    Default Is it just me or are the people I work with....

    .....really "low tech" ???

    I work in LA, CA in the valley. There are a slew of little clubs out here. The "valley" is also home to a huge porn industry. You would think that the dancers and patrons would be more internet savvy, but NO!??

    Coming from dancing in SF, CA and in the Silicon Valley, I can remember a dancer telling me that she had a list of clients whom she kept in touch with via email. This was back in 1998!!

    I really don't like to give out my number to customers, if I don't know thaem that well, however I don't mind giving them one of my email addresses if we do stike up a report.

    It is also amazing to me how many dancers I have worked with who do not own home PCs.

    Anybody have any comments?


    Cheers,

    LOL, yeah...That is amazing to me. Most of the girls that I work with have no idea what an e-mail address is.

    I only give out my email addy on bizz cards that blade makes for me. Alot of guys are actually surprised that I have cards which gives them something else to remember me for . I know some dancers that give out cell phone numbers but to be honest that would so get on my nevers... the cell ringing all the time with stupid things like"are you working?" "what are you doing?" and the such. Ehhhh to each their own I just don't have that kind of patience.

    I agree, Deanna. There isn't enough time for idle chit-chat.

    Hey Rose, do you work in So. Cal too?

    SF and the Bay Area are insane with the amount of technology and how many dancers are internet/computer savvy.

    I do have to admit, there is something mildly erotic about a dancer going off on the best partitioning strategy for installing Linux... or bragging about all the specs of a latest laptop acquisition. I swear they need to make stick-on pocket protectors for SF dancers sometimes.

    with as many dancers that don't have a car or bank account (which I still don't quite get), I'm not surprised that many don't have a computer

    it's to our advantage though! What a great business resource....networking with customers and dancers

    I have maintained a theory, but have not had an opportunity to test it out. Dancer gets web site - dancer has schedule online...pics....bio.....journal that is kept updated. Dancer gives out information. Customers get more interested...become regulars....dancer gets wealthy. Customers get poor, but tough shit. End of theory. Comments?

    I must admit that because of a free networking website that was SF based, I had more of a loyal customer base there. I think because of web advertising, I was able to make a good income in a bikini bar that had mild contact dances.

    I feel that in LA, CA...it's not just the dancers are not used to communicating over the Internet. I think our customers are more into phones/text messaging.

    Cheers,

    Hey, it worked for me. I first started my website in 1995, and my bustline and earnings potential have kept growing ever since.

    Sorry I was eating dinner.
    I'm thinking mr. darkness is suffering from the disease Sitri has discovered
    VAGINA ENVY! Why else would they try and pass themselves off on an internet message board as a woman?
    If and I repeat If darkness is proven to be a woman would someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE instruct her on how to insert her feminine hygine products?
    This constant bitching can only be caused by abnormal pms and sideways insertion....
    One Bit of advice: GET OVER YOURSELF!! If you are as hot as ya think you are, your personality is offsetting it and makin ya one ugly troll of a bitch!
