    Default Does your ethnicity play a part in making money?

    If I had a dollar for every time someone has told me that, "Guys love Asian girls. You must have made bank, " I'd be able to make the bank that I wish I had made while stripping. In reality, I've only had a few guys get lapdances/give big tips and specifically state that they likes Asian girls. Mostly I got a bunch of cultural misconceptions. Some guys will bow, make jokes about sushi or rice or yellow fever, show off the fact that they know one word in Korean, tell me about their army stays in Okinawa, or how much they'd like an Asian girlfriend/wife (the whole "Me ruv you rong time" stereotype, barf). I wish I had been making bank instead of trying in vain to get lapdances out of them.

    I've found out that your race can get you a few lapdances, especially if you're the only black girl in the club, but for the most part, your social skills and looks count more overall. Yeah, guys like to look and gush, but are still reluctant to give up $$$ and have to be convinced. Plus, some guys don't know how to act around different races and tactlessly base their perceptions and behavior on stereotypes and media portrayal. It's kinda like preppy frat boys meeting a black person for the first time in their life and saying, "What's up my nig**." I learned to brush it off and gently correct because many of the guys don't know any better, especially if the club was in an area that was pretty racially homogenous.

    However, if you've got it, flaunting it won't hurt. My stage name was Katana. I've known a Russian girl named Sasha, another Russian girl named Yelena, a couple Italian girls named Giovanna, a Greek girl named Athena, a Black girl named Chocolate, a Latina girl named Blanca, and a bunch of Asian girls with names like Lingmei, Thai, Shanghai, Mai, Miko, Asia, etc. However, make sure that your name is exotic/ethnic-sounding enough to show off your race, but simple enough that it can be remembered and pronounced by drunk guys.

    Hmm. I think perhaps you are working in the wrong club, bc in Vegas, it's true, guys do love Asian girls, and they do make bank. If someone has some stupid misconception about your ethnicity, I would just walk away from that, because that's a major warning flag that they are an ass. I mean, I'm Italian, and if someone started making mob jokes or asking me if I had any good recipies, I would pardon myself and leave. I have a friend who is Italian and also dances by Giovanna. It seems to work for her.

    I think confidence helps alot when working. I think VB is right about certain people making race jokes even if they are trying to be funny...its not. Those types that have those types of social skills lack alot more elsewhere and best to be avoided.

    I think ethnicity does play a big part in it. Sales skills are important but girls of certain ethnicities just seem to have to try way harder. I keep seein you ladies mention that blondes make money but here in LA it seems like most men, or at least the ones with more money, like darker girls.

    I can relate to this 100%!! Working in a locals club that was ALL white in and ALL white neighborhood, I got more guys saying, in one night, how hot they think black girls are and how sexy I am, than I've gotten my whole life. However, did they get lapdances? 9 out of 10 didn't, and I know it wasn't a money issue. And then the guys who hear that I live in Harlem (this club was in Long Island) and immediately respond, "Ooh, tough neighborhood, no wonder you have so much muscle, you need it to live there," when really, my neighborhood in Harlem is a very wealthy neighborhood and 75% of my neighbors are white. Not to mention that I've only lived there for a year; I grew up in white upper-middle class suburbia. Or the ones who hear a rap song come on and ask me if I know all the words when I've never heard it in my life! And those young boys who think they can spit the n-word around me all night long b/c they have the 50 Cent CD playing in their cars...

    Let me stop ranting... I could go on forever, sorry

    I don't think race should even be discussed in a strip club. I feel the same way about religion, politics and sometimes even sports teams. Conversation can get too heated in this situation so when someone brings up something like that, I just say I don't discuss things like that, let's just have fun.

    I was sitting with one of my favorite custies when a dancer comes over for a tip and says to him "You're my favorite black man!". I was apalled (as was my friend), and I lightened the situation by turning to him and exclaiming "YOU"RE BLACK???? I hadn't noticed!". He busted out laughing, she felt stupid and left.

    You just can't fix stupid....

    Hey KJ, I do not work in a strip club, but I do work as a private dancer. At my agency, we have an "asian ad" in the yellow pages, amongst many others. Now, I can't speak on strip clubs...but I know in the private dance world, asian girls DO BANK!!!!. My company alone get's about 8-10 calls (on a weeknight!) requesting asian girls. And that is just in my company. Sad truth is that we have no asians working for the agency So some..not all of the white girls try to pull it off like they are mixed Yea right...

    But yea, the whole "I've never been with a ________________" <--enter your race/ethnicity here) is getting kind of old. I've done bachelor parties and as soon as they see me, they are like " F^$k yea we got some caramel delight" WTF! but I just smile it off. Oh, and don't get me started on the use of the N word.

    Greggy, about your Harlem community. It just goes to show what some people do know. People really do go by what they hear from others, and what they see on the news. For some people, the only way to know about the "big bad ghetto" is to watch the news and "learn"..but the news only captures the negative. When was the last time you heard the news discuss something GOOD...for more than 1min?

    What exactly do you know about Harlem Greggy? My In Law family is from Harlan, however my hubby also has a black step-father. Please tell me about Harlan when it doesn't sound like you know nothing about it!

    We have a few Latinas in our club who pretend to be Asian because they make more money that way. I personally have a fetish for Asian women myself, but not for any of the reasons you named; I just think almond eyes and long silky straight dark hair are incredibly sexy. Anyway this probably varies from area to area, and it's been my experience that many guys like whatever they don't see all the time. Looking dramatically different from the other girls in the club usually draws attention to you.

    Yes and no, to answer your question. One of the most successful girls at work is Asian and over thirty. She is also incredibly intelligent and has a terrific attitude. We also have an Asian girl just starting out and sometimes she struggles. Saying that all Asians bank is about as arbitrary as saying all white girls or black girls make bank.

    I get a lot questions about my race. I sometimes tell 'em, sometimes I just say I'm an alien.

    I agree though certain things just should not be discussed as they are sensitive areas. I think its good to play up who you are. Sexy eyes, voluptious breasts, super natural tanned skin, very black hair, creamy milky skin....etc wtvr. I figure a guy is there to have fun why ruffle my feathers interjecting race in a negative way? Its great to promote a positive atmosphere.

    Where I work either they love the asian girls or they dont. I have heard one of the girls tell me that some guy just plain ol' thought she was ugly. She is actually very stunning looking. He actually told her this after he looked her up and down - then asked for another girl.

    Though it isnt about asian girls...one of the asian girls told me that sometimes guys pick them b/c they think theyll give them extras or be really dirty. She hears it all the time too. Shes not a dirty girl either.

    I work the Irish look to the max. Guys tell me they love my porcelin skin (I wish!) and red hair. They often tell me about some Irish girl they had a crush on in high school, who frequently was also named Colleen. Amazingly, nobody says anything stupid about it. For instance, nobody has ever asked me if I belong to the IRA or if I know how to set up a car bomb. (No on both counts, anyway!) THey do assume, however that I like potatoes (i do) corned beef (no) Bailiy's (yes) and Jameson (no). I once had some guy tell me he ould ONLY buy me a shot if it was Jameson, to prove I was really Irish. I took it!

    Yes, that is stereotype too. That asian women are submissive, and extremely sexual creatures.

    LMAO!!!

    I'm Irish/Italian and people keep asking me how that could be since Irish and Italian people usually don't mix. Never heard this one...

    Others tell me that it makes for one hell of a temper! They got that one right!

    I don't know exactly what you mean by this? Do you seriously want me to go into an explanation of the diversity, culture, stereotypes, facts, gentrification and all that?

    I work the Russian-Ukrainian thing hard, but that's not a race, its just a nationality, background. I've lived in Texas most of my life. But hey, whatever sells....men like exotica and variety!!! When my hair was dark, I sometimes would say I was Venezuelan just for my own shits and giggles since my spanish is very good too. Its all part of the game ladies.

    I have to answer no for me. In Queensland people used to see me at work and exclaim stuff like "Exactly what we were looking for, a true blue Aussie girl!" Which never failed to make me smile. - My strong English accent never failed to surprise them either, oops! (-: White people always stop me to ask how I get such a good even tan. When I say it's inherited because I'm black they look at me in disbeleif. Black men have told me I dance like a black woman which is also pretty funny and white Americans who come in often say stuff like "I never seen dreadlocks on a white girl before". Occasionally in Sydney or Melbourne where the climate is slightly cooler and people generally less tanned than in Queensland people ask about my ethnic background but hardly anyone guesses it anymore. I'm not sure when exactly I turned white but it's abit of a shame as I'm sure it would be to my advantage to look blacker at work. We do get a reasonable amount of customers who come in and ask for black and Asian girls and clubs here more often than not don't have any.
