    Smiley Do you make money with a friend, or is it better alone?

    I sometimes work with a g/f and we find men together or alone, which do you find is better for making money

    With her I can sell a show, or we get a group going, but by myself I am more free

    any thoughts?
    Thanks

    For me, always with a hustle buddy, but finding the right chemistry can be difficult.

    When I can find someone that I make good money with... it REALLY works and I make MUCH better money with them.

    But it's pretty rare I find someone I work well with.

    It really depends. My best nights have always been working by myself, but I've definitely had
    some good nights and made some great sales with a partner.

    I'm not real close to any of the girls at work, so I've never had a hustle buddy. IMO though, I think that you could probably make more by yourself but a buddy would make it seem easier or more fun.

    I used to only work alone. In the past year though I've met a few really good friends. One of them is a big time talker (very fast) so we don't really do a lot of dances together because our styles of chatting to customers are so different, however we attract a lot of the same customers. So I like her as a friend but working with her can be difficult because we are sharing the same customers and we rarely hustle together. One of my other really good friends is the total opposite of me but we have a really good synergy and can hustle customers well together. However, since she looks so different from me we don't really have that many customers that we would typically be sharing except the ones that like a lot of variety.

    Either way though, I'd say I make more money when I have friends around - even if we aren't hustling together. I think it's just the psychology that someone has your back if needed.

    Always solo now, but back in the day when I used to work at Spearmint Rhino in LA I used to do lots of doubles where I was really comfortable with my dance friends and there was a big party atmosphere with porn stars, stage shows like girl-on-girl, etc. Now that I'm older my approach/hustle is different, more intimate and personal.

    Reminder Re: Do you make money with a friend, or is it better alone?

    In my experience my then best friend and I used to quietly compete with each other but it was more like encouragement.

    "Okay I have X amount of dollars right now."

    "Damn I need to catch up."

    or

    "I only have X amount of dollars right now."

    "Well go talk to this guy he just bought some dances/has been dancing all night/just hit the cash machine" etc.

    We just worked really well together. I miss those days.

    With groups or two guys a hustle buddy works, but I prefer 1 on 1 with a customer. When there is 2 girls and 1 customer, the custie is always going to like one girl more that the other. And I'll be damned if I'm the second favourite! LOL

    I like a hustle buddy for big groups and doubles, but still made more on my own, if the pairing wasnt perfect.

    Make much more alone but I often work with a buddy. My best friend works at my club and I like hustling with her - the rejection stings a lot less when u r together. It's been hard work getting dances lately at my club and sometimes I feel really shy and need to walk around with her.

    There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    Those are the best ones, I think. The ones who don't really look anything like you... Especially if it's at a club where there's big stage money.

    I like having a hustle buddy, but I find that it is better to work alone most of the time. Its beneficial in groups of three or more, because it can keep the other ones from feeling bored or neglected. I can't recommend it for solo custies, some guys do not like the idea of two girl shows as it is an added expense and you have to pay double at my club. He may also decline your services if he isn't keen on your buddy (or you) and just doesn't wasn't to seem rude by saying he doesn't want a dance from just you or her.

    I'm very shy and a hustle buddy made it easier to approach tables, but I think it is better to work alone. Its also difficult to find a buddy to mesh well with. Your style of lapdances should be pretty in sync, I don't want to be stuck with someone 'dirty' who grinds hardcore, stickshifts, or lets the guy grope all over her. I don't want to double with a complete airdance chick either.

    Hustle styles should be similar. You don't want to hustle with a super quiet girl if you're friendly and outgoing. I don't think its super important that you both look the same, but it is SUPER IMPORTANT that the level of attractiveness is the same or very comparable. You don't want to hustle with someone who is 10+ if you are a 6-7 on the scale, or vice versa. I know most people don't really realize their level of attractiveness, usually under or over-rated, but it really pays to be honest with oneself in these situations. I would try to avoid hustling with girls who are not up to my standards. That sounds snotty and concieted but ah well. My old hustle buddy was often coined the white version of me, especially after my boob job (she had fakes) We made a lot of money with our corny black and white 'barbie' look at my club ! Dang I miss my buddy. Other than her I don't think I will find or have a better hustle buddy.

    I have a hustle buddy some nights and we just act retarded when were together and make a ton! Neither of us get it, but I think it's just that you can tell we're really friends, we're really comfortable with the other and it's their fantasy that two girls that are friends would fondle each other. We have booby fights, do the bump, blow rasberries on everyone in the room and eat fruit off of each other. Can't do any of those alone.

    Solo is best because usually the best spenders are there alone and don't want to be ganged up on by multiple girls at the same time. However, its good to have a few girls that are on your side to grab when you approach a group and they request another lady.

    I personally prefer to work solo being that I have a very unique look to myself ( fetish/tall/goth/pin up style girl) and that being 6 foot 5 in my heels is often intimidating enough without a second counterpart. If it is a large group then sometimes I go up with a second girl just because it does not over consume the client. You really do have to have the right chemistry for it to work.

    Personally I think I would make a great team with Britney Ireland if only she would come to Vegas lol

    I HATE working with another girl. I just can't do it. I'm a solo hustler all the way, and maybe it's because I just haven't ever tried hustling with a girl I REALLY have chemistry with, but whatever it is, if I try to work with another girl, I don't get anywhere and I think it scares a lot of custies off.

    I WILL say though that it's always good to have girls on back up if you find that really big spender who wants to sit his happy ass in VIP for 15 hours, no matter the price, no matter how many girls are back there. It's great to have extra girls to call in that you know, so shit isn't as boring, and you don't have to work as hard. That is the ONLY TIME I have ever wished for a girl partner to work with me. I get so fucking tired in VIP doing dances and talking and talking and talking and I really would love to have some girl I could be like 'hey come back and talk to this dude while I take a break'.

    My problem is too, I think every girl is out to fuck me over and steal my customers (well, not every girl but a lot of them) and I don't trust that a) girls I bring back will actually help me with entertaining the customer and b) they will not try to steal him from me and get him all for themselves. I just thing bitches are scandalous and I don't like sharing customers with them for those reasons.

    I've only ever found one girl I can successfully hustle with. Generally I prefer to travel around the room solo, but when she is working too--watch out! We are unstoppable. While we do have a limited friendship, our relationship is based largely on the fact that WE MAKE MORE TOGETHER. We always alert the other to big spenders, and we have similar body types/personality, so they normally like both of us. Additionally, we run thick as thieves and will viciously guard the bank while the other is on stage. i <3333 her.

    Depends on the situation for me.

    If it's a group, it is much easier to convince 4 guys to buy a bottle and go to VIP when they ALL have someone they like. Trying to upsell VIP to one guy who is in a group of 4 is difficult.

    If a guy is alone, I always work it alone.
