap box..."
"cacaplop is on the soap box you made him. This was yoir intent fucking troll"
"Cim wallowing in giving cacaplop a soap box"
"But keep trollingnand baiting and inciting cacaplop."
"Cim trolled and gave cacaplop and weirdos a soap box for misogynistic bitter bs. That's what the thread is and he knew it would be."
"Cim you knowingly made this thread to give cacaplop a soap box. You get off on trolling and troll enabling."
At PoleKatz near Chicago, with most of the dancers, the 2-for-1 specials are the only way to get the most of the dancers to actually dance two full songs. They'll start in the middle of song otherwise. But, regardless, their dances are crappy anyway. They see by-the-song as a chance to be paid to badger you to buy an expensive half-hour. Supposedly great because you get "bottle service". Bottle up your ass.
Right now, dancers have to identify that the review is from a dancer's perspective somewhere in the body of the review (and many don't do that). It can be confusing for adjudicators if they don't figure out that it's a dancer doing the review. And it would be best if only dancers could judge those reviews, but I'm not sure that there are enough active dancers here to do that. Perhaps features like this could get more dancers to participate, but until then it would need to both customers and dancers judging the reviews (as it is now).
Also dancer profiles are clearly marked.
I do have a NOT-a-ROB story from two nights ago and I honestly haven’t seen such an amazing master of the arts in action for a long time.
OK before anyone gets their panties in a wad, prostitution is legal here. It is ubiquitous and out in the open. And like a kid with unlimited access to a candy store who soon loses his excitement for all the candy he can possibly eat, the gentlemen here partake when they feel like it and don’t walk around with their tongue hanging out.
This was not a strip club, it was a bar. No dancing but kind of like a hostess club but not exactly. Around 25-30 real employees, females just hanging around performing cocktail waitress duties to the six customers but mostly looking to catch your eye and sell their wares. Most of the women were hanging out on the street front deck as was I. I was waiting for the waitress in the restaurant a few doors down to get off work so where else to hang out having a beer but at Hookers-R-Us.
Interesting side note, I was approached by a number of girls but one was frustrated that I could not hear what she was saying and she pulled out her smart phone (that’s what you call it right? A smart phone?) Any way for some reason she kept typing into google translate which I have never seen before. The translation part wasn’t necessary but it was really strange to see “If you want sex we have a VIP room” and more typed out in English as she matter of fact explained the workings of the bar.
OK to the Not-a-ROB story. Across the deck was the most attractive girl in the place and we kept doing the eye glance thing but she didn’t come until I finally motioned her over. Her slowness in responding to eye contact which is a standard sign of interest led me down the path that I had already assumed. That was that she was young, shy, new to the business and uncomfortable in approaching customers. Either that or she wanted nothing to do with me (it happens).
She came over smiling sweetly as if she were relieved and happy that I had chosen her to talk to. I invited her to sit down and bought her a drink, a very expensive drink. As we waited for her drink to arrive, we did the normal introductory banter. She was 19, a university student and this was only her third night on the job. She felt very intimidated by so many beautiful women that she didn’t know how she would ever compete. I assured her she was the best looking girl there as my paternal instincts were taking over (poor sweet girl). At the same time my other head was having other ideas (she was stunning).
She thanked me for buying her drink when it arrived. It was a virgin margarita about six to eight ounces. To my amazement she emptied it like a shot of whiskey. Half sarcastically I said that I bet that was the first drink any one had ever bought her. She said yes it was, thanked me again and asked if she could have another one. Knowing that she gets kickbacks for the expensive ladies’ drink and not sure if maybe she was just really nervous, I agreed but told her she needed to slow down, that that isn’t how a ladies drink is supposed to work. She smiled an embarrassed smile while apologizing as I’m beginning to shake my head and laughing to myself.
She is sweet and charming so we continue until her drink arrives. She ignores it and I go back to being smitten. About two minutes go by as she plays me like a fish on the line when she picks up her drink and empties it in one gulp. I’m almost laughing out loud now and she asks if I’m hungry. I say no that I’m going out to eat in a little while. She then asked if I would buy her dinner. Now I know she isn’t the innocent inexperienced girl that I felt sorry for. I decline and say my good byes when she asks if I would please come back tomorrow night to see her. “Maybe we could go out somewhere”. I smile and say that I’m already thinking of coming back.
As I walk away she has an after-thought and a request. “When you come back if I’m with another guy or in the VIP, you know, please wait until I’m free”. No problem, I understand completely.
Bottom line is that she was not a ROB but a very skilled player of the game. Shit I could go broke chasing her, LOL.
Don’t confuse realizing you were played with being cheated.
There are many dancers with profiles on this site. Very few participate in discussions, but they log in to research clubs where they might work. It would be useful for them to be able to distinguish clearly between customer and dancer reviews.
Dancers get info on clubs from instagram. Ig pages. Google reviews. Private reddit groups. While I think tuscl has a lot of potential. It's not a major player for dancers.
One thing I think would make the site a lot better is if there was a way up or down vote reviews once they're posted. There are too many obviously fake reviews. Which in turn impact the veracity of the site in general.
By trying new things (and not necessarily what I'm suggesting), TUSCL could increase its visibility and utility for dancers.
As far as dancer reviews…dancers as a whole I don’t think are all that big into writing club reviews. There have been a number of platforms specifically for club reviews over the years that get a heyday, then die off, and then a different one will rise from the ashes. A lot of dancers are plenty happy to give intel when directly responding to a question or making casual conversation, but I think many are less motivated to “log” their experience the same way a lot of male customer tusclers are.
And the few who are more inclined to write reviews at the moment are more likely to write those reviews on an app that is specifically devoted to dancer reviews and it’s still active right now. And dancers can write reviews without people disparaging “useless” dancer reviews nor commenters talking smack about a club’s mileage.
I don’t think tuscl has a visibility problem, I think it has an image problem. And when a dancer does occasionally venture in and give club intel, and it’s not one of the “approved” clubs, then she will be either ignored or flamed. Neither is particularly encouraging. And most dancers are not like me who gets entertainment out of shitposting.
One example of a time a dancer ventured in, and was probably not all that motivated to stay. And that individual has contributed a LOT about club intel on other platforms. But who knows if she will ever contribute anything on tuscl ever again.

IMHO that has been a “challenge” not limited to dancers. As a lurker I distinctly recall a first-time review from someone about a club in Madrid. He was clear that he had about a 60% positive experience but went on to list a number of negatives and if I recall correctly recommended giving the club a pass. Then some moron savaged him and his review as a “club ad”. What kind of club advertises not to waste your time going there?
I watched for a while and the reviewer never showed up again.
Whoever could that be? It boggles the mind...
Can you expand on that?
Ask desert scrub. He keeps saying reviews ads where I said I had a mediocre time at Club Desire, or that it's gone downhill.
Talk about self awareness, hey Iceefag
Oh, would it ever be abused. But I wouldn't mind a reporting button for something that connects girls by name to extras or is otherwise inappropriate.
Problem is reviewers have very different standards. I think some idiots literally click approve down the line. Others have a reviewer who's obsessed with sliming a certain club.
But overall I think the current system works more often than not.
"I think some idiots literally click approve down the line."
Right now, DickyDoo2's ears are burning.
^^^@nicespice I am amazed and have much respect for you and other dancers that have stayed for so long. I have seen many more come and go here for all the reasons you stated. And the ones that do stay are a key reason that the boards stay alive. It would be a boring sausage fest here without dancers. So shitpost away. Please!
@nice: "I think it has an image problem"
Can you expand on that?”
Whenever tuscl gets brought up in dancer groups one in a while, there tends to be negative comments about the site. In my personal opinion only, some of it is deserved and some of it is not.
—>“IMHO that has been a “challenge” not limited to dancers. As a lurker I distinctly recall a first-time review from someone about a club in Madrid. “
And that’s a shame. I enjoy reading about what places are like in other countries, even if I personally will only realistically be in the contiguous 48 states. Maybe it would be a good idea to have a disclaimer in the review submission box that some feedback is bullshit haha
@sirlap Much appreciated 😋

And as far as mentioning ROB behavior, I guess if I was a male customer I’d personally keep neutral about using that term. I’d just simply describe whatever negative interaction happened, if I considered it worth mentioning, and allow others to come to their own conclusions.
I remember working at one club at one point that was known for extras and at that time had a higher volume of reviews on this site. And while I was going around being the new girl there, club regs would often buy a couple dances and then bring up, unsolicited, about a cabana. And I’d be like “sure” and then they would try to ask follow up questions about what I would do. And I just said some variant that it would be more fun, and then they would express their displeasure in a pretty clear way. One guy even told me once that my answer was “political”. I considered my behavior at that time as pretty neutral, but there was probably some who thought I was being a ROB judging by their reactions. Oh whale 🐳
And my impression here has been that you are one of the few. Though when the spirit moves me, I do try to give the reader enough information to answer whatever question someone might have and to paint a picture of the clubs.
Alright I just got off a plane and came that close (imagine something really close) to dying at the hands of a speeding car. I survived I’m sure only because there just wasn’t enough time for my life to pass before my eyes.
Because it’s you maybe I can go check out a local club and bang something out tonight or tomorrow.
No promises because as everyone has seen, I’m really lazy. I mean just this past week I couldn’t even take a prostitute to my hotel and make her gag on my ten inch member. I mean how lazy is that?
