over the past year i've learned that my time is indeed valuable and that the services i do, which, amongst dancing includes: listening, making people feel good, comedienne, counselor, intellectual discussion partner, masseuse for the neck and shoulders, should be paid for because they are valuable.
a lot of the dudes i meet don't seem to get this. example:
me: "so you're not going to get a dance. my time has value and yours does too. i appreciate an investment for my time. it was good to spend time with you."
dude: "what, you want me to actually pay you for your time?!!!"
another dude: "i don't like to pay my women."
some other dude: "dude, i don't spend money on strippers."
idiot: "i thought you weren't all about the money like other dancers are!"
what's a good reaction? i usually politely excuse myself, internally angry that these guys just don't get it.
how do the rest of you handle customers' shock at you actually wanting to be paid for your time?
