    Default What To Do When You're Penny Pinching

    Most clients will sooner or later face a severe $ drought which will make strip clubbin' a really hard task. Just imagining ways to finance a future visit to your favorite clubs can be frustrating. [frustrated] That's what I'm going through at this particular moment. What do I do? First of all I have to think of what dancers at a particular club will expect of me. If dancers are used to a particular client splurging at a club, this client should refrain from going to that club. If you suddenly stop spending at this club you will certainly gain loser and/or pervert status. It's best to wait till you're able to finance a visit to this club. Secondly, think of clubs where you don't necessarily have to spend large sums of money to have a good time. The good thing about strip clubs in Puerto Rico is the variety. There is a upscale club in San Juan (Divas) where you can have a good time and enjoy the loveliest group of dancers around, but expect to spend quite a bit of $$$, even if you don't do privates and/or VIP's. Then there those clubs out in western Puerto Rico, where you can have a good time and "save a buck or two" just like that ad. Also think of clubs where, even though they are not inexpensive, you're are not pushed into overspending. What I'm doing at this particular moment is mostly frequenting clubs in western PR, so to not lose the strip clubbin' habit.

    Hopefully if my particular career goal is realized ( [order]) I won't have to go through this stage again.

    If the guys on this board (and girls, too) have other ideas, comments or suggesting feel free to post.

    For me its simple - if I don't have the money at the time to enjoy a SC, I don't go. I would rather go maybe a couple of times over the course of a few months, and be a quality customer, then go a lot over the course of a month and be a mediocre one.

    Every once in a while, when unexpected expenses come up, I stop going. Why? Because I will not get myself into any sort of debt. I'm fairly obsessive in making sure all my bills are paid the day the bill arrives. Sometimes this means there isn't extra cash left over for a visit to a SC, so I simply just don't go until I do have the extra funds. I enjoy my time in SC's very much, but they do not occupy so much of my life that I will risk hurting myself financially to maintain a constant presence in them. Additionally, I prefer to be rather generous, because I very much appreciate what they are doing. If I can't be generous, I feel like a jerk.

    That's just my take, and not a criticism of anyone else.

    LOL! I've been penny pinchin' ever since I bought my home almost two years ago!

    You don't necessarily have to spend BIG money every time you go to a strip club. It's okay to walk into a club, enjoy an icy cold beverage whilst watching half-nekkid (or nekkid) ladies walking about. I'm a sports fanatic...my first strip club experience here in Austin was when I went to a club specifically to watch Monday Night Football...the nekkid ladies were just a bonus. I've often gone into my favorite club just to sit, drink a beer, and watch a football, basketball, or baseball game. Even if you're not buying dances, if you're still at least tipping the girls on stage you should be all right in terms of not being looked at as a loser.

    Heck, today is baseball's opening day, and I'm traveling out to my second home twice...once by myself at lunch for some Braves action, and again tonight with a friend of mine to watch the Yankees (yeah, I know, it's screwy that a Braves fan AND a Yankees fan can be friends). I don't really have big money to spend, but that's certainly not going to stop me from having fun!

    Just be upfront with the dancers if you don't plan on spending money. They may be disappointed, but at least you're not wasting their time. They know you'll be back again...
    I'm a simple man, making my way through the universe.

    Yup, If it weren't for my mortgage and my car I'd be in a position where I can comfortably enjoy GC's. Guess I grew so accustomed to buying privates/VIP's at Divas I felt that it was my civic duty to let the girls spend time with their other clients while I take it easy[pimp]. Too bad there's no sports-themed GC's here. At least there would be something else to do beside ogling hot, near-naked girls [joker]. Sure, sooner or later I'll be back, that's a fact.

    I can see your dilemma though, cause if you go back to the club whereas you always dropped a couple bux without issue, and then show up and not buy any - the girls will wonder A) did I offend him B) sure you're broke, likely story C) you tirekicker!!!
    Hard to explain things to anyone without them acting in someway offended or put out - becasue we hear those bullshit lines so much now we just roll our eyes, and get annoyed at the space you are taking up.

    So I say ya, save yourself the trouble, and grief and the fact you shouldnt have to explain yourself to ANYONE as to why you are watching your cashflow a little more closely than before. ... and go traipse around to some other clubs, have a look see, go to one, then to another buy one dance here and there, and mosey on down to the next one after that!
    The girls at your club that saw you spend as before and then pull the plug but still you come around? Will eventually stop coming over to chat or hang and go back to the business at hand, so then when You DO have cash, it may take a bit of effort trying to find your girls again...they've moved on all in the name of the almighty dollar (it is a job afterall).

    Never explain yourself to anyone, because the person who likes you doesn't need it and the person that dislikes you won't believe it.

    I have to make an exception here. Sure, many guys must go around telling those "I'm broke, so I can't buy you a dance, honey" stories inside the club. I just don't BOTHER to step inside the club and give them sob stories. That's very lame. I know I'd be making them waste valuable money time. If you insinuate that the dancers will think twice about approaching me if I come back, well, sure, I accept that fact. One good reason to actually get my butt off pervert row and ask for dances. I know that it bothers YOU that guys don't ask for dances, as per a recent post of yours, Leigh.

    How about a cheaper evening at the SC by sitting at the stage and tipping each dancer a couple of dollars instead of buying dances? This should get you a couple of hours at the stage and only spending about $20. Then you have to expect to spend at least another $20 on your drinks and cocktail waitress tips, then whatever the door charge is. A much cheaper evening than going and spending thousands on lap dances.

    I never am never offended if a man turns me down for a lap dance when he is sitting at the stage. After all he is already enjoying a good show, so why would he want to leave?

    You might try explaining to your regular dancers that you haven't a lot of discresionary income right now, but thought you would do your part to keep supporting the bar through drink sales. Also expalain that when you are financally flush again, you will seek her out to do lap dances, and that you will ask her for dances then. But let her know right up front that you aren't buying today, so she can keep working the room if she so chooses.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    No no no Carlos I think you misunderstood me...!
    I meant if you kept frequenting but stopped spending, this wasn't personal Carlos, for real just giving you another side or insight. Girls can be fickle.
    BTW I do ask customers, absolutely, I just dont cold call. I just posed that other question in another thread to see what the deal was on some of those type of guys mindsets - not necessarily my own personal situation.

    I hope u didnt think I was trying to stir u up - I wasn't at all.

    Well, money, hardly anyone goes to the blue site, specially the ladies, that's why I posted here. One reason why I think both sites should be merged.

    like Carlos said before, it really depends on the club that you go to. If you go to a casual neighborhood club, you'll see guys who go in there 2-3 times a week, sit at the bar, have a few beers, hang out with the girls, watch the game, maybe play a little pool, they almost never get dances (maybe once in a while), and they might go to the tip rail occasionally. I would bet these guys probably spend less than $50 each visit. As long as you're friendly, the girls wont really ignore you.

    Case in point, "guest", one night at the Hormigueros, PR club where I go on occasion I had a $30.00 nude, two song private, gave the girl a $20.00 tip and with the cover, tips and beer it all came up to around $85.00. But of course, it ain't a neighborhood club, I had to drive all the way from San Juan to where I stay when I'm in that area, so there are other costs involved (gas, toll, etc.). Even so it's way less than what I would've spent at a San Juan club.

    Well I can tell you that the girls at Divas don't ming one bit if you sit all night long and do nothing but tip the girls on stage. We understand that not everyone has the cash to blow all the time, and we have plenty of regulars who come all the time and don't always buy dances. I have some who come in maybe 1-2 times per week, and only buy dances or VIP's half the time. I still chat with them a bit even if I know they're not going to buy any dances that night because they are nice guys and I know they will probably buy some dances the next time. Also, there is nothing wrong with, say, buying a couple dances on a visit instead of a couple VIP's. We are not so greedy and selfish that we expect you to splurge every single time. And like I said, even if all you want or can afford to do is sit at the stage and tip dollars there, we won't see you as a loser and will appreciate the fact that you're spreading it around - even if it's not very much.

    Of course, you can always limit your visits to, say once per week if you're going twice a week now. Or once per month instead of twice, etc. And you can also make a deal with yourself that once you've seen all the girls onstage you either buy your dance (if you're getting one) and leave or just leave. That way you see and tip each girl but don't do overboard by staying all night, continuing to tip and buy drinks.

    And there's also the method of just bringing what you can afford to spend in cash and leaving when you've spent it.

    Believe me, we'd rather you limit your spending and continue to be a nice regular than see you stop coming altogether.

    Bridgette hit the nail on the head, that's what I always did before I started DJing, when I was still a customer. Since I have been an artist, I am not rich (as far as having a fat wallet, anyway). I learned very quickly that you can still have a lot of fun, and make a great impression, if you follow those rules.

    When you do go, don't stay long, if you are a gentleman and a great tipper, they will remember you, trust me. The best way to do this is to only take as much money as you are willing to spend, sober. You'll never wake up wondering where all your money went the night before, and how in hell you're gonna make it through the rest of the week. You can go just as often if you don't stay as long.

    Now that I am in the industry I don't have to worry so much, as wherever I go I run into a lot of women I have worked with, I'm really hanging out with my good friends, and they have seen me tip them while working (to get the guys off their asses--of course it works better if you send a girl and make a fuss over 'em) enough times to know I am a gentleman. Also I never, ever distract them from work, to the extent that I will often tell them if a guy is checking them out, etc.

    Also I have become famous for throwing fistfuls of money at my friends who deserve it when I am flush with cash, especially if they were good tippers when we worked together elsewhere. But I still don't stay very long in any one club, ever. That way they are always glad to see me come back!

    Thanx for your input, Bridgette. Just wondering what was my status as a Divas customer. I was precisely doing what you are suggesting before I knew who you were (even having seen you at the club before finding out). The most I had done was the occasional lap dance. Then I found out who you were and all money-hell broke loose [devil]. Of course, you weren't the only recipient of my VIP money; there were two other lucky ladies as well. Now that I know that I'm in good standing I'll return soon. Thanx again.

    As long as you don't sit all night and not tip at all, most of the girls will just be glad you came. Especially if they are used to seeing you on a regular basis.

    Daisa said it well...customers have their off-nights (or off-weeks, or off-months, etc.) just like dancers, and while they may still be able to come in, they may not be able to spend as freely as usual.

    My experience has been that if you don't vary who you tip, varying what you tip is less noticeable. (And more often than not, the dancers that knew me best wouldn't fuss that I tipped them $10 tonight instead of $15.)

    If you can't afford your cable bill do you watch tv? I say no. Don't penny pinch with the girls- it is as rude as going to a restraunt, ordering the steak and not tipping because you only have $20. If you take out the drinks you might have a bit more cash AND not spend your whole wad on one person. But if you are broke please don't go- it makes the rest of us look good

    Caged Boy--Bravo! My sentiments exactly...Would you go to an auto mechanic and say "hey I can't afford to pay you in full, can you fix my car for 30 bucks instead?" I don't know, or understand if you cannot afford a visit to anywhere you know is pricey, why even ponder the endeavor? Geesh, it's so tacky to try to bargan shop at a club where the gals are working VERY hard to provide good entertainment. Save your money, like with anything else, then go when you can afford to! I don't get to do everything I want, when I want...please don't be cheap and try to act proud!
