When in a club i think every normal guy should expect to get the hard treatment if not paying. I myself rather pay pay songs right away and tell her to stop when money has been used... Now that being said not every stripper is honest just as some escorts are not (and clients too). Im pretty much done with strip clubs personally but the thing i would had hate is the girl keep going even if my money is over. I do try to count the dances in my head but sometimes when she do her job right (lol) and you don't know those pop/dance/crappy strip club songs then its harder... I am a metalhead... i never heard those songs outside strip clubs duh... lol.
Thanksfully in my SC "career" i was lucky to get honest girls. I think it showed i was a nice guy willing to have a good time and paying them right. Im always genuine and so far its been something that help me and not play against me. But im smart too, i would always pay for 2 dances first usually, then if she was good another 2 pulling out my wallet, it would be hard to fool me anyway... They key with stripper is saying ill pay in advance !! That way she is sure she get money and you are sure you don't go over your budget. Only a scammer would refuse such arrengement.
As for a money thing with escorts, i don't have problem with showing it, if the escorts count it in front of me its a bit turn off to a degree but i can live with that if its our first time together (never dealt with her, a friend of her, or the agency) but the money MUST stay in a place where i have just as acces to it as her. No putting it in your purse cause from there it would be impossible for me to get it back.
I know its kinda futile saying so cause i almost never deal with backpage, and i trust the agencies i used, and in counterpart my reputation on merb does help me (agencies knows i won't pull a fuck and and run) but im just saying with an unknown BP girl, NEVER would i let her bank up the cash before the meeting happen. Oh no !! If im dealing with Jasmine, Sam, James(not forgetting you budy) or the many Mikes, thats a different story obviously)
