    Default I need a hustle for this situation.

    Sometimes when the club isn't so busy when I ask a guy for a dance he will as me " Are you making money tonight?", OR "How is your night going?". They aren't just normal conversation starters, it seems my answer is directly related to whether or not they will say yes or no. I have a hard time saying I am having a bad night (even if I am) I guess I don't want them to think I am not busy or maybe it's my pride. I always indicate I am doing well. My question is though, should I say it's bad? Are they specifically asking so they feel like they can help me out if it's bad and I am srewing that up? I have NEVER got a dance from one of these guys, and it happens like with 2-3 guys a week maybe. If I say it's bad , will they pity me? I need money, but that is so weird.

    Also, it seems like these type of guys are dissapointed that I dont have kids, like they want me to be needy. I just can't bring myself to tell them that my fuel pump needs to be replaced, that my housepayment is too much for me and I am relocating, that I am trying to catch up on back taxes, i owe a crapload of medical bills , and I got a DUI that I am paying out the ass for(all true), but none of their business. There are just soooo many more of these types, being that it is around the holidays and usually I don't miss their lack of business. I need a hustle for them.

    Default Re: Help figuring out if this is a backwards hustle.

    Nothing wrong with saying, "It could always be better!"
    "She held me close and whispered in my ear how wonderful I was. Since I'm not wonderful. I was pretty sure this was a trap. So I figured I'd better grope her as much as I could before they sprung the trap. You've got to take what you can get in this life. I read that in a magazine. So I started smearing kisses on her and pawing the front of her dress, trying to get my money's worth before somebody bashed my head in." John Swartzwelder

    I like answering questions with questions, especially if they're rude and/or personal.

    "why do you ask?"

    usually they stammer a bit and give me some version of "dunno, i was just curious i guess."

    at which point I smile and nonchalantly say "oh, i see"...as I'm taking his hand to lead him to the couch dance room. This works for me more often than not.

    I say, "Not bad... I haven't hit my goal yet, but it's been a really fun night!" In other words, I like to give the impression that I could surely use some more money, but that the night has been fun and enjoyable.

    When guys start with this crap, i just try to remove the focus from the money aspect to the fun aspect. i try to make them think about how much fun him and i can have together, not about how i see them as money to help me pay for whatever i happen to need. That seems to make the conversation more fun as well and kinda removes them from that mindset "saving the poor girl." Like if they ask how my night is going, i'll say its great cause i met so many interesting people, and it's been a funfilled night. Everytime they try to talk about money or lack of customers i'll just kinda change the subject and talk about something upbeat. It doesn't work on everyone unfortunately, i think some guys might like whiny or desparate girls .

    if it's dead, i say, "oh it's great, what with the crowd in this club. (while smiling)" usually gets a laugh. i might take it further and say, "gosh, i dont know how you found a seat!" it doesnt answer the question but does let them see i have a great personality and good sense of humor. plus, it takes the focus off of money.

    Love it!

    I think those guys like to be part of the family, because they don't have one of their own. Somehow keep them updated with your life. I don't think you have to sound needy. Its just that maybe the girls they talked to in the past sounded needy. Just update them on things and make them feel part of the club's "family" or whatever it is that you strive to improve within yourself. They probably do like the drama a little bit. There must be something that keeps them coming back and it is probably the personal attention of some sortl

    There is also the type of person who just likes to be miserable and loves to wallow in it. They like bitching and hearing someone agree with them about just how hard life is. They totally catch me off guard because I'm a generally cheery person.

    But, yep, I really think they do want you to have five kids and a no good man who left you a long time ago and you are just struggling to make due.

    I don't really bother with those guys usually because they seem to not be big spenders, unless they're drunk...

    Just turn it around and say it's fine, thanks, how is yours? It's not their business how well you are doing. I don't answer money questions...from anyone.

    There's a girl at my club that thinks that complaining to guys about how badly she's doing will stir them into buying a dance. I've never seen it work and I know she's a low earner. Besides, I wanna give dances to guys that actually want them from me, or else it'll be miserable for both of us. I wouldn't try and guilt 'em into it....unless it was a really slow night lol.

    ^^^Well said.

    Even if I can tell he's fishing to see if i'm making good money or not, I always answer "Really good! I'm having fun tonight!!"... and then... "Are you having a good night?" If it is truly abysmal, I say, "It's not the greatest night, but I can't complain! I'm still having fun!" I think they want you to crack and seem like you really need them. I dont want to give them the power. The unbreakable good attitude kind of takes their power away, and I can bulldoze them into a sale because I control the beat of the conversation. (Keyword: upbeat) I love it.

    Thanks...

    I never complain. If the guys want to hear women whining they can go home. No matter what is going on I put my Stepford Wife smile on my face and chat them up.

    No matter what they ask along these lines, just turn it around on them and say something like, "My night just got better since you walked it!". It's so cheesy they have to laugh and it breaks up teh convo so they don't go back to what they were asking...

    If they ask what's up, I put my hand on their knee and say, "You tell me, sugar"...

    If no one is getting dances, I tell them, "You know what, there's no one in the back, we can get as freaky as we want"!

    Plenty of good advice here, haven't had a customer like this in the last few days, but usually they creep around in Sundays and Mondays so we will see.

    I'm in your boat where i hate admitting it is slow... even when it's totally obvious it is ... if it's not too late, I might say, it's a little slow, but the rush hasn't come in yet. Or I just say I was really busy earlier, so far so good. I don't like looking like I need the money because I don't like bargaining. If guys don't think it's busy or that you're doing good, they're likely to try to get more for the money. Some people want to hear that you're doing good, others may want a sob story, but I don't think a sob story ever plays out well in the long run.
    Next time he asks, tell him it would be better if he gets a dance! (with a smile of course!)

    when a guy asks me how is my night going, I say, "Excellent! I'm in a fabulous mood!" They love it..

    or if he asks me if I'm making $ 2nite I say, "Oh, I don't know I just got here."

    and if that doesn't work cuz it's late late, then I say, "I never count my money til the end of the night" --- They can't say shit!! In fact they'll compliment me on that!

    those r the types of things I usually say, and it seems to dissapoint them that I am doing so well. Maybe, as another poster suggested, they are hoping I am doing bad so they can negotiate.
