Any more stripper speak translations from section 2 in your post that newcomers ought to keep in mind? Never actively thought of any of these, but the four you listed along with the true takeaway make a ton of sense as things to possibly look out for when it comes to stripper talk.

Not a fan of how lucky a guy needs to get nowadays to pair up with a woman that can actually pull off the whole marriage unit thing. I'm inclined to agree the online memes and commentary about how men who are less than 8 out of 10 in the dating market to be utterly invisible non-existent people to women. It might actually be worse in some localized instances, but directionally, I find this to be true. First, as many have mentioned, the proportion of women that are outright ineligible for marriage has skyrocketed. I'm talking about ones where you don't need to think at all, it's comically obvious as soon as you glance at them or hear a sentence or two about who they are or what they've been up to. For simplicity's sake, let's call these the "True negatives" (as in, true, they're absolutely not marriage material). Second, even worse, the number of women who signal that they're marriage material but absolutely are not has also gone up. A.k.a. the false positives: looks like marriage material, but are not in reality. This includes the massively faked redemption arc born-again-jesus bullshit that they pull at around 30 or almost 40 if they're slow. These ladies either learn to advertise or act out a certain persona so that the light reflects just right off of them. I'd argue that this is actively malicious compared to the first category above, as at least those women haven't made it their life's mission to deceive a sucker into marrying them. Third, even if you do chance upon a girl that's not either of the two categories mentioned above (a true positive, getting awfully rare as a % of the total population of marriage-age women), the current cultural climate seems to have multiple avenues for encouraging her into to choose the life of a divorcee. Throw in the divorce laws and fiscal penalties, and it all looks like a steaming pile of garbage. Or at least to me, it does. Net-net, if you add up the upkeep, opportunity cost, and potential looming financial risks, not an awful lot of women make this whole marriage thing look remotely viable. Unless, of course, you value having your own children immensely, to the point that it more than offsets all of the obvious negatives that we've all been bleating about. For now, I think I'm also in the camp where I'll rely on a patchwork of less-than-ideal substitutes for the real thing. Maybe I should be worried, but living this way has been surprisingly pleasant. Then again, I'm one of those average guys that's alright with his life. Neutral day-to-day living has inherent value to me. It's just not some epic life that can be used as social media marketing material. Most women (vanilla relationships) don't seem to add any extra value. They just cost me.

@Manuellabore Resonates with me. Might reflect aspects of my own journey through the world of strip clubs. Then again, I could have just aged out of my heavy introversion. It's been many years. Lots more experience under my belt, in multiple avenues. But I like the training wheel analogy. For some introverts, SC's probably really do help to get the ball rolling when it comes to getting out of their shell. Have to shell out some dough, but get some easy reps in for those beginning stages.

Seconding funonthaside. A lot of women aren't too far from being nothing more than a lizard-brain limbic system. You don't ask those how to attain sweet kitty. They're likely evolved to not be straight-up about it- it's against their own interest to tell bad DNA (graded based on their own genetically codified instincts) how to circumvent the girl's defenses and impregnate them anyways. Sometimes you see it in public spaces. Saps follow the girls' spoken word, then whine endlessly about how it never works for years on end, yet somehow the years-long outcome in the making never rings any bells for these poor saps. While it can be helpful to hear different perspectives, logic takes too much of a backseat in discussion spaces when too many ladies dominate the communication. In terms of cost-benefit, quality of advice will likely remain higher if dancer participation remains lower in spaces like this.
