I understand a fantasy and a one time thing like tipping on a guys night out at a strip club, but some of these guys think they are in a relationship with someone they will never meet and don’t even know their real name or life details.

    And none of what you said is indicated by people just throwing a couple hundred bucks at a performer they enjoy. We’d need way more info.

      I did not mean to imply that everyone who behaves that way is going to shoot up a sorority down the road. I merely wanted to make the point that what other people believe can have a big impact on me or people I care about.

      So while I’m not saying they can’t spend money how they want legally, it is a concern that further development of incorrect beliefs (that someone cares for you romantically because they flirt for money) could manifest itself in more serious ways.
