"True GFE"? Isn't that an oxymoron?
I think you guys are really talking past each other, not really understanding where the other is coming from, coming from such different ends of this hobby.
Melbourne had 3 basic points. Admittedly, he framed them in a way that might seem to some braggadocious yet at the same time exploitive or inconsiderate of 3rd world women, However that doesn't complete invalidate those points.
1) The prices that can be had for women/strippers in some other countries make what some guys are willing to pay here seem absolutely absurd by comparison.
2) "Make her work for her money, and tip her well every time, but not until you're satisfied with her 'performance'."
3) "And if she doesn't perform, then don't tip. Hold the money in your hand until you are satisfied." which he re-emphasized - "keep all the money in your hand until you are satisfied."
His first point is absolutely true and you guys who haven't had the opportunity to try such a trip really owe it to yourselves to do so. It will totally change your perspective on the relative merits of what is available locally, as it clearly has changed Melbourne's. That said, what Mike said is also true. Prices may be a lot cheaper in Mexico, but that means little to us as long as we're stuck way over here in Florida and what works well there (or might work) does not necessarily apply so well here either.
I think you guys might have misread Melbourne's other points. He never said NOT to tip well. In fact, he said quite the contrary - "tip her well every time". OTOH, he did qualify that with only TIPPING at the END and only IF you're satisfied with her performance.
The part about paying at the end does still apply here, though it is not as universally available. Usually one pays for erotic services at the end, whether it be for a lap dance or a CL escort (hence the expression "we don't pay for sex, we pay them to leave"). Sometimes, we're not given much choice in the matter, such as with AMP sessions and some escorts and sometimes the subsequent service works out and sometimes it doesn't. But in any case, we don't generally provide any EXTRA TIP until we know how happy we are with the services.
And that brings us to the 2nd part of Melbourne's approach TIP ONLY if you're satisfied with her performance. Notice the word TIP. I don't think Melbourne was talking about the girl's BASE charge, at least I hope not, unless the girl completely failed to provide even what she promised to provide when she agreed to go back with you.
And that is why the theory Melbourne advanced doesn't work so well in the US strip club environment, as Mike pointed out. In Tijuana, one can spell out in advance with the girl everything one expects to get from her. If she goes beyond that, you tip well. If she just meets it, you pay as agreed. If she comes up short, you work out some sort of settlement based on how far short she came up (on your terms but fair). And if she doesn't even make it out of the gate, you spin her around and send her packing with absolutely nothing (which shouldn't happen if you've done your homework at the bar).
The US is very different. Prostitution is illegal, so you're rarely going to get a stripper (or escort) spell out much if anything in advance - only the most vague of promises. You agree to pay a pre-determined amount for lap dances and HOPE that you'll get something more. If you don't then don't TIP like Melbourne recommends (unless you work out some other deal once you get her in theback). I sincerely hope he's not suggesting you don't even pay the lap dance fee as I'm sure one of the scenarios Mike laid out would be the likely and undesirable result.
[QUOTE=Mike Wazowski]The main reason you don't see a lot of inexpensive inside extras in the local clubs is because they all get watched HARD by LEO. ....
So, again, take out in local clubs is possible but expensive. On site extras are rare and, again, expensive. ...[/QUOTE]LEO is ANOTHER reason why you don't see a lot of inexpensive inside extras in the local clubs but I don't know if it is the MAIN one. What Melbourne said is also very true. When these stripper girls can get stacks of dollar bills thrown at them for just shaking their money makers on stage and stacks of twenty dollar bills just for brushing their asses on some horny guy's fully clothed lap out back (with security all around), why would they want to go off somewhere with some stranger and let him stick his dick in them for anything like what he can much more easily get a CL girl to agree to (let alone Tijuana rates).
On-site extras may not be common, but I wouldn't exactly describe them as rare IF you know where to go. And the risk of getting caught by LEO or just by club security may be ONE reason why it costs as much as usually does in the back, but I have to think all the money the girls can make WITHOUT providing any extras (like Melbourne is talking about) has to be ANOTHER very important reason.
And that brings me to my own final and main point of this post. If take-out (or on-site) is so expensive as both Mike and R Consultant admit, is it really so worth it? Melbourne is saying (the way I understand it) "pay for what you get but don't pay for nothing" while the rest of you seem to be saying "spread enough money around the strip joints and maybe some of it will eventually pay off". I think you can guess which view I subscribe to.
[QUOTE=R Consultant]I think if you ride the tip train when you are out in these topless joints it takes you a little further. If I like a girl I will tip her well and ask her when shes working again and leave my business card so she remembers me. Then I will come in again- I dont rush nothing unless you get a good instinct with the girl.
Patience will get you where you want to go. Sure it will cost you a pretty penny but once you are getting an outside menu the payoff is great. Now she knows your a cool dude and you pay well. You will get true GFE as she doesnt want to mess up a good thing.
... My method works for me but you dont always get instant gratification.[/QUOTE]Let me get this straight. "Riding the tip train" sounds like you're suggesting being pretty generous in your tips. And for what? Not for anything you get on that visit, but for the [u]possibility[/u] you [u]might[/u] be able to persuade her to do something more on a future visit. And then you're not even talking about persuading her into anything real the next time you visit, just more heavy tipping and probably expensive dances in the back where you might or might not get even more expensive extra on-site services. And don't think many of these girls don't understand this and know how to hold out the prospect of undefined future delights as a means to get you to continue to lay out more and more dough (and secretly laugh at you for your gullibility and desperation).
Eventually, if you're patient (and your money holds out), you [u]might[/u] get "where you want to go", but there is certainly no guarantee and even then "it will cost you a pretty penny". And what is the [u]possible[/u] payoff? Is she really with you because you're a "cool dude" or is it mainly because you "pay well" (and thus will be expected to continue to pay well for that outside menu). Sure you may get GFE but is it [b]TRUE[/b] GFE (whatever that is)? After all, GFE does stand for Girlfriend FANTASY Experience. Your whole "relationship" was predicated on your financial generosity and because of you that will be what always defines it.
There seem to many much cheaper, easier and more effective ways to go about getting your rocks off, even in just this area.
Strippers follow the $igns
Most of the strippers I've interacted with in this manner want guys who are RICH. I've had pointed conversations with strippers about this and most of them agree, if they meet a guy in the club, they'll date him outside if he's successful and wealthy.
What's a little strange though, is that the guys they CHOOSE that they meet OUTSIDE the club are usually LOSERS who they have to support with their stripper money, which then begins the endless downward spiral.
I'm really interested to read and SEE your results. If I was dating a stripper you can bet your @$$ I'd have hundreds(!) of pictures of us together, not just naked ones, cute ones too.
Please by all means, I'd like to read your success stories and your techniques. (Although I'll probably stick with Escorts)
[QUOTE=Mike Wazowski]R Consultant has it dead-on, here. His method is almost sure-fire if the stripper-type is your interest. And the set up is usually, come see me at the club and buy dances and the outside playtime is on the house... With the occasional need to pay her phone bill or such. LOL![/QUOTE]
Isn't this the Massage parlor reports?
Visited Oxygen for my usual adjustment.
Bebe greeted me at the door. What a looker! small tight body, but her face! Now she is pretty. I didn't even hesitate going for the ride.
All I can say is... even better than Tina.
Tina is on vacation till Wednesday and I have no idea if Bebe is a temp replacement or a new perm employee. Lucy and Nana are still there.

Is this the same Bebe that used to be in Aloha in Pinellas?

The one who had FS good reviews (until some allegations of missing money) and left Aloha about 3 months ago? Just wondering.

Have you tried Penthouse forum?
[QUOTE=Prof Self Help]I find WINDOW-SHOPPING or READING SEXUALLY DESCRIPTIVE POSTS and then jacking off at home to be the most pleasurable.
Spending more than 5-10 dollars on tips in a strip club is utter WASTE OF MONEY. Unless one can jack off at home fantasizing some girl, visit to strip clubs is completely useless.
If I go to strip clubs, it is more for the ENVIRONMENT - later on I can place ( in my fantasy of course) any woman of my liking in that environment and have a fantastic happy ending at home.
Bottom line - SEEING/READING about women in certain environments/situations makes me real horny and makes my masturbation as pleasurable as real sex - without any front-end or back-end costs whatsoever.[/QUOTE]
That plus visiting a really sleezy strip club like 7 Seas or the Library may be your thing. The adult theatre scene is also pretty sleezy from what I read here.
