I think some people in general tend to lie about their salaries. Somtetimes they are the ones who are flat broke . I get really turned off when a man starts talking about how much $$ he makes right off the bat.![]()

lol, Pamela!
I don't care what the others make, as long as I don't feel like they cheated me (it's happened by them saying they give a better dance or catching the drunk ones as they are coming over to me from the ATM, grrrrrrr) that's not fair, but it happens.
Honestly, I don't want to know what anyone makes and I don't want them to know what i make. Let's all be business equals and make money without screwing eachother over.
I always say I had a bad night if everyone else did, why should I be different. If they had a good night I smile and say nothing. I don't think we really want to know what others made as long as it is less than us so I say pretty much nothing.
Although, there is ONe girl I love to death so when she makes money I tell her that if I didn't love her so much I'd be pissed, he he. She's one of those sweethearts that doesn't try to cheat anyone, she makes her money and is proud of it. I love that type of confidence and honesty.
Please don't lick me, it tickles..
I always just say I did ok. I dont like 2 brag or whine as neither has any positive result when u get down 2 it..... but yeah I KNOW chicks who lie about making more & less... I never got the point of it myself

Yeah when people ask me how I did or how much I made, I would usually give a vague answer such as "I did decent" or "I've done better." My one friend(who didn't make much money at all) would always ask me and her other close dancer friends how much they made, and it used to annoy some of the girls. I'd always answer, "yeah, I did decently" and she'd pry further, so I'd respond with "Eh, somewhere between $100 and $500" which is a broad range LOL. I think my friend was TOO honest. For example, on days that she sunk ships by only making $35 or $46, she would tell people about it! And then she wondered why people would kinda offhandedly say "{stagename} doesn't make much money" in a snooty way, after she said that she'd only made $46! When I had bad nights, I would complain about the night "sucking" but I wouldn't specify how much I made...unless it was in complete confidence to some of my OTC friends/boyfriends. Same with real good nights, I was vague when discussing them too because I didn't want girls to get jealous and try to rob me later.



I think of it like the Gambler song. **"Don't count your money, while sitting at the table."**
I never discuss money. EVER. With anyone. I don't like it when people tell me how poor they did, how great they did. Either unsolicited explaination can and often makes me feel bad.
Our Bouncer will try and bait me with, "Having a great night, Montana." and so on... I just smile and say, "everynight."
I never give out a $ amount... unless it's an absurdly small amount and I'm trying to get out of paying housefees (in which case I just show the manager my pile of $1s and look really sad). We had an employee meeting a few weeks ago that made me feel better... one manager commented that if you had a bad night (i.e. less than $300), then... and right then, several girls (including the veterans) shot him down for that comment. Made me feel better, since 300+ isn't terribly common for me.
i think the veteran girls who have clientale built up tend to average double to triple what a newer girl makes...
This question first made me respond with...Well, DUH!
I lie about my earnings all of the time. usually I'll say something like "It could have been better", Implying that I had a crappy night. But it always can be better.
I've lied by not saying a word, too. I will bring in all my cash from the previous 4 or 5 shifts, and add money to my purse as the night goes on. I do this to piss off the nosey girls that try to check out how much I'm making while I'm straightening out my bills or paying tip out or something.![]()
Then when they say something like "you had a great night!" I can honestly say to them "It could have been better!"
Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!





More girls lie than are honest. 7 out of 10 dancers in North America AVERAGE less than $150 a night after tip outs. Many girls talk about their good nights but not their bad.
If these girls are doing so well, why do most of them have nothing to show for it? Why don't they have the same financial security as men who honestly earn what these girls "claim" to earn?
I absolutely think so. Most girls tell you about thier best night and make it sound like they make that every night. I do have something to show for my booty shakin' though. I own my car outright and own a house ,have savings and keep a stash in the bank box. A lot of girls just blow thier money on dumb shit or worse, dumb guys!





Good for you Twister in AZ. You are an excellent stripper role model.![]()
Thank you !![]()
Yes- I would have to say, they do lie. I know if I had "just a normal, bla" night I wouldnt lie. Id tell them the exact dollar I made. Or if I had SUCH a shitty night wear I only made 100 or 20$ .. I wouldnt lie, Id probably complain to all my girls, and show them what Ive made, as I complain to them, lol. . BUT the ONLY times I WOULD lie, is when I would have an above average night or just a kick-ass night. So, I guess, if I made over $700 on a week day or over $800 on a weekend and say i made 600 or 400 depending how dead it was. I would lie to the girls I didnt know well. Or Id lie to the girls who were having a really shitty night because I wouldnt want them to feel bad. (but if I still danced today, I would never lie because every night would be an average BLA night or a reallllly shitty night in my area! The money is not like it used to be) : (



totally relate to this 100%. I think its rude to ask someone else how much they make, and it's always wise to not brag about how much you make as, yeah the girls who don't make alot tend to get jealous and then other peoples money would go missing.Originally Posted by PhillyDancer1982





This girl was constantly bragging about how she made OMG1 $1200 last night and ONLY $800 the night before... but of course this was the same girl that got that "$300 perfume... y'know, $300... THREE HUNDRED DOLLAR PERFUME" from customers and that, "I SAID $200 DRESS!!!" And would CONSTANTLY repeat the prices of everything she owned. One day I got her pay slip by accident. $35!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA XD

dancers lie about everything at least the one's i know do, how much they make, the cars they drive, how good thier man is in bed. & ive noticed the older dancer are the worst at least were im at.
See I think it's really easy to tell how many money girls have made that night, between how many vips they have done, how hard you see them hustling, or if they are just sitting in the dressing room all night. I only work 2-3 nights a week so I hustle as hard as I can those nights and I always make good money. I don't tell people about it or really care who thinks I am lying, but it works out for me most of the time. We all have bad nights, but some people just get luckier than others.
I personally always downplay what I make. I know I make better than average money but it's really no ones business but my own. I never ask and I never tell. I might pose a vague question such as "Have an Ok night?" just to be social and when asked by someone I'll respond, "It was alright". I think the worst thing any dancer can do it walk around complaining to everyone about how shitty her night was and how she isn't making any money. No one wants negativity. I'm always positive regardless how I'm doing and I really believe this is why I do well.
I personally think the whole industry is basised on lies. the dancer lie about how much they make a night. the clubs lie in thier (advertisments )about how much you can make if you dance at thier club, & the same goes for the escort & adult film industry. its all 1 big lie & hustel... it beats the hell out of working a 9 to 5 job behind a desk. but lets face it none of us are going to get rich doing this!!. ive done well in the bizz,, but even if i made 20 dollars a night id still do it. casue i love being on stage & everything about the bizz. i think the days of doing this strickly for the cash are over. it become such a highly competative industry, that if your doing this to get to make money & dont like the job. you wont last in the bizz.
I know ladies lie about how much they make mostly for reasons of ego and pride. Let's think about it. Who wants to admit to anyone that they had to pull their clothes off for free, then beg a bunch of assholes for lap dances and not have made any money for doing something that most of the public would consider utterly humiliating? You have to make yourself feel important some how.
Now there are some women that make over $500 a nite consistently, but they are the extras girls. Of course, they are going to deny doing extras, but I've been able to put two and two together.




Madame Liz... AGREED!
THANK YOU ( SILKY) for agreeing with me & i totally agree with(FIERY-LADY) too!!. it seems that in this indsutry the only pople that end up winning & on top when it comes to making all the money are the( clubs/escort agencys & adult film production companies), girls we need to get smart-save our tips & invest & own something!!! not as a performer , it seems thats the only way to really make a buck in this crazy bizz. huggs.kisses & god bless you all (MADAM LIZZ)

Our VIP rooms have one way windows where the dancers can see in from the dressing room, and theese girls are clean girls who work hard and make good money. We also had a new girl start a week ago and she seems to work a few hours of her shift, exchanges phone numbers or writes down an address of a customer, then all of a sudden she "has a headache" or some other ailement and has to leave a few hours early. Makes me go HMMMM?!???
