VIP area was always a bad idea. VIP area means fewer strippers and women in the main party/stage area, which is bad planning. The older parties were awesome because there was ONLY ONE area where all the stripper and women would be for 99% of the time. Yes, 1% of the time, we saw 1% of the girls being taken to some corner or entrance of the main area (usually Eric) but the older parties were great despite this. The focus was always on the main party/stage, because that's what the party is about. And no girl would agree with Eric to go in the corner or the entrance hallway if Eric himself was not fun. Eric was a gentleman, he use to smile, he used to kiss their forehead, he treated girls as human being and not as flesh and bone. He was graceful even when he was rejected, he would leave with a kind smile. Girls like this. This shows to girls that he is not an asshole but a kind human being.
In this post #MeToo era, strippers have to be cool and funny and friendly and nice and kind, the way Mr. Neo was, the way Ales was, the way big eared guy was, the way Eric was. They all were genuinely likeable and funny and kind and nice and cool to the girls. They would even take a NO very well, and leave with a smile or a kiss on hand or forehead. The girls like this kind of personality.
The girls, other girls, not the one who said NO, but others who were watching this kindness and coolness and gentleman-ness of strippers, develops interest in them over time, that's why old parties were great. Old strippers gave the girls all the time in the world to be aroused. But current strippers are going straight for the body without developing any mental or emotional connection. Like assholes! This turns them off!
