    How do you wrap your brain around these situations?

    There are nights at my club where some girls make good money and others make very little. There are also nights where nobody makes money.. and when it seems EVERYONE is making money.

    In the back room when girls are complaining about not making anything and you're already well on your way to a GREAT night, how are do you feel about it? What about when you've made nearly nothing and other girls are counting out earnings and they've obviously done very well?

    For myself, I sometimes feel bad for the girls who haven't made much when I have. it depends on who it is, too. Some of them work so hard!

    When I am the one who hasn't made much, I start to wonder if it's my outfit or my hustle or my makeup that guys are not into. After hustling better, changing outfits, and adjusting makeup to no avail, I usually just decide and accept that it's simply not my night. We all know that everyone has those!

    How do you feel about the above situations?

    I mean I feel bad the other girl didn't make as much but it's not my fault. I do try to be fair when I work. I get the other girl in a show for an extra 20-40. I know they have helped me in tough days so I try to give back. Otherwise I have no control over the guys they get or the amount of tip the guy has.

    If I'm having a bad night it motivates me to change my outfit or go to the gym. When its over by the next day the bad day has to go behind me so I can focus on making money the next shift.

    I feel bad for girls who don't make alotta money to a degreee...a small to non-existant degree, but most of the time I see and hear about that, it's from girls who talk forever. They'll be complaining that they only made $50 the whole shift, but then be so happy they got all their drink tickets (5). Wooohoo...if you don't get your drink tickets, you have to pay $50. I dunno bout them, but I'd rather be getting lapdances instead of drink tickets...or rooms even. So, I basically blame it on them unless I see them actually moving around and working instead of talking forever to people and wondering why they don't make money.

    I have actually confronted a dancer I've known for several years from a different club. I think that she was on this board, for awhile, actually. Anyhow, she kept complaining about how crappy the nights had been...even though they really were probably only that bad for her. I said in a joking, lighthearted tone, "Girl! You been tryin to get those lapdances?!?!" I know damn well she doesn't, cuz I've sat with her and customers before to get my own drink tickets. She'll be halfway done her one drinks while I'm trying to get my third....and she'll still be talking.

    Sometimes girls just have bad luck, don't know how to sell, or aren't the customer's types. Usually they find some regulars that like them tho, at least where I work now. Plus, if I hear some complaining one night, they'll be talking about how great they did another night...so it evens out.

    From what people tell me, I actually think I do good most of the time compared to the girls who aren't constantly in the VIP room for hours on end. I don't feel bad, because I don't see girls hustling around as much as I do. As I stated in another post, sometimes I feel like the only girl quickly working the room...and customers have commented on that, too. I'm not really a "regulars' girl, and I don't feel like sitting with someone for an hour to get 5 drinks tickets and only a 1/2 hour CR. Other times, girls are in the wrong place at the wrong time, and I'm in the right place at the right time....luck. I still don't feel bad, cuz they'll have their lucky nights, too.

    When I don't do well, and it seems as though everyone else is, I don't feel that bad either. There's the luck factor, plus at my current club, I've never done bad for the entire shift EXCEPT for this one time I made $48 and went home early. That was my own fault and I prolly could've done much better had I stayed the whole shift. (Great, I'm superstitious and now I'm prolly going to do bad...ugh).

    I find its better not to pay much attention to other girls complaining about a bad night. Sometimes the ones who complain about not making money have already earned at least $700 (spoiled bitches). Then, what's good to one person is bad to another. I don't care to socialize with those who turn their noses up at $300-$600 for the night because that's more than what some people make in a week on a regular job.

    Also, just because some girls aren't having a good night doesn't always mean that you won't do well. Its often better not to listen to the negative. As I always say, dancing is no different from gambling. You have your good nights and your bad nights. However, I do hate it when rednecks pollute the club. Black, Asian, Latin women, etc. don't do well if rednecks outnumber the real men.

    Sc's are crazy places. Tonight some girls went home with £0 and others were in the CR ALLL FREAKING NIGHT! (we all had to wait at the end of the shift for them to finish).
    One of those girls does not hustle, and she always looks bored. Another is at least 50lb overweight. Yet the so called "fantasy" girls with pefect fake breasts and slim bodies are walking away with nothing.
    What is the secret god damnit! I hustled my butt off speaking to everyone about 3times and got $80,and told to fuck off by one lovely gentleman.

    Oh my god, welcome to my life!!!
    It's become a bit of a joke among the housemoms and floorhosts.....

    Whenever EVERYONE is banking, I make no money.

    Whenever the club is dead, I make a small fortune.

    It's awkward, being the only girl in the champange room on a slow night, but I don't listen to the girls bitch anymore, because I know on the busy nights I will be the only girl leaving negitive.

    I'm more concerned with what my weekly, monthly and annual income is after I pay taxes and how I can better utilize the funds I have to improve my life in the long haul. When you think this way, it seems much less important that Champagne Room Suzy just made $500.

    I don't really pay attention, and we don't tend to talk about earnings. I guess I do OK, I'm usually a pretty consistant earner, and while I'm by no means a top earner, I'm happy with what I make - it's enough to live on, save some and have money to spend, so why worry?

    I'm still quite new, and still shy about hustling, so I guess that's where I miss out.

    I find that I have to distance myself and not get emotionally involved with other dancers. If I do care how their night is I find my money starts to slip. I just go in with the idea that I am working and that's it. I am not there to make friends (however I am friend-LY) I am there to make money.

    I used to feel bad and try to help other girls but that always bit me in the ass. Now I keep my distance. Maybe that sounds harsh but it works for me.

    If I am not making money I take it in stride. Sometimes it just isn't my night to bank. Tomorrow is a brand new day with brand new opportunities.

    This is actually one reason I'm glad i don't really know the girls I work with. I mean, yeah, i hear complaining, but since i don't know them, or really even pay attention to what they are doing during the night, I just don't care.

    Then again, I'm a little evil I guess, cause if I have had what i think of a bad or not so great night (like struggling to make $200), I tend to feel better when I hear that either a lot of other girls had the same issue, or did even worse. It changes my perspective on how I did.

    I don't compare myself to the girls doing rooms all night, cause I'm never going to be one of those girls.

    For some reason, for me, I seem to do really well on nights when other girls are struggling, and vice versa. There is no rhyme or reason to it, it's just the nature of the business. I don't think too much about it honestly.

    It's always the same girls that are bitching and bitching about not making $$ when it's their own fault to begin with. They're not friendly, or personable and always make it seem like everyone owes them something. THOSE are the ones I stray far away from.

    On nights that I don't do so well, I just shut up and make the best of it. On the nights when I'm making a small fortune I have my own little celebration by myself to not rub it in anyone's face. :p
