    Default I am a newbie to the SC! any rules about tipping, help??!

    In my first post I explained I am very new to the SC scene. I have been only 5 times..6 times this Friday!! Friday can not come soon enough, lol.

    Anyways, since I am a newbie is there any rules or specific ettiquette when tipping at the stage? like a certain dollar amount for each song in the set? or more dollars when the dancers starts to undress?

    if a dancer spends time with you say longer than 15 minutes and it appears she is geninuely enjoying the conversation without asking for a dance more than once (or maybe not asking for a dance at all) do I tip her, how much is reccommeneded?

    what are the tipping rules for table dances and lap dances??

    All advice is greatly appreciated. Sorry if this question is weird but Please Go easy on me I am totally new to the SC. I am there to have fun but i know the dancers are there because it is their job, so I want to be informed about tipping. thanks!

    If you are sitting at the stage you should be tipping the dancer at least once during every song. How much is really up to you. I put up three or four bucks each time a girl comes around but even a dollar per song is OK if that's what fit's your budget. There is no "rule" about how much it should be. If a dancer doesn't accept whatever amount you put on the tip rail graciously that's her problem...it's rare in my experience. The vast majority of ladies are happy that you are tipping them. In my opinion, if you are sitting at the stage you should tip every girl up there, not just the one you went to see.

    If she is sitting with you she is trying to sell you a dance. She may be bad at it if she's been there that long and hasn't asked yet but, trust me, she's not sitting there for the fun of it. If you are interested in buying a dance from her you could help her along and do the asking. If you are not interested in the dance it's really not fair to let her sit and talk for free. Now, my move in a case like this is to politely get rid of the girl. I don't tip for conversation-I only talk with dancers that I am going to buy dances from. That's just me, if you are enjoying the conversation you should tip her-perhaps the price of a dance or two depending on how long she sits with you. Keep in mind of course that once you start tipping her for just sitting and talking she is going to hang around until you stop!

    There are no rules. You pay the asking price for the dance. If you want to tip above the dance price that's your business of course. How much? If it was me I might tip ten bucks if I had bought two or three dances. As a rule I buy dances in large blocks or in time increments. Since I drop $200-$300 I don't tip on top of that. All tipping is optional, not required. It will always be appreciated but it should never be made to feel like an obligation.

    That's always rule #1. It is a job and you should never assume that a dancer is spending time with you just for fun. That means buying dances, tipping at the stage, paying for table time or any combination of these three activities. Also, remember that no matter how much you spend the lady has to keep working the room for other customers during her shift in order to have a profitable night.

    When I go into my local SC I tip the bartender, waitress, the cook, all the dancers I go up to see on stage, dancers at my table and the dancers in the VIP area. Life is good.

    Tipping for time, if you like the girl, is always appreciated. I have received from $20 to $1600 for this. It really depends on your budget and how much time she's hung out with you. If you don't think she's your style, please- SPEAK UP! Girls hate having their time wasted and appreciate guys who are upfront. A simple, polite "Thanks for stopping by, but I'm not ready yet" combined with a small tip is usually enough for a girl to get the hint.

    Tipping for table and lap dances again, depends on you. I always adhered to the restaurant standard of 20%, but if a dance is $20 - $40 then $5 is usually adequate, $40 - $90 then $10 is normally acceptable. Any 3 for $100s or things of the like, an extra $20 is always appreciated if you sincerely enjoyed the dance. Again, these are my figures from my personal experience.

    As far as stage, I went by this:

    (priority indicated by number, 1 being lowest 10 being highest)
    $1 per song = I like you ( 5 )
    $2 per song = I really like you ( 7 )
    $5 = Please stop by ( 10 )

    What I mean by the scale is this. For example: I have four men come up to my stage, let's say on the last song. One gives me $1, one gives me $2, one gives me $3 then final gives me $5. While I appreciate all of the tips, I would go see the man who tipped $5 first, and then work my way down in descending order. If you see a girl you like, go up to the stage and give her five bucks. Ones work better because they're easier to spot as more. Remember, the money you spend is interpreted directly in relation to your interest level!

    I hope this is comprehensive enough, and if you have any other questions- don't be shy!

    I work in France, and while it's customary to tip in a bar or a restaurant, it's widely forgotten about in the club. I very rarely get tips without reminding my customer that it's allowed, and most of the girls don't even speak up. We only keep 30% of the price of a dance, so tips are hugely appreciated and so much more so when given without a prompt.
    I have worked in clubs where tipping was prohibited though, so it's best to ask someone at the beginning if it's allowed.

    The more you tip, the better.

    Tipping after getting dances is always nice. At my club, guys normally tip $3-$5 per song, more if they really want too. I've recieved some very nice tips before, and also been ripped off.

    Tipping the waitresses and bartenders is also appreciated. I work in a juice bar with bottomless beverages, and $2 per drink is what I see guys normally giving the waitresses and bartenders.

    On stage, if you are at the tip rail, a minimum of a dollar a song is normal. Some guys will ONLY tip a dollar for an entire stage set, and they don't get much attention at all. The more you tip a girl on stage, the more attention you'll probably receive.

    Tipping for time spent talking is always appreciated. If you like the girl, but don't want a dance right away, tip her and tell her "thanks for your time, I really appreciate it, but I'm not interested in a dance right now".

    I hope you enjoy your visits to the strip clubs!

    If you're not enjoying your time with a particular dancer, no amount of [additional] tipping is going to improve the situation. Likewise, if you're really enjoying your time; tip extra!

    Put all your money in an envelope and mail it to the club. This will simplify things.

    I tell a girl straight up I'm not interested right now, before sits down, if I am not interested in her.. stuff like maybe next time, or not right now etc.. works well, what ever you do don't tell her why you are not interested in her...that's just plain rude!

    If a girl I like stops buy, I usually let her sit down and talk for a minute or two, than say lets go for a dance.. why waist her time if that's all you want to do.

    If I am not in the mood to dance, I buy her a drink, and give her a tip, sometimes it's nice to have conversation.. don't ever think she is really into you.. she is getting paid rember!

    As bar as the waitress I always get my own drinks from the bar, I don't tip then is that wrong?

    Tips for dances wait for a girl to ask you, you can tip here on stage first, or smile at her nothing more, don't ask a girl for a dance, they will usaully not be as good of a dance. If a girl you tipped or smiled at on stage comes, to you she knows you are willing to pay possibly tip her and will give you a better dance.

    Go for one or two songs max with a new girl, if she gives a good dance tip her if the dance cost 25.00 then tip her 5 if it cost 50.00 tip her 10, if it cost 100 tip her 25.

    Now let her go back on stage or dance with some other gents, estimate how long of dance you would like, say 30 min. or 4 songs, and wait 30 min. before clsoing go back to the girl ask for another dance, she will have had quite a few joints or drinks by know and will be a little tired less likely wanting to go after more customers, and therefore willing to keep you happy, if you want a little more when she asks you if you want another dance hesitate, then say yes, sometimes that works and they will try harder. At the end of the dances Tip well, and ask her when she is on shift next, next time you come hopefully she will remember you somewhat and maybe get a little more intimate .

    Shower before you go, wear clean clothes, a hint of colone on your neck, not enough to overwhelm, just enough that if she leans in she will notice it, bursh your teethe.

    Be nice to them and they will be nice to you, hands to your self, lips closed, don't stare at her, but don't avoid eye contact altogether, smile when she does something you like rather then tell her, don't talk dirty to her unless she starts it. Let her make the first move, if she wants you or allows you to touch her she will tell you to, or grab your hands, don't force anything. Never ask if you can stick it in her, or kiss her etc..


    Go on days when they tend to be slow like Sundays for example, they will be more willig to keep the only customers they have!

    I have had great success following these simple rules.

    at the stage people say it's $1 per song but I would feel like a cheapass if I did that


    other than that tipping is up to you, you can tip it all, or nothing. as long as you are getting dances tip is just considered extra and is appreciated, just tip the way you feel you should/can afford

    I believe everything is good in moderation. Tipping too much is just as bad as not tipping. I think the good old rule of dollar per song is a practical and sustainable one. Stick with it.

    I must admit that I really hate when a guy says, "not right now" or "maybe later" when he means, "never in a million years" You imply or state that you'll get a dance "next time" or "later" and I will come back again later. If you never wanted a dance from me you wasted my time. I appreciate that you're trying to be polite, but time is money for me

    I will definitely agree with you that you shouldn't tell a dancer WHY you don't want a dance. "No thank you" is sufficient

However, if you cannot afford to tip more, than do what you can.

    There is nothing wrong with tipping too much, in fact, you cannot tip "too much." It's usually cheapos who have rules about what is "too much," and have some ridiculous arbitrary number like (for a $100 private dance) $5-8 is good while anything over $15 is "too much," when in reality men usually tip $20-40, and the men that tip $5-8 are the ones that are overly grabby and trying to get as much bang for their buck as they can.
    I have never tipped more than $1/song and I have always received affectionate smiles coupled with spread eagles. I guess it could be due to the fact that I am a nice guy.

    I always remember to go to the bank and buy a roll of quarters before hitting up the strip club.

    ^^This....sorta reminds me of the thread about needing to be 39 years old to be a dancer especially combined with his other posts about it being the dancer's job to get the customer off seeing that is what they pay for.

    People who cannot stand opposing views and have no defense against honest argument resort to calling others troll. I am no longer going to respond to this childish accusation.
