Stimulus money finally washing out of the system

It would seem that the stimulus money is finally washing out of the system at some clubs, at least if recent trends hold. Opportunities are opening back up that dried up for a while, with girls showing back up in the clubs who had not worked over the last few weeks. It took longer than I thought, but there it is.
Anyone else experiencing the same thing now?

My opportunities were fantastic going into the holidays and even decent after until those lump sum checks came out a few weeks ago, then suddenly a bunch of girls were MIA. But over the past week things have really improved.
You've got the stimulus checks, you have people getting extra money for each child, you have the three hundred dollar a week federal subsidy for those still unemployed, and you have people being able to skip paying rent since there is a moratorium on evictions. Until this all ends, if it ever does, there will be labor shortages throughout the economy and that includes strip clubs.
In my business I’ve seen a bump in sales every time the checks hit except for this last time. I may not agree with issuing them anymore but it’s hard for me to complain if it’s helping my bottom line at work.
My customers are business and THEY ALL complain about not being able to find workers.
Don’t know how this will shake out, but my guess is too much of an emphasis is placed on industries that are less labor intensive and not enough attention is paid to other forms of employment that can become lucrative careers with abundant opportunities because they aren’t sexy.
But, I feel like there are still those out there making it last. Its just a feeling, not tied to extensive studies or anything, but I feel there are a lot of jobs out there people don't want. Food service for sure. Some are hesitant to work for health reasons, some are just lazy and don't have an immediate need for the cash. Those that haven't been paying rent or utilities see no reason to start now.
The question is how many states reduced their pandemic extras now that many of them are opening back up.
And yes, most of these single mother dancers file tax returns because of the lump sum EITC rebate they receive each year, which means that they got the stimulus too for themselves and their kids. But many of them likely didn't qualify for enhanced unemployment because they dramatically under-report their earnings each year.
Imagine one of these girls having two kids and getting the max EITC of $6k plus another $4.2k in stimulus. $10k can hold some of these gals for a while, but not forever. I guess "forever" has finally arrived. Good times.
They're not out there buying houses. But they're leasing luxury Apts. Buying up designer shit. Bbls lip fillers etc. Plus coke and weed aren't cheap.
Girls in big cities love living nigga rich.
You're a fuckibg idiot if you think having money means they're buying houses or setting up stock portfolios.
A lot of dancers def hustle for their $$$ - but just as many have atrocious work-ethic and why there are so many that spend a lot of the time in the club just interacting w/ their phones, or hiding in the dressing-room, or hanging w/ other dancers and ignoring custies – many dancers stop hustling if they’ve made enough for the day/week; and many disappear from the club if they have a regular OTC – i.e. if they are able to get by for now w/ all the current gov giveaways, many will likely choose to live off of that if they can until that dries up and they don’t have a choice (just like when a regular OTC dries up; etc) - at the end of the day one would assume not all dancers are in the same-boat w.r.t. their finances and how many are doing-well-enough from gov payments and how many are not
The lazy ones are obvious though. But I think the generalization being made in the thread is Classist and tries to put dancers down.
Salty, how many strippers do you know that even own houses? And the ones that do often have a partner with a vanilla job.
Btw you do know that over 5% of the population still does not have a bank account, right? For this reason, almost any expense can be paid in cash, including rent, utilities, cell phone bills, car payments, etc., etc.
Utility companies and cell phone providers often contract with a number of places to accept cash payments and/or have their own retail outlets. Car loans can be paid directly at bank branches. Many independent landlords will happily accept cash. And for any expense that cannot be paid by check, money orders or bank checks work just fine. A girl can get her bills paid with a wad of cash simply by spending a couple hours out making a few stops.
Some do indeed work the minimum they can get away with. But obviously this is not universal or it would have been even worse during the height of the government cash blowout. I know some girls who were showing up even though they got paid, but that wasn't the majority of them.
For some I don't think it's laziness as much as emotional limits and the stresses of the job. But the reasons why some don't show up when they are flush really don't matter. All that matters is when the government mortgages our kids' future to pay strippers large sums of money not to work, the strip club experience suffers as a result.
But finally the imbalance is righting itself. Over the past 3-5 days, things have improved dramatically in my local clubs. Booya!
Clubs are filling for the simple fact that they're reopening
Exactly, who else lives like this??? Drug dealers....because its hard to launder money..no assests.
"how many strippers do you know that even own houses? And the ones that do often have a partner with a vanilla job."
not many, if they do its because of their other W2 job, doing hair, realestate, lashes, bar maids lol.
And if you drinking heavy, do weed its not like you want to show up to work the next. people that dont make it have a substance abuse problem. Half of all jobs is just showing up on time, the other half is looking good while doing your job
lol. Was that an intentional double entendre?
If he abandoned his alternate fantasy reality now, where strippers live on easy street and love his company, then he'd have to face everything that he really is. I think we all know THAT ain't happening. 😉
RickiBoi you really need to give it a rest we’re all familiar with your chickenshit hidden behind a keyboard antics, and while you’re on the way out the door take that other know-it-all, fool, phat boy hell with you.
I know they just want my money because none of them have ever volunteered to hang out with me for free, let alone have unpaid for sex. I'm twice their age so I don't expect that anyway. However, I do think they like some customers a little more than others. Or, maybe to be more accurate, they dislike all customers but they dislike some less than others. Some girls think guys their age are immature. Some girls think guys their age are disrespectful or rude, at least compared to older guys. Other girls think just the opposite and think it's the old guys who are rude and disrespectful. There is no such thing as a typical stripper and every girl is different.
That means if the customer mix changes the numbers of the type of customer a particular dancer tolerates better or dislikes less may increase or decrease. The girls are acting like they like everyone but a lot of them are not very good actors so their true feelings come through and that influences their ability to sell dances in cases where they can't cover up their dislike or revulsion towards a particular type of customer. A dancer who can tolerate the old guys normally makes good money but if there are fewer old guys, for example them staying out of clubs to avoid a disease they are more likely to die from, that type of dancer will make less money and will therefore be more likely to quit.
I’m sure there are plenty of dancers that don’t care for older customers but no salesperson is ever successful at a sales job unless they genuinely like their customers, this narrative being promoted by a few losers that need to salve their egos by saying the dancers are repulsed by older guys are just blowing smoke out of their ass, they don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about.
As far as hanging out with you for free does your doctor hang out with you or your mechanic do they hang out with you, how about the cashier at the supermarket do they hang out with you, or do you think they hate or are repulsed by you, please don’t buy into the losers narrative. Most salespeople that are successful like the people they are selling to, or their customers will pick up those vibes and find other ways to get the product or service they want from people that don’t dislike them.
Similarly – being into chocolate I hit mostly black clubs – although not always the case or the case at every black club; I feel I often get more attention at the black-clubs than most of the black-custies – I assume the dancers make the calculus that I’m not there to just hang-out and I’m likely there to spend to get my chocolate-fix – now if I go to a regular black nightclub or bar I would not get nearly the same attention/priority; just like a 50+ y/o “strip club stud” likely would get little to no play at a nightclub w/ similarly hot young women – most dancers know, or learn, where their bread is buttered.
There are def women that are genuinely attracted to older guys (as long as he looks halfway decent) – tastes in the opposite sex are all over the place as we all should know – I myself, even as a teen, was way more attracted to older women (30s and 40s) than early-20s-girls – not saying I didn’t find early-20s girls attractive, I did, I was just more intrigued/attracted-to older women – even today at 51 I still prefer dancers in their late-20s thru early 40s (as long as they look good) vs late-teens/early-20s (I’m being that I’m into ebonies, there are ebonies in their 30s and even early-40s that have great bods; per my tastes - and the best fucks I've had has been w/ women in their 30s to early-40s; they fucked w/ gusto and either better-knew how to please a man or put more emphasis on it.
But IMO, 9 times out of 10 a dancer is showing extra attention to a 50+ guy, it’s about the $$$ - i.e. when she really wants to get fucked-good or she’s at home masturbating; I doubt she’s thinking about the old guy at the club – my 2-cents.
