We have all seen it, from customers, dancers, and male staff alike.
It seems to me that delusional thinking is very common in this business. But then again the business is based on providing a fantasy (or maybe reality in the extras clubs lol--but even then there are deceptions and delusions going on), so that might not be such a surprise.
Of course the delusions will vary widely, depending on the deluded ones' positions in the stripclubs. Often the delusions are completely opposite, but that doesn't stop either deluded party from scoffing at the slightest hint that they could be mistaken.
What is really interesting is the tenacity with which certain delusions are held, in spite of any and all evidence to the contrary.
Customer delusions:
Strippers are all horny, all the time, especially at work.
Stripclubs are a great place for me to meet women to date, and that is why most of the dancers are there.
Binky blew me for 20$ a song, so should you.
Strippers are all raking in huge piles of money every night, without expending any effort at all.
Stripper delusions:
Every customer should tip every girl onstage, no matter how bad she looks or how little she is trying.
Since so many customers are asskissers, men are inferior and should all kiss my ass.
Any man who has the slightest problem with grinding on dick lapdances is an insecure, possessive asshole, and should be immediately dumped.
Because a lot of guys in the club are trying to fuck me, all men everywhere really want to fuck me.
Male staff delusions:
Because I have been unprofessional and slept with a lot of the dancers, I am a real stud (some of these guys are butt ugly too!).
Because a lot of dancers are unreliable, they should all be treated like circus animals, and kept firmly in line at all times with draconian rules.
So what if I got drunk and played video games all night, and spent most of my time trying to fuck them, I still deserve to be tipped royally by every girl whether they made money or not.
I am the one really running this club, no one else knows what they are doing at all (I have seen this from bouncers, DJs, and [even grossly incompetent] managers alike).
Of course, the alcohol does not help, nor the incessant back and forth flattery which is all part of the game running in the clubs.
When I first started, the delusional customers were the most obvious. After a while I started noticing a lot of the dancers also suffered from the same problem, though of course the manifestation is a lot different! About the same time, I started noticing the guys working the clubs having the same problems.
Some of the delusions are not as indefensible as others. For instance, the advertising the clubs employ, and the hustle a lot of the girls use, would tend to encourage the horny dancers myth. It's hard to blame a girl for getting a bit of a swelled head when she gets her ass kissed all night long by hundreds of men, every night she works. And so many dancers will take advantage of the slightest laxity in rules, a lot of clubs have no choice but to run a strict club. And so forth. I think people are prone to self-delusion, to some extent.
It really is a strange environment at times.
