I keep doing it more and more. Go in take the girl your into, to the VIP and get the hell out.
Not all of this ahh let me test dances with this girl, uhh let me try out this girl, tip all these girls on stage, get these drinks, tipping all these bartenders. Before you know it, you've spent damn near what it takes to go to VIP in the first place. A lot of times I cut all that shit out. B line it. As the crow flies. Get in, pull the trigger and GTFO.


That works only if the girl performs as expected. While I agreee that test dances cost money, and a good LD does not guarantee a good VIP, I've had enough weak LDs over time to be glad I didn't dive into VIP sessions with girls.
Just as stage shows are a test for LDs, LDs are tests for VIP. Or, at least get some barside chat/playtime before heading to VIP.
