Thread: how do you all deal with the nasties?
I don't usually have this problem - I'm never alone when I'm dancing - I either have my ingame husband with me or a guildmate. Of course this is mostly due to the fact that my guild is very active in the GCW and we are generally Overt at all times.
Since I'mone of theladies of the guild I generally always have a body guard or two with me.
If I happen to have a problem with a person I will generally find a customer in the cantina that I have gotten to know quite well to assist me if my repeated replies to please leave me alone don't work .

i am a real girl, and i play one in SWG 
i am a terrible flirt, but as was posted earlier, this gets better tips. aside from that, it is in my nature to be flirtatious. i have it clearly posted in my bio that i am married in game, and i dont allow any kissing/groping/ or "going off somewhere to know each otehr better"
i have gotten a few true psychos, and they get reported and put both on ignore AND on my friends list, so i can keep track of them without having to hear them
My favorite:
/emote combs long luxurious mustache and sideburns.
Gets them grossed out every time.
Three months in the cantina and I can tell you one good way to tell the girls from the boys. The girls never use "u" instead of "you" or "r" instead of "are". A friend of mind (female) logged on once and shot me a tell that said "r u on? u r!! Can u make me 1 thing plz?" then a couple seconds later... "hello?"
I honestly thought she hit her head for a second but it turns out it was her male cousin playing her character. That's not foolproof though as I know some VERY articulate guys on here, words like honey... /droool
/shakeshead to clear the fluff...
I've hung out with guys too much and have started to pick up things from them. I now use the word "sweet" on a regular basis to describe when I'm happy about something. Sometimes you just can't tell.
As for the guys hitting on you, tell them you'd love to follow them to the ends of the earth and back again but you're married (doesn't have to be true) and you are so very much in love with your husband. Usually this gets them to back down but some will persist and exclaim that they are much more manly and love you much more. (of course they say it in their own way... "I lub you moremarry me! I have ringz") Or they'll get their avatar right up in your avatars face and stay there and be lewd and awful for a while. I just ignore them, they are looking for a reaction but I don't give them one, I'll talk to other people who come in to the cantina or to my friends who are dancing with me...
To people who go into cantinas to get attention from the dancers the worst thing you can do to them is pretend they don't exist.
I play a female avatar as my dancer, simply because I prefer the models when dancing. Face it, the male models just look wrong...
I've had a few problems with people emoting at me and making lewd comments, including one who wouldn't leave me alone and kept sending me fairly explicit tells. At first I started by saying, "would you say that/stand so close in real life?" which he duly ignored and continued the pestering. Eventually I told him I wasn't interested in men in that way and that whilst I was happy to talk to him, that he shouldn't get any ideas. And of course, this had zero effect...
Does SWG support same-sex Unity? Maybe I should find a like-minded female dancer to marry... Although seeing as the average age seems to be around 13-years old, they'd probably consider that an invitation...
I have a note in my biography about being a dancer, not a sex-slave and that touching if off-limits. Of course, it doesn't make any difference...
Oh, and for the record, whilst I may wear some of the smaller outfits in game (such as sports bustiers and fleshwraps), I don't flirt with anybody. I limit my emotes to welcomes, waves and smiles.
Wow, the stories you all tell amazing what some of these "kids" (weather adult or adolescent) do is horrendus. As a TKA, getting very close to master, I finally spent some time trying to find Master Dancers on Corbantis (Mind Buff wins all) So I hung out in the Zombie filled Theed Cantina for about 2 hours watching people come and go at record pace (Sit for 5 minutes out the door since the AFK group was 20 people big) finally I asked/yelled for a master dancer to bufff my mind, of course saying I pay well (which I do 10k typically). Well one evening last week (leap day as I recall) I ran into some non zombie ladies, a group of 3 (2 RL friends and 1 of their constant IG dancer friends) I made polite conversation, and tipped them well as I'm want to do with 4 million credits constantly burning a hole in my pocket and more coming in every day.
So time has gone by, a whole week, and having friends to hang out with, other than my guildmates is nice, and I have enjoyed every minute of it. However friday (3/5) night while hanging out in Bestine (their usual home and little to no AFK action) Anyways there were several times during the night were I was "less than amused" by some of the antics of some of these "kids". I did stand up when they wouldn't take the "hints" given by my new friends. Many times when I was able to play "Bouncer" they did back off or leave. Several however didn't, so having all my foods and PB ready I was able to amped up and with the help from a "friend" We took care of the kids.
So my suggestion as well, is get your selves a "bouncer" who is able to stand up against most if not all combat classes. BTW I always asked my new friends if they would like me to intervene. Nothing like making enemies for your friends without their permission. So sunday comes and it was the same good time. hanging out in the Bestine cantina with my new friends (finding more all the time here too) I appreciate the struggles and the problems you all face. finally a quick thanks to "Thistona" "Jewela" and "Selestia" 3 super sweet ladies on the Corbantis server this last week has been some of the most fun I have had in Months in SWG.
Not an Entertainer, but a huge fan of them.

My preferred method of dealing with this kind of stuff is to talk to some of my friends. I'm currently all locked up skill points wise as a Master Dancer/Master Tailor. I, however, do have many friends who are much more combat ready than I. Not to mention, I have decent enough credits. If someone bothers me these days, I'll quickly dispatch some tells to some friends and mention to some BH that I know that I have a sizeable reward if they can DB some punk for me.
As I state in my bio, there is no rule in this game that says I have to be friends with everyone. I'm tired of being nice just to have some obnoxious immature brat try and take advantage of my nice attitude.
