Making it Rain Research

Everything written by this member is a fact.

There has been quite a bit of discussion the last several months about “Making it Rain”. I have never understood the practice so I decided to conduct some research. While I do witness it occasionally, the practice isn’t very prevalent in the clubs I prefer to frequent. To increase my exposure, I went to a few clubs I wouldn’t ordinarily visit. It still seems moronic and I don’t think I could imagine myself being drawn to participating in this act, but through observation I got a glimpse into the psyche of those who do. Here is a recount of the types of practitioners I witnessed and my read of each. I did see each of these scenarios play out more than once, but I will only recount one such instance.

Another Dancer
A dancer goes up to the stage and makes a bit of a show of dropping singles on her friend’s ass. I never thought much of it, but when I saw a girl I had history with do it I decided to ask her about it. She told me that they have an agreement. One will make it rain with 20 singles. Later that evening, the other will return the favor. The goal is to encourage the custies to follow suit. I never got the urge, but it did seem to get a few people out of their seats to stage tip. This practice actually seemed like a good idea to me, I just don’t know how effective it was. I didn’t check to see the dancer’s tip with the assistance compared to without, but if they keep doing it, it must help.

Throwing it up in the air
A guy walks up to the stage and just tosses a bunch of bills in the air and it all comes down like big confetti on the stage. The guy then turns and walks away, without even acknowledging the girl or anyone else. He gives off the impression that he thinks the entire club scene is beneath him. Last time I saw someone do this, just to be an ass myself, I went over and asked him why he does this. He just told me to fuck off. I did. From now on, I’m going to consider everybody that does this to be a self-absorbed asshole. The next time that dancer was on stage the same guy went up and did it again. This time I went up there too, stood next to him, and threw two dollars up in the air to mix in with his shower of bills. Both he and the dancer gave me nasty looks.

The stage slow drop
This seemed to be the most common. This young guy walked up to the stage, waited for the dancer to approach, and he asked her to bend over. He proceeded to let his stack of bills slowly slide off his hand onto her ass. The money flowed off of her and onto the stage. He then walked away without giving her any notice, just a smug look on his face. He looked around the club as he went back to his seat, seeming to relish in the moment because he thought people considered him a cool high-roller. I just thought he was a douche.

I had to find out what made this guy tick, so I decided to ask him about it. I can get away with this because I’m an older guy and I can act kinda goofy and self-deprecating. Anyway, after he walked past me I called over to him, “Larry?”

He turned around and looked at me with a strange expression. One that evoked a combination of “Do I know you?” and a “What do you want?” He didn’t ask any of those questions though, instead he said “Do you think I’m Larryfisherman?”

After I responded in the affirmative, he told me to fuck off. (I get that a lot) He then said that he took offense because Larryfisherman is nothing but a “self-admiring, story fabricating, club review plagiarizing, lame question asking 15 yr. old douchebag.” I still think it may have been him.

Dealing cards
Another young guy walks up to the stage holding a little stack of ones in one hand and waited for the dancer to come over. When she got down on the stage in front of him he started flicking individual bills at her with his other index finger, almost like he was dealing a deck of cards. After what must have been about $20-$30 he just stood there ogling her for the rest of the song and then walked back to his seat with a smile on his face. To me, this was the least offensive of the “Making it Rain” crowd I saw. He tipped the girl nicely, but I was least offended because he actually looked like he was enjoying the show and was showing his appreciation instead of just trying to look cool.

I actually approached this guy when he went to the bar to get a drink and told him that the “Making it Rain” practice is something that I didn’t understand. I asked him why he did it. He didn’t tell me to fuck off. Yeah!!!! He said he didn’t really know why he did it, kinda got caught up in the party atmosphere. He admitted that he was showing off to his friends and hoped that it would get the dancer’s attention. He seemed harmless. She made her way over to his table about 10 minutes after her set so I guess it worked.

The private slow drop
The one guy I saw do this was the biggest of the douches. He was a bit of a musclehead sitting on a stool at the bar with a beautiful Latina dancing in front of him, bent over with her ass high in the air. He wasn’t even watching her dance, he just kept dropping dollar bills on her ass every couple of seconds as he talked to his friend sitting next to him. This was the most pompous display and actually looked demeaning to the girl that was dancing. The guy really was a jackass. I came up next to him to get to the bar to get myself a drink. He snarled at me that I was taking up his space. I said, “Huh?” He made a sweeping motion with his hand as said, “This is my seat, this is my space, get a drink somewhere else.” I just chuckled and told him to relax, ordered my beer and then went on my way, tipping the dancer $5 in her garter as I left. She smiled at me. What a dickhead he was.

Unfortunately I still don’t have an appreciation for the practice, I really didn’t learn anything but I did have fun trying.

I have seen stage slow drop, $1 bills dribbling down. It works well and it shows a great deal of care and regard. Usually the guy is already going out with the girl, or at least he is trying to lay claim to her.

Nice article, took some nerve asking those guys why they made it rain.

I don't see the rain too often in my club, but I usually go in the afternoon, when it isn't as crowded.
The few times I did go at night, sometimes one of the younger guys would make it rain.

I just always thought it was either to support for a fav, or just to show off in the club, most likely in front of his buddies.

I sometimes set at the rail and tip several dollars per dance to a fav, but never just throw the money at her.
I would feel silly doing it.
Prefer to slip the money into her g-string...they get more up close and personal that way!

Thank you for your research. I am in awe of your field methods. I have seen much the same in my limited views of this practice. It either is a show off move or a disdainful one. I do not understand either. The girls I have spoken to about this are , of course, indifferent to the motive and only care about the outcome.

As I have seen the stage slow drop being done, a guy walks up to the stage, maybe to the corner, and she gets on her back, maybe knees up, right under him, and he lets the bills dribble down. I requires consent. I think it is nice. But usually they have to know each other.

Throwing it up in the air, I have seen this done as an act of desperation. Girl was showering her attention on to me, I know not why, and ignoring another guy's tips. So he threw the rest of his wad, about 20x 1$, up into the air. It did not have any effect, she barely broke eye contact with me. Though of course at the end she did round it all up.

He just should have gotten up from the stage. Find another girl, or wait until that one returns to her right mind.

I always assumed it was part of the hip-hop culture where showing off and being brash about it is celebrated and seemingly the norm - e.g. the big chains and all the bling - music videos w/ fancy cars they probably don't even own - etc - and of course young people imitate it (not all young people of course but the thug wanna-bees).

Some guys have mentioned on TUSCL in the past that their faves ask them to tip them on stage so others will follow - so I assume part of it may be "an inside job" per se but most of it is just attention wanting people

I'll second the comments made by PC. Vegas definitely it's the hip-hop where i've seen just a wad being tossed out and walked away from almost every time. St. James in Houston i'm thinking it's really the first option. Funny thing there is they have an air cannon upstairs by the stage. Can't be sure exactly how much goes out - but the hilarious part is it's ALL over the place. I swear the girls must loose about 10-15 - $1 bills because it's on and under tables all around the stage area. Worst part is there - the girls have to get out a big swifter broom and sweep it all up into a big bucket. To me that just cheapens it out. Especially one gal who had about 4-5 shots go off during her 2 song set. The DJ had to get an announcement on that she's gotta clean it all up so other dancers need to help her out. As that all seems to come from the upstairs lounge, i'm sure it's some payback method happening there.

It's a good idea in general, but over used in cases like the top. Then again - at St James you can't touch them to tip - you have to put it on the stage which really kills it.

I have never fucking understood it either. It's always either a) guys thinking it impresses everyone, when in fact it makes you look like an attention whore, or b) noobs who think it's something you're supposed to do in a SC.

I've been SC'ing since the mid-80s, and used to be you never saw it.

My favorite "making it rain" story: Last summer I visited Jimmy's in Chicago Heights late on a weeknight when dancers and customers are overwhelmingly black. I went to the stage to tip a particularly gorgeous black dancer, but a young black guy on the other side of the stage threw about $100 in singles onto her ass and the stage. When he was done, I threw one single on the pile and told her "Him and me -- we made it *rain* up in here!"

Guess who she did lap dances for?

Interesting... Here's a true story, believe it if you will. I was at the freaking Admiral Theatre in Chicago and a whale (he wasn't dressed fancy or anything, just seemed like a regular bigger middle aged guy) just walks up to the stage between two patrons and plops about 15 or so stacks of singles (they still had rubber bands or those bank paper bands on them) onto the ledge of the stage. When the dancer walked/crawled up to him, he just tossed a few toward her (the whole stacks, bands and all), then a couple more, then a couple more, and then the rest of them. He then took out a wad/roll of hundreds I'm guessing and waved it at her face in a come hither motion as if there's a lot more of this if you want some and then put it back in his pocket and walked away. Never have I seen anything like that and I probably won't again. Just dropping $1500 plus onto the stage on one dancer at a club that isn't known for extras at all? I wonder how the other guys on the stage felt, as if gee, I guess I don't need to contribute a single dollar to this girl now (I don't think anyone did). She couldn't even carry them off the stage in her hands/arms. After futilely trying, she just kicked, swiped them toward the edge, where the bouncer just grouped it up and took it somewhere, where hopefully later she got it all, but I'm guessing the bouncer probably pocketed a stack or two. That was a pretty lazy way of making it rain and picking up the rain I guess.

Another true story was at the same club (I always tend to see the most "rain" at nude stages). This was many many months prior to the above story and the previous record of rain I had seen. A young thin guy in a Jordan track suit (Jordan coat over Jordan wife beater over Jordan track pants and I'm guessing Jordan shoes) walks up to the stage in the beginning of the second song for the girl. He takes out a thick stack/wad of singles (probably a couple hundred or so) and proceeds to flick about twenty at a time toward the girl every 5-10 seconds or so while he's moving to the music kind of like a DJ. He actually looked and acted kind of like a metro DJ. He finishes the stack, spreads out his arms in something between a shrug or open hug gesture and then pulls out another thick stack and repeats the same procedure. When he leaves almost the entire stage (about 100 square feet) is covered with singles. It takes the bouncer/crew almost half a song to round up all the money. I didn't know 4-500 singles could cover a stage like that. I was impressed that he was able to seemingly get it all or practically all of it onto the stage. He had good precision and may have done this before.

Again, this guy also seemed like he wanted to show off, but was apparently a regular/fan of the dancer like the previous whale (different dancer). And again, I don't know why at THAT club, anyone would spend/waste so much money on one girl on the stage. In both cases, the girls didn't leave the club, so no sex or extras likely occurred until after her shift if it happened.

You think you've seen everything...

For some SC custies money is not an issue so they probably barely give it a 2nd-thought w.r.t. spending it indiscriminately - if I was in that situation I'd probably make it rain once in a while since it seems dancers like it - I'd kinda do it more for them than for me - but since I have a discreet amount of $$$ I'm able to spend I have to choose more wisely w.r.t. how I spend it and getting dances (and extras every now and then) is how I prefer spending my discreet amount of $$$ - i.e. I can't be a consistent rain-maker and get as many dances as I like to normally get.

It's sometimes done to get the guys competing as we have big egos. I once had a dancer give me money to make it rain on her and she said it would make other guys do it. It worked. Best part was she wanted me to include my money as well but club didn't have enough ones for me.

One of our underground places, though not Mexican, the Bartender / Owner just walked up to the tipping rail and gave the girl $2. He said, "You do it like this."

Making it rain would scare other guys off. But that $2 really got the money coming in for her, and she was the first set for that night.

I think making it rain is strange.

justme, which making it rain method, the slow dribble down onto her, or by throwing it up into the air, where likely it will go all over.

And at the end of her set, like to claim her, but without interfering with her other tippers, or early on, which might scare off other tippers and might make her feel obliged to only pay attention to you?

i prefer to do it in waves. about $20 per wave.
i am such a klutz that anything beyond $20 tends to clump up. $50 falling together is kinda disappointing.

At Bourbon Street in Phoenix they had a "rain machine". You stick in a twenty or so for the dancer you want to rain on and while she's on stage the sound of thunder rumbles, the stage lights flicker like lightning and singles come shooting out from the ceiling onto the dancer. Reminds you of the money grab machine at carnivals where you enter a capsule and try to grab money as its blown around.

I have but not 100s but a note. I never have and never will knowing damn well I can get more out of her for less.

Guys do it to stunt on other guys. The girl doesn't matter. If anything, she hit the lotto being in the right place at the right time.

When I was at Deja Vu in North Hollywood, they had these videos of dancers on the back screens and kept showing raining dollar bills on the stage, like that was expected. Maybe in Vegas it is, The reality was few guys tipped the night I was there. But I was just in Columbus, and a guy in Cargo Pants just emptied his dollar wads on a hot blonde (who would perch next to him for the couple hours I was there but no private dances occurred). Maybe his way of staking his claim. When you see the whole "making it rain" thing, most of the guys with their $1 or $2 or $3 don't even want to bother. I think it's just a stupid practice, myself. In the end, the guy who does that probably doesn't get any laps, which would actually earn the girl some real money.

I had a dancer explain the proper technique for "making it rain." I was at Bourbon Street in NJ on a Saturday afternoon, she was a stunning, white, 20-something, gymnast doing an amazing pole routine when I walked in. She must have noticed my jaw on the ground because as soon as she got off stage she came right over. There was a hot connection but that's another story.
She told me to imagine I was cumming on her and the dollars were my jizz.
She directed me to hold the stack down by my cock and flick out the bills with the thumb of my other hand, when you do it right it looks kinda like you are beating off. She got in front of me and let me "cum" all over her face, tits, ass, pussy, all the while acting like she loved the imaginary load I was blowing all over her, rubbing it in and stuffing it in her bottoms. It was sexy as fuck! The best part was she recycled the same stack each time she was on stage with a unique way to have that "load" drip down and over her incredible body.
