My good friend in Vegas has visited me again, which happens about once every three years, and is always a pleasure.
But it is interesting and sometimes challenging to accompany him around town, especially in the strip clubs, and especially when he gets drunk.
One thing I have noticed about the very wealthy is that they are accustomed to getting their way--one of the perks of untold riches at your disposal, I'm sure. Not only can you buy whatever you want, whenever you want, but the vast majority of people will immediately adopt the ass-kissing mode when confronted with such wealth and power.
I'm not talking about any of you, so don't take offense, please--I'm talking about people who aren't accustomed to dealing with such wealth and power. Most dancers have learned to do so, generally in a fashion to ensure the dispensation of some of that wealth, lol...
Where some guys tend to want to overtly display their wealth and influence, this is not exactly what I am talking about, and is more common to the nouveau riche types, or the kind of people with a base insecurity which constantly motivates them to act like a big shot or a wheeler-dealer.
This is an entirely different phenomenon--they aren't acting or playing--they're just used to getting their way, period. No pretense, no ostentation, just the assumption it's so, and always will be. It's not always offensive, exactly, but it can be puzzling.
This is interesting for me, since I'm not one to follow anyone, and the more I deal with this guy, the more adept I have become at gently guiding him along the path of 'maybe we should stay awhile longer here, Bob seems to be having fun with Delilah', etc.
Except when it comes to women. In this area the guy is triply cursed, since he was quite a player in his youth, and is still quite a drinker as well. So he's used to getting his way due to two factors, one of which is no longer applicable--and the liquor makes it worse and worse as the night goes on, lol...
This means he can be very tricky to take into stripclubs, especially where I know a lot of the dancers. I find myself warning certain ones away immediately, or warning him that he really wouldn't want a dance with Princess, she's not what he's looking for, etc.
Anyone had any similar experiences?
