I've had my 1st gen iPad for almost a year and I love it. I use it as a convenient laptop replacement on brief trips i.e. sameday return flights. Also great on vacations when you want to be able to look things up on the fly but don't want the bulk of a laptop. Also use mine as a an e-Reader, movie player, music player.... ahhh.. it does just about everything. I was also so impressed with the range and quality of apps available on the iPad that I switched from a blackberry to an iPhone. Dorinda, nails might be a problem - you could get a bluetooth keyboard to help with typing, but since it's a touch screen device - you're going to need to touch the screen :) I've tried using a stylus, which may be somewhat like the effect you'd get with long nails, and the iPad did not like it one bit - didn't work well at all.

I see this is a bit of an old thread, but I'm new and wasn't around when this discussion originally occurred and wanted to way in, because I completely agree with the poster - though completely agree with the responses that suggest everyone is different and this isn't a one solution fits all. Style of expression is very important to me. The odd typo is acceptable; who doesn't have the odd typo? For me, intelligence is a huge factor in whether I am interested or not. Sentence structure, spelling and depth of expression are all fairly evident when reading a post and help me identify those suitable for me. Excessive use of abbreviations and 'texting-speak' would have me moving on to someone else immediately. A thoughtful post that conveys intelligence - now that would hook me. Combine that with a cute picture and a bit of subtle seduction; simply irresistible.

Pinks in Aylmer - I think that's what it's called or used to be called - not sure if it's still there. I was underage, drunk and went with a group of buddies. I recall being in complete awe of the dancing Goddesses... and that's a pre-Sheen Goddess reference :)

I saw that and find it hard to believe. The complete lack of privacy and cross-pollination of friends, family, work and prostitutes just doesn't make sense for ANYONE.

I've always thought that they needed a better system. An LCD panel at each table that signals the person you're interested in so they know to approach your table when they are available. You're right though, won't happen. No club will put up money for a better system electronic or increased labour costs for bouncers to do the leg work. How about an iPhone app? hmmmm... maybe I'll do that :) I do get what you're saying about it being a place of work. I always fully expect to pay for a few dances if I accept an invitation for a dancer to sit with me. I also expect to get dances when I go to a strip club. Not one of those guys who nurses one beer for three hours drooling over the stage show, chatting up all the girls and then leaves without taking a dance.

I have found the best approach is to just say politely yet firmly 'I am waiting for someone'. While I initially stuck with a simple 'no thank you' I found many dancers would take that as a challenge and try to change my mind by asking for reasons or offering extras - neither of which would end up changing my mind. I recall one time in Toronto, a dancer sat on my lap (uninvited) looked into my eyes, grabbed my tie and then stood up pulling me out of my chair and said 'You're coming to the champagne room with me'. While I like an assertive woman, I like a little more class and she wasn't my type, so I declined and she became quite aggressive demanding an explanation. Not a great experience. By indicating I am waiting for someone before the dancer sits down, it makes it clear I am not interested and doesn't waste her time. There appears to be a code that dancers are typically respectful of one another's clients. I think this is the most fair and polite approach for the dancer. I don't enjoy rejecting anyone and can appreciate it's a tough gig with lots of rejection. Ultimately, we both have limited resources (money/time) so I don't want to waste her time (or my time) and cost her other opportunities if I have no intention of taking dances.
