    It's a schtick to have in your trick bag, just like any other schtick. If you're a decent actress can pull off many different types of hustles--ditz included. I do recommend it for certain crowds. I LOVE using it in groups where most of the guys think I'm just a drunk bimbo but I start giving one guy a sideways glance and he figures out I'm taking the piss at all his friends. That guy always ended up treating me well

    The guys who bought dances prolly hoped they could trick you into giving them a hand job, which, for all we know you probably did.
    Yikes...where did that come from?

    i'm gonna state the obvious, we should be able to say whatever we goddam need to to get our money, and not worry about whether we're crossing some fine "dumb whore" line. to a lot of people, stripper = dumb whore regardless of what we do or say or how smart we act/think we are.

    QFT! I don't get how 'Denver is in CA' makes one a whore? Most of the extras girls I've known are fairly smart and classy actually. It's confusing, but true.

    One of Robert Green's 48 Laws of Power is to never appear smarter than your mark. If you can't deign to "dumb" yourself down in situations where it will put green in your pocket, maybe it's not because you're so incredibly, irrepresively intelligent; Maybe it's because you're not a good actor.

    totally agree, you should def add this to your bag of tricks, you don't have to do it all the time, but as mentioned before there's a type of guy that will give you money all night long if you're feeding him the OMG you're sooo smart BS. And btw its stupid to miss out on easy money by not getting off your smarty pants highhorse
    These days I like to count my money. I like to wash it delicately and iron it. Sometimes I dry it with some bounty to make it all nice and cuddly. I love my money... did I say that out loud?

    I never had to PRETEND to be stupid...sometimes stupid stuff just falls out of my mouth.

    I was one of those girls that would lose money when I got into genuine conversations. Every now and then a big money guy would love it, even if we were actually arguing (not fighting, but arguing ideology or something like that) but most places I worked were designed to be pretty light-hearted and escapist. So it wasn't so much about being stupid as about keeping it light. The fact that I read a lot wasn't relevant to keeping it light.

    Plus, when I'd work night shift, a lot of them would be drinking. Not conducive to super smarts, although if two people are the exact same amount of drunk I think they're likely to see genius in each other whether it's there or not!

    I perform an act in which I have an audience member read stupid customer comments off of cards and I respond to them, and the last one is always the customer saying, "You seem too intelligent to be here," and me saying, "You don't." I'm capable of respecting most customers, evenif they're not at their best, but I don't think that ("You seem too intelligent to be here") is a compliment! I also hate it when they say, "You don't seem like the other girls, you seem like you don't belong here" in a way that's insulting to the other dancers and think that I'm dumb enough to see an insult to everyone but me as a compliment to me. It's just expressing a low opinion of strippers in general!

    Re: your original post... thanks for editing it, I guess... it was really uncalled for, and kind of a cunt thing to say. X) I don't really see where playing dumb = I give hand jobs, thanks.


    At any rate. I've met plenty of girls who ARE that dumb (and not all of them are dancers)... I work with at least three or four I can name off the top of my head. Due to that and the fact that most men equate stripper with stupid, so it doesn't seem that over the top to me. I've heard plenty worse in my day.

    lol, maybe they think your drunk, so they want to get a dance from a girl that has no control over whats happening. hahaha, i wish i could try to act stupid, but ive gotten too many dances by acting smart. so, i guess when that phases out, i will try the stupid thing.

    Hehe!!! This made my day!!!

    I mostly stay out of HH now that I'm retired (yay!!) but the title caught my eye.

    I seriously made 2-3x as much money "playing dumb" and acting "slutty" then I did acting like a stripper version of myself.

    here's a typical conversation: You may think this is overdoing it, but it WORKS!!!!

    *twirl hair as you say this* Hi, I'm Honey, wanna let a sexy girl keep you company? *Giggle, pout*
    Sure, I'm Dean
    awww, thanks Dean, you're Sooo sweet!!! *grin* And sexy too! *giggle*
    just like me! So where are you from?
    portland
    oh.... isn't it cold there!!! Too bad you don't have me to keep you warm!
    I bet you'd keep me very warm.
    oh I would! I bet you'd like it, you naughty boy! Aren't you a bad bad boy? I just love bad boys, they make me so horny. I'm a very very very bad girl. *tiny pout* *sexiest voice* *sexy half shut eyes* Do bad girls make you horny?
    yes.
    I bet naked bad girls make you even .... Hornier. Can I get naked for you?
    yes
    *dance, and at the end, when doing your sexiest move*
    Dean you are so naughty *sex kitten voice* And you're making me want to be naughty too..... Will you come be naughty with me in a private room? If you're really bad, I might even spank you! *giggle* *pout*

    he might say ok, but if he doesn't, make a pouty face, say ohhhhkay, can't I at least do another dance for you, I'm just getting warmed up?

    I'm going to try to figure out the webcam, I think this would be 100x more helpful with a deminstration..... but no promises!

    that's a great video lola, thanks for posting it.

    i've always had good results by playing stupid...and once you've got them, being smart but ditzy is good too. like what britneyireland described. i think they don't see you smart so much as someone who's been around guys like them, and therefore you seem to have the stamp of approval of guys like them. i like doctors. ooooh baby, watch out. i might give you a myocardial infarction.

    got a hard time dumbing down though. haven't been able to at all my last few shifts. and that hurt my money something awful.

    Don't know why, but on those weird nights it seems to sell dances and private rooms left and right.

    example:
    [me - where are you from?
    customer - Denver
    me - OH MY GOSH! California is sooo pretty! Do you live by the ocean!?]
    Things like that seem to get me a dance 90% of the time... and half of that..., the CUSTOMER will ask ME for the dance.


    Does this work for anyone else?
    Hmmm I can see where guys wouldn't want a girl whose intelligence is intimidating to him, and I've seen the ditzy party girl persona work well, but I never heard of a customer actually LIKING the fact that a girl doesn't know basic geography. That's really cool that it got you the dance though!

    I've definitely pretended to be less smart than I was at times, but then other times when I'm talking to math/engineering grad students, they appreciate the fact that I hold a math degree. For example, one time a guy asked me a simple calculus question...it was something like "what is the derivative of 3X squared"...at first I gave an obviously wrong answer like "-6.385" just to be funny/lightly sarcastic, smiled coyly, then quickly told him the right answer and he commented that I was the first girl he met in a strip club that actually knew how to do derivatives. So for that guy, it helped that I acted smart. I guess it all comes down to judging each customer individually?...for example, a fellow math student who is looking for someone "real" to talk to and get a dance with. But I can see how some other customers would prefer that a girl isn't acting all know-it-all or supersmart.
