    Well...I'm not going to answer the poll question just because I hate polls. Anyway I like dumb and ditzy strippers just as much as I like smart intelligent strippers. I can see the best part in every stripper I meet. I take it as I find it. I am a big fan of originality...if you're going to be a dumb stripper then be the best dumb stripper you can be. Or if you are going to be an intelligent stripper then be the best damn smart stripper y0u can b3....you get what I'm saying? Just be the best whatever you are, that's what I find sexy and intriguing in strippers.

    Having said that, I have yet to meet a stripper who can hold a credible conversation discussing superstring theory or the behavior of boson and fermion particles. OTOH, I have found myself bored to death in the SC because my ATF's were out that particular night that I had to resort to 'deriving' (?) Schroedinger's Wave Equation in my head while drunk to keep myself entertained. I highly recommend this exercise after 2/3 of a bottle of vodka. YMMV!

    I've found that my more memorable customers are the intelligent ones. They are a refreshing break from the hustle and grind. Perhaps it's similar the other way around? Are the intelligent strippers more memorable because they are the minority?

    Tonight I got paid almost two hundred dollars to sit, dress on, legs crossed, and give my opinion on the metaethical implications of recent discoveries in neuroscience. I don't think I brought up Hegel, but we did compare Kant and Mill. Sometimes it pays to be the "smart" stripper.

    Ok, to be fair, the gentleman did most of the talking, but I doubt he'd have been so inspired were it not for my major (I just went back for this semester, and was gushing excitedly about Quine and Carnap when I found out the fellow knew analytic philosophy). I'd never deliberately extract money for conversation in this way, insofar as I'd hate to feel I'm cheating someone, but he insisted we just talk instead of dance.

    I have had many intelligent customers, and those who have a background in philosophy are dear to my heart. In fact, anyone who doesn't confuse it with a psychology degree is a winner in my books.

    Hell, intelligent customers are pretty rare where I work--but as I said before, this is Daytona...

    It is pretty frustrating to work with people as dumb as they are around here--the customers as much or more so than the dancers. On some nights saying something special about a dancer is utterly pointless, since neither she nor the customers will understand or care--I hate those nights, lol.

    Fortunately there has been a marked improvement in the club recently, and we are drawing in a better crowd, so this has been less of a problem.

    I had brought this up before in a quick response, but deleted it so I could go into more detail and avoid repeating myself. If you do meet an intelligent member of the opposite sex, and there is an attraction, try playing strip chess. I have done this with a couple of different women, and it's a lot of fun.

    Every pawn you lose, you have to take off something. Lose a bigger piece, and sexual favors come into play, however you want to work it--use your imagination.

    Were you surprised when you met your first highly intelligent stripper? What was the experience?
    I will confess, since I started SCing when I was a clueless and socially inept 18 year-old, and without the guidance of SC Masters like CP and crew, it took me a while to get over the initial shock of just the friendly nakedness...I still remember my first club visit vividly. Intelligence was not high on the priority list. I don't think I was particularly surprised by brainy strippers I met along the way; I just sort of became conscious of their existence slowly as my SCing habits evolved over time and I learned the way of the SC Masters before me. All the geeky girls I've met through SW shouldn't count, though, because I met them first here, and because as we've noted before, SW has a grossly disproportionate number of informed and savvy women, many of whom possess or are in pursuit of any number of higher education credentials.

    I've certainly met dancers who inhabit the far ends of this spectrum in either direction. Do you prefer your strippers brilliant or dim? To be honest, I can see the charm in both extremes...
    No lie, I've had much fun with all kinds of strippers, from girls who couldn't spell their name the same way twice to those that were destined for tenure in the halls of academia. But I seem to have more fun, longer, with girls that have a lot going on above the neckline, particularly as I age.

    Four things in a dancer are appealing in clubs to make me want to return to her - not in any significant order of importance:

    approachability
    attractiveness
    eroticism
    ability to communicate interestingly
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    What's really cool--and it's only happened to me once--is to meet one who is so brilliant that after enough verbal interplay and intellectual bonding has run its course, you can dispense with all the pedantic bullshit...

    I remember one occasion, when in the midst of some very thorough fucking, this magnificent woman and I were busting up laughing, talking to each other like Jerry Springer rednecks. God knows what the neighbors thought of us--but who cares!

    I was wondering where that post went to, lol.

    But my answer is yes, I have played strip chess. It gets quite interesting and encourages longer games without those nasty 6 move checkmates.



    Back to topic though, I had a girl ask me point blank on Monday night a question that I was originally pissed about, but since having time to think about it, I feel sorry for her.

    She asked "How do you even make enough money to pay for gas back and forth to work, much less support your family; since all you ever do is sit at the bar all night?"

    She just couldn't understand that most of the older gentlemen that I sit with at the bar, loved to sit and talk with me, and pay me very well for my company and time. Not to say they don't do dances or don't enjoy them, but we usually have more fun quoting movies, and books. They like the fact that I am a fairly attractive well versed woman. Now don't get me wrong, this sometimes backfires due to my cynical side and my rapist wit.

    But for the most part I am well liked my most men, due to that and I will play golf with them, after I get to know them better. (They always like that, lol.)

    A tremor in the Force. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old master...

    You know, in my original post I did not think back far enough. I guess when I first started, my desire was to pay for the female interaction I wanted and leave no strings attached. Which included talking and sharing company. I never really cared so much for intelligence as I did for interest, genuine or not, since I was paying. There were a few dancers that I met that could hold their own in witty banter with me, but at that stage my interests lied in Kino and Compliments. I just wanted to feel wanted.

    As time progressed and I took hold of my life and annexed the reason why I was paying for affections I wasn't getting at home, it was either adapt my desires or drop the hobby. Thats when I discovered, wit, intelligent discourse, and stimulating conversations were key to my interest and my pocketbook.

    All the geeky girls I've met through SW shouldn't count, though, because I met them first here, and because as we've noted before, SW has a grossly disproportionate number of informed and savvy women, many of whom possess or are in pursuit of any number of higher education credentials.
    I applaud the girls I have met on here that not only raised the bar for what I look for in the club, but what I look for in a potential mate. The biggest thing I discovered was that what I wanted out of a relationship, was not only O.K. but actually wanted by the opposite sex! Who knew?! And I have a rich baritone voice!

    No lie, I've had much fun with all kinds of strippers, from girls who couldn't spell their name the same way twice to those that were destined for tenure in the halls of academia. But I seem to have more fun, longer, with girls that have a lot going on above the neckline, particularly as I age.
    Seriously, my sense of humor will not tolerate a person who can't string together a coherent sentence. If I am nice, I move on. However, normally I try to get, at least, a good story out of it. The best ever was:
    "Hi my name is Mastridonicus"
    "What nationality is that?"

    How can you POLITELY walk away from that?!

    However, if she's smart, she will have my time, my interest, and most importantly, my money.

    However, none of this necessarily matters to HER.

    if i got paid at work for being intelligent, i'd probably make use of it. but since men don't go for that, i don't bother mentioning most of my interests. being paid for witty repartee is one of those loch ness rumors for me. and witty repartee isn't even a measure of intelligence, (cf. congreve, who wrote all about how to fake it just right).

    men like a woman who's not obviously stupid, at the upper levels. but i've yet to see a guy actually be cool with a woman of abnormally high intelligence. above average, yes. past that, no.

    plus, iq is fairly subjective. but i'm just a girl. what on earth do i know about testing metrics.

    my old fav was probly the smartest woman i had ever met, she would probly still be my fav if she worked nearby instead of across town.she is has been in law school for about 3 years & one of the only dancers i have met that you know will make something out of their lives & she should be practicing about the time my current lawyer kicks the bucket.

    hot & stupid is ok if all you want is to bang them, but occasionaly i like to have a conversation where i don't have to explain everthing 3 times before they get it.

    that's a pretty binary distinction to make of dancers, don't you think?

    Its hot to see Miss Intellectual strap on some stillettos and get in touch with her inner slut, even if its just for make believe.

    Okay, I admit I went a little over-the-top with my examples there. I personally know very little about either: philosophy is not one of my major interests (though I can tell you that I tend to agree more with Hobbes and Hume re: human nature than with John Locke, even though I’m a raving far-left liberal; go figure), and I’m no physics phenom (I admit that I cannot derive Schroedinger’s wave equation, though I can offer a credible explanation of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principal, and most of the laws of thermodynamics: the second is my favorite. )

    I won’t elaborate further on my own geekiness, but I think most people got the point, even if the examples were a little exaggerated…

    Yes, but what about the reverse? Have any of you encountered dancers who were clearly attempting to disguise an above-average intelligence? What tipped you off?

    I recall one customer—a cardiologist who worked and taught at an Ivy League University—who said to me, “…one aspect of charisma is intelligence, and you definitely have that.” I started to say, “Really? I try so hard to hide it…” and he simultaneously said, “You hide it pretty well, but it’s there.”

    Exactly. I found that it was the rare customer who appreciated a truly geeky stripper—which made me love the ones who “got it” all the more. They do exist, though; it’s not a myth! Of course, there are a disproportionately high number of them here on this board, just like there are a disproportionately high number of frighteningly bright ecdysiasts here. Wouldn’t it be neat if we could all congregate, through some weird metaphysical transport, in one location? That would be the best club ever!

    Thanks for the responses, everyone!

    Its one thing to offer it up, but...oh wait, my answer is best left combined with a later question.

    I will keep this as short as possible.

    Your definition of geeky is loose. I like that, because as I was going to say, offering up the fact that you're intelligent can sometimes come off <in the club> as overtly flashy. However, when you're clued in to it because natural conversation leads in that direction its all the more of a treat for both individuals. I lead more towards the ethical discussions or philisophical points of view on life. Natural Discovery is key here. My obscure references to anything from recent news, to cartoons and their changes since the mid 80's <wrote MANY papers on this> makes it not only unique to find a dancer willing to keep up, but capable. No lie. A few experiences to boot, all who are capable and willing have become commodities in my life. Especially in times like these. Maybe it's why I draw.

    Sorry to answer this out of order, but It seemed to disrupt the flow of things. I have 2 stories that stick out in my head. One dancer was a cunning linguist but pretended not to take attention to my inquisitive nature of an opinion of a current event. Mid dance in we were discussing things and she finally snapped and said
    'How could such a nice guy say something like that'
    'Cause something told me you had an opinion.'

    Her most revealing feature was her misdirection answers. Went something like this, no lie, this was a few later visits:

    <Her> "I see you looking at me!"
    <Me> "But the question is WHAT do you see"
    <Her> "Someone about to ask me out to dinner so I don't have to hurt anyone"
    <Me> "You like me that much, huh?" <-- Yea, long time ago. mentally. but so was last month :/
    <Her> "No, I'm a stripper, we don't pay for our own food"
    <Me> "Oh so I am a meal ticket"
    <Her> "Don't say "meal ticket", makes me feel like we're going to a cafeteria."

    It goes downhill from there but still witty repartee was where this intelligence was discovered. Actually, it didn't really go downhill, I just kinda stopped talking to her. I was skilled like that. *Sigh*

    #2 played so dumb I thought I was going to die. Then she started describing customers with Neuro-psychological conditions <I was going to go into Neurology> I ignored it, mainly cause I lacked the confidence to address such an intellect that had a matching beauty. <a.k.a. intimidation> Then as time went by and she got to know me, her natural self started showing. It happened slowly and kept showing up more and more. But what tipped me off? Her motivation. She just seems like such a fun girl with a bright future, big plans, and she can maintain a conversation with enough understanding to make good jokes about the content. She'd coup de grace the whole deal by showing me how she learned a new trick. And then ask when I'd be in town next, which would always leave me shaken...not stirred. Thank god for confidence. I wouldn't know a comeon if it hit me a 75 mph mid jump.

    Ok so its not short. But, heh I really liked the question, and it was therapeutic to answer

    Yes, I have met such dancers, but they can rarely fool me. It takes truly enormous intelligence to fake stupidity convincingly, neh?

    I found that it was the rare customer who appreciated a truly geeky stripper—which made me love the ones who “got it” all the more. They do exist, though; it’s not a myth! Of course, there are a disproportionately high number of them here on this board, just like there are a disproportionately high number of frighteningly bright ecdysiasts here.
    More seriously, I completely agree that SW draws a very biased subset of strip club denizens, both employees and customers, and I also think that the group is atypical not only in terms of intelligence but also in other important ways. This does indeed make it a more interesting place to spend one's net hours, but it is useful to also notice that it has a downside. Namely, what you learn about the people here and their views and behavior, etc, may not be all that useful in a real strip club in which such a typical SW-ite is a rare bird. In other words, if you ask some question like "do guys like intelligent dancers" or "do you like natural or enhanced breasts better" or "how do you like guys to decline to buy a dance" or "why do dancers think slapping their own asses is sexy", you may well get answers that are more misleading than helpful.

    Wouldn’t it be neat if we could all congregate, through some weird metaphysical transport, in one location? That would be the best club ever!
    Absent that option, personally I am definitely interested in meeting SW friends when the opportunity arises. I missed mermaidnz in Tokyo and aussiepunkshocker in Melbourne each by less than 24 hours; one of these days I am going to have better luck.

    BTW, there is a huge difference between being intelligent and being educated, a distinction that is sometimes lost. An highly intelligent, uneducated person is more interesting to talk to than a highly educated person of average intelligence, imho.

    I totally agree, dlab...though I find that highly intelligent people are also highly motivated to self-educate...which is one of the things, IMO, that makes them far more interesting than people of average intelligence who have an extensive formal education.

    In fact, sometimes I think that the more intelligent a person is, the more likely they are to reject formal education...Does anyone agree? (I suppose it depends on the type of intelligence they possess, though...Someone who is highly gifted mathematically is probably more likely to be attracted to formal education than someone who possesses extraordinary artistic gifts, no?)

    I don't know if I would agree,
    but in my case, school was not for me.

    My impression is that the reaction of highly intelligent people to formal education depends a lot on their particular psychology and personality. Some find it attractive to rebell and/or reject it and make their own way while others seem to enjoy "gaming the system", finding clever ways to get what they want and avoid what they don't as they work their way towards a degree or whatever. I know extraordinarily smart people who fall into both categories.

    ^Yeah, that sounds about right...

    Family attitudes play a role too, as does access and opportunity...

    See? I'm in waaayyy over my head in most physics discussions.

    I thought I knew something about that silly cat, too, til I tried to understand Murray Gell-Mann's take on it...He says, "The live and dead cat scenarios decohere; there is no interference between them...reams of paper have been wasted on the supposedly weird quantum-mechanical state of the cat, both dead and alive at the same time. No real quasiclassical object can exhibit such behavior because interaction with the rest of the universe will lead to decoherence of the alternative."

    oh-kayyyy...


    I do a little better with Maxwell's demon, I think...

    ah, well. I think some people are SO smart that they actually feel excruciatingly uncomfortable in the world. Some of these people do LOTS and LOTS OF DRUGS (weed, in particular) in order to kill enough brain cells that they can feel even vaguely normal. I've never been in that category. I need all the neurons I can get, thanks!

    And anyway, isn't the amount of dirty nasty raw animal sex you get inversely proportional to your level of education?
