    Default Making more money as a loner?

    Hello everyone!

    I have been stripping for two years now in Montreal, so I'm fairly new to the business.

    I've been dancing for one year at an upscale club where the dances are 20$ (most clubs in Montreal have 10$ dances).

    Recently, one of the only girls I talked to got banned from the club because she left before 3 am, and that's against the rules. I learned that she's been banned for life, so I guess I'll never see her again unless I go work somewhere else with her. But I make very good money where I am right now, so that won't happen.

    What I have observed since she left, is that I make double the money a night (I used to make max 500$ on friday and saturday). Also, like I mentioned before, I barely speak to any of the other girls because I'm very introverted and anti-social.

    So now that I'm on my own, I work a lot more; I don't sit on my ass when there are clients around, I walk around smiling and talking to pretty much all of them.

    The only problem I have is that I feel very rejected by the other girls. I feel like they are very jealous of the money I make. I may be wrong, but that's my gut feeling.

    Do any of you feel this way? Is being a loner a money maker or is it just depressing?

    Yeah thats why a lot of dancers hustle solo. sometimes Its easier to hustle alone without someone holding you down.

    Some dancers make more tag teaming dudes but the tag team doesn't always work if neither is a mega hustler, the girls vary in style, etc.

    I always hustle alone but Im open to tag team - it only works for me when Im with an assertive mega hustler or when I play into dudes 3 some fantasies I can line one up.

    I had one broad that wanted to tag team with me but it never worked and I lost money f*cking with her because 1) she wanted to sit in DR all [email protected] night drinking, talking, and doing her hair 2) she was not assertive enough and she talked too much

    So sometimes you have to go at it alone when you know you'll make more money

    What's weird in my club, is that we have very few girls who bank, and they almost always work alone. The others hang out in the DR or goof around in the club, trying to get free drinks from costumers and such. And then they bitch about the girls who bank. I'm mostly scared that they'll pull something mean on me, like lie about me and say that I probably do extras, which I don't. I don't want any problems with management because I love working here.

    I worked at one club where the other girls were so up my butt and also butthurt I wasn't interested in their kids names and vacation plans that one of them actually pulled me aside to talk about it. Girl - stay a loner. You're fine.

    ARe you there to socialize and make friends or are you there work and make money.

    You said it yourself you are introvert and anti-social so there is a chance you thinking they are jealous of you is in your head.

    and even if they are jealous of you what are you there to work and make your money or to make friends.

    The girl who got fired from the club if you really wanted a relationship with you her you would have exchanged numbers and talk to her outside the club.

    I do a lot better working alone, but that's because I'm an introvert and socializing tires me out. If I'm too busy socializing with coworkers, I lose the focus for hustling.

    Everyone's different, and while strip clubs can be catty/unpleasant places to work, you need to do what's best for you. Don't worry about other people. Get that money.

    Of course you'll make more money, you're focused on hustling not socializing. There's really no reason to talk to other girls unless it's like DEAD or you're double dancing for someone.

    They probably are jealous, yes. Let them talk shit.
    Personally, I only talk to other 'serious' dancers and male staff. It got me a rep for being a stuck up bitch, and a few weeks ago I even got water dumped in my bag/on my clothes and electronics... people will hate on the people who are doing better than them. They can go ahead and hate, because I'm not the one working 5 days a week, since I spend the majority of my time at work... working. Fancy that

    Do your thing and you'll be the one with a fat stack of cash while they have shit. "Maybe if you hustled as hard as you hate..."

    Never crossed my mind to double with another lady....if things go south with a customer(s) i can only blame myself. too easy to blame another girl, regardless of what happened

    There've been a handful of dancers I've felt comfortable hustling with, and it was always very temporary case-by-case basis. Like, we never hustled together the entire night. We always hustled on our own... unless one of us ran into a guy who seemed like a prime target for a double dance/would buy a VIP for the chance to have two dancers dancing at once. Usually in that case, one of us would make the pitch, and when the guy agreed, go find the other girl if she was free, or suggest she come by when she was. If she/I had time, we'd all three go have some expensive fun. If not, whoever was with the guy initially would give him some "appetizer" dances, and when it became apparent that the other girl wasn't coming buy, just shrug it off as "next time" and keep dancing. Or find another girl.

    Point is, they were micro hustles. Once that specific customer, who had already been vetted as prime real estate for the double-trouble pitch, had been sold to, we parted ways and went on with our nights. We never cold-called customers together. or agreed to stick together the entire night. We only went and got the other if the customer we'd solo'd seemed like "that kind of guy" and had already been more or less sold to. Once the other girl was there, it was just a matter of keeping it going, or maybe upselling. But no one wasted their time or got in the way of the other, generally. So if it's run like that, and I know the girl, I'm generally okay with working together. Otherwise, though, 100%, I'd rather work on my own.

    I never hustle with other girls with very few situational exceptions. The club I'm at right now I don't exactly feel welcomed by the girls but it keeps me from wasting time sitting around.

    I agree, working solo seems to be the best strategy. I guess it's a bit harder for me than for most, because I've always been a reject and making friends for me has always been a struggle. But making friends is not my goal; my goal is to make money. Gotta keep that in mind.

    You make more when you're hustling instead of socializing, but stay on good terms with the other girls on a superficial level. after all this is your bread and butter and you don't want to get kicked out for being pulled into some petty drama with another dancer.

    Just say hi to them, have quick and light conversations, make small compliments like "that outfit and necklace looks really good", stuff like that. Make them familiar and comfortable with you so they're not afraid to approach you. People begin to fear and hate what they don't know, so if they're familiar with you they're less likely to talk behind your back or make up stories. Same with a vanilla workplace, be on good terms with people. You don't have to be buddy buddy but being approachable makes people hate you less (even outside the club).

    I had more people trying to pull me into drama in high school than at the club, at the club I think everyone knows how dangerous stripper drama can be so they all try to keep distance or stay on good terms with eachother.

    I feel that way. I used to make crazy good money at the club I'm at now when I started and I was a total loner, went there alone and just hustled from beginning to end of the shift and made great money. Of course people gossiped left and right about what a whore I was how I must have done extras.

    About 6 months in a girl I perviously worked with at another club and was good friends decided to come to the club. And she's a mega hustler too. It is great always having someone to talk to at work and she shuts down anyone who shit talks me. But one thing I did realize is I make less money.

    The club we're at has been on a slight decline, but I feel like the time I've spent with her taking breaks to talk for even 5-10 minutes would've been time I could have swiped another dance up. Or sometimes if I see her struggling and there's only one potential customer, I'll tell her to go try him. Rather than before I would have had no friends and not thought to ask anyone and just go for them myself. Every once in a while one of us does pull the other into a room or tip us off on who is spending money and who isn't. But I still feel like overall I make less money cause of it, especially because talking even about the customers is more theorizing than actual hustling.

    It does suck not making quite as much, but it does help my sanity having someone there to talk to from time to time. Luckily I do still make really good money and no longer need as much...I saved a ton from the time I was in loner mode working non stop, so I'm grateful I have her. But if I ever really need money again or feel the need to maximize what I'm earning I would definitely try to find a new club I knew no one at or go into loner mode again lol.

    I always found having less distractions complimented my hustle more. My best friend got me into dancing and we worked the same clubs for a long time, but I went to a different club for a while and she stayed at the same place and I was more on my grind. I was more social with customers than I was other dancers and staff. So I definitely feel that the more you keep to yourself the better. Other dancers are always going to have something to hate on, wether it be your hair, the money you make, a regular you have, an outfit, your shoes, the way you dance, the music you dance to, whatever. People are always gonna hate, but you know what? The more they focus on you and hate, the less money their gonna be making because their focus isn't on their JOB. Their job isn't to be there to criticize or hate.. are they getting paid to gossip among each other? NO. So keep up the good work honey, being a loner is where it's at in the club in my opinion. Less drama, more money!

    And sometimes, those girls will try to spread gossip to customers and so forth just because you aren't that social with other people.. and some customers may egg the gossip on... but just don't listen to it.. You're there to entertain and be a fantasy and take all their money.

    I am a loner at my club and I think that contributes to the amount of money I make. I usually do very well when others don't, but I keep to myself more than pretty much every girl I can think of that I work with. I am naturally shy, plus I don't want work drama... just money My best friend since high school works with me, but she honestly almost never works so I don't see her at work more than a couple times a month. And when we work together, we usually just have a shift drink together and then get to hustling. We can mingle after work.

    I have found working alone to be better. If you do pair up you have to be careful that the other girl isn't using you and that they have your best interests at heart. At some point or another a guy is going to like one of you more than the other and that can create a rift. I got burned this way because I was being used for my conversation skills. Some girls work well in pairs in clubs that operate this way, but its risky. I'm pretty shy and keep out of business so I naturally keep to myself. Girls will hate on this but you're there to make money. If friends happen, they come with time.

    I'm glad you took it positively and making good money.
    Shy and introverted people do find each other and make great friends.

    We know dancers leave and new dancers come in.
    i'm hoping you will find a friend in new dancers!

    Thanks for the replies, everyone! I will continue to work alone, and I'll make an extra effort not to care about what other girls might think or say about me. I've gotten used to the lonely stripper life, lol. Plus, I have a loving boyfriend at home who listens to me and who is very supportive. That way, when I come home exhausted, at least I have someone to talk to and I feel less lonely. Cheers!

    BonLapin,

    If you don't mind me asking, where do you work in MTL? I'm originally from Ontario and mostly have worked there but I'm often in MTL visiting friends. I've heard only about the dreaded $10 lap dances in MTL and didn't know there was a place that had them for $20.
