    Default Is your customer base polarizing?

    Ladies, judging by a lot of topics on the boards lately the customer base for many of you seems to polarizing into two broad categories.

    Category A (The Whaleb): This guy always has money to blow, and generally expects nothing more than standard service (so I hear). Many will pay just to talk. Always goes for the VIP room. Never haggles about price, and will often tip generously on top of standard dance price.

    Category B (The Stiff): Exactly the opposite. Comes in, pays the cover orders his pitcher of beer and nurses it for three hours. Never buys a dance, seldom if ever tips the stage.

    It seems to me a lot of dancers I see in clubs are basing whom they will approach on this very broad generalization. Certainly in reality its not this simplified, is it?

    This has been a debacle for me as a customer, because frankly I don't feel that I fit into either group, and I wonder if a lot of other guys here feel the same. I don't have the whale's deep pockets, but when I do show up at the club, I always come to tip and buy dances. I've actually made a habit of avoiding clubs on weekend nights because on a "dead" weeknight because its clear that I get better treatment due to my customer "stock" being a bit higher since I don't have that many other customers to compete against for the dancers attention.

    So is the "middle of the road" customer dead? Am I part of a dying breed? Or do people like me only show up when there's a special event in town? I'm just curious of what observations you're encountering at your club, and what reasoning you think is behind it.

    I think it just seems that way because it's all we talk about. I think most customers are "middle of the road".

    I agree with Emily. We aren't going to waste time or bandwidth saying things such as "Yeah, had fourteen different customers; nice guys, some tipped, bought a couple of dances apiece. Nothing special." No, we'll spend most of our time discussing the extraordinary customer; extraordinarily easy, extraordinarily wealthy or an extraordinary asshat.

    I think the "target" customer base in most clubs has been on a steady decline for 4-5 years now.

    There are more girls dancing than in years past and the focus nowadays in clubs is the "fat cat".

    Many unskilled dancers exist nowadays who are more interested in quick "big" money than in steady money.

    Also more guys at your level since dances are more expensive nowadays are choosy about who they spend their money on and what they get for their money.

    It also depends on the momentum of the club. If you are patronizing a club where the flow of the club is for the girls to go table to table selling dances, (such as in Arizona, El Paso, Albuquerque, or some clubs in LA) chances are most of the girls will approach you as the money is made on dance volume and the dances are cheaper in the Southwest clubs).

    In clubs where conversation leads to dances, many of the new breed of dancer profiles customers more and many times I have seen this work to a dancers disadvantage. Many of the dancers nowadays are just nervous approaching every guy and need sales training.

    It also depends on the type club and when you go. I mostly go to small neighborhood bar type clubs (which probably aren't very well represented by the ladies on this site) because they're usually friendlier and less expensive, and I avoid weekends. I don't usually see the big spenders, and everybody tips the dancers because they're mostly regulars. Most of the time I have a couple of drinks, tip each girl at the stage, and maybe buy a dance or two, staying less than 2 hours, unless I meet someone I really really like. I rarely see either extreme of the customer base, just ordinary middle-aged guys sipping beers and tipping and talking to the dancers as they make their rounds.
