    I am friends with a dancer who tells those really hardcore lies that most think are appalling. I also won't go into detail about what she lies about but it's nuts. She's got a handful of guys she just strings along at any given time. A lot of it is OTC. Her house is gorgeous and her kids are well provided for. The girl is floating in cash. I always think that one day it might come back to bite her in the ass somehow, like a guy gets disgruntled and flips out because she lies so much and makes empty promises.

    I'm also a little jealous I guess. I've been around her when she hustles and it's really incredible. Once I went on a dinner "date" with her and a guy and pretended to be her sister. He gave us both money, and I felt a little weird about the whole thing. I couldn't really come up with things like that on my own.

    I can't lie to save my life most of the time. Some lies are okay, but when it gets astronomical and way out in left field, I can't keep up or even have the imagination to start it in the first place. I'm more of a "give me money for being me" kinda gal.

    to the customers that are mean, I tell them that yes my dance name is my real one and that parents were weird. To my regulars they know my middle name. As for the rest, the aren't entitled to know that much about me. My accent is obviously not Mississippi, it is New Orleans twang. There is no hiding that, so my excuse for being up here is the hurricane, even though it isn't the real reason.
    Otherwise, lies don't serve any purpose. I sell better if I don't have to.

    I used to always take pride in telling the truth about my life, more or less, which is a weird enough life that it makes an entertaining story.

    But I get the feeling that when I go back, I'm going to change my persona and my hustle quite a lot, and mix it up a bit more. Not about the daily life details, but background, etc.

    I'm not sure anyone would BELIEVE me about the last few years. "Yeah... I got a second degree, opened a business, experimented with a gender transition, and then spent a year as a teacher in China.... what?"

    For some reason I think it's easier for them to swallow that you're *in* school than that you've *finished* it...

    Part of my aversion to lying is that... oh, it's hard to explain: I don't mind telling a wild story, but I don't like being misleading. But it's like... the actual reality of my life is now so far from anything I could possibly represent in the strip club that I don't even have to worry about representing it anymore. Anything I could tell WOULD be a wild, outlandish story, whether it was fact or fiction. "Girl next door" is the craziest story of all. And that makes me feel free.

    There's some basic autobiographical information that's fabricated, like: where I'm from, my "real" name, where I live. I keep it consistant, so I don't even have to think about it, it just pops out of my mouth.

    Once in a while, I'll throw out a totally random little fib. The other night I told a customer that my mom was a mail-order bride. But he found that fascinating...I think he thought it was more "real" that a stripper would have that kind of background than my own relatively normal background. I do stuff like this occasionally, just to keep myself amused. I think it's pretty harmless, and falls under the "entertainment" part of my job.

    And of course, if the question is "Do you really like me?" then I lie like hell.

    For the lies that girls tell about needing money for medical procedures, children, debts to the mob, or whatever, I just can't do it. It's, like, too much effort for me or something.

    The girls I know who do this are more "lifestyle" strippers than I am. They meet customers outside of the club, let them pay for major purchases in their lives, and keep up this persona with them the whole time. For me, that's too much work and too much of my time to give up. I like to go to the club, dance, go home, and do my own thing in my own time.

    Last fall I had this customer who always asked how he could "help me." I think he probably wanted to be told some crazy reason I needed money, and maybe I should have done it, but in the end it sounded like it would involve too much blurring of the lines between my dancer persona and my real self, which I'm just not into.

    ^^^ Yeah! Stuff like that. I want to shoot for some combination of slightly different things that would still produce the same speech and mannerisms I have. Be an alternate-universe clone of me. :-)

    Lies with malicious intent are not cool, but trivial details are game in my book.

    Viola- you rock. Your post just summed it up perfectly, with great examples of why it pays to sell the fantasy--I have a tendency to feel guilty sometimes for lying to the "nice guy" but your Scott story reminded me that I don't 'owe' any custy anything & they are playing the game, too. At the end of a successful night, if I had to lie to create a good relationship with a custy & spend all night in the CR, it's no big deal, we both can laugh about it when we think of it the next day, but I'll be the one laughing all the way too the bank. So thank you!!!

    I expect you guys to lie about small stuff like; your name, occupation, where you live, material status, etc....
    And your standard, your so hot and sexy lies. You know, standard lies people tell each other. After all I have my strip club name and occupation.

    It is not cool to lie just for pumping someone for cash. Lies like, I got robbed last night and need cash, my baby is sick and I need cash, I was in a car accident and have a lot of bills and need cash, my significant other (hubby/bf/gf) was killed/died and need cash. Those are all true lines told to me/us through out my/our club experience.

    I loved reading through this thread.

    The stories I tell are sometimes my favorite part of my job. I can't really add anything that hasn't been said. Y'all have pretty much covered the basics around what's ethical in telling stories.

    I have decided that before I stop dancing entirely, I'm going to get a big tattoo of some platform heels. It'll be really trashy with a big banner that says "Vivian". I've decided that if anyone asks, I'm going to tell them that its a tribute to my ex-girlfriend who's dead.

    Will the lies ever end?

    I have my one cover Story.
    1) I trained as a nurse, but Im (back) stripping cos the work is too emotionally demanding
    2) Stage name Celeste, Real name Jessica (interchangeable)
    3) My Twin sister is married and 'normal'
    4) Im a Lesbian and have wild orgies with my stripper girlf every night.

    All half truths, but the same things Ive said for 6 years.

    Last night four guys in VIP told me and my friendso they worked as deep sea divers on oil barges. The guy I was matched up with faked like he was Russian, and like he knew little English. I know some conversational Russian, and when I busted that out he had to confess he was from England. One finally cracked and told my friend they actually really manufacture the filling for stuffed animals.

    Don't think they always tell us the truth!
