    Default Question about tipping

    Normally in an SC I like to sit at a table that isn't very close to the stage. I find stage dancing to be more attractive when viewed from a distance, especially if the stage is elevated. When I'm sitting alone there's no problem, I walk up to the stage and tip each girl while she's dancing. But this seems awkward when there's a dancer at my table with me. What's the proper protocol in this situation?

    I agree with JZ. I'll say something like "Excuse me a sec, I'm going to tip so and so" Thus far I havent had any negative reactions.

    This might work OK if the same dancer stays on stage for a fairly long time. But what do you do when there's a steady stream of new dancers coming on stage after every song or two? Do you keep excusing yourself over and over again? Sounds awkward to me. Ladies, what do you expect a customer to do when you're sitting with him?

    My customers usually bring me to the stage with them. They hand me some cash and they say, "let's go have some fun". And we do.....

    To be honest my philosophy is to tip any dancer who I'm watching. When I'm alone than I pretty much walk up and tip every dancer. However, when I'm sitting with my favorite dancer, I become engaged in my conversation and time with her and I pretty much stop watching the stages. Then there are only a few other dancers who I might get up to show some appreciation to. In those cases I'll use similar methods as FBR and Vaden mentioned.

    Verfolgung, that's exactly what I usually do. When my regular and I sit and talk I don't even notice who's on stage. But when one of her friends gets onstage and she wants to watch, I'll hand her a couple of bucks and we'll both go up and tip the girl.

    Default Re:Question about tipping

    If the club is empty or no one is tipping I'll usually tip the dancer on stage unless its some girl thats a bitch or I've been warned to stay away from.

    Sometimes I get so engrossed in the conversation that I forget where I am...focused. But even then if it is slow my friend will say lets tip so and so OK? My answer always is sure since she makes a show of tipping the girl on stage which always seems to liven things up in the club.

    How about tipping the lady that is sitting with you and entertaining you? Then when she leaves go back to tipping at the stage.

    I love it when guys hand me even a couple of bucks for my time. It makes me feel valued and appreciated.

    If I'm sitting with her and having a conversation for any amount of time she's getting usually drinks, dances, and tips on stage when she rotates up. Plus my adoration and sincere focused attention. I think everyone wants to feel special sometimes or appreciated.

    Paris tipping the gal or gals at my table is a given. Money for conversation is SOP (which is probably stupid but thats just me).

    I've been getting tipped for conversation, company, and back rubs lately. I've also been getting tipped on top of dances. Don't know, but I'm doing something right!

    I made a trip to the south of town club this afternoon to see DJ. Theres this dancer Miss G whom I like and and turned out was working today. Anyways, I'm knee to knee with DJ sitting at the bar enjoying her SS (shes a former stripper and knows how to chat me up). I missed Miss G's trip to the stage and failed to tip her...boy did I hear about that afterwards LOL For a sec I started to get a WTF attitude but then decided to chill. I tipped her a $10 on her next set which was probably retarded but I felt guilty It maintained the peace but I felt so used LOL

    Something else I've noticed. When I'm sitting with a girl, usually far from stage, and it's her turn on stage, I will walk up to the stage a couple times to tip her. After I do that usually some other guys will too, even though they haven't done so before with other girls. Don't know if it's because the girl I usually sit with is very special or because I set an example, but either way I'm glad to take credit for it from my lady friend. And yes, I always tip a girl who sits with me for any length of time, in addition to buying her drinks and lunch and several private dances. I can't believe there are guys who don't.

    She "leaves?" I've heard rumors about that concept, but rarely seen it. Rotation yes; leave, no.

    I'm with FBR on tipping for conversation. Not only is it SOP, it's respect, manners and class all rolled into one.

    The ladies at my home club do a walkaround, which makes rail tipping an option (you can tip them well when they stop by instead), and allows you to focus on hosting and tipping the girls at your table. Sometimes a girlfriend is having a bad night, and my ATF will say, "let me tip her," so a quick $20 or $40 will usually make her feel better. My ATF looks a LOT better tipping the dancer on stage than I do, and with any luck, they will whip up the crowd, too.

    Good Call The Other! I do not mind at all if a guy wants to tip each and every girl on stage while we are talking. Most of the time if he says something, I offer to tip her instead. Most of you guys seem to get a bigger kick out of that anyway.

    But don't feel rude at all for telling the other girl you are still tipping the stage shows.

    BTW, I love your avatar The Other, my heros have always been Connery's! Well at least James Bond anyway.

    I don&#039;t usually tip for conversation per se, unless I&#039;m in a club where there are no private dances. If I let a girl sit with me for any length of time, I will always buy several private dances, and usually tip on top of that. I&#039;m sure she understands that the tip is for the overall good experience, including the conversation.

    Me too. "Favorite Bond" is as good a personality test as any Rorschach ink blot test. I also share a name with Connery (his first is my middle) and there are other similarities between his fictional character&#039;s life and mine (a few are real, but most are just ironic or tongue-in-cheek).

    Bond&#039;s behavior in a casino (not necessarily elsewhere) is also a reasonably good model for SC behavior. The guy is respectful to a fault, has an excellent sense of style and a devilish sense of humor. He also tips generously. Always. Look for it -- it&#039;s as characteristic of the early Bond as the Vodka Martini shaken, not stirred.

    Oh, speaking of avatars, Kitana, your angel reminds me of my nickname for my soon-to-be four-year-old little girl, born in 2000: "Angel of the Century."

    I agree with the both of you besides going to escape life&#039;s problems I enjoy the company so if I don&#039;t wish to get a dance from her always tip her for her company.

    One thing that I tend to do, especially when I actually like the girl on one level or another, is that I'll ask the guy if he's got a dollar I can give the girl, and turn it into a lil show in and of itself. I'd say that 75% of the time, this makes the guy enjoy things sooo much he wants to go get at least one dance, if not more.

    These girls know why you're there and if they're going to get offended? Teamwork tends to help in bars, and they should realize that. Ask them to help you tip the girl(s) on stage. It hwlps break ice sometimes as well.
