    Default On or Off?

    Do any of you mind when you are tipped on the first song with your clothes still on? Or, do you think it takes away from the "introduction" before the "real" show. Or, does it even make a difference? (hope this isn't too much of a dumb question)

    I always tip on the first song-- I'll tip on the second too, if she's badass-- but most of the time I leave the naked set for the guys. I've had some dancers look at me sincerely (or maybe they're just good actresses) puzzled and say "I haven't taken my clothes off, yet." And, a few times I've felt that vibe that I'm interrupting their gig. For me, a beautiful woman is a beautiful woman-- you could be wearing a snowsuit for all I care!

    I like it when huys tip on the first song. It makes me feel like they actually like the way I'm dancing, or that they really see something in me, and arent just waiting to get close to me when I'm naked.

    I'll tip on the first few notes of the first song! Hell, if i can i'll tip before it even starts. If she looks at me over it, i'll give her my most winning smile. I don't know why. I geuss i just want her to know that i appreciate her.

    It must be a goddamn hard thing to take your clothes off in front of a roomfull of men (i couldn't do it, i could never be a Male Stripper, even if i had the body. which I, very sadly, do not) I'd rather she know right off the bat that i like her. She's probably got some self concious streak still in her. Frankly, if she just wore a sexy dress and never took it off, i'd tip her as if she was as naked as the day she was born.

    look, i just like pretty girls. I don't have to see them naked.

    Am I in the 'Kiss the Dancer's ass' school of thought as i have recently been told. Maybe. What actually goes on with me in the club and what I relate here might be two different things. Hell, i don't think i'm a prick in the clubs but maybe they do. Maybe they think i'm the biggest sweetheart that has ever walked the earth. I dunno. I'm no mind reader. I'll tell you this though, i hope it's closer to the latter than it is to the former.

    I like to tip during the first song for a couple of reasons. One, it means she's more likely to recognize that I'm tipping because I want a dance later and not because I'm looking to pick up a little contact on the cheap. Two, during the second song the time she spends getting my tip could be spent getting tips from other guys; tipping during the first song is a better use of her time.

    And yes, I'm definitely a member of the "kiss the dancer's ass" school-- or would be if the clubs I frequent allowed that sort of contact, which they don't.

    I'm rarely at the stage when in a club since I'm usually in the back somewhere havin' a drink or lounging with dancers.

    When I AM at the stage, it's usually because someone I know has their stage round up, so I proceed to find an open chair or simply stand nearby to cheer/goad-on the dancer, as well as seed tips. Being a fellow "guy" and putting down a few bucks for all three dances (and getting a winkful 10-15 seconds of special attention from it) usually makes the dozen or so guys that have been sitting there all night dig in and follow suit for all three dances versus $3-$4 once at the very start or very end... thus turning an average $50-$60 stage show into more of a $120-$130 stage performance. (i.e. converting 1x$4 into more of 3x$3 for a dozen guys). It's even better if a curse of "one-upmanship" breaks out amongst a few of the stage guys- where ya got the two cowboys across from each other trying to outbid one another for dancer stage attention. woo woo.

    So yeah, if you like a particular dancer who's hip to what's going on, by all means seed a per-dance tipping set. The majority of other guys will totally "monkey-see, monkey-do" and makes for quite an exceptional experience.

    geez...I wish the assholes at "my" club were like you guys! I get up for the amateur contest and everyone leaves....it's the exact opposite of the one-upmanship...they figure if one guy doesn't have to tip than neither do they! Wow...$120 set....hell, even a $50 set....I usually get $5! Is there anyway I can convince you lovely men to come to upstate NY for a Monday night of fun????

    A tip is a tip, I'm sure most dancers don't care when they are tipped. And when a customer tips the dancer, the other customers usually follow.

    tipping on the first song is good..it gives the dancer motivation to do a good show in hopes of more tips. Of course, if you just stop tipping after that she might feel like she's not done a good enough job or something, so if you know you're only going to tip a certain amount you might want to just wait.

    Hah! Well, it's not that big of a deal since it's just a case of numbers really. Big city clubs have *enormous* stages- think a giant Y shape with about 20 seats around the entire perimeter. A gal working this kind of stage has some SERIOUS yardage to cover in order to hit everyone... so it's a ton of work. Let's just say song selection is always stuff greater than 5 minutes hehe.

    Figure if only 13-14 of the guys out of say 23 stage-side only tip $3 once per set, that's a $42 set. The trick is getting $2-$3 PER SONG to really boost that set's intake, and seeding it with male pride and ego is a lovely tactic. LOL

    I always sit at the stage and tip. Thats just me.

    When do I tip? When the dancer comes over to me. It doesnt matter if it is the first, second, third or eleventh song. I dont mind it when they come back during their set too. Its no skin off my nose to see them again. If they are bored, disinterested, lackadaisical or obviously doing little more then reaching their hand out for a tip, they will get less from me, but this is a relatively rare thing.

    If I watch a girl dance, she's getting tipped regardless.

    I went one time with a friend i'd never been to a SC with and he turned out to be the biggest deadbeat i have ever seen in a SC. NOTHING but single dollar bills and no LDs at all, and here the girls are avoiding ME because of it (Guilt by association, i guess). I ended up going through WAAAY too much cash that night to make up for it (and the cheap ass was following me around from stage to stage). Never took him again. Moral of the story: if you bring someone, make sure they aren't cheap. It'll save you money. I don't see why people even bother if all they want to do is piss off the girls and sour it for everyone else, but what can ya do?

    Madcap, my boyfriend is like your friend - but worse, he spent the entire night one night letting me and the other guy we were with go up to stage and tip and such but didn't spend ANYTHING. One girl came up and even asked him how college was going, was all friendly, NOTHING. This is me being so embarassed.

    Okay, this is off the main subject, but Madcap and Luna inspired me. Here's my story of cheap and embarrassment:
    So my favorite club for a few months had a "10-cents Drinks Night" once a month. The club was packed, so they had a few single people double-up on tables. No problem. I end up sitting with this young guy who had never been there before. He orders "beer," and the waitress asks "what kind?" He says "beer." I was familiar with this waitress and knew if she had to ask again, she was going to get cranky, so I said "he'll take a bud light." Already I knew this kid was out of his element. The kicker: she comes back with the drinks; I give her $3 for mine, he hands her a dollar. She starts to walk away and he goes "where's my change?" I knew it was over. She was pissed and angrily counted out 90cents and whispered to me "why is that cheap mother f*cker in here? Gonna hassle me for some damn change!" I just wanted to sink into my chair, but not before busting out laughing. In a way, I felt bad for the guy, because he didn't seem used to partying in a Galleria-area club. He didn't stay very long. People, if you don't have the money or if you're not with a friend who can pass you a few bucks under the table (I've passed a few just so my guy friends wouldn't just sit there all night), then don't go. I'm not a snob, but geez, have some dignity!

    The more i get.. THE more i give! and the customers learn that real fast.. nothing like getting 10s ands 20s on stage eh? they seem to like it more too..

    and if they dont get the hint then i spot a customer that looks asif he might spend and tease him till he does.. then i take of.. and i get tipped like mad.

    I've been to clubs where the girls won't start removing anything until guys start tipping. But I've only ever go to such a club once (lol). I'm a good tipper if I'm not pressured. Make me feel like I owe somebody a tip for doing nothing and I'm outa there.

    The club I go to the most you can only tip on the first song before they get naked. Once their naked you cant touch them. I guess you could still toss the money to them but what fun is that?

    In a lot of clubs I go to the bar completely surrounds the stage so there's no opportunity to tip until after the dance. Then the dancer comes around and collects tips. In a couple of cases the dancers crawl around on top of the bar. It's a good system because it gives you a chance to say hello and invite her to join you if you like. And it makes it virtually impossible for anyone not to tip.
