This is a phenomena that I absolutely HATE!. I have a certain "look" and there is a faction (not just at this place but everywhere I might be) that feel they have "dibs" on me, due to that look. If I do not cave in to their mindset and go along with their pre-planned agenda, then the "badmouth" begins to all the other potential girls I might actually be attracted to, in order to "cockblock"/avoid me. This is despite how well dressed or mannered I might be. I have learned this through actual experience...and am sick of it!.
Let me be brutal here, in my experienced view, it is all about who they feel have the "right" to get the ca$h out of (you) me, as if they have a constitutional "right" to your hard earned $ is based on class/race/look, etc. Well, the constitution has outlawed slavery, and I am NOT your dammed property or your ATM just due to an accident of birth. Those days are over, Baby...
I have previously taken the polite approach, trying to be friendly to everyone to avoid the "word of mouth/cockblock" syndrome. This has rarely worked in the real world, however. I have never been to Divas, but the opportunity will present itself this month. I have decided to change strategy for this next adventure...
"No more Mr. Nice Guy"
This does not mean that I will be rude, it is not my nature as a cultured gentleman. However, I will be forthright. I have decided it is better to leave alone than to be a victim to all the internal dramas and tracking that factions are participating in. Screw that. I know what I like and what I want, and again to continue the brutal theme, from what I've been seeing, not a lot of my type will be in the house to begin with, so if I get rejected by the type I prefer, it will be no big, at least I tried to go for it, no regrets. If the girl is not my type and I say "no deal", it is nothing personal, I simply refuse to be manipulated any more, and will say so, instead of being a kissass simply because I have a balsa woody in my trousers. If I have to leave with it, so be it...
I am a realist, and have accepted the fact that for many, the only hard thing in your trousers they are interested in is: Your wallet...
I will report the outcome of this new approach if anyone is interested to hear about it.

I am not making any negative reference to the actual place or ownership.
I have been there twice and both times I feel like I was "processed"; like someone was "assigned" to me. Just a note to be a little cautious.
