Sooo, let me get this straight: even other Wookiees didn't recognize you as being a girl-Wookiee???
That's just wrong... sure, it takes some practice to hold them apart, but females do look different if you look closely (no, NOT THAT CLOSELY!!)

Back when Paks actually had entertainer skills, before I had to create secondary characters to get my fix, customers used to leave the cantina screaming at my rendition of Rhythmic. My favorites were along the lines of "Wookiees dancing are just WRONG man!" (This was back near launch when there weren't many of us) I've loved rhythmic (aka flail dancing) ever since. *sniff

Even worse are the players that expect this. I've seen several occasions when some dweeb comes in and harrases the ladies with lude remarks and demands. There are the ones who ask for "private dances" or worse.
I will admit that I like the eye candy and I have several dancer friends that I joke with. The difference though is obvious and seeing some guy demanding they "get nekked" or making extremely insulting slurs about women just gets me reporting them in a New York instant. I've been known to get in the dorks face but unfortunately in the game there isn't a lot you can really do.

He /dance ed me. Now I don't like being grabbed, but since the guy was new I thaught "He possibly doesn't know what the command does." So I asked.
The guy Laughed at me (no not /laugh it was /lol), two friends of him arrived stood in a circle and laughed at me, too. Complete flabbergasted and my social abilities down to that of an amoeba, I decided to solve the problem with fencer instead of dancer. I stopped dancing, switched to the combat bar, equipped my best gaderiff (since none of them was wearing armor), arra-whatever to make up for my low action and dueled one.
But they were already running off.
None of them said an articulated word.
I saw this happen in a cantina once (this was me in my guise of a 14 year old twi'lek on Wanderhome). Except the girls dancing had no combat skills. A wookiee who was also watching managed to tempt/shame them into a duel however. Since the Wookiee was wearing his TKM tag we all ran out to watch. He quickly KD/Dizzied them both and as they lay on the ground and h beat the living hell out of them he repeated hi three simple lessons to be learned.
Lesson 1: Always treat ladies with respect.
Lesson 2: Never duel a TKM even if it IS two against one.
Lesson 3: Always treat ladies with respect.
Back to the original point of the thread, I think the slurs those two loosers were making are my favorite because they allow me to remember how badly they got whipped and what a hero the wookiee was.
In all the dancer's bios after that I saw - Wookiee hero: Ecaj. I adopted the practice for my bios as well. I think I told this story here once before but it bears repeating, if only because it shines as one of my best moments in game.
Slurs may be nasty but sometimes they open up the way for others to show their true, amazing colors. (Okay so I got hit with a bit of a crush too. 
)

I realize the ladies always have these sexual harassment stories, which I never really have as a male. However, the closest male equivalent has tobe the homophobia.
I was giving a buff (dancing) the other night. I was wearing my "exotic male dancer" outfit, which includes black hawtpants, black gloves, and black boots. I happened to be giving a buff to a guy. His friend walks in and says, "dude you're getting a buff from a guy in a thong." I said, "it's hotpants, not a thong. If it was a thong, there'd be a string going up my butt." To which he replies, "I bet you like things going up your butt."
GAH!
(Ok, yes, I admit, that made me laugh *despite* the inherent homophobia which I usally rip people apart for)

LOLnice story, Drygo. It'sfunny, in a sick sort of way,how many guys out there are homophobes and automatically assume that a male Entertainer must be homosexual.
My old reply used to be: Hey, I spend my time in a cantina surrounded by beautiful women all day. You spend your time beating animals to a bloody pulp. Which of us is the strange one?
Lately I've been leaning toward the Gypsy standard™method and just hitting on the poor guys.

The typical male reaction to hawtpants can be a powerful weapon too .
This evening I had a hot male toon grouped with two pretty good looking ladies (who happened to be being played by one actual person), and they both exchanged kisses with me one after another. A lady across the way told us 'get a room you 2' to which one of the ladies replied 'actually, it's 3', and then I said 'and it could be 4' followed by a wink. She kind of laughed at it, but turns out her man was in the cantina as well, so he started moving toward me menacingly and said "oh boy, I hope you're wearing a cup".
So, I flip from my skirt to my bright purple hawtpants, just as he's about to reach dueling range, and he quickly turns away, covers his eyes, and cowers in the corner.
Incidentally, he also referred to it as a thong.. kind of weird.
Anyways, beware the power of the HAWTPANTS.

I play in Theed on Corbantis and I stay out of the big groups so I can play my songs instead of SW1. I'm always inviting dancers to join and since I do play music it isn't hard to get several of them grouped with me. I simply laugh at the guys who react this way, I'm chatting, flirting, watching, and laughing with 3 to 4 ladies while they stand outside the circle being crass jerks. Who has more fun then

Yeah that's a shame isn't it Elwyn a bunch of beautiful women and then us in the group This is Ytoavee by the way../wave. Just remember not to play ceremonial and I won't make you watch me dance in front of you in my hotpants until you change the song to one I can play
This is Ytoavee by the way../wave. Just remember not to play ceremonial and I won't make you watch me dance in front of you in my hotpants until you change the song to one I can playI don't get alot of slurs but I find this happens alot.....guy comes in and starts watching me (see the healing xp start)....guy proceeds to turn his back and run as far away as he can and then sits down with his back to me....all the while I see the healing xp going. Just makes me laugh whenever that happens
I will say this though...I took about a 6 month break and back when I stopped I would have about 10% of the male patrons tip me after I'd buff them. Since I've come back I've been having alot of guys asking me to buff them and the tips for the most part have been very good. Haven't been back long but gotten a few 10k tips which would've given me a coronary before to get.
I got to the point before as a Master Dancer where I put together a macro saying something along the lines of:
"I view dancing like football"
"Flourish 1 is me sending my wideout on an up and in"
"Flourish 2 is me setting up my Nickle defense"
"Flourish 3 is me running a keeper"
etc...
Haha the homophobia was just so bad. Big beefy guys in football can run up and hug each other and pat each others rump and it's manly.
I dance with half naked women and I must like men

I can close my eyes, turn my back, or focus on the ladies when you dance. I'm not giving up ceremonial the ladies all love it too much. I recommend you finish that ID tree and get the mando
