I thought of another one that has been becoming more popular lately. Guys who want to show u pics of their girlfriends on their mobile (cell) phones.

Dude I don't giva shit.

Gah! Any of these Picture Phone Guys are total time wasters. The most legendary PPG I ever had was also a grabber and an incessant talker who got up and followed me when I tried to leave. He was waving his phone around, all "Look, and this one time, I got to touch a bear at the circus. See this picture of me touching a bear!" I guess he was just trying to fit in, because at my old club, attempts to show pics of one's various children and one's assortment of baby mammas was commonplace.

I had to bump this thread because it's a gold mine.

Also, for the newer ladies this thread is a great resource!

To add my :twocents:, I have two words, VEGAS LOCALS >:(

it kinds creeps me out when guys show me pictures of their kids in the first few minutes of conversation. it comes across as some kind of weird pick-up-technique. like he's trying to use his kids to show me his sensitive side. creep-a-riffic.

of course, if it's someone regular or the topic of kids comes up or something, then i don't mind. at that point it seems more genuine.

these are how to spot a time waster in 6 seconds

my personal experience is whenever i approach a customer and stand near him and he immediately slides around and tries to put his arm around me before i've even introduced myself.... this equals one thing: tight ass sleazebag

the other is when i guy tries to get my attention by saying ANTHING after the word hi eg. baby, sexy, beautiful, honey i don't even bother stopping.


One more is when a guy calls you over in hush hush tones and points to a friend, whispering in your ear, "That guy over there really wants a dance, go talk to him". he's just playing a joke on both his friend and you and wants to have a laugh at your expense

Anyone who says they love me within two seconds of speaking. Or someone who says they love me after seeing my ass.

Basically, anyone who says they love me... who isn't another dancer.

another time-waster is the guy at the bar who caps on me for my supposed lack of confidence and the fear he can see in me. as i wait for my glass of water he picks on me about how he can see through me and things like that. i don't understand people who take delight in putting others down like that.
Oh god damn, I HATE that! Do they really think they're being helpful?

Most guys are really nice, at the worst they'll ignore you but I had some asshole that basically spent the day telling me I sucked at stripping when I'd been doing it for about a month. I mean, what the hell?

And if there's one thing strippers are good at, it's revenge }:D I made sure he didn't get any attention from anyone that day.

I've gotten meaner and meaner since I've started dancing. I used to be SUCH a pushover.

The other day it was dead, a saturday day shift. This couple (white trash deluxe too) comes in in the middle of my set, sit at one of the tables near the rack and don't tip me anything. We get through the rotation and I go up to the stage to wait for my next turn and it's obvious they didn't tip the other girl either. They're just sitting there, watching, drinking beer.

So I go up there and for my first song I do dance but I don't get naked. No tip. Second song I half ass dance and the third song I mostly walk around with a holy-fuck this is boring look on my face. Finally my set's over and I walk off the stage when the next girl comes on.

I walk by their table and the guy goes "hey! do you enjoy what you do?" (obviously implying that I don't). I smirked and said "yeah, I do, but it tends to be better when people are tipping" and walked off.

Loved the look on his face when he realized what I said wasn't friendly.

Also the other day a customer was being ridiculously grabby, tried tucking a dollar bill in the back of my underwear and I snatched it and threw it on the floor. Later he got more touchy and I yelled that I was kicking his ass out and got dressed right then and just stood there waiting for the next girl while listening to him say "sorry, sorry!" in whateverthefuck accent he had. ::)

I have a little trick for saving myself dissapointment, if you are on the border about a guy, ask him,
"so whats the most you've ever spent in one night at a strip club?"
I had a guy recently answer "geez, well , I must have spent at least $100 at this one club..." I held back a laugh and said "nice! so you want to break your record tonight or what?" he then said "sorry, but I don't have that kind of money on me tonight" I walked away, I guess he worked for McD's or something

PS: To put the "I just want to take you to dinner" time wasters in their place, you can say "sorry, I only date guys who I find attractive" lmaoooo

I have to disagree here on Vegas locals... I've actually found that I tend to make GOOD money with people from Vegas or California. I think one reason for it is that the cover charges and drink prices are usually a lot higher in Vegas & Cali than down here, so they come out thinking that it'll cost them $100 just for cover & drinks, and then they realize it'll only cost them $30, so they decide to spend the extra money on dances.

And not to be insulting, but it has been my observation that "Barbie dolls" don't do as well with Vegas or Cali guys. I've had several of them tell me that they like SCs here better than "back home" because "back home, all the strippers look the same. They're all skinny with fake boobs and they usually are blonde." They like dark hair and (surprisingly) smaller boobs. They're the ONLY group of people that doesn't spend very often on our "Barbies". I think they like something different.

I disagree on the guys who ask when you're up next on stage.

Many guys who ask me that are just trying to figure out how long they have me for until I get called back up.. so they can take me for a dance or danceS. If I'm up next song and tell them so, they'll ask me to come get them when I get off the stage. If I have time, they will ask if I'd like to go do a dance.

I have seen guys who wait until I'm on stage and want to head to the dance area after each set, too. I wouldn't assume that every guy only wants to spend singles on you when he asks when you're up next.

AHAHAHA!!! I LOVE THIS THREAD!!!!

I've only been dancing for a month, and last night I made the mistake of hanging out with the two biggest time wasters of all FOR 2 HOURS!!! The one dude kept pretending to be interested in a dance, and kept waiting for the top of the hour VIP special, until the very last one...he had about five minutes to decide, and once he FINALLY was like, "Yeah, lets do a dance," top of the hour ended and I was called onto stage . He got all mopey and was like, "But I've been waiting all night to spend some time with you, can't you wait to go on stage till afterward?" blah blah blah...I was just like, "Sorry, maybe next time you should make up your mind faster," and walked off. (Fortunately, if we don't make any money we get an hourly pay at the end of the night, which actually equaled more than what the dance would have.) But anyway, I've been PISSED OFF about since last night, feeling all disgruntled about how much fucking time I wasted on that stingy bastard, and I've been wondering to myself how to avoid ever getting stuck like that again and how to avoid those types of customers. Lo and behold, someone just HAPPENED to revive this thread!!! I'm LOVING all the awesome tips, and I feel so inspired to release my inner bitch!!! Thank you ladies!!!

I've gotten surprisingly better at this than I ever thought! I've noticed increased revenue since I've increased my "spidey-sense" :)
It's true that it comes with time!

Yay for the Spidey Sense! Saved me a couple nights ago...

This group of 6 or so guys came in and bought into VIP immediately. Great, I think, n I checked em out- turns out they were pilots in from outta town to teach some training classes. Super great, I think! But then, it all went to hell- I couldn't get anyone to commit to an hourly rate, all they wanted to know was what my hotel rate was. GRR. So I just did some regular dances for one of em instead, but still the entire time he's grabby and yammering on about his hotel. After 4 I was fed up, and convinced the group was crap when I had to aggressively prise my $80 for dances outta him, so I left pronto and put word out they were bums.

Fast forward to the end of the night, someone didn't hear me or didn't listen apparently... I caught the trail of another dancer's rant about being stiffed by em. I'm so glad I recognized the loser signs and got out relatively fast.

I wouldn't know what a time waster looks like becuz if they don't show me money in 30 secs I already moved on and forgot what that person looked like and the 1's who do show me money after a while if they are my regulars I might remember them (I have only 4 or 5 I know by thier actual name only becuz they are soo regular I can pay my bills according to thier paydays), but generally I remember them as Frankie, or Bengies ...Washintons I rarely even bother with.

I know I miss out on money that comes with those customers who have to warm up to you, but that time I would have spent or wasted on them I spend making money with some1 else ready and willing on the drop of a dime to hand it over to me.

"no, what's your real name?" is my pet peeve to the point i've smacked guys for it.
I avoid:

grabby

french

baggy gangsta with big fake chains and the sticker still on thier hat

too trendy clothing (especially on the 40-something fake tanned with frosted hair type- you dont even have to get close enough for them to grab you cuz they always do)

guys with bad jokes who think thier great (corny's ok, tho)

and anyone who thinks they have any kind of connection/ insight

i got one goooood! I ignore the I'm friends with the owner ones, but this one guy always wanted me to dance for him. After the first time I always said no to him, but one night he had pissed about 6 girls off by whipping his dick out on them during dances. So I volunteered and when he did it to me i smiled real big, then whacked him as hard as i could right on the dick! He actually complained to the manager who almost died laughing and gave me free house fee for a week and when the girls heard, i got a round of applause in the dressing room.

Sometimes, it's the "I need a few drinks first" guys.
For the most part at my new club I have stayed pretty busy, but last Thursday night was slow. I asked a guy and he gives me the "I'm not ready yet, I need a few drinks, but come back" So an hour goes by and he is still sitting alone with his beer, I go back and again he says he still needs a few more. Normally if it was busy, I wouldn't be wasting my time coming back again, but he kept tipping me on my stages and showing interest. SO, I come back over the THIRD time and say "So, are you buzzed enough to where I can take advantage of you yet?" And give a flirty smile/wink thing. "Ummm, no, I'm still not ready"
Ok I don't care how slow it is. Third time's a charm and I am not coming back.
I tell him "You know, if you don't want to get a dance from me, all you have to do is say no thank you...I'm a big girl"
Then he starts in on "Well, it's not that but...."blah blah blah......
At this point I don't care anymore. I interrupt him and say "Ok, thank you have a good night" and walk away....

The guys I make the most money from are bikers and off shore oil workers. They have wasted other girls' time, but not mine. I told one of them, "sure, I'll sit and talk to you but it isn't free." He laughed and handed over ($50 )money with every other song all the time I sat there. He does this now every time he comes in. Dude actually bought me a biker jacket for Christmas several years ago. Tips me really well when I wear that as a costume on stage.

Obvious gothic fakes are time wasters too....(if it looks like hot topic threw up on them....RUN)

From what I saw last nite, there are a few pool tables in the back. usually the guy who's all alone, shootin a game and not even looking at the stage will not buy dances. found this out the hard way.

now some of the guys who start telling you how beautiful you are and start telling you all about them arent time wasters. this one guy was a combo and ended up buying 5 VIP(private) dances from me, tipping me everytime I went on stage.

there was another guy braggin about how he restores cars and had over 30k invested on more than one car. i was kinda of skeptical, but then when i went on stage, he stood at the end of our little catwalk (its at a height where if we're on our back doing some leg trick we're usually right at their goober lol.:P) and i was dancing for him and he was throwing out $1's right after another for as long as i danced for him. that was cool. and that was every time i went on stage.

Ill keep a lot of these tips in mind, I dont mind sitting and chatting, but if in the first few minutes it doesnt go anywhere, long awkward silences, im the only one talking, ill say "It was nice chatting with you!" and leave. :D

i agree with above, this thread is a gold mine, and great for newbies like me!

That's what I was thinking.. Do they think they are original???

Or "you want me to dance for you?".. Gag.

You are hot!!!

With regard to the I know the owner- I used to get this a lot because a lot of people know the name of the guy who owned the club.

So I would say, bet you a dance you don't.

Of course, this is a direct jab at the ego.

I will pull a pen out and a napkin or scrap of paper, then say" write down his last name". It had to be spelled correctly, but as most didn't know it anyway. I think I only had to give away one table dance ever with this one! And probably did about 150 $25 dances for calling them on their bullshit.

I hate the "I don't want to take you for a dance but I'll take you for a drink or for dinner" ones too. WHY DO YOU COME TO A STRIP CLUB? And do you think I go to work to find a boyfriend?
I think some guys honestly think dancers see strip clubs as a real life dating website as well as the work place (or just the first one).



And I have to say that I've yet to have a nice customer that's from Texas!!!


I'm in CA, but honestly I do well with the Texans that come here. That said, I rarely meet anyone who isn't from Dallas but I had one guy come in a couple nights ago. He kept eyeing me but another girl was on him. When they went to do a dance I went to the bar to get a water and he had forgotten his drink. He walked back over and and told me I had a beautiful smile. When he got done dancing with the other girl he came back and girls were on him to dance, he was eyeing me again and after couple of girls approached him back to back he came up and asked me for a dance, tipped me the price of the dances he bought and was sweet and respectful, no hands. Best customer I've ever had!


Brigette pretty much nailed it.

Any guy that acts like he's on to our "game".
Any guy that is excessively grabby without being excessively tippy. ;)

The worst are the guys that change the subject when you ask for a dance. These guys are professionals.

Hahaha.

As mentioned many times, any guy who starts talking about seeing you on the outside. My first weekend I started talking to a guy, a song or two goes by and he starts talking about this AMAZING date we're going to have, how it's going to be better than any date anyone has ever taken me on and he DOESN'T expect sex. One line:

"and... I'll pick you up in a Bentley or a Ferrari, you won't notice the difference."

Hahaha.

He pretty much fit every time waster qualification but I couldn't get out of the conversation gracefully (now I would just walk away). He then proceeded:

"OK, I'll buy a dance from you. But only if you give me your number, and if you promise to go out with me. I guess you could lie, but that would be a pretty fucked up and money hungry thing to do."

I wanted to punch him in the face, and he had already wasted ten minutes of my time explaining this fantasy date he wanted to be the guy who could afford to take me on. So I gave him a fake number and told him to call me in a few days (which I haven't done since but he really deserved it...)

He bought 1 dance ::) and then had to ask him friend to loan him the $. Funny, he has a Bentley and a Ferrari, but not $40...

*guys who, when asked for a dance, say "UUUUMMMMMMMM" for a long time like they're "thinking" about it... I had a guy say "UMM..." for like 30 seconds straight, I had to stop him and just say "you know what? I'm going away now. Have fun thinking."

*guys who keep wanting me to come over and sit with them every time I walk by, even after I've spent a bunch of time with them already without them paying me, when I'm obviously busy doing shit that doesn't involve me wasting my time (doing stage sets, lapdances, taking a dinner break, running to the bathroom, doing $2-dance specials, etc.)

*guys who smile and wink at me and say "I'll keep you in mind for later, don't worry shorty/baby I gotcha". Because no matter how many or how few times I re-approach them or how good my timing is they end up stalling again and again, with the same "smooth" line, until they're done getting a free show and free conversations with random strippers who they realize won't date them and then sneak out the club right past me purposely avoiding eye contact with me with their tail between their legs

*Guys who invest a lot of time and energy trying to flatter me and get me to date them. When I politely refuse and ask them for a dance they look at me like i'm the biggest scammer/bitch in the world. Lapdancing and dating are two completely different things!

*Guys who are already have had plenty of beers but use the "let me just have another beer or 2, ok?" I mean how fucking plastered do you have to be to get a dance??

I like to mess with time wasters, mostly the ones that are trying to get a date out of me. I had this one guy following me around the whole night asking me out for one date. I knew this guy had no money, played pool for free drinks and wasted the other girls time. He was only chasing me cause I never once sat down with him and I guess he thinks that means I like him or whatever.. It was the end of the shift and last call was two minutes away and I was almost ready to punch him but I just turned around with a smiles and asked him if he like to sit and talk. He asked me for my name and what do I like to do then the date question again, I told him my stage name and I like to hangout, party, dance.. Then I started telling him about this fake ex I had and how he use to come in and buy dances from me. How he use to buy my whole night away and tipped me extremely well. I told him the guy bought over 10,000 dances before asking me out. I said we dated for abit but his job moved him out of state and I wanted to stay here so we broke up. At then end of this I, in a loving sigh, putting my cheek in my hand say any man that would spend so much time and money on me before asking is truely the perfect man. Then the batender comes up and says it closing time and I look to the guy and say night before walking off to get dressed.

Last call in like five minutes before the club closes so never enought time to find someone for one last dance.

Guys who want to see you on stage before they get a lapdance..
Guys who flash their cash but don't give you any...
Guys who want to hang out with out getting dances and promise to tip you for your time but don't do it RIGHT THEN, and say they'll give you money later..
Guys who "don't do dances because it such a tease"
Guys who promise you ridiculous things, like to put you in Playboy or make you a model

I disagree with the guys in suits thing. In my experience, I factor in age as well. I usually avoid the late 20s suits who come in as a group, because they are usually rude and bullshitters. The middle-aged suits are usually there to spend. I think maybe they've had time to adjust to the fact that they're past their prime and they don't mind paying to see a naked girl. I dunno.

I also disagree about the guys that ask what happens in the LD room... I can usually turn these into a sale. Sometimes they are dicks but more often than not I can squeeze a $50 from them.

One guy I typically avoid is the one who isn't drinking, never takes his eyes off stage no matter who is up, and has his big winter jacket on like he is ready to bolt at the drop of the hat. These guys always seem weird to me.

TOTALLY agree with the grabby guy! I would start telling these m effers off but it always gets my blood boiling and puts me in a bad mood for 30 minutes so now I just walk away. I love hearing your stories about telling them off though, ahahahahahahaha!

-guys who, if you've been sitting with for a while, have not brought up dances and refuse to buy you a drink when the waitress asks

-guys who tell you they want to buy a dance from you in anymore than "five more minutes"

-guys who complain about the cover charge

-guys who keep talking about how much money they have, how nice a car they drive, etc... if they have money they will show you, not tell you, and they will want to keep it low key anyway so they don't get ripped off by every girl in the room

-guys who have been sitting without a dancer for anymore than 7 minutes if customers are so low that girls are sitting around

-guys who keep asking "what do i get for $x?" and wont let it go without getting specifics

-guys who say "i dont really go to strip clubs cause I dont need to" in some form or another

-grabby guys... they just dont have the money and are trying to get as much as they can for free

Haha, I can top that one. A while ago at my club, a couple of young guys sat down and spread - not stacked, spread - 1s all over their table. It was probably only $100 or so, but they thought they were the biggest ballers the town had ever seen. Of course they didn't put any of it on the stages, they just sat there expecting the dancers to come swooping down like flies.

I was really proud, in a way, of my co-workers when I saw that almost everyone ignored them. One girl sat down with them for quite a while.. I think she got about $2 in the end.


Hehehe thats similar to what happened at a club I used to work at. Boys had money laid out on the table, one girl approached them with no luck and one of the veteran girls walks over with her drink and "accidently" spills it on the money, then in a "panic frenzie" to help clean up her mess, she bumps the table and the money falls to the ground. You shoulda saw the guys scrambling on all fours to get ALL their money that they had no intentions on spending anyways. I got such a kick out of it. ;D

- Guys who don't get over the whole stage name/real name thing.
You approach this guy, say your name and all he wants to do is harass you about whether it's your real name and he might even joke that his name is his stage name.
I actually used to have a regular who introduced himself with "Is that your stage name? That's cool. My stage name is Thunder... would you like to do a CR with me?" Lulz.
