There's like two main types of stories posted in here. Pure poo poo that didn't happen, where someone is clearly bragging and straight up making poo poo up, and then stuff that's actually believable but the author has no idea it actually paints them as a huge loser and/or it is something so stupidly mundane and uninteresting you wonder why anyone would think to share it, let alone brag about it.

My Single Favorite Nightclub Story: Fiancee and the Rich Arab.

As I've discussed before, I do a variety of...things for a couple high end night clubs. As such, I see poo poo that would make the average man, even the ones here, skin crawl. The things women are willing to do, the desperation, it's absolutely disturbing.

This is one of those stories.

So a couple months ago our Staff had Been informed that we would be hosting an Arabian prince and his traveling party---these guys have a group of like 15 People who exist to travel with them and keep their loving mouths shut.

So we spend the entire night on top of our game looking for things that could ruin this whale's good time. These guys spend lavishly but are notoriously fickle about their environment. Throughout the night I notice this very cute blonde dancing with her obvious military boyfriend. His posture, stance, and general demeanor gave him away. They're smiling, laughing, dancing, and generally being the center of attention with how happy they are. Also, her sister looked jealous as poo poo so that was funny.

Then outta loving nowhere, he proposes to her. In the middle of the club. She is now the center of attention. People cheering her on. People buying them drinks. Women notice this handsome soldier and scoot near him when his now fiancee isn't looking. All around funny scene.

Call on the radio. Prince is here. Party of 10 guys. No girls. This means they're going to want girls. Activate protocol: Call the bIG guns. See, high end night clubs have a guy in staff. He's a specific guy whose name nobody knows but whose face is very familiar. He magically shows up with 5 of the hottest women in Earth right around the time rich clients show up. He's running late. We have to stall.

So this prince sits down and before I can start playing the game, he looks at me, hands me cash and points at blonde fiancée. One of my jobs is to never say no to people like this so I of course go ask.

I assume this girl is going to tell me gently caress off and this prince is going to stop giving me cash. I'm pissed. I mean I've seen women do filthy poo poo but this girl had just been proposed to and the guy is here. No way she goes with me...right?

Wrong. She sees where I'm coming from and the second I come up to her she says in a gleeful tone "They chose me didn't they!". I informed her about the rules, that she could have whatever she wanted but she'd have to work for it. I was very blunt. I was trying to scare her away.

She couldn't have been more enthused and for good reason, within seconds these guys had been delivered hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of booze and party favors. It was some Caligula poo poo and she was at the epicenter. Anything she ordered they paid for. She danced and took off clothes and rubbed cocks, the kind of girl guys like me make alot of money from.

Only I couldn't enjoy it because her fiancee is standing there screaming for her to come back. He's going from pissed to devastated to crushed. Even worse the prince demands me to remove him or his staff will. So I have to loving toss this god drat hero out of the area. I got the bartender to cover his tab but it still felt awful. Her sister is yelling, screaming things to the military guy like "I told you she's always been like this, you're too good for her. Let's just leave her."

Just then...The Man shows up with I poo poo you not, 10 of the most retardedly attractive women I've ever seen. Nothing below 9. In a club full of babes these women made the rest invisible.

Want to know what the prince told me right in front of old blonde fiancee: Get this trash outta here.

The look on her face when she realized she'd been used, that she was simply entertainment until the real girls arrived, that she was the equivalent to a zoo animal rich men tossing money to see what she would do for it, that she had left the only man in the club who actually gave a gently caress about her for ten minutes of hypergamy, it was absolutely hilarious if I didn't feel so bad for military guy.

I knew what would happen. I knew she would go running back to him and kiss the ring and play the sympathy card. I couldn't let it happen. So I had security kick her out. They didn't even ask me why. They saw her. They knew what I was doing.

I go find military guy, inform him and sister girl that all their drinks are paid for and they can have any open table. I introduce him to every club skank I have on staff, but it's clear him and sister girl are perfectly happy with each other. They're ignoring his fiancees calls and grinding on each other like nothing had ever happened.

I don't know what became of them but I hope he took the ring bsck thst night.

As always, female hypergamy knows no bounds. It is a biological imperative. This is a brave new world we live in, hypergamy unleashed.

The more ya know.

Along the way, as I recall, he demonstrated a baffling misunderstanding of how corporate sales, credit cards, prostitutes, steak houses, and life in general work.

I asked where he wanted to eat, and to my shock, he responded with, “Take me to the best steak house here in the city of Houston.” Now, I’m no cultural expert by any means, but even I knew this was outlandish. I waited for the punch line of the joke, but he was 100% serious. Apparently he loves his steak, and can only eat it when he is here by himself in the states for obvious reasons.

I love this bit. IIRC, when people called him out on it, he made up some stuff about how he really meant pork, not beef, and maybe the guy was Hindu and SHUT UP IT HAPPENED.

The worst part is that he asked for the best steakhouse.. in Houston. Houston has a ton of incredible, incredibly expensive steakhouses, and Ruth's Chris is basically a step or so above Outback on the restaurant hierarchy. All he had to do was google 'steakhouses in Houston' and pick the one with the most dollar signs, but he couldn't even be bothered to do that. Like, if he was in BFE, or a city that wasn't in Texas, I'd almost forgive him, but c'mon man.

On the retarded Bioshock underwater libertarian dream steak fantasy, it's pretty easy for steak to not be halal. Just has to be on the rare side--consuming blood is forbidden. But that's so obviously not what the OP meant.

Blood *is* forbidden, but pretty much all of the blood gets removed when cattle is slaughtered and processed (regardless of it being slaughtered according to Islamic law or not). That red juice is just myoglobin being leeched out by the water left in the meat. Muslims can enjoy a rare steak as much as anyone else (I prefer it medium rare, though).

But yeah, the OP there was just completely clueless all around.

I like how hypergamy is hard-coded into Women These Days, yet the good sister is loyal to the fiancé and isn't even tempted to try and seduce the prince. It's "all (Western) women are hedonistic gold diggers, except when they're not."
