Hey guys,
Wow, i never knew so many guys hated tattoos on dancers. And the "tramp stamp" is rather funny and appalling. I had my first tattoo placed on my lower back for professional reasons. I wanted a tattoo but I knew I didn't want one on a body part that may be visible in a professional setting or on parts that were subject to gravity as your body changes (saggy tits=saggy tit tattoo). Plus my tattoo was done while I was in college and before I became a dancer. Granted if I had been a dancer before the tattoo, I would have put it in the same place for the same reasons.
LOL!!! D120,
I am so guilty of leaving my $$ bag and stuff with my regs. I will do things like call them or send them text msgs on holidays, or just call during week to see how things are going. I try to remember their bdays and get them just lil small gifts, like a shirt or something. They usually do the same, they will leave stacks of $$ on the table we are sitting @ while they go to the restroom, and get me little gifts for my bday and holidays. Hell some have even hung out with my BF in the club where I work. I have built trust and friendships with them (so I think).
Being a dancer, I have moments when I am selective, and it's moreso the customer and their demeanor and not how much money they are or arent spending. I generally try to avoid the guys that come off as assholes who think we are supposed to paw and beg for their $$$. On the other hand, if I notice a guy, no matter what he looks like, who has been just sitting by himself for a few mins, I will stop by his table and chop it up with him for a while just to make sure he is having a good time.
Once I noticed this guy who had been in the club for about an hour and no one stopped by to at least speak to him. He had a friggid look and came off as a shy, standoff-ish guy. He wasnt very attractive but he wasnt ugly either. He was just an average guy. I stopped by his table and sat down to talk to him and out of the blue he hands me a $100 just for taking the time to acknowledge him. I found out he was in the military, was leaving in three wks to go overseas, and his fam was pretty well off. After that night, he came in every night I worked, until he left, and spent a lot of $$ on me. He also brought in friends a few times before he left who still come into the club although he is overseas now. Similar things have happened with other guys who were just happy someone noticed them and made them have a good time.
I think some dancers forget the fact that one person can either start a buzz or keep people away from the club where you work. So as a way of maybe saying "hey you chose our club, have fun, and hopefully you will come back", I just try to make them feel comfy and welcomed. Just because they may not spend much that particular night doesnt mean they will not come back and spend. I have had many guys come back with friends because I was so nice that they figure most of the girls in our club were the same way and they would spend loads of $$. Afterall, you never know who enters a club and I'm a firm believer in not judging a book by its cover. (or maybe I'm just a happy go lucky person and I like to have happy people around me)
DougS,
Actually yes I was apprehensive. Never before had I mixed business with pleasure in the form of a relationship or anything else. Yet, as stated before, he would just come in and hang out with me while I was working. Actually I think the fact that he would come in and we would just chill out, laugh, and have a few drinks is what drew me to him. He never really pushed the issue, as far has having my phone number, or going on a date. He didnt come across as the typical guy trying to pick up a girl, or dancer, like most I've come into contact with. The irony of it all is, through our many conversations, we discovered that we grew up in the same part of town, had previously hung out in the same places, knew a lot of the same people, and had alot in common, as far as our personalities and views on life, but never crossed paths before (seems like something out of a movie, right?). Yes, there were a few dances here and there, but a good person is a good person. So by the time he asked me out, which was a lunch break from work (4 him), I took a chance and it's been almost 2 yrs now.
Well Doug,
I am an entertainer and I have a BF. I actually met my current BF in the club where I am currently employed. It started out as him and his friends hanging out with me there, and then we started dating casually outside of the club. Over time our feelings grew and he realized that I was a good girl. One I think a man, or any person, should realize that where you work, or your job, does not dictate who you are as a person. Two, he has to trust that the woman he is with is a "stand-up" gal. An honest woman is an honest woman, and a skank is a skank no matter where she works. For all any guy knows, their darling wife, or GF, could be sleeping with her boss @ her nice office job just to get a raise (now there's something to think about). I think a man has to be one whom is content with himself, which makes him not so envious. My BF has no problem with me continuing to work there nor has he every pressured me to stop. He makes good $$ @ his job so he doesnt need my $$. He still hangs out in there with his friends while I'm working. We have a great relationship because my job it is what it is; just work. And that doesnt or hasnt changed the fact that we get along like best friends, we hang out in other strip clubs together, we are both silly as all hell, care about each other, and we both know where each others head and heart are.
