Dancer Logic

Itsmytime
I’ve had enough and I can’t take it any more
I have not studied economics, so I hope someone can explain the logic behind the logic of a dancer.

I stayed for 1.5 hours at the last club I visited. During that time the girls sat around in a small section of the club and were either chatting amongst themselves or on their phones. No effort to circulate amongst the PLs.

It was soon time for me to go, so I approached the group and asked one of the girls if she would dance. Off we went. After a fun few dances, she left the booth while I ‘recovered’. A few minutes later I head towards the bathroom and see this same girl walking to the back with another guy. He must have caught her before she could make it back to the girl group.

So, she sat for 90 minutes in her underwear chatting with other girls or on her phone. A PL approaches her for dances, followed by more dances from another PL. Why would she not circulate the room, say once every half-hour?

She potentially could have sat there for a full shift and then gone home to complain how there’s no money to be made as a dancer.

Perhaps that’s why she’s a dancer and not an economist…

    She wound up leaving the club with your money and the other guy’s money, and she got to chill with her friends. Seems logical to me.

    At least she was out in the open so you could approach her. At one club I frequent (Phoenix PLs will know), dancers disappear into the dressing room, sometimes until they get called to their next stage. You can tip them on stage, ask them to come over, and when they come off stage they head right to the dressing room, probably to watch their phones for texts from regulars, while ignoring real $$$ right in front of them!

    When I ran my business we had well over 50 employees pretty much all working on various projects, one thing that was true for most projects, about 10-15% of those employees performed 70% of the work the rest were mostly doing as little as possible, we knew who we could rely on so the lazy ones would be used as fillers as needed, needless to say the 10-15% of those earned considerably more than the rest. I assume that’s pretty true across the board in any labor intensive industry. If you’re paying attention to the dancers, then you’ll see a similar situation. The gals you want to get with are those hustlers that actually do work, and earn well, the rest are seat fillers and scammers. They’re usually boring and don’t do very well.

    A lot of dancers have tpld me PLs extpect them to be mind readers. She rolls up and the PL says something like "I just got here" in a pissy voice.

    They may be fine with the money they make waiting for PLs to come up to them. I'm fine with doing that, and I don't feel they owe it to me to hang out for a while for free. They may prefer PLs who are like that. Your attitude about money changes a lot if/when you start feeling like you need a down payment on a house.

    Sometimes it's a mild protest against the dubiously legal practice of clubs telling them what time they have to be there by (when they don't get any salary).

    A lot of them make enough money that they don’t have to “hustle” constantly. I prefer that to the super thirsty dancers that pounce on you as soon as you walk in - and don’t take no for an answer.

    Dancer: "Do you want to go to VIP? It's $55 to the house and $300 for me for 30 minutes. We won't have sex but you will have so much fun that you will want to do a second 30 minute VIP."

    Me: "Huh. No thanks!"

    Trying to figure out the “logic odd a stripper” is a trip to futility. They live in Bizarro World.

    I don't like approaching dancers, I need them to approach me. I will however, hold direct eye contact and give a positive head nod to give encouragement for a full approach and acceptance.

    It's certainly true that you are much more likely to get good dances from a dancer with good hustle. But there are exceptions. Sometimes they're shy but not self-absorbed.

    Seems to me that the word hustle is being misinterpreted, what I was trying to communicate is that success is a result of hustle pretty much everywhere my use of the word is more of a throwback to my own era, does anyone here remember when Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Rex Sox was called Charlie Hustle, if so that was what I intended when I use that word.

    I see this a lot, and I have seen girls actively avoiding eye contact and making themselves appear unavailable. I have never understood this, and probably never will.

    Trying to understand dancer logic is a futile as trying to milk a dead cow

    Yes, it's really a mystery why someone you have contempt for doesn't rush right up to you.

    Sometimes it's anxiety.

    Sometimes a girl who has been away for a while is back and they want to catch up.

    Sometimes they are exhausted or hung over.

    Human nature is to want what you can't have. When girls approach you and everybody and are always circling the room, hustling, it can give off the vibe that they are available for anyone and everyone. This makes them less desirable. There's no chase, no making eye contact from across the room and rendezvous-ing, none of that.

    In reality, a girl like the one you described often comes across as lazy, uninterested, and boring. But the one who's always circling (the "vulture") is equally unattractive. So, the smart ones understand how to make themselves available to you, while not seeming desperate. It's a fine balancing act for any salesperson!

    I often ask dancers what their strategy is in the club. The answers are all over the map. Some have a quota of $500-$750. Some only spend time with regulars. The number 1 answer is that they don’t want other dancers to see them getting rejected.

    To the last poster...ask the same question to a PL and you could very well get the same answer...not wanting to be seen getting rejected.

    To me there are two types of dancers: type 1) make the money, they know it's a job, they have some sort of plan; or, type 2) it's fast cash, not really a job, and they only "work" at it until they meet whatever low hanging fruit goal she is trying to accomplish. You'll see type 2s predominantly at the club only makes money when the girl makes money places. If a type-2 hits here "quota" for the month, then you'll might not even see her for a while. In high rent places, it won't be long until you see her again, but in low cola areas, good luck. Type 1s are good but they tend to be mechanics.

    While I generally wait to be approached, if I see a girl that catches my eye more than the typical "hey look...pussy", I will approach her.
