So I'm working in a club, worked a day shift, so guys aren't very drunk, and there's almost as many dancers as customers. :P
And people aren't buying private dances, but I try and mingle, talk to some guys for a while, get the scoop, hang out, move on...
Well, some of these guys get jealous when I talk to another guy. How do you deal with this? It's not the big spenders throwing hissy fits, it's the guys just throwing a few bucks up, maybe they buy me a drink, which I'm grateful for and all, but it hurts my feelings that they cop an attitude when I mingle. It's my job!
They are generally younger (under 40) blue-collar white guys and usually have something shitty to say about the other guy I was talking to. I talk to a Mexican guy, and get a comment about "getting it on" with a "beaner." I talk to an older guy and he gracefully lets me move on to another guy who says, "well, don't you got a sugar daddy over there?" Meanwhile, "sugar daddy" has telling "nigger" jokes in spite of the fact there is a black guy at the next table. Damn, this job is tough!
In general, seems like the older guys usually understand that everything has its time and place and I'm here to flirt and not to get married and have their babies... how do you gently clue in the younger ones? I never did figure that one out.
It seems like the art is finding the guys that will spend some money and working with them, and stay away from the ones that give you grief? But damn, if all the white guys get pissed off every time I talk to a man of color, that's just gonna be too much for me. grr.
I think part of this is an issue of the club I'm working... but damn, you sure can't please everyone, can you.
