    Default "I'm just a poor French guy"

    I wanted to share a story about a guy I danced for last night. He was from Paris, and had a great thick French accent We talked mostly in French with one another, and his attitude was so refreshing, I wish more customers could be like him. After hanging out for a few minutes, he asked how much the dances were. I first mentioned the private room ($60) and then the couch ($25). He said to come back in a few minutes, so I came back in 5 minutes and he got a couch. He told me straight up that he was not a rich man, and that he was a poor Parisian (which is pretty typical with the price of living there), and that he was only going to get one dance. Afterwards, I asked if he wanted to continue of course, but he reminded me that he was just a poor Parisian. It was simple, nice, and didn't waste any of my time.

    I guess I just hate it when I get led on by customers who are too embarassed or are too big of douchebags to admit that they don't have very much money. They all want to pretend to the ballers when they can only afford one couch. Is this an American thing, where people are ashamed to admit they can't afford something? I always found that Americans are way more secretive about money than Europeans (e.g. the way you pay a bill with cash in an American restaurant vs. a European one).

    Anyway, I just wish all the customers would be upfront and not waste my time if they don't have very much money. It's so much pleasanter for everyone.

    Lolagetz, you're so cute. My best friend speaks fluent French and loves when she has the opportunity to speak it in the states. It is such a beautiful language. I know you speak German, too...so how many languages can you speak? For some reason, I vaguely (sp?) remember you saying you spoke Spanish, too...

    Hahaha, I danced for a French guy a few years ago like that, but he wasn't poor. However, he was very upfront and honest about only buying a couple of dances. He was so hot I made out with him in the LD area. I almost got my ass kicked by another dancer too! We kept in touch by email for a long time. Awwww, memories......

    In my travels I learned Americans have a lot of hangups about a lot of things. It's not uncommon here to discuss who's paying the bill on the next date before you go. 'Just to clear things up'.. better than showing up with no money and being surprised!

    I hate to list them off, because I feel like I'm bragging or something.. Anyway, fluent in Spanish, German, French. Did Japanese for 3 years so I'm competent in that, but not fluent..

    Totally. When I was in Germany, my German friend commented on how weird it is that we're so secretive about money. He didn't understand why it would be rude to ask how much someone makes, and he said he thought our bill-paying system at restaurants was weird (the leather folding things), lol, he said he didn't "get the secret money container thing." Kind of miss it now, when all the people here want to make everyone think they're rakin' in the dough when they're really living paycheck to paycheck

    He was actually a young guy.. No older than 30. My club's inland from LA, about 60 miles.

    Still a crazy coincidence!
