Subject: ASSC: AFTSD Delurking and the infinite empty wallet

*yawn* morning.

some of you might remember me from IRC yesterday (well, maybe 4 of you
anyway). Taking the hint "AFTSD is a great way to delurk" I decided to post
and bitch a little about the hell that his living in Virginia and enjoying
SC's.

First, for those who don't know, Virginia is almost exclusively a
Bikini/Pasties
type of state. I know of 3 that are actually, really topless and to do so
they
don't serve alcohol. One place I know of does laps, but I haven't been yet.

oh yeah, and I'm 22. So I'm probably the youngest :)

Anyway, I have this little problem. I'm a big sucker. Yup, I admit it. I'm
the
idiot that sits at the stage and drops 5 dollars a song, in Virginia where
the
average is probably somewhere around $.50 judging by the cheap schmucks
I've seen. Of course, I've been trying to figure out why I'm like this,
since I'm
getting no contact, no nudity, and generally (there are a few noteable
exceptions) no more conversation than anyone else tipping $1 a song.

Is it that I feel sorry for them? Nah, its not that. Hell, most of them, in
Virginia at least, are not the crack smoking, abusive boyfriend, 3 kids
and a trailer type. My fav place, JB's gallery of girls #4, has a habit of
hiring ex-beach bunnies in their early 20's. Deadly for me, since those were
the girls I always wanted to hang out/talk to (yes, where do I sign up for
my
Pathetic Loser card?).

Anyway, what brought this all on was Monday night. I went out to the
previously
mentioned club, settled in, noticed that SHE was there. I'd only seen her
once
before, about 2 months before that. Blonde, small, tall, etc. Cute southern
accent. So I move to the stage when her set starts. She looks down at me
smiles and says "Hey, I've danced for you before, but it was a long time
ago."

*SNAP* (the sound of my backbone)

She dances, I drop dollar bills. Good arrangement I think.

Her set finishes and she leaves. Comes up a little later to bum a smoke,
then
leaves to change. Comes back up for another set and just sits down in front
of me and has a 20 minute conversation with me about her cats, school, how
tired she is, instead of doing her set. I'm waiting for her manager to get
pissed and he doesn't seem to care. I'm throughly confused. She tells
the girl replacing her (evidently a friend) as she's leaving "be nice to
him,
we're going to take him home later and fuck his brains out" Her friend says
"Oh good, I haven't been laid in the longest time"

And it finally clicked. Thats why I go. The tease. I could go out to a
singles
club, stand around, buy drinks, and might get a small fraction of what I get
at SC's. Of course, I might actually get laid from an encounter at a singles
bar, something I neither expect or hope for at a SC.  I've noticed my own
tipping practices and realized that I tip more for "personality" (acting
really
I guess, but I'm sure there's at least one dancer that is just nice?) than
physical features, nastiness of dancing, etc.

Oh well, this has been rambling so i'll shutup.
