My post is why do we worry so much about what other dancers/staff/people consider a good/decent/bad night? Where the best city or town to dance in is? If a upscale club is better to work at earnings wise than a dive or neighborhood club? Why do we care if you are or if any of the other posters on here are top earners at their club? If certain races/body types/heights/hair colors/ breast or ass sizes make more money than others? If age determines how much you can make? If certain parts of the country have more money in it than others?
I feel that just in general we as people are super competitive. We spend so much time trying to keep other with others. Worry about yourself! What may work for one person may not work for another. A dancer could bank in (insert town or club) and you may not bank there. You could even be a so called top earner and not bank there. There could be many reasons why. Maybe you tried a slow week, maybe other dancers have big money regulars, maybe there was a holiday around the time you worked and you didn't do well. Sometimes some clubs/towns don't work for people. Maybe there is just enough money to go around for a few dancers but not all of them.
Girls with larger or fake breasts DO NOT make more money than someone with no breasts or small breasts. It's all in how you hustle, the clientele at the club you work, and yes appearance can be a factor but its not the sole factor.
I've been dancing for 11 years. Ive seen girls that I thought were too old, too ugly too fat, too this or too that make money and some not make money. Let's face it men are pigs and like variety.
Some blacks dancers make more than white dancers. Some white dancers make more than Hispanic dancers. Some fat, ugly, tall, short, blonde dancers make more or less than others (get my point). It is what it is!
There is no for sure look that makes more money. Men like different things.
Some girls make more $$ in boom towns, small towns, big cities, dives, or neighborhood bars.
Some girls make good money no matter the conditions or locations of a strip club.
Like I read in a other thread this forum is anonymous. You don't know 100% that anything you are reading is true or not true unless you know the poster or worked for or are currently working at the club talked about in the thread.
Another thing - whether you average 50, 200, 500, 700, 1200 etc. A night...do you even save any of it? This is really about saving not how much you made.
For example:
GIRL A averages 500 per night and works 100 shifts a year = 50,000
GIRL B averages 200 a night and works 200 shifts a year = 40,0000
GIRL C average 700 a night and works 150 shifts a year = 105,000
My point is there is so many variables. What if GIRL C who clearly makes more blows most of her money on clothes, makeup, drugs, cigs, gambling, partying (insert another habit or hobby) GIRL A could be making half as much but what is she saved half or even a quarter of what she earned? It really means nothing if you dance for 10, 20, 30 years and you have nothing or very little to show for it. I personally know someone who is 52 now and has danced for 35 years. She tells me the stories of the THOUSANDS per night she made not a thousand in a night. I SAID THOUSANDS. Well guess what she has nothing. No home paid off, No car, No investments. No savings etc. So who cares if she made 10 million dancing in her career she has none of it now. (Not hating on her but just sharing this information as an example). It doesn't even mean she is stupid. We have all done it - maybe on a lesser scale. But it is what it is!
Hopefully you all can understand where I am coming from. We need to stop comparing ourselves and being so competitive. It's all for nothing anything. Its all about the long term not the short term.
My only advice would be in any job is work hard and save your money no matter how much or how little you make per night. Don't worry about the next dancer and how they look or how much she made. I myself have not been perfect - we all have our ups and downs thru life. For example a dancer once confided in me that she had 57K saved up in her house and that her boyfriend at the time stole all the money
I even had a second dancer tell me how a woman that she trusted stole 90,000 from her and this is dancer money. But they did not put it in their bank accounts. They let the money sit in their houses. Even me myself once had quite a bit of money stolen from me so I would also advise never to have plenty of money laying around in your house and be careful of who you bring into your home. Just do you and be happy. Work hard and save. Or be lazy and blow all the money you make. Don't take any of the money that you make now for granted. If you make a G a night good for you - Save it! Travel! Buy houses and cars. Open a business, pay your way thru college!! Do how you see fit!
Lastly, I don't care what anyone says there is no dancer who every shift they have ever worked made "bank" every night. I have been doing this 11 years and I have worked at more than 70 strip clubs in 16 states. I have had bad nights (not that often) but yes I admit that I have had them. I had a bad night 2 weeks ago. I only made $120. That is very bad to me. Luckily, that doesn't happen that often but still it was an off day for me. Even other dancers I know that are top earners, middle or low have all bad nights everyone does. Its just that top earners don't have bad nights that often. It could be cause of their hustle skills or maybe regulars save them on potential awful nights. We need to stop pretending like we never do bad. I hate reading threads from posters who try to make it seem like they bank everyday. What is bank anyway? You would have to post the actual number of what you made cause what is bad good or bank to someone is different to the next person.
Happy April!
Make lots of $$ and Save! Always Keep in mind that your not promised a job or any certain amount of money tomorrow!! You can be cut or fired at any time for any reason.
