In the book Eleven Minutes (see my other thread as well for more insights from this excellent novel), Maria put clients in three categories; Exterminators, who arrived stinking drunk, pretending not to look at anyone but convinced that everyone was looking at them, dancing only briefly but then getting straight down to the business of going back to the hotel. The Pretty Woman type, who tried to appear gentlemanly, affectionate, as if the world depended on such clients in order to continue turning on its axis, as if they had just been walking down the street and came to the club by chance; they were always very sweet at first but rather uncertain when they got to the hotel, but, because of that they always proved to be more demanding than the Exterminators. And lastly, there was the Godfather type, who treated a woman's body as if it was a piece of merchandise. They were the most genuine; they danced, talked, never gave tips, knew what they were buying and how much it was worth, and never let themselves be taken in by anything the woman of their choice might say. They were the only ones, who, in a very subtle way, knew the meaning of the word "Adventure."
So what type of client are you?
