So you're chatting w/ a guy out on the floor, maybe having a drink, occasionally punctuated by table dances; or maybe you're trying to build up to a closing line. Suddenly he shifts the conversation to something immensely depressing, like visiting children in the hospital burn ward, or wanting to die before age 60 so he doesn't have to see his kids die before him, or he's a soldier and WANTS to die in Iraq during his next tour. Basically death doom & gloom. Things that I find it really difficult to console people about, let alone deal with myself.
Obviously the guy didnt come into the club wanting to drunkenly mull over depressing shit. He doesn't give the impression of the guy who "wants someone to listen", he just sort of inadvertently directs the convo that way cuz he can't stop thinking about it.
What do you do?
It's not a good time for a "hey that girl on stage has some hot boobs! Let me show you mine!" distraction. That's too insensitive.
Then again if I just sit there nodding my head while the guy goes on and on I'm not really doing my job as an entertainer, am I? And I can't just sit there all night for free.
Any good lines? Suggestions to lighten the mood without being insensitive or coming off as money-hungry?
