How Do I More Efficiently Reject Dancers and Dance Offers?

The only downside to going to strip clubs, for me, is dealing with unwanted offers for dances and unwanted attention. I typically look for the few dancers I find attractive and initiate with them because I am not shy. But before that happens, I generally stand alone nursing my drink while I see who is there on that night.

Invariably, the least attractive (often overweight or old) dancers come up to me to initiate conversation designed to lead to a private dance offer. I generally tell them I am waiting for someone else and they go away. But sometimes, they are bold enough to caress my biceps or chest uninvited, or even grasp my crotch and all of these cross my boundaries.

Question: How do you guys deal with unwanted physical contact? I generally softly move their hand from my body, but they like to stand there and debate or bicker due to hurt feelings. I never respond directly but I again tell them I am waiting for someone, or I walk away. What strategies do you guys use to quickly dispose of unwanted physical contact or attention from the girls you don't like?

My patented phrase is " I'm waiting on someone. " Which is kinda true. I'm waiting on someone different than that girl.

Or just " No thank you. "

What's wrong with just "No thank you"?

"I'm waiting on someone" just gives her an opening to offer to get the other one, and possibly queer your chances with the other one.

"No right now" encourages her to come back.

In face, anything except a firm "no" politely delivered, gives her an excuse to continue pestering her.

Anything but acceptance of your response, which includes any form of "why not" or "do you not like me", should just elicit the same "No, thank you" again.

To paraphrase Cliff Clavin: "Boundaries. Can't live with 'em, pass the beer nuts". Wonder if OP has the same objection if an attractive dancer he's never met grabs his hog.

I ask her name. Then say no thank you and I know who to ask for if I change my mind

On your way to a club stop in a walmart and purchase a fake badge from the toy section. When approached in the club just tell her no, then flash the badge and tell her it's official. Works every time, very efficient.

Sometimes the dancer, as she approaches, will ask, "Are you waiting for someone?" or "Can I join you?" If you don't want to run the risk of her asking follow-up questions, you can look away, don't make eye contact, and simply say, "No thank you."

Several guys have suggested "No, thank you," but if it were that simple, I would not be asking here. The girls don't just offer dances at step one, they initiate conversation and sometimes even ask my name and we both know why. Saying "No, thank you" to general conversation would be unduly rude which triggers stripper drama. "I'm waiting for someone" works far better, but my problem is with the handsy, touchy feely girls who IMPOSE themselves on you. I find that Latina dancers do this a lot (maybe due to the language barrier) and unattractive and/or older dancers do it. How do you get these girls to keep their hands to themselves without triggering drama?

If their leading question is something other than "Wanna dance? (Like, "What's your name?"), I'll succinctly answer, and then say something like, "Hey, thanks for stopping by, but I'm not getting dances now." If she persists, like "Why not?" or "I was just going to talk," etc., that's when it's "No thanks, baby." Repeat as often as needed. Even the most egregiously invasive and grabby dancers will break it off after it becomes clear you don't want to engage.

At a central NJ club with many older "performers", I had to deal with a few undesirables that would not take a "no" or "waiting for someone" or less than $1-2 barside tip. I found that keeping my phone out, checking it now and then, and "I'm waiting for a call" worked often. When it wasn't enough, turning the phone lens towards them stopped their routine. Simply looking intently at the current stage dancer never stopped a tip parade walker from trying for their small tip.

"How do you get these girls to keep their hands to themselves without triggering drama?"

@BASP

I fully understand your frustration with this, but I've not personally discovered a way to completely eliminate the problem. Those aggressive tactics probably work on enough guys that some dancers might be willing to try them with just about everyone.

One phrase you could possibly try...

"I'm respecting YOUR personal space, so would you please respect MINE as well?"

I have no idea if that might sometimes get the results you want, since I've never tried to use it myself. But off the top of my head, it sounds like a pretty gentle way of saying "please get your damn hands off of me"... 😂 A translator app can tell you how to say the equivalent phrase in Spanish as well...

If you decide to try it, please report back and let us know if it works... 😁

quit having feelings - you are not offending everyone and you are not going to marry anyone - tell them to fuck off and get what you want - GROW A PAIR OF BALLS

You could sneeze a couple times, then sniffle hard and wipe your nose on your sleeve. If that doesn't dissuade her, I don't know what will. Course, it'd probably also chase away most every other dancer, too.

Nodding or smiling at another dancer (hopefully one you know or want to know) is quick to discourage an aggressive dancer.

And there's always just plain ignoring her -- don't look at her, don't talk to her, don't do anything -- no matter what she's doing. I know it's rude -- I've done it a couple times -- but eventually they take the hint.

Rejecting a girl you’re not interested is not fun, and usually kind of awkward. There is no easy way to do it.

My question is, how is it the year 2026, and there hasn’t been some type of innovation created that would allow the strippers to know when we are interested in them? This would make things a lot smoother. Something, I don’t know, an app, some type of tablet with a roll call of all of the girls working at the club and you can select the various girls you like, even some type of signal, something.

"No thanks", "I don't want company", "I'm just here to watch the stage", etc works just fine. Some times they stomp away mumbling about how you're an ahole"....in which case, they prove to you they are not worth your money or attention; other times, they stay and prove they are worth the time, and you end up having a great experience. Never, though, spend money on a girl merely because she graces you with her presence, particularly if you tell her you're not interested.

I once sent a girl away, to which she responded with "then go to a regular bar". Sweetie, if I wanted to engage in idle chitchat, I WOULD go to a regular bar. I'm at a strip club because I want to see coochie without putting forth effort.

I just tell them I am not going to be buying lap dances for awhile and they should not waste their time sitting with me. This is true because I want to see what girls are in the club before I make my choice. When I arrive, some will be in the lap dance area or dressing room or are late for work. They are never all out on the floor.

Anything more than no thanks invites further conversation. If she's not for you stick with that. If she's truly a maybe later, give her a time frame or a window, let me have a couple of beers and get acclimated works for me

The unsolicited and unwanted physical contact is annoying, but all part of the strip club game. I usually just say that I’m not doing dances. Sometimes they ask why not? But as soon as they realize thyre not making any $ from me they move on.

First I thought the complaint about "girls not keeping their hands to themselves" was either a lame attempt at humor or a lame attempt at a humblebrag, but I see others chiming in agreement. Do you people get mad at the ladies in hairnets in Costco who try to ply you with free samples?

Avatar for ClubFan81077

@Manuellabore How is subjecting another human to unwanted (and sometimes rather intimate) physical contact anything remotely like being offered a free sample at Costco? I've been offered lots of free samples at various stores during my lifetime, and not one of those offers has ever included a tug on my junk...lol

Look, my rules about respecting other people's bodies and boundaries don't change just because I walk into a strip club. I realize that not everyone will share that view, but that's how I roll. I still expect the women I meet in clubs to show the same respect to me that I show to them. Now, let's be real...am I always going to get that respect? No, I'm not, and I fully understand that my boundaries will sometimes get violated in clubs. But just because I tolerate a certain amount of that shit doesn't make it right...

I would never go do dances with a girl that hovers near the door like a vulture . I like to settle in and see the lineup . Whoa whoa I just got here

Avatar for BASP

@Manuellabore Ah, no. It's neither an attempt at humor nor is it a humblebrag because as I explained prior, it is never the attractive ones who resort to that. It is always overweight, older, or less attractive dancers who do it. Perhaps it is because they feel the need to be more aggressive to be noticed. Whatever the case, it does not justify criminal battery or the occasional sexual assault (grabbing crotch packages, twisting guys' nipples, etc.) If you think non-consensual and unwanted physical contact on customers is ok, then you are definitely part of the problem we discuss here.

@Package I am the same way. The vulture types reek of desperation and seek to get what they can from a just arrived customer before he sees all the hotter girls in the club.

@BASP, I doubt there are any "hurt feelings" when a dancer gropes you and you say no. It's probably more an attempt, conscious or not, at a guilt trip and then a sales.

In most cases, if you feel overwhelmed by pushier strippers, you probably didn't drive to the club. Only the very worst of them match the misery of buying a car at a dealership. If the club is turning a blind eye to objectively obnoxious stripper/staff behavior, it probably will not be worth going to, for a long list of reasons.

Avatar for BASP

@ilbbaicnl Well it should be obvious that we are discussing the very worst of them. Not sure why that was not clear to you. And no, car salespeople do not go around committing battery and sexual assault on prospective buyers, but nice try dismissing the gravity of what some of these women are doing.
