Bachelor party guest stereo types
I've done so many bachelor parties, I can't even guess the number any more. THe funny thing is that there are always the same arch-types at these parties. Here's a few that come to mind:
1. Bouncer Groupie. This guy hangs around the with the bouncer/ driver at the party. He will usually ask the bouncer something like "How did you get this job?" He favors himself a pimp in the making but really he is nothing but a wannabe side kick.
2. Pussy Whipped Husband. This guy had to lie to his wife/ girlfriend about where he is just to attend the party. He is usually the first one to get shit faced drunk. Generally he starts yelling semi- offensive things at the dancers like "Spank that ass like it owes you money" and will be seen attempting to steal the dancer's panties. This guy is annoying and loud. Oh, and he only tips the absolute minimum, probably because the wife wouldn't let him bring any cash. Luckily, he usually passes out within the first half hour because he is a light weight drinker.
3. The Quiet Admirer. This guy usually sits quietly and smiles while the girls are dancing for the bachelor. Find this customer! He will spend a lot of money but he doesn't want a lot attention paid to him by the other party guests. He will be polite and let you know how amazingly beautiful the dancers are and how happy he is you are dancing for him. You will have to have the bouncer or bouncer groupie play interference with the Pussy Whipped Husband so that Quiet Admirer is comfortable and not the focus of attention in the party.
4. The Broke Advocate. This guy has no money but has no problem yelling at all the other guests to get their money out and start tipping the girls. He usually clutches a five or ten dollar bill the entire night, waving the money enthusiastically at the other party guests in an attempt to get them to part with their cash. He is usually chasing the girls out the door at the end of the party to finally tip them that $5 or $10 dollar bill and affirms that "everybody" tipped them good, right? The Broke Advocate and Pussy Whipped Husband sometimes compete for attention.
5. The Industry Expert. This is the guy who knows everything there is to know about strippers. He is usually overheard saying things like "I know how this works" and "How much for you girls to stay all night?" He will present his cell phone and show the other guests, the bouncer and especially the Bouncer Groupie his extensive collection of dancer phone numbers and text messages. He will pester the dancers about whether they know his ex-girlfriends Lexus, Sunshine and Sasha. All those girls work at the best clubs (of course) and make millions of dollars a day::). He'll try to get the girls to talk about club gossip and dismisses the girls as "newbies" if they don't engage in industry talk. Then he will offer to introduce them around and force his phone number on the party strippers. He usually doesn't tip much, if at all, because he favors himself a part of the industry.
6. The Female Friend. She is the one that hangs out with the boys. She is usually a little on the slutty side and wouldn't mind being a stripper herself. Don't approach the Female Friend right away. It will take a few drinks for her to loosen up a bit. Eventually she'll get into the party action. Let her do your job for you. All you have to do is coax her to the "lap dance seat" then convince her to flash her bra. Once she's gone that far, it is a cinch for her to start giving the naked strippers lap dances and the guys at the party will go ape shit. They'll offer the strippers hundreds of dollars if the strippers can get The Female Friend naked. Always offer the female friend some cash for her fun and leave her your phone number in case she is interested in being a stripper, too. A stripper can never have too many partners to call on in case of a last minute party!
Okay, those are mine. What stereo-types have you seen at your parties?

I've never done a private party but this seems exactly like the kind of men at private parties.

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
I've seen:
The critic. Doesn't matter the music, the outfit, etc. He has to complain about everything.
The "I love you" guy. This guy thinks you'll fall madly in love with him. He keeps either trying to get your number or gives you his. He's convinced you only have eyes for him.
The horny guy. This guy keeps trying to get you to do extras for him. He's convinced strippers are hookers too.
This isn't so much what I've seen at parties, but from parties I've turned down: The cheapo. This person after you tell them a price, they keep trying to go lower. The money they offer you is so ridiculous but they can't figure out why you'd turn down $25 for an hour (when you charge 200 an hour for example). Everytime I've ever done a cheapo show (usually because it was someone I knew and I needed money) the tips weren't there.
The devoted groom to be. A few parties the groom to be only had eyes for his bride. These guys were sweet and tipped pretty well.
The first timers. Usually college kids who've never been to a bachelor party (and possibly ever saw a stripper). They tend to be shy but are having a great time.
I've seen all of the others too.

Yup! I've met this one quite a few times. He is always respectful and will have fun however always says to you that the topless girls and strippers are mainly for his mates not him. He isn't interested.
He will go so far as to show you pics of his wife2b sometimes. However will always speak highly of her and if he participates in any of the buck party antics does so in a respectful fashion.
Then there are the grooms who are the complete utter opposite of this guy. Bleh. They will proposition you without a second thought that they are about to be married. These guys disgust me to not end. They confuse stripper with hooker all the time. Even topless waitresses with "hooker".

LOL! There is always one, isn't there?

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
I don't know if this is common anywhere else, but I always get the "I am pretending I don't speak English" guy. He is usually very intoxicated, has bad hygeine and English is his second language. He uses this to pretend he doesn't understand your "here's my rules" spiel at the beginning of the party and continues on to repeatedly try to grope you, stuff your panties in his pocket, or spill his beer on you, offer you a handful of change for tips (at which point you seriously contemplate kicking him in the groin with your stiletto), or other unexcusable acts until you refuse to dance anywhere near him the rest of the night or have him escorted out.

As usual Paris ur right on the money with that post.

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
This isn't every party... but the Mafia guys. They're's always an interesting bunch with all of them vying for attention. "Oh, you'd do so much better if you were my girl. Why don't you let me take you out. Here's my number, call me!"
Uh, no. If I thought you were as slick as you think you are I'd probably end up dead in a ditch somewhere. I don't think so... pass!

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
^^we used to get a lot of those. they were fun though. lots of cash. didn't have to finagle or play games either.

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
Don't forget the awestruck fan: The guy that falls in love with you then and there, and gives you the hat off his head, the shirt off his back, or the keys to his car.

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
In my area
The douchebag- usually douchebags come in large packs. Dickheads from North Jersey with spiked hair, tan skin and expensive clothes. They are disrespectful and rough (probably from all the steroids)
The Super Jew- Sometimes they are in groups but there is always one that has to comment on how much money we are making each time a tip is thrown. Usually a small pile of dollars. Yeah, I'm fucking rich. More of these have been popping up lately and it's annoying as hell!
The Anti-Stripper guy- you can tell he is grossed out by the games and won't come do anything! That all strippers are dirty look on his face. I'm like "don't worry, I'm not gonna touch you with the goods" Geez, I take way better care of myself, i'm gagging at the site of him. lol

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
LOL pimp C. You know, I used to think that black men were the worst tippers, but young black men are becoming increasingly motivated by hip-hop music/culture to tip extravagantly. It's almost a type of status symbol in that sub-culture. "makin it rain". Five, six years ago, I'd never, ever seen a black guy come up to stage and toss a hundred dollar bills on it. Now, it happens on a regular basis. Is that because I work in Atlanta, or do other dancers see this trend in other parts of the country?

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
happens in Houston, they like to go upstairs & throw money from the balcony onto the stage. Often startling customers by having the money hit them instead.

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
reality shows put jersey boys out there in a bad way ^ one of the stereotypes. They have shown a few on MTV's true life or whatever it's called and they do have the over gelled hair, orange tans, arched eyebrows, expensive clothes, potty mouths, and attitude problems. I'm sure not every jersey boy is like that, but the media is sure making it easy to put that stereotype on the truth map.

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
And from my experience of taking girls to such parties:
The Dressing Room Groupie/Pervert
Wants to get into the room the girls are changing in to talk to the dancers while they're not working. Gets uppity when I won't let him. "But I only want to talk to the girls for a minute..."
The Gynaecologist
Wants to peer between every girls' legs from a range of 1mm.
The Indians
(Or Pakistanis). Actually less trouble than most, but will get absolutely pissed during the course of the evening. And by the end are more interested in dancing with each other than watching the girls.
The Stud
Comes to the party absolutely convinced he is going to pull a dancer. Spends the evening asking the girls questions like "so what do you look for in a man?" And fortunately doesn't realize that they're taking the piss out of him in the changing room.
The Shy Guy
Not been to this sort of do before, and gets embarrassed when the girls dance in front of him. Which of course makes them do it even more.
Phil.
PS: My favorite opening line from the Bouncer Groupie: "you must have the best job in the world".

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
Maybe its because I work a different kind of private party* but all these stereotypes seem too pat to me.
Basically I've noted about as many different types as there are guys in attendence on any given night. Same for the dancers. I do note a bunch of guys, and dancers, who want to hang around the floor manager and chat him up.
Hey Paris, what do you call the catagory of dancers that constantly flirt with the floor manager even when he tells them he's busy [especially if he tells them he's busy]?
[*our private parties usually have around 300 to 600 male guests and between 60 to100 female guests--- we call them all guests, and they all pay the same enterence fee. If our female guests want to sell lap dances and other services while they are there it is their business. We get not dime nada out of it. Entrance fee, bar, VIP room fee... that's it].

I don't know. The biggest private party I've ever been to had like 75 guests, max. Usually all friends of the groom or whomever the party was for. Floor manager at someone' home? Never seen someone that serious about their stripper parties.;)

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
Ummmmmmm.....Don't know if this one was posted, but I know at the last party I did there was this guy who swore I was so into him. I guess he got the idea because I was mostly back and forth dancing on him the entire length of the party. He was like, "You must be really digging me, shorty." I just smiled and giggled. He was the only dude at the party making it rain. Could he have really been that naive?

I hear ya...
but when I give advise to guys [and they ask me ALL the time] about bachelor parties I do suggest to them, if it is a bigger party [like more than a couple dozen guys or so] to have a designated guy who just watches out for everyone [including the entertainment] and keeps things moving. I suggest this should usually be the best man. Than he gets a little treat for having stayed out of the fun and frolic at the very, very, end, if that kind of stuff is going on.
It just helps to have a "facilitator", who isn't drinking, keep the party safe and moving if a bunch of people are getting really in touch with their inner party maniac. :)

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
I never really thought of bachelor parties in those categories...but i guess you guys pretty much hit it on the nose...esp the "I know how this works--Ive date a million strippers" guy.
Oh I know!
What about when organizer tries to negotiate a lower booking price because the party is being held at (insert some big fancy hotel name) penthouse suite. When you say no, he says, "but its really really swank! You should be happy."
Iguess he'd be "the big shot, we party like rock stars and you should be honored" type of customer.
I wanna kick those guys in the teeth.

I hate those guys. I did exactly one party like that (negotiating down because they spent a lot on the hotel, and it was a slow time). Guess what? The guys were cheap asses and I left about 35 minutes instead of my usual hour or whenever the tips stop. Instead of my usual 200 hour fee I walked out with about 100 and no tips. Never again. As unbelievable as that was, I can top that. I got a call to negotiate for an even lower fee because they were poor and lived in a ghetto. I think it was either Robert Taylor Homes or Cabrini Green. Anyone near Chicago knows these are not safe areas and certainly aren't late at night. Yeah right, I'm lowering my rate to go into a bad area. Stripping isn't a charity job. You don't NEED a stripper for a party. I wonder if they got any takers.

lol idk if that was serious or not but the last party i did was for a social club full of black guys and i made about $150 in 45 minutes, very respectful and low contact like they were afraid to touch me, but they were tipping nothing but 20s and 10s

Re: Bachelor party guest stereo types
This thread is hilarious!
I've been to six bachelor parties (including one I threw for my brother). Each of them have had at least two or three of the people described in this thread. Like Golden_Rule said above, it works out well when there is one designated guy running the show. I did that at my brother's party to ensure it went smoothly. I had to kick one guy out because he was groping the two dancers and wouldn't stop. The last thing I wanted was them to be pissed-off.
After seeing the great effect of "The Female Friend" (as Paris put it so well above), I made sure we had two at my bro's party. It took some convincing but they showed up and had a great time. In fact, I do believe that they had more fun than anyone there! They were both topless and dancing with the hired help before the night was over.
Being "The Quiet Admirer" is the way to go. I cant even recall how many times I told the other partygoers "don't be a perv...just act like you've been here before". There's always a few dudes that get really giddy right before the dancers arrive. Some of them weren't even newbies to the bewbies...they just acted like it.
One question for you ladies...
I tipped $50 extra (above the rate) to each girl at the end of the B-party that I arranged. Is that decent or was I being too cheap? The guys were tipping well so it wasn't a make-good, I did it because they were hot, friendly, talented and kept the tempo up. I didn't know the protocol so hopefully they didn't think I was a cheapskate.
