If 5 is too much, go see a real provider, and pass on the stripper.

And the answer is......

It's because she thinks you are a schmuck.
Whether she "knows" the "escort marketplace" or not doesn't matter. She just thinks you're the typical horny lame-brained easy mark who thinks with his junk. (don't take offense...we're most all the same way)

If you're here...you know the "escort marketplace", advice for newbs, and all else. (or at least you should)

Why are you even messing with stripper / escort wannabes anyway?
Just find a good reliable pro...take that strip club money you're tossing away...and have some fun.
Unless, of course, you're just too into the whole 'taking a stripper home fantasy' thing and normal escort relations don't do it for you.....if so....then visit the Erotic Highway board.

Just sayin'

Most "strippers" have an over inflated sense of the value of their pucci... Afterall, they are confronted by guys everyday trying to get it from them, they are successful in getting 2 or 3 xxx bucks in your example just to tease you in vip... So I'm sure in her mind, she's giving you a bargain....

I used to hang out everyday in those clubs, spends tons of money.. enough to buy a summer house on the beach... banged hundreds of them in and out of the clubs every day for years... believe me, even the fantasy is over rated and it took me way too long to figure it out.

and the fact she wants to charge 500 dollars makes her insane. You can save that money and spend half that amount and get a sure thing with a reliable gfe INSTEAD of hoping the sex will be good.

Ever since I started the hobby bidness, I never look back at Strip clubs.

1) Sometimes, I can't schedule an appointment with a provider, and I'm not a fan of TOFTT.   So in that situation, a grope and grind for a few bucks beats a wasted session with an unproven provider.

2) For me, one of the hottest things is the chase.  I'm married, so I'm not going to bars to pick up women.  But going to a strip club, and seeing which one is naughty and which is nice is fun.   For me, a really hot turn on is sneaking a finger inside her panties and discovering how wet she is--even if I'm not going to DATY or fuck her.

3) I have had some luck getting reasonably priced take-out from strip clubs.   I'm just not spending Five for it.

The last time I met a stripper outside a club she wanted $400.  However, the time spent together was basically as long we were both having fun.  Our typical date is an hour or so in my room, go out for dinner and drinks, and then come back to the room for a few hours.  

I would say figure out a subtle way about what that $500 may get.  It could end up being a bargain. If it is just a quick session for $500, you a correct about it being too much.
