Turn an attitude problem into hustling technique?
The club I've worked at for ages has turned into a dive (so sad). All of the girls that have been there for awhile and stick to the rules are having a hard time of it. We have a trillion foreign girls doing almost anything to get a dance. I've been struggling really hard to make even a basic wage amount of money.
Last night I had a lightbulb moment and realised what my problem may be apart from not being a desperate skank. You see earlier yesterday I was saying to my daughter how I would do anything for anyone but after being used by too many people I won't jump through hoops and hand things to them on a platter without making them put some work into the arrangement also. ( I guess I want them to prove themselves "worthy" to some extent) I've realised that I have this attitude in the club also and is probably why I can't make a dollar in the current climate. Is there any way I can turn my "I'm not going to grovel or nag like your mother, so that I can get naked and make you feel like the hottest man in the universe" attitude into a money maker?
Or is it a case of having to join the nagging sluts or get out?

You are not them... that's the biggest key. You create your own supply and demand. There's no reason to grovel at all - as you said. I think part of the key to this is making it look like you are always busy so the customers want you... creating your own demand.

Honestly, I think the reason I bank constantly in my dive is because I do have this attitude.
It has to be subtle. You wouldn't walk around the club like "Fuck y'all and your money". It has to be more of an, "Oh, you don't want a dance? Okay. I know I'll walk out of here with good money, so I'm fine without yours." (though you obviously wouldn't say that to them)
I find this attitude is very hard to project unless you don't actually need their money to pay your bills. Like, I really don't have to dance for any of these guys...because even if I make $5, I'll be fine. And since I project this, it seems to draw customers to me. Especially big spenders who don't want to spend their time with 'desperate' strippers.
If you do really need the money you're making, it could be a tricky note for you to hit. Desperation seems to leak from strippers' pores: they can't control it. And customers can smell it a mile away. (I'm not calling you desperate...desperate on a continuum can mean anything from "I'll fuck you for $2" to a more general "I need to pay rent this month")

Being humble, friendly, and polite with sexiness works for me. I do what I have to do within my boundaries to make money. I try to adapt to my environment and if I feel like I can't make money there b/c it's crapping my style, I look for another club. Leaving a positive impression is important even if the guy don't get a dance from you that day for whatever reasons, like thinking he'll get more mileage with another girl, he might remember you. I get these kind of customers sometime, but they come back later and ask me for a dance and are adequately polite. I don't like pushy customers that want everything off the bat, my dances get better with time. but I can adapt if it's called for but this stresses me out a lot so I try to avoid this situation.

If that's the way you feel, that's the way you feel. I don't mind pushing or even appear to be begging a guy for a dance because I know I don't really want them I just want their money. And I know I don't need it from them because there will be other men later, but I would
like to get some money from them right now. I'm playing them and they just don't realize this. Some girls at my club will say "I won't beg a man for a dance" but this doesnt bother me because I know it's just a hustling technique.
But I won't take my clothes off onstage unless there is a dollar on it. I don't care if it's packed or managents going to yell at me, I just won't get naked for free. We all have standards, we can't change that and it's probably for good reason.

My personal opinion and experience is that the bratty, spoiled brat sugar baby hustle works well on rich guys, if you're young and very well groomed.
Re: Turn an attitude problem into hustling technique?
Never give up this attitude. Tell them you're worth it and mean it.
If a guys asks "Can I touch your boobs?" I say no.
If a guy says "Well so and so will do blah for this (lower) price." I just question the value of their bluff. Because that's what it is. A bluff.
"Oh you're broke I see. What do you want me to do about it?"
I don't feel bad making this comment because he just informed me he badly needed a discount.

Depending on the circumstances I would. ::)
