Is $20 in the hand worth more than $30 in the bush?

  Watch dances drop to $10 and dancers make it up on volume.

  SuperDude, you presuppose that dancers are rational economic agents. I hope you're right.

  If they would listen to people who make sense or use common sense, lower the dance prices if you're sitting around not doing dances and if that is what is causing the customers not to buy dances. Customers are trying to save their money as well because they have less of it with food and gas and utilities all costing more than they used to. I don't mind too much though that dancers in general haven't figured this out along with strip club managers. It is rather easy for me to say no to a high price dance offer. Now if a dancer says she'll dance for $10 a lap dance, my resistance to getting a dance suddenly drops, if I like the dance my resistance to getting more at that price is still low or maybe even lower if I am enjoying her dance. Before I know it, she could make $40 to $60 dollars off of me by doing 4 to 6 dances. Now if she had only asked me to do one dance at $30 to $40 dollars, she wouldn't have any lap dance money from me and I wouldn't have given it a second thought. That's the problem I believe many have. They believe it's better to charge high prices and hope for a big kill and they sit around doing nothing most of the time (if not then good for you). Same thing applies to poor people and government expectations, they want the government to pay for all their needs. I guess with the middle class lowering their expectations, the middle class is picking up that expectation now. Vote for Obama, he's promising a tax cut now. Don't worry, he'll give it to you and after 2 or 3 years, he'll say he needs to increase the payroll tax, social security tax, etc. etc.. Don't worry, if you don't get a pay raise, you won't get taxed as much. We'll all be happier to be poorer so that we can avoid getting taxed as much. I think both Obama and McCain aren't that bright but Obama will be the next president so I guess we'll all have to pay up. Kind of like get the loan now, pay up big later, unless you're not poor like the middle class is becoming. Sorry for the rant at the end of my post.

  I said no thanks or maybe later my first night visiting the Masters at the beach. All the dancers told me prices like $25 for a lap dance. Another visit on another night, I kept saying no thanks. Then one dancer (probably doing what most dancers aren't supposed to do) asked me 2 dances for $30? I thought wow, a much better price and said ok. I wasn't going to buy any dances because I didn't want to spend that much money buying up expensive lap dances. She must have broken my resistance. I ended up blowing away several more lap dances that night at the regular price. I enjoyed the dances though. I went back to saving money after that.

  Evilcyn, "I never ask for more then that unless a tip is offered" (1) The word is "than" not "then". (2) If a tip is OFFERED you did not ASK for it. If you ask for money it is NOT a tip - it might be a handout or a fee or.. but it is not a tip.

  Honestly, I ask my favorite waitress which guys have a tab open with a card that pre-approved for a grand or more and I go sit down and introduce myself... Anytime there is some negotiation with a guy over money I tell them to keep it. Having a guy try to be cheap seriously turns me off to dancing for them so i would rather just sit there. However I have a day job...I can leave the club broke if I want to. I don't know how I would feel if I dancing paid my bills.

  I have to agree with miss-frankie. I try not to low-ball girls because it makes them FEEL that they are not worth as much, go figure that strippers value themselves in $, maybe they're not as different from guys as they think! As far as the whole $10 or $20 lap dance thing, going to a club where there is a low back-room fee and the dancers work on a 'Tip basis' gets you the most millage for your money. And I don't necessarily agree that strippers who have cheap rates will get more dances. For me, it's whether I Vibe with her. If she's SMOKING, but I don't Vibe with her, I'll probably ask her to leave, even if she offered to PAY ME for a lap dance, although I'd consider giving a Lap Dances for $20. LMAO! ;) Every time I have given money in advance for anything it has been a rip off. I CAN say that the older the stripper the more compassionate she is, and also strippers who have a child seem to be very caring girls too.

  It seems simple to me. When demand (for dances) is high, the price can go up. What creates demand? Several things, but two common ones are: 1) lots of customers with money to burn, and 2) dancers who people want dances from. If a particular dancer is in high demand, she can usually charge more. If there are a lot of men who want to spend money, more dancers can charge more. If there are few customers, and a dancer is not a "high-demand" dance, she should charge a price that attracts more customers.
