Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
I'm getting eyeglasses today, just because I'm tired of contacts. Are there any dancers here that wear glasses? Does it affect your money negatively or positively? Did you nix them or keep them?
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
Honestly it never really hurt me. I have glasses and contacts and have worn both dancing. The glasses work when I do an innocent schoolgirl routine. Normally in real life I wear my glasses ansd still get hit on often.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
I think it would depend on your look (with the glasses on) as a whole. If you can play it up and look cute or like a sexy librarian or schoolgirl then it would def work.

I don't wear glasses but I know a girl who wears fake ones. she banks either way.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
I always wear my glasses at work, and I make good money with them! I give off the 'I'm smart and innocent but about to unleash my inner slut' vibe and guys go crazy over it. They are constantly complimenting me on the frames and seem to like the fact that they are real and not just for show. Go for it! :)

When glasses look as good on you as they do on Jade up there ^^^, they're definately a good thing in the club.
Personally... I think it seems to depend on how good you look otherwise.
From what customers have told me (I've asked):
A hot girl with glasses is a hot girl with glasses...
A not so attractive girl with glasses is a fugly nerd with glasses...
This isn't counting opinions from customers who like anything in glasses/hate glasses.
From personal experience. If I wear my glasses... makeup, hair, outfits had to be put together well for me to make good money. If I don't wear my glasses... I can really slack off otherwise (no extensions, smeary makeup I've had on all day and the tanktop/panties I wore in) and still make plenty of money.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
I wear glasses all the time, and I made a chunk of money!
I always have the "are those real" line with my glasses, and yes, they're real 'cause I can't barely see.
Remember, you can always use them to be seductive, and you can play with them too.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
I don't myself wear glasses or contacts but there are 2 girls in my club that wear glasses and they do perfectly fine, I think the guys really dig the glasses actually! It especially looks cute when you pair it with an outfit that goes with them like a schoolgirl or secretary, etc...
I've even went and bought a pair of non prescrition ones that look real to go along with some of my outfits or just to give me a different look since I work in a small club and people get tired of the same thing over and over...

OK, 24 hrs 2 valiums and lots of screaming later: The Albuquerque wal mart vision center had lost my rx. I had to haggle back and forth for 3 hours. Finally the fax came through and my glasses are ordered. Should be here any day. Can't wait. I'll post some pics.

This happened to me at Lense Crafters two days ago.
I dealt with every single employee on the floor... who called and politely asked the site where I got my exam to fax over my info (which they then failed to do!)... and finally, I snagged some shy, dopey looking guy from the back who called and just told them to read off the info over the phone before faxing it. He had my contacts in my hands in under 10 minutes.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
it depends on the girl. i need glasses to see (have gotten contacts a few months ago, though). can't hustle if you can't see. but, i couldn't pull off the glasses look. guys either assumed they were fake or they otherwise just didn't look consistent with the rest of my appearance. nerdier looking girls can. if it's a look you pull off, it can help you make money. i suspect tempest is one of the girls who will pull them off marvelously. good luck.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
Seriously it depends on the mood of the crowd.
Sometimes when I wear my glasses I get more date requests but guys spend more. So I bank.
Other times guys look at my like I'm weird. I really have a strong look and when I wear glasses some guys get freaked out.
It just depends some guys think it's sexy and will make the sexy librarian comment. Others will think you're a complete dork that is blind as a bat and wonder why your dancing at all.
That has been my experience.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
i used to wear my glasses at work but got sick of the school teacher, librarian, etc questions that i stopped and played up the barbie image more.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
I get tons of compliments on my glasses! I wish I would have worn them while I was dancing!
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
^^ was thinking of trying them again after an effin hot guy complimented me on them in a nightclub few weeks ago but i can't get into my work personality when i look like my normal self.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
The only way to know for sure if this will work for you is to try it....
There is 1 girl in particular at my club... she looks like total shit with her glasses, but she doesnt make money with them off either... I think you have to have 2 be exceptionally young and beautiful to pull them off.
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
I think contacts are more practical when doing something active, like dancing. Glasses will fly off your head sooner or later, and it did happen to me before I had lasik done. I was blind as a bat in my left eye without any lens correction, so finding my glasses, especially in a dark club was next to impossible. Kind of embarassing crawling on the floor there with a bouncer holding a flashlight...
Re: Men seldom make passes at girls who wear glasses: true or false
+1 on what Paris wrote about not being able to get into a 'work persona' when wearing glasses at the club. I've worn my contacts all but maybe two or three times while in the club and it only made a positive difference once. I think that was because I was already in a silly mood and 'forgot' I was even wearing them. I was genuinely surprised when guys complimented me on them and that light-hearted mood carried through into major bank for that ONE evening. lol
The other two times, I felt awkward because I tend to wear my glasses about 40-50% of the time out of the club and I notice I'm treated more like a 'smart chick' when I wear them and leave the sultry colored lenses at home. So when I wore them to the club those two other times, I felt compelled to be more conservative and shy, and felt silly combining that with the flirtier, witty work persona I tend to have when I wear contacts regularly at the club.
It confused a few of the dancers, too! They almost didn't recognize me because my whole persona had changed because I was in total book nerd mode in both mind, posture, and appearance. Was just too weird and I felt like a wallflower and probably made it easier to be brushed away by guys because of that!
Now, outside of the club, I get hit on a bit MORE with my glasses on because I'm used to wearing them out in public more frequently and I still feel like 'me' both with or without. It's amazing how much one can over-caricaturize themselves in a strip club, albeit unwittingly.
However, I have definitely seen dancers do exceptionally well while wearing glasses 24/7 in the club who effectively carved out and pwned the 'sexy nerd' niche.

I wear glasses everyday but never at work. I think they take away from my eyes which are my best money maker.

This is exactly why I didn't wear them at work, but now I wish I would have at least tried it out once. I thought, they would detract from the big, blue eyes thing, but now they seem to attract more attention.
