The Difference Between a ROB and a semi ROB

A "semi-ROB" is a lot like "a little bit pregnant".

ROB is only fair if they lie about what did or will happen in the club. If you ask questions you shouldn't, like do you have a boyfriend, and they lie, you got what you had coming.

Often, when you ask about OTC, they'll say they'll think about it, even though the honest answer is no way in hell. Some might consider that being a semi-ROB. But it's kinda fair, as we don't have a right to know someone else's true private thoughts.

I've never seen the term semi-ROB, and ROB isn't used consistently. If a dancer gets called a ROB in a review with no explanation why, I wouldn't pay much attention to it.

Personally, I just accept it that strippers are about as honest as people selling an old fridge on Facebook Marketplace. It's easy to ruin your fun in strip clubs by having unrealistic expectations.

A rob is a girl that promises a certain service for a certain amount that you pay for upfront and then she doesn't do it.

A semi Rob takes the money and does something else and short changes you from what you first expected. Usually something that is disappointing from what you expected. Bait and switch.

I'm sure it's something that happened to most all of us.

I sometimes describe a dancer as displaying "robbish" behavior. She's not an out-and-out rip-off bitch, in that she'll lie about services, miscount dances, or do unnegotiated up-charging. But in order to sell LDs/VIPs, she might embellish the quality of services (like kissing), come across too scripted in her sales pitch (like I'm being sized up), or mechanical in VIP (like technically she delivered, but with none of the charm and warmth of our earlier conversation).

Probably my comment

It's basically providing a service much worse than what is expected at a club, like a mostly air dance at a Pompano club.

A semi ROB is another name for a ROB lite. It's all the matter of degree or the extent she is a ROB.

For example, she may miscount dances by adding an additional dance hoping you don't notice and, if called out on the miscount she will make a correction without too much effort on your part. In contrast, a ROB will add a few dances and then argue that the dance count is correct and you will have to threaten to go management. She may then lower the miscount somewhat hoping that you will agree just to end the confrontation.

In a VIP, she may provide good service for half the time and then be mechanical, cold and distant for the remainder. A ROB right from the get go is nothing like your earlier experience with her.

In the hundreds of trips I have made to strip clubs, whenever I have come across a stripper that could be described as a ROB or Semi Rob and then returned to that strip club a month later she was usually no longer there. I just see them one time. I do not know if they got fired, were planning to leave soon and then left, or the word just got around about what they are. So, in order to squeeze more money out of customers in the short term, they sabotage their ability to make money in the long term.

I consider a dancer who deliberately misquotes prices -- even club prices -- as a ROB. One dancer I met a couple years ago quotes me a half hour VIP at $400. Later I found out that a half hour VIP was supposed to be just $300, so, yeah, she added a ridiculous tip for nothing extra.

The next time I was in, she tried to get me to do another half hour. I flat out told her no and the reason why. She started hemming-and-hawing, and I told her a bit more bluntly no, especially when it came to the reason why. She left me alone the rest of the night.

Course, I'm not sure just what a semi-ROB or ROB-lite might be, unless it's just trying a shmooze a drink out of you and then giving you a half-ass lap dance as thanks.

Until it gets codified into federal law, the difference will be a subjective debate. My two cents is that a ROB outright lies about money for services. A semi ROB exaggerates or is intentionally vague and allows a customer to rip off himself by not seeing though the exaggeration.

Semi-rob isn't helpful of a term. If there is vagueness and the PL thinks things will go one way and things go another, then I blame the PL. I've been there plenty of times.

In my experience, I have honestly used the term "semi-ROB" twice.

The first was when I had a dancer with whom extra activities were negotiated for, payment was expected (and made) upfront, and then said activities actually occurred ---- for 5 or 10 seconds -- before they were subsequently stopped and not resumed.

The second was a dancer who said that her per dance charge was $30 in a $25 per dance room (acknowledged and agreed to ahead of time) and additional activities were negotiated and agreed to. After the dances were completed, the dance count was inflated (bad on me for not confirming), she asked for a "per dance" tip until I pointed out she/we had already agreed to that before going in, and then when I tipped her for the additional activities, she said that my tip was short $100 dollars -- until I pointed out the $100 dollar bill lying on the floor between her feet.

ROB or Semi-ROB? You all can make the call

A rob miscounts dances (always in her favor) or sells you a lap dance and your lap remains virginal. I don't partake of extras, but I'm sure that's a whole nother can of worms, hopefully not literally.

Oh, and an example of a semi-rob is a dancer doing a 2-for-30 promo at Boardroom Cabaret giving you 1.5 dances instead of 2. Most will actually give you 2.5, depending on the timing.

There;s this chick Antonella at Cheetah's POmpano who starts dances at the end of a song and will tell she will make it up at the end and then ends at the first half of the song.

Not sure if that's semi-Rob or full ROB, but if she has the intent, then full ROB

If she does anything shady whether it’s a rob or semi rob never give her money ever again no matter what comes out of her mouth of making it up to you. If more guys did this we’d cut the behavior out fast. I’ve cut off strippers for over counting dances, telling me a price I knew was wrong, and other bullshit. Then they will approach me and wonder why I don’t like them anymore and pout. Well fuck them. I consider it money well spent to permanently get rid of a rob or scamming bitch. The good ones who understand this business and have long time clients never pull this crap.
