Funny Things

The funny thing about men in a go-go bar is that they always think that what happens there, stays there. Funny thing about that philosophy is... it's a hot damn lie. Listen, when you walk into a regular bar, sure things might get a little hazy on a drunken night but the chances of it spilling out into the streets beyond your circle of friends and the random people you may hook up with is about fifty/fifty. But when you want into a strip club or go-go bar, honestly, you should really not walk into there thinking you're going to get anything outside of it. Because whilst there are those clubs that cater to men who want the whole nine yards for a $50 bill, I know that those women are thinking about only the dollar, dollar bills ya'll. Seriously, you think this woman who has just spent countless hours dancing on her feet wants to go home with you and fall in love after you've been guffawing at every other woman in the bar? Or that she'd even consider you seriously if you were to go out after you met her at a strip club? Now I'm not saying it doesn't happen but the chances are highly in favor of it not.

Another thing that I find entertaining is the simple-mindedness of many of the guys that come. I mean many know what their "type" is and they will try to stick that as best they can. But when since working at Push I've noticed that what men seem to really want is someone to show them some attention. Remember Tara? I'm not being catty when I say tat although she isn't completely unfortunate looking, she is definitely not the first girl I'd pick out of a group of 20. I've brought my own mother to my job and she said "How does she even make money? She doesn't even dance! And a weh she a go wid dem chakka chakka teet deh?" (The last part she said in 'Jamaican patois' and basically means "where is she going with those messed up teeth?") Now Tara does have one main thing going for her, she is one perseverant little old ho. As she has been dancing for 12 years, and her mother is a "House Mom" (women/men who take care of things for the girls in the dressing rooms), she knows that men crave attention and her main weapon is eye contact. She will stare a man down with a sexy stare and literally stand there on stage mesmerizing him with a meed up smile and grin and make him feel like he is the only one in the world she could ever want. And that is what our customers want. To feel like they are special. To escape. And they will do it to the girls who don't even fit there type. They could have been making fun of her and 10 minutes before with his boys but a little bit of interest will go a long way. A nice, long way to the bank.
