    Default Just what is it that makes one a "PL"

    Throughout many of the threads I've read here, I've seen the phrase "PL" used quite a bit. Yes, I'm familiar with the reference to the term "Pathetic Loser". There is even a post of definitions that extends the meaning of this phrase to being a term of endearment!(?) For me, this tends to blur the definition and best application of this phrase. I've even seen posts from people referring to themselves as PLs.

    My Question is this : What is it exactly that makes one a PL? -OR- Is it about one's behavior/actions in an SC? I don't mean to be the thesaurus police......but If the definition could be narrowed here, it would help to more easily understand posts using this phrase.

    It really depends on the person and my relationship with them when I use the 'PL' term. Sometimes it's a good thing, but others it's a negative term.

    Actually, I think that "any man I don't care for...." is sort of extra words at the end of the sentence. It probably should be "any customer"

    Context is everything, as with the term "bitch."

    yep... it's a girlie thing

    like, I may say to my friend rachel, "bitch, can I borrow that pink sparkly outfit" and it means something different then if I say " that bitch Michelle is always talking about how clean she is, but did you see here back in vip?''

    see, big difference!

    A dancer/stripper is an entertainer who has a life outside of the strip club and comes in purely to earn her living.

    A PL is a person who fails to make the distinction between a dancer at work and a dancer outside of work and believes he can bridge the gap.

    Accordingly, PL's will go to considerable lengths to try and secure a date outside of work with a dancer when (in reality) the dancer has no intention of meeting the PL outside of work.

    In short, a PL has difficulty in distinguishing between fantasy and reality.

    Dude. If you really wanna know, I suggest spending more time here AS AN ACTIVE member, not just some lurker.


    But it is used here in the context of how guys behave in strip clubs.

    Hee, that's OK ExoticEngineer, I got distracted by the hotness of her new avatar too

    Me personally, I use the term "PL" as both a term of derision and endearment, mainly because no matter how hard customers try (myself included), we will at some point exhibit PLish tendencies (buying into SS, being willingly unable to separate fact from fantasy/fiction, etc.).

    PL- A tool that doesn't have a clue and goes around getting thread's locked up. ei. Masscot. Not a term of endearment.

    PL- Person who's behaivour would otherwise get mocked, but has somehow grown on you. ei. Anybody that sound's like a moose when they laugh. term of endearment.

    I think a PL is a guy who believes ss. He is definetly not a player. He thinks the dancer is his GF. Dancers sell a fantasy - this is what they do for work. A guy can go into a SC and have a fun date - drinks, lap dances, and party a lot. Expect to spend $100 and up.
    I date strippers, especially if they love to model for me.

    ...Star Player, aka Derek, a PL can also be a player who cant understand when they are being played by others. Heck, maybe thats their fantasy after all.
