Now I know what being hustled feels like
Last night me and my SD went to a stripclub and this girl comes and tries to hustle us. I felt really awkward and hustled.. And it made me think no wonder guys act like that.. It was really obnoxious.. She was a sweet girl it was just so weird she kept telling me how pretty I was and it just made me feel really weird. Do you guys have experiences like that?
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I haven't been back to a regular SC since I started dancing - just gay SCs cuz there's really no hustle being directed at the girls. I just think about the first time I went to a SC as a customer and it was all so new and exciting to me, and this really hot girl hustled me and the guy I was with, and I totally fell for everything... nowadays, I know exactly what's going on and I just don't think I would have fun... I would just be sitting there knowing exactly what tactics she's using, but I wouldn't want to make things awkward by saying "yeah, I'm a dancer too." I've gotten a lot of female customers who have told me they used to be dancers, and it honestly threw me off because I'm like 'ok, well, now what am I supposed to do?' It's like when a customer tells you "Oh, I'm in sales, I know how this all works" and you suddenly feel like everything you're doing is silly and played out in their eyes. I don't want to give that feeling to anyone else, but I don't want to act naive either... I feel like I would just be bored and feel awkward, so I refrain from going.

If the girl is a good hustler, it's harder to tell you're being hustled, and you'll still be sold. Same as how salespeople are still sold stuff all the time.
But at this point, when I go with my husband, I am normally so thankful for the ONE girl who comes to talk to us, that I'll get a dance regardless how sucky or phenomenal her hustle is.
It also has made me a better salesperson, because I know what it's like from the other side.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I really hate that over the top phony ass kissing hustle..... I can't do it, never could..... I would be really put off by a dancer that tried to run that game on me....
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
That's exactly how I felt it was so phony.. I just wanted her to go away lol
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I'm a sucker. I'm pretty fiercely bisexual and have insane Ugly-Duckling Syndrome so when a hot girl comes up to me, half-dressed and even just tells me I'm wearing a nice outfit, I all but hand her my wallet. The harder she flirts with me, the faster I spend. I just eat it up. Lol!
Working in Guam, a lot of my hustle was "hostessing", which is just sitting around socializing. I had lots of female custies who would just buy drinks to hang out. Many of them were Military women, as well so I was genuinely intrigued by them and would ask them a lot about themselves. Giving women attention was really satisfying for me so it was easy to "hustle" them with compliments and flirtation.
I also enjoy being a custy, sometimes. I like the attention it gives and I like seeing women happy when I pay them for said attention. I agree that a good hustle will leave you completely unaware that it was ever taking place but sometimes I think part of the entertainment value of a strip club is the over-the-top nature of it. When girls literally squeal at me and jump into my lap, that's a hustle but its also a lot of fun. That's what I'm there for, anyway. To relax, suspend my disbelief and have fun.

Ha ha! I totally got hustled by a girl I work with! She wanted to work with me all the time and when we did she got my number and invited me to do things with her, but then the next day she would have some excuse about why she didn't call. Eventually I asked for her number and she would say "later, after work" and then avoid me, or change the subject. That girl just wanted to horn in on my rooms. She was a hustling pro!
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I had the best experience being hustled at a gown club in the suburbs of my city once. We had a fabulous time and I bought her drinks, laughed, tipped her on stage, the whole experience. When she asked if I wanted a dance I said yes!..... and it was the worst LD I've ever had in my life :/
I don't mind it in the strip club if I'm a customer, but I try to look like shit if I'm going to buy makeup/ a vacuum/car shopping/ clothing shopping cause I hate it a shopping setting.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I don't like hanging out at the strip club I work at let alone go to one on my off time LOL.

Every dancer should be a customer at LEAST once and experience what a customer experiences as the OP did...

I've been dancing 12 years, I've experienced it.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I was hustled recently at a store that sells exotic dancewear. The two sales ladies were ex-strippers and one just trying to be helpful the other a full on hustler. I couldn't fucking get out of the store fast enough! They kept trying to sell me stuff that I would plainly call "ugly" and I was firm when I said I didn't need help and I didn't want X, Y, OR Z.
"I don't wear legwarmers, I'm looking for stockings."
"EVERYONE wears legwarmers. Look we have purple and neon green."
She even went so far to tell me I'm not going to last in the business if I didn't buy X, Y and Z. Instead of tanning, doing my nails or buying jewlery I needed to wear X, Y AND Z instead of whatever "trashy lingerie" I found at a regular store. WAY TO MAKE THE SELL. Insulting the customer! Great new technique.
Went back once more to get a garter (and ended up with a pretty red dress too) and I was literally holding out my credit card for 4 minutes while a line formed behind me 'cause this bitch wouldn't fucking shut up! I DON'T WANT A NEON GREEN GARTER I DON'T WEAR NEON GREEN. Now I have to drive an extra 45 minutes out of my way to go to the only other store in the area. Went into work the next 2week thinking THAT is what I don't want my hustle to be. One difference is listening to the customer, another is to not insult them. I wonder how many patrons would be regulars if they didn't get a bad hustle like this.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I think that you notice hustle a lot more when it's your job to hustle.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
If she kept telling you how pretty you were, it could be that there is a lot of advice going around about if a couple comes in, cater to the girl. And the most common way I see that done is telling her she is pretty 1,000 times or that she should dance. The more they say that you are pretty, the less bisexual I notice they are in real life. It's more about the compliments to suck up in my opinion. If they are really bi or hustling hard, they feel you up.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I agree!!! I learned the most from this book called Dance World How to Make it Yours by Carmen Monique!
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I agree. I had a couple of customers which seemed to have that as their only form of entertainment which as much as I liked to show off I had a sugardaddy, I was very over it.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
I could see that. Yeah, it's common everywhere to avoid couples. I hate when guys say "you're a good sales person," when they don't buy anything.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
Yeah, in nice restaurants, they compliment your choice rather than insult it. sheesh.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
Yes. I like that money can't buy happiness but money can't buy shit. That is an awesome quote!!!! If you can't get love, get money!
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
True, but it's tough to get the same experience because dancers avoid girls/couples a good majority of the time and you will never experience getting hustled as hard as an old fat white man gets hustled. lol
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
Yeah girls ask to work with me without even giving me their number! I had to tell them, "we are not girls. I don't even know your real name! We hav never hung out. No!" some girl tried to get in on my room because the receipt to the credit card fell out of the atm and said he had $80,000.
Re: Now I know what being hustled feels like
A good hustle is like a good boob job: You can't tell it's fake.
