Top 10 Reasons Not to Date a Promoter

Now let me begin by saying, I am well aware there is always “the exception” to the rule, including this one. I just wish I found him. For this post I will be discussing, “Top 10 Reasons Not to Date a Club Promoter.” Scratch that. “Top 10 Reasons Not to Date a Promoter for love.” Now I was optimistic. I admit. Well, now I am coming to inform you, I should have listened to the realists.

1.                    I can guarantee that a promoter has approached you and asked you to take down their number. Ladies, when you enter that number, be sure to add “Don’t get excited when he texts you, he just text blasted 100 other women the same thing.”

2.                    This is crucial. The promoter who sent you that “personal invite” to the club is not asking you on a date. Don’t bother calling your girlfriends with excitement. You probably wont have much of a story to tell since he will disappear the entire night “personally inviting” 10 other girls to the next event.

3.                    You can guarantee the promoter will be holding 2 cell phones, one of which is bound to be a Blackberry which he can’t seemingly look away from. Now you are questioning why you bothered wearing your best dress and your 5" heels. That Blackberry should be thrown out the window.

4.                    Expect for him to have your number in his cell phone. Along with 500 other contacts with specified Called IDs such as “Annoying Chick,” or “Girl with Fat Friends,” or “I’d Tap That.” He’s also slept with half of that list.

5.                     Don’t be surprised to see him let go of your hand to talk to a “model like chick,” after all, “it’s business.” Don’t be even more surprised when he does this three more times.

6.                     Sorry ladies if you were expecting a little bump and grind on the dance floor. Your love interest will be to busy giggin’ on top of the VIP booth with three off rhythm chicks. I never quite figured out the relationship promoters have with their booth but I can guarantee it’s stronger than the bond you two have.

7.                     Be prepared to find girls smothering him with poor rhythm dances, the infamous girlfriend lean on, or maximum hug coverage because he simply got them through security. Be even more prepared that these females could look pretty bad ass.

8.                    I am convinced promoters get a God-like-complex where for that one night, they can do no harm. This includes the introduction, the flirt, the number exchange, the dance, and long drawn out good-bye. It was a long good-bye too. So long he forgot to say good-bye to you. But it's business right?

9.                    They become so concerned about their “fill ins” that you are often forgotten. Your glass remains unfilled. Your presence becomes unnoticed. You’ve just become a sideline chick.

10.                Ladies, this is by far the most valuable 1 of the 10. As a woman, we have one very powerful thing that many work hard for. Unfortunately, you are about to learn a harsh lesson in supply and demand. They have a large supply. You now are of low demand.

Lesson: It’s business. It always was. The game doesn’t change. They come to make money. The better the promoter, the more nights they work. So ladies, I beg you, think hard before you decide to date a promoter in the interest of love because I can guarantee you aren’t the only one chasing after him.
