Re: Obnoxious top earners
i think asking how much someone made or boasting about it is rude. i have friends who ask me almost every night and every night i give them a very vague "i did good/not as well as i hoped" kind of answer. i totally understand where the OP is coming from. i used to have a friend that would ask how i did and then tell me exactly how she did. and she would also throw near tantrums if she felt i was doing better than her...if i'm not doing well and i see a top earner hit her stride i do try and learn but i would never ask her specifically how much she makes a night or even someone who isn't doing well at all. it's none of my business and it's fucking tacky.

haha me too!!! i did that today...i usually throw my stage money in my dancer's bag and don't worry about it til i get home but tonight i had to get into it because i didn't want to HAVE to break larger bills...(i didn't do that great ladies for a saturday though good for working 4hours...anyways)...
but my point is that i count my money at the end of my shift in the smoke room if no one is there...if there is someone in there i will just wait til i get home or until it's free depending on how lond the check out line is.
Re: Obnoxious top earners
Maybe they aren't trying to be bitchy. Maybe they are trying to be motivating and telling you that the potential to make 5 times what your making is there, and if they are all doing it so can you. One club I worked in the housemom announced girls who made big money, not by name, but she'd say "3 girls made $4,000 tonight, and 4 others made $2500". She said if we all knew that kind of money was being made we'd try harder to make it for ourselves. You wouldn't have been hired if the manager didn't think you were as attractive as all the other girls. In the past I've gotten mad at girls who tried to tell me how to make more money because I felt like they were insulting me, but once I swallowed my pride and listened to them I started making tons more money. I've been on the other side of it too, when I hear a totally beautiful girl say she hasn't made more than $300 since she started I always speak up and say there's no reason she should ever leave with less than $1000, or $1500, or whatever I would give her if I were a lonely guy. I never say it to be rude, I just want these girls to know that they deserve more and shouldn't settle. Maybe the next time one of the girls tells you she made a lot you can ask her what she's doing that you aren't. There is enough money in these clubs for everyone to walk out flush every night. Sometimes you just have to learn to tweak your routine to fit that particular club. Certain customers gravitate to certain clubs because they prefer the way things work in those clubs. If you learn how work each club to your advantage then you can maximize your potential.

seriously. maybe if you had a more positive outlook on it you would make more money?
this reminds me of the customers who are all "you are too good/smart/pretty/etc to be here". if you think there is shame in entertaining and showing your boobs and vagina for money, then dont do it. bottom line.
and for the record, i am a top earner in SC and i am also a college grad who graduated with a solid gpa. i take as much pride in being a top earner at the strip club as i do in the fact that i have a degree in math. just because one of them is white collar and one of them is naked collar doesnt mean one is better than the other . maybe by society's standards... but society can bite me. i aint want shit to do with them anyway.
Totally. I have been a dancer for a long time and I have become very good at it. I went to college and now I have my own business. I'm not ashamed to be a dancer, and I've never thought of myself as someone who can't do anything else in life because I'm "just a stripper". I learned to become a high earner because I like to be the best. I doubt any of the dancers who work in clubs would let their friends or anyone else outside the club tell them that their lives amount to nothing because they are nothing but a stripper with no future, so why do we say it about ourselves and our coworkers? It simply isn't true. I know I'm beautiful and have a great personality, so I know men will want to pay for my companionship and seduction. I also know that is only one facet of me. I am also smart, organized, and ambitious. I don't have to choose which one I want to be, I can be the best at everything if I'm willing to work hard. It's ridiculous to say that because I'm good at my job I have no future anywhere else, or that I must be willing to do more than other girls. Those comments aren't really about high earners, or even strippers in general, they are about the girls making the comments. They are saying that they are too lazy to figure out how to be the best so they'd rather make up an excuse about why they can't be better at their job so they don't have to try to be successful, or feel bad about being unsuccessful. I'm sorry for the girls who have such little self esteem that they feel their choices are forced on them, but I don't want them speaking for me. I'm proud of my choices. My choices make me feel free and independent.
