A stripper gave me her number. Think it's legit?

Maybe 3 times a year, I’ll go to a strip club. So I am by no means, a stripper expert. A Stripperologist?

Anyway, when I go, I spend big. This past weekend I spent some time with a lovely lady in a private room and afterwards, she texted me her number. We had talked about how I like to play poker and have always thought it would be great to hire someone as a stripper/dealer for my games.

So I got this number, texted it once and said thanks for a great evening and got a nice response. But for some reason, I picture this number belonging to the bar or owner and it just being a ploy to make patrons think they are getting something extra.

Any thoughts on this being the real deal or just a ‘dummy number’? I would certainly like to connect with this person and private pay for her services. Would be a lot better than actually going to the clubs.

From what I gather, a photo of herlabiawill confirm she is legit. As for a text.

It’s not uncommon for strippers to give their numbers to good customers so that they can let them know when they are or aren’t working. Just good business sense, really.

eta: a freind of mine is a bartender at a strip club - just wanted to clear up why I might know something like that

Lol. Give it a call and figure it out. How the hell is anyone here supposed to know?

Well, like I said, I’m not a Stripperologist. Maybe clubs don’t allow it, maybe it’s a common ploy, or maybe it’s the real deal and srtippers do this to generate more business.

Not gonna stick my neck out there if it’s a 99.5% chance Barney Fife answers the phone.

Sure…call her up…maybe drop by.
But be sure to bring that $200 you “owe” her!

You talked about side job opportunities… the number is real, her work number. I would assume if you hire her, it would be just like any other stripper/dealer for hire job.

IIRC, strippers are generally contractors who pay the bar owner for the right to work their shift, they are not employees of the bar, so there would be no reason for the bar to be texting you under her name.

As in “here is my number so you can hire me as a stripper/dealer for your poker games?”

Or do you fancy that you are so good looking and charming that she had such a good time grinding on your lap for 30 minutes that she wants to see you socially ?
Don’t get me wrong. It does happen. I have a couple of friends who married strippers. But it usually doesn’t go down like “thanks for the lap dance…we should go out sometime.”

Sounds like she is a girl who is indeed interested in working a side job as a poker dealer/stripper for you, just like you proposed to her, and why you gave her your number in the first place.

You’re not doing anything illegal, unless you secretly want to proposition her for paid sex. I think a phone call is harmless. Did you tell her you were looking to hire for private events? She could just be obliging if you did.

Strippers are people too. People have dated strippers they met at the club. A stripper took my friend’s phone and added herself on FB and instagram once. I think you’re overthinking yourself into a slight paranoia right now.

The term is “ecdysiologist”. IIRC, it was coined by a member of the Vicious Circle of the Algonquin Table. My daughter would be telling me that nobody really cares right about now…

Pure business. I’d much rather have the stripper come to me, then me go to them. I was under the impression from a friend that clubs would strictly forbid a ‘side-business’ for a stripper. But yes, if they are individual contractors so to speak, then getting a phone number makes some sense.

Where is Simple Linctus when we need him?

And yes, I have gotten myself into a slight state of paranoia. But the responses here are helpful. I’ll give her a call and hopefully some old dude doesn’t answer.

If some old dude answers, you could try “sorry, wrong number,” and hang up

Dude, do you seriously think she’s into you? Like, into you, into you? Damn, her Stripper Magic is strong.

Look, she’s a contractor. You said you might need a contractor with her skill set for a job not unlike the ones she does. She gave you her number for the job, not because she wants to touch your dick for free. If you call and a man answers, you better have a business option for the woman. If a woman answers, you better have a business option for the woman. Don’t call and bother this woman because you want her to touch your dick for free. C’mon, man.

I have read this thread over three separate times, and I am certain he has said nothing to suggest that he’s thinking like you suggest he is.

Then why on earth would he be afraid to call her? If I am somewhere and see a painter painting, tell him I might need a painter in the future, and he gives me his business card, I’m not exactly going to hesitate to contact the painter. Even if his wife might answer. Because I’m calling about business, not anything salacious.

Even though stripping is inherently sexual, it’s perfectly legal. He’s trying to hire a contractor and I can’t imagine why he’d have even an inkling of concern about calling to arrange that. So what if her boyfriend or dad or club owner answers? He’s calling about business. Clearly, something else is going on.

Correct. Strictly business. I’m sure she has no interest in me except my money.

Then what’s the problem? Who cares if God himself answer the phone, so long as he’s the one who can handle her business bookings?
