Can I Borrow a Dove?
Saturday, April 12, 2008 12:49 AM
That is a text message that I received from a stripper who had previously been to my home. :) It really caught me off guard that she was texting me (her first text to me, btw) because I had told her that I only wanted to see her in the club and it had been a few months since her last visit. The problem was the she wanted to charge for full service even when I just wanted dances (not uncommon). She said it was the time that was important not the sex. She had expected to do full service and thus charge more. Like so many strippers she assumed I wasn't telling the truth when I said I just wanted to buy dances. Nice girl and really beautiful, but out of my league price wise, but worth every dollar and more from what I could see. She is telling me $300 and up and that doesn't surprise at all. If I'd known her longer, then maybe I would have broken my piggy bank. But, it just doesn't make sense for me to spend so much when I'm happy with just dances.
Of course, I had zippo idea of what a "dove" was. Fortunately, and unfortunately I had another stripper with me at the time. I asked her what a dove was and she starts laughing saying you don't know what a dove is? And, then she wanted to know why I'm asking. Probably *bad news* for me that she liked and respected the dancer that was asking. And, she wanted to know the whole history and everything. Finally, I learned that a dove is a $20. :)
I call the dancer back asking why she needs $20 and she says it is so she can work (a surprisingly common problem for strippers at Angels; they borrow from each other many times to pay the fee). I say NO problem. But, I didn't feel comfortable with having 2 dancers at the same time under those particular circumstances so my plan was just give her a $20 and be done with it. I knew that could cause problems, but I couldn't think of a solution at the time.
In record time the dancer is over for her $20. She was shocked to see the other dancer and apologized for interupting. She took the $20 and that was that except now the other dancer had green eyes. Why does she get $20 without working? That's not fair! Etc. My past treatment of her seemed to not exist. She was just focused on the unearned $20 and I knew this was a risk beforehand. :(
She didn't forget about that unearned $20 even weeks later. In fact, I gave up and gave her a $20 so she could *hopefully* move on. Instead, I learned, she did what I was fairly certain she would do. She mimicked the other dance with a slight change. She started texting customers asking for a "duve" changing the "o" to "u."
I thought it was very interesting that she seemed to put much higher value on the "free"/unearned money than on the earned money. LOL! :) Strip clubbing is fun.
