I'm a dancer, and I have to say, the "don't accept a dance" routine is old. I have plenty of customers that I genuinely enjoy as people. They're fun, great to talk to, and treat me no differently when I'm dancing, I'm sure, than they would if they'd met me in "real life." These are the customers who really make the job fun. If you're a dancer who doesnt like people and doesn't like to socialize, you won't make money, no matter how great your tits are.
HOWEVER, there's another side to it. I expect men to also respect the fact that when I'm there, no matter how much I like them, I am working. If a guy takes it personally because I won't sit with him for hours on end when he's refusing to buy dances or tip because he "just wants to talk" or "respects me too much", that means he doesn't really respect what I do for a living. Would you go into a restaurant and expect the waitress to neglect all of her other tables just because you want to talk to her? Of course not. The principle is the same.
Generally I think if you want to date a stripper, BE A GOOD CUSTOMER FIRST. Or have a better reason for wanting to date a woman in the first place than the fact that she looks good naked dancing around a pole.
