Re: Approaching customers
i prefer to go to people either alone or in pairs although i do admit if i guys is alone i tend to wait for positive signs that he's interested in me before i approach ie: watches me walk past and is still looking when i turn back, smiles at me when i look over, watches me on stage and knocks back other dancers while he's watching me.
i know it's an easy sale when these things happen. sometimes guys by themselves can be creepy or realy dull so i tend to avoid them. if you want to get the girls over, display friendly body language, look like you're having a good time and make eye contact with the ones you want. they'll come to you.
Re: Approaching customers
Give me a guy by himself any day! Guys are jerks when they're with their friends. I almost never approach a group of guys if there's a guy by himself I can talk to.
Re: Approaching customers
I sell groups first. But I like to play with men's sense of competition. Oh HE got a dance, you want one too, right? I talk to men who are alone only he they have glasses, usually. It creates a bond since I wear them and makes him not feel alone.

You're kidding, right?
Re: Approaching customers
? It's easier to sell dances to men in glasses when you wear them yourself. They're always so happy a pretty girl wears them to. So they're always my first target.
Re: Approaching customers
Did you try tipping the girls on stage? That will get a response out of girls to come join you. Sometimes I think a man sitting alone girls get the feeling that he's either waiting for someone or is there to "chill out alone" so that could be why you weren't approached. Many times when I've approached a man who's there alone doesn't want to be bothered, he's there to watch the show for free or is there because he wants to get away from whatever he was doing that was bothering him. One night I approached a man that was sitting alone at the bar and he came to the club because he was in a really bad mood and didn't want to talk to anyone or be bothered, basically wanted to see a bunch of naked women for free, but not be bothered by anyone, of course he was sitting very close to the stage! *rolls eyes* Sorry, not meaning to get off track here and rant, try going up to the stage, tip the girl of your choice very well, $1 doesn't get much attention on a busy night, $10-$20 will get her there immediately and see how it is then. Different clubs are different, maybe the 2nd club you went to the girls make a lot more money or don't have to approach customers as much as they do in the first one, or maybe in the 2nd club the girls have all regulars, who knows. Try some of these tips that we gave you and see if it makes a difference.
Re: Approaching customers
Can't argue with success. If it works, it works.
But what makes me feel not alone is the pretty girl, not the glasses.
Re: Approaching customers
There could be any number of reasons why you saw the difference that you did. Different clubs have different vibes to them and how a dancer makes her money and how much of it she gets to keep can often make the difference.

Leogirl is right on here. While its nice to be aproached, if you feel you're being ignored, or mistakenly labeled as a gawker, take the initative and prove otherwise. Once you've demonstated that you came to play ball, you'll have no trouble getting gals to approach.
Re: Approaching customers
I agree with leogirl and doc. If a guy were to walk up and tip me a few Jacksons on stage I would be all over him when I got off. Heck, on a slow night or lousy tip night even a few fives would do.
Re: Approaching customers
For me, it was just different from what I was used to at the previous club, with the women approaching and asking for dances on a consistent basis. This place is more of a relaxed atmosphere, which I really enjoyed. I did tip a couple of women while they were onstage, only $2 a piece. However, I did tip another lady that I was very interested in $10 while she was on stage. It was pretty funny too, because when she realized it was a $10, she was very surprised lol
I didn't get a chance to see if I could get dances from her later because I ended up seeing one of the girls from the previous club I used to attend and got dances from her most of the night.
All I can say is I had a great time and spent around $600 over a 7 hour period, which isn't too bad :)
Yeah, I was just curious about whether or not being by myself had any reason with women not approaching me most of the night. From what I've read, it just mainly depends on the dancer :) Mainly, if I'm interested in a girl, I'll usually tip them on stage or smile at them while they walk by, which didn't work to well, cause most would walk right past me without even looking at me lol Oh well ;)

I have a huge crush on Tina Fey, w00t!
Re: Approaching customers
I wear glasses too. I have long red hair and freckles on the bridge of my nose, and I don't wear much makeup, so I fake an Irish accent and have the girl next door schtick going on.
Re: Approaching customers
I agree with doc and leogirl. Its definetly dependent on the club and its particular vibe.
There are two clubs I go to regularly. At the first club its the normal procedure for dancers to approach customers; ask if they can sit down and then chat you up for some dances. This is espcially true if you're alone; as long as your not a known gawker. The last time I was there the dancer I came to see had the oppurtunity to do some dances for another guy. That was fine for me since I knew she needed to make more money than I could afford to spend. I sat at the bar, watched the game, and did some people watching as well. In the twenty or thirty minutes that she was gone I was approached by seven different dancers.
The second club is almost the exact opposite. Maybe its because the second club has more younger dancers but for whatever reason they just don't have much "hustle". At this club if you're alone and want attention usually you've got to do some work. The easiest and most successfull way is stage tipping; like others here have already said. Most of the clubs in the area, including this one, have mulitple stages so its usually not hard to get a dancer's attention. Another method I've tried is making good eye contact with the dancer as she walks by. Eye contact and a nice smile works sometimes.
Re: Approaching customers
I much prefer guys sitting by themselves and will always approach them before guys in groups. They are much easier to sell, and most guys don't come in by themselves to sit and look (although some do). Also guys in groups don't seem to get champange rooms as often becuause they don't want to leave their buddy alone.
I always approach guys at both clubs I work at, and almost never get asked. I would love to work at these clubs where girls don't hustle--most of us dancers on here would clean the place up.
Re: Approaching customers
i prefer guys sitting alone. my least favorite choice is 2 guys. i'd rather sit with a group than with 2... unless there's another dancer who can sit with the other one.
