6 Signs Strippers are Really Interested in You

Posted at December 10, 2009
Stripper persona and real person

Whenever you try to pick up strippers at strip clubs you will always face the same problem: You are initially not talking to the real person, but the stripper persona.

Unlike girls in bars and clubs, strippers are very aware of body language and what kind of interest they show in a guy. Your first mission is to distinguish the fake signs of interest from the real ones. Then, you try to shutdown the stripper persona and get to the real person as soon as possible.

SIDENOTE: There are a lot of cool tricks and techniques to turn off the stripper programming, but you will need to attend one of the Strippers and Hired Guns seminars to find out. We also teach how to get her stop seeing you as a customer and how to break yourself out of the customer frame. I might give some tricks away for free later on this blog. Keep an eye on it.

How do you know when you’re talking to the real person and not the stripper persona? When you are getting real signs of interest from her. Here are 6 signs when a stripper and exotic dancer is really interested in you.

1. She stops asking for dances.

This is the first biggest real sign of attraction you will see. Once you and her have been talking for awhile, you still might not know if she is really attracted to you. However, when she is not asking for dances anymore and/or engaging in the conversation, she has decided to sit with you over making money. At this point it should feel weird for her to ask you for a dance because she is realizing that you are not an ordinary customer but a guy she might be romantically interested in. If you get this far, you’re doing a good job but it’s just a start.

It becomes more evident whenever she gets called on stage to dance and afterwards comes back sitting with you without asking for a tip or dance. That is a HUGE sign that she is attracted to you. If you get this, you’re in! BTW, read my post on where to sit in strip clubs to pickup strippers.

2. She reveals her real name.

It’s no secret that all exotic dancers work under a different name at the strip club. In other words, when you first get their name it’s their “stripper name” not their real name. It’s for security reasons that all the girls work under a stage name, so stalkers cannot look them up. Whenever a stripper tells you her real name, what that really means is that she feels comfortable around you. Not necessarily attracted, but she feels safe enough to open up to you and be her real self.

This is almost my default way-point to find out if the stripper I’m talking to is a little bit comfortable around me. I know that when she tells me her real name that I have almost completely have shut off her stripper programming and I am slowly talking to the real person.

3. She tells you insider information.

Whenever I feel it is really “on” when I’m picking up a stripper, I always end up on the same conversational topic: we start talking about the other girls in the strip club and the management. This is a recurring thread I’ve noticed. So when the stripper you are picking up starts sharing insider info on the other girls that’s a good thing! For example, she might share that some girls do drugs in the dressing room, others have done extras in VIP rooms, and so on. Or on a similar note she might tell you how the management works in the strip club and what special rules they have. Either way, if she tells you anything like the above the pickup is going forward and in the right direction.

4. Dead air is not a deal breaker anymore.

When it comes to picking up strippers you need to be able to run your mouth for long periods of time. In the beginning of the conversation you have very little room for mistakes and dead air is lethal. Any dead silence is just enough time to get the stripper back to her stripper persona and try to squeeze money out of you. However, later on whenever you have a lull in the conversation and she reinitiates the conversation, that’s a good sign. Dead air is not lethal anymore and you can assume that she has some feeling of attraction towards you.

5. She hints at seeing you outside the venue.

To get a strong timebridge and a solid phone number from strippers you need to build a really strong emotional connection. Strippers are the flakiest girls in the world and to avoid flaking you must have super good comfort game to build a strong emotional connection. Plus, you have to seed throughout the interaction that you want to see her again. So from time to time you slip in the conversation that you and her should meet up again and you do this throughout the interaction. Some people call this technique “seeding”; you lay down little hints (”seeds”) when you’re talking to her about meeting up later so it gets imprinted in her mind that she should see you again. When she does the seeding, in other words she mentions about meeting up with you, that means it is on like donkey kong. Calibrate this but generally at that point you want to grab her number, stay a few more minutes and then leave.

6. The digits.

Generally the objective in a stripper pickup is to get the phone number and get her out on a date. If you have done everything well and saw most of the other signs of attraction (see previous points) then you’re almost sure you can get the phone number. Strippers only give out their phone numbers when they are really attracted to a guy. When you do get her phone number give yourself a shoulder pat. You’ve successfully picked up a stripper. Now you need to close the deal, but that’s worth another post.

    Dude, I have tried some of this and had a certain amount of success recently with one girl.  I did not get the digits, but she sat with me the entire night when not dancing and in addition to a great, personel level conversation, she initiated hand holding with me under the table.  Does that by itself mean anything?

      Nope.

        What about if the stripper is cute, great personality, and on every visit to the club she finds you, puts her arms around you and takes you off to talk, as well as spends the whole night with you talking, as well as doing everything she can to hold your hands. I am not sure if she gave me her real name, but she says it is.  She’s “gave” me the “homelife situation” story and from what I gather she sounds just like a country girl.  I asked her what she liked to do for fun.  Get this..She says your going to laugh at me.  I said why??  She said that she “Bow hunts”  and dropped an 11 point a few weeks ago.  Now whether that is true or not is a different matter, but above all of the nudity, wild ass women in the bar, that really got my attention.

    This may sound harsh but, as a stripper,  I can personally confirm that none of your suggestions are valid. There is simply no way to tell if the stripper is any good at her job.
    1) I never ask for dances.  Smart dancers don’t.  It makes us look like nice, genuine people (which some of us actually are). All of other strippers at this club pester you and just want your money, but I honestly enjoy your company and find you attractive.
    2) I also have a fake “real name” because 100% of guys say “yeah, what’s your real name?” If I said “I’m not telling you” I would look like a jerk. If I told everyone who asked, I would be dead. I also have a fake home town, parents, alma mater, day job and hobbies. I assure you that they are more interesting and sexier than my real life.
    3) With few conversation topics available, most people chat about the setting, coworkers and rules.  I also find a common interest with ever guy. Oh my god, you like sex/video games/ crappy music / boring sport too?  I’m obsessed with that very thing!  Go ahead and test me on it! I memorized the Wikipedia article and the last 20 perverts/MW3/Nickelback/Nascar douchbags’ sentiments and opinions! You really want to talk about my interests? They are: my 2 children, fashion, textiles (weaving and history), cute boy in my yoga class.
    4) You’re basing this on your own feelings.  We don’t need dead air to craft sales pitches.  We’ve done this thousands of times before and you can’t come up with a question for which we don’t have a formulated and tested answer.
    5) Nope, that’s our job (the “if you spend enough, I might see you outside of work” act).  You’re paying for the illusion that a beautiful, young, highly sought after lady might like you best out of all of the hotter, richer, nicer guys there.
    6) We all have Cricket, pay as you go work cell phones so we can text customers when we work. That’s part of the industry now.

    Don’t get me wrong. I love customers, and not just their money.  I love getting to know people and feel as if a lot of my customers are really awesome guys who I would hang out with for free.  But I don’t.  I have 2 kids and school and I have no interest in meeting a guy who just likes the way I look.  Because I won’t look like this in 10 years.  And that’s OK because plenty of guys will like me for my brain and personality. They just don’t care about either when I’m naked and giggling at them and grinding on their laps.

    Ok, I got to step 6 before but it never went beyond that.  So far from what I can see I did everything right except for maybe step 5.  I don’t get much seeding going on.  How can I fix this?  I know I’m not getting the dates because I’m screwing up the emotional connections part.
