Dancers talking trash about other dancers is a common theme in Baltimore, at least on the Block. Girls do this all the time when I sit with them. They will say, things about another girl's body but mostly it is, " that girl does such as such drugs, or I heard she has an STD, or that girl is always doing VIPs". Most of the time it's because the dancers are jealous of other girls making $$ and want to keep guys from bouncing from stripper to stripper. I don't buy into any of the crap, but it doesn't stop them from saying stuff to me anyway.

Harrydave has some great points.
You have to remember, strippers are not there to meet someone to date. If that was the case, they would be in a bar (not strip club).
I'm not saying u can't have fun , but it is highly unlikely a dancer is looking for something more than $$. Example of this is last night I was sitting with a stripper I've met OTC and she introduced me to her friend who is new at the cub. She said to me," finally I meet someone normal tonight. We should hang outside this club, maybe go to an Orioles game so here's my #". She entered it in my phone, and then called it right there so I knew it was hers. For a minute I thought she might not be about the $$ till I got a text at 2:47 AM from her asking if she and her girlfriend I knew could stop by for a threesome with me.

motorheadFat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
I've had dancers ask me about hanging outside the club, dinner, etc and we've done that and nothing else. Other times it's just a way for them to say, hey, they want sex for some $. Sometimes it's to a motel but a few actually asked for $ in addition to going to dinner. So make sure u are clear about what they want upfront.

Unless I've chilled with the dancer before, I usually wait to check in with the girl. They may ask u to text them the room number but that is risky. Someone could show up, or their boyfriend/ex might check their phone and see it later. (Dancers are not usually thinking about deleting their messages).
Never had anything strange happen except for one time the girl pulled out a goldpointsplus card at the Radisson front desk when I gave her cash for the room. She told me since she's there a lot she decided she may as well earn gold points.

Interesting viewpoints. From my observations, I've seen many dancers getting annoyed at the fact that some girls are, "doing bottles", "VIPs" or whatever the term is in a particular club. They all have their reasons but the truth is that those dancers are raking in the $$ for themselves and the club. If it was just about dancing, then clubs would post the LD prices and remove the VIP rooms.

GK: LMAO, if you just met her that only means she's put you in her marketing plan and when she's going to work she intends to send out a text or voice mail blast to dozens/hundreds of numbers in her phone book. She probably even has a separate cell phone for her club "friends." If she dones't, she's simpsly not very organized.
There is a HUGE difference between a stripper much less any girl asking for your number and her giving you her number, LOL!

The fact she gave you her phone number is a good sign but remember most strippers have a lot of drama going on in their lives outside the club. So chances are she got caught up in some crazy s--- and couldn't show up. In B-more, girls don't have set schedules to dance but the clubs will charge the dancers $$ if they don't show up on time for a shift. It helps a little bit but most dancers are still unreliable as far as if they will show on a given night.

Once in awhile, I will ask my bank teller to give me $50 in $1 bills but the majority of the time, I just save any $1 bills I get from breaking a $20/$10/$5 bill. Usually after 1 1/2 weeks, I have a decent amount of $1 bills. I am not about making it rain in a club but having enough to tip throughout the nite as needed.

Dancers used to get jealous when I would sit with different girls but that all stopped when I told one that I didn’t complain about how many guys she sat with so she shouldn’t get jealous if I sat with other dancers. It also helps if you get to know the bartender/s well because many of them (at least the good ones) know the dancers and can help you avoid lot of the stripper drama.
I don’t do VIPs in the club so I can’t comment on that aspect except to say that sometimes the rooms according to the dancers are not very spacious and the clock is running once you decide to go there. In a club, the VIP could cost $150 but the dancer might only see $80 of that and then you have to tip her at least another $100 on top of the $150. So you are talking $250 minimum for 30 minutes assuming the bouncer gives you the full half hour.
The alternative is to meet a dancer outside the club, which is what I do and that seems to work better. The dancers prefer it because they get more money and I don’t feel as pressed for time and it’s usually only $150 for a minimum of 1 hour.

I’m sure some dancers change their stories depending on who they are sitting with but I believe that most of the ones I’ve met in Baltimore are not that concerned about what they say as long as they are getting $$. I’ve chilled with quite a few outside the clubs and generally their stories all seem to add up with what they told me in the club. Ex. living in a hotel with their mom and kid, sharing a place with another dancer, taking a few classes at a community college, etc.
Now what they occasionally slip up on is the level of their respective addictions. In the club they might say they are only an occasional pot smoker but in reality, they are a heavy heroin or percocet user. And it becomes quite obvious the longer you spend time with them outside of a club.

Steve229: this actually happens a lot in the clubs I go to in Baltimore. I even had one girl text me on my phone while I was sitting with another dancer to ask if she was treating me right,lol. With the way the economy is right now, and fewer guys with $ in the clubs, (at least in B-more) the dancers are more observant about who is spending $ and who isn't.

$400 is a lot. If you are a regular there, and tell the doorman and/or bartender, I'm sure they would take your word over hers. For me, I never bring my wallet into a club. Always carry a set amount of cash and separate it into pockets. $1's in one pocket, $20 in another, and misc change received from the bar ($5's and $10's) in another.

Here in Baltimore, one could say the turnover is high but the girls tend to change clubs fairly frequently. I'd still say the average time for a dancer working here though is about 2-3 years.

I know a dancer in Bmore that was paid by the bar with 3 fake $20 bills. She showed me one and when I compared it to a real $20 bill, it was damm near hard to tell the difference. And she showed me this outside the club at a Starbucks.

I know quite a few girls that don't have proper id (they don't have a driver's license or state id) so they can't exactly open a bank account easily. They also quickly spend the $$ they earn on food, taxis, baby sitters, cigs, rent in some cases, etc, so the $$ goes quickly.

Farmerart has spent more than me because last year(2010), my total budget was: $12,190. But I'm including SC's and outside club activities with dancers as well.

Wow, ok I can be somewhat verbose at times too but dude, your post was LONG! But here are my thoughts on your question, which was “how do you know if a dancer is actually being genuine with her conversations and that she enjoyed her time with you or if she is just telling you what she thinks you want to hear?â€
I enjoy my time in clubs just as much as the next guy. Most times, it is just to go and have a few beers, enjoy the show, and maybe get a dance or two. But once in awhile, it’s possible to meet a dancer that isn’t a drug addict, can actually hold a decent conversation, and seems to be genuine in her interest with you. One way to figure this out is to ask her for her # and set up a time/place to meet. If she agrees, and actually shows up then that’s a start,lol. If you both chill together and she doesn’t ask u for some $$ afterwards well then u are in a different category than just a regular guy at the bar. But the reality is that for 97% of the dancers, their mind is on their money and money is on their mind; afterall, it is their job.

There is no DJ at the Chez Joey. Girls have to use $ or credits in the machine.

Had a similar experience at this club too. Also if you ask for a drink from a bartender and it is not her area/section of the bar, sometimes she won't assist you. Most dancers also don't even ask you for a tip after they come off stage. They just walk around the bar, stand in front of you pressing their tits together with their hands, and wait till you tip them. Odd.

If the bartender you mentioned was Luscious, she is no longer working there. She was cool and definitely let you get your money's worth. Julie is ok (another bartender) but you have to get to know her. There still is smoking by the side door inside the club but it seems it is only for the dancers. Strange cuz they open the door a little which leads to a fire exit and smoke while still standing practically in the bar area but won't let guys smoke there.

Hey Eagle1191, the club is now closed during the days because there are not enough dancers to work the shift. Gypsi the longtime doorman died last month and now the club mostly operates using the upstairs area. The downstairs is still open at nights but u will be lucky to find more than 4 girls working.

I agree with this review because the lap dance area is the worst I have ever seen in a club. And I have been to a lot of clubs. Even the dancers there complain about it because they can't get a good position on u when they are dancing. It's not a chair or sofa; it's a black bench nailed into the wall. Upstairs has 2 VIP rooms but if you get the smaller room (the one without the shower) it is essentially a closet. One small narrow table more suitable for a massage but nothing else. Oh and did I mention it is 96 degrees in there year round and no ventilation?

I agree with your observations about the lap area. It is facing the rest of the bar at the back of the club so there is no privacy and I have spoken to the owner Ernie about it. The sofa is screwed into the wall so he says he can't move it. I checked and it is but if he unscrewed it n, flipped it around and made it more private, folks would buy lap dances.
