    Default Sort of a delayed update, but...

    Well, I finally started. I worked my eighth night last night. I am LOVING THIS JOB!!!!! Aside from the constant state of muscle/knee pain, this is the first job I have ever had that I don't hate going to. Look FORWARD to even. I have never made my own schedule, I have never really enjoyed a sales job before but the whole element of being responsible for how much money I make depending on how hard I work is just awesome to me now considering that I worked my ASS off at my last job, was stressed the -fuck- out constantly, and yet, on my worst night at the club so far ($80), I broke even from what I made at the crap job--BEFORE taxes!

    I seriously am having the time of my life. And I encourage new girls that are on the brink of starting to walk into it with a sense of fun and adventure, as all of the veterans here on this wonderful site have said. I mean yeah, your first night will be scary as hell. I was shaking on my first stage set, and wore my garter too low, and it kept falling down! All my money kept spilling out and I'm like scrambling to pick it up and then go back into sex mode. I'm sure it was way hot. But who cares! Play up the fact that this is your first night ever, I totally pulled the whole "ya wanna pop my cherry?" on my first table dance customers. And they ate it up! Have fun, love your sexy ass naked body, and know that they are loving watching you love it.

    And again I just want to state that this site kicks ASS. I really feel like I had a much better view of the environment going into it by reading the experiences of dancers that have been at it for years, as well as other new girls that asked questions I hadn't thought of. Yay for SW!

    Congrats on a great start into dancing and finding something you enjoy doing

    Sounds like you really pulled it all together for your first day managing to play off the new girl thing to hustle more dances.

    I'm pretty much in the same situation as you, my third week and I'm loving it. I have trouble with my feet aching, hopefully it will pass with time and experience (I'm praying!). Today was my best shift ever, totally banked. 420$ for a 6 hour day shift at 10$ dances. Before today I made between 200 and 280 per shift so this was a big difference, I'm still reeling!

    I completely agree that SW helped me TONS too to help me learns the tricks of the trade. It is by far and wide the best ressource for a newbie stripper and I sincerely appreciate and thank every member that takes the time to post and help others. One thing for sure, I will be sending in my SW "tip out" tomorrow in thanks to SW and to support this site which IMO is very deserving of some return for all it provides.

    Happy to hear that your enjoying yourself as much as I am with this new job

    Thank you ladies for your supportive words. I think the honeymoon is over. I think as I wrote that post it had somewhat dwindled. But last night I sort of went apeshit, over something irritating, yes, but not overly serious.

    So my club is no contact table dances, and the VIP is another table dance in a back room with a couch for the guy to sit on. Was doing a table dance for some customers that I had danced for before, and I'm in like the crab walk position in front of this one dude, and he blows cigarette smoke directly into my crotch. I snapped my legs shut, stood up, turned around, and starting dancing for his friend until the song was over. Collected my $ and moved on.

    Next table wants a dance. Do the dance, deal with the guy flicking his tongue all over the place while I'm in front of him, get up to leave and he says "gimme a kiss" and points at his cheek. Give him a peck and he turns his fucking head. I walked away. Didn't want to make a scene.

    And as I walked, every step I took I grew more and more pissed at the complete and utter disrespect of those fucking men. I grew so pissed that I ultimately punched a mirror (in front of the OWNER apparently) and stomped upstairs to the dressing room. Like a brat. And the girls upstairs were like "you should have said something, don't take that shit, you're bitching about smoke in your pussy? Wow, maybe you're not cut out for this, it could be so much worse". And that is true. I am very lucky that my club is so clean and that security is very tight, there are cameras everywhere, I do feel safe. I was just absolutely livid that these men came in there, and thought that in that setting, they could just treat a woman however the fuck for $10. I know that I will have to deal with a certain amount of bullshit, and less at this club than at many. But it's like, there's such a fine line between shaking it off, and being in a situation where a statement SHOULD be made. But I don't know that if I HAD said something, I could have held it together and not completely just gone off.

    I still do think it's empowering in a certain sense. The fact that the world is controlled by these men who sit in offices all day and make decisions and treat their female secretaries like shit, and yet they're so enslaved by the female form that they're willing to pay just to LOOK at it, yes, that is empowering. But the whole "degradation of women" argument I now know is not a complete myth.

    This is something I really wanted. I'm not going to quit, but the reality is setting in that this IS a job, and all jobs have something about them that sucks.

    Thank you again ladies for letting me use this forum as a venting ground. I haven't told many people, but I have told my parents, and it's going as expected. Complete silent treatment. And the people I have told can empathize, but it's nice to have a place where people KNOW.

    Congrats ! In less than a month you have discovered and acknowledged the 'reality' of exotic dancing. At the 'lowest common denominator', men patronize clubs with the embedded premise of exploiting the dancers, and dancers work in clubs with the embedded premise of exploiting these men ! Beneath the veneer, glamour, and social niceties, the business of exotic dancing boils down to a two-way competition between customer and dancer, with the customer trying to get the greatest amount of attention/mileage for the least amount of money, and with the dancer trying to get the greatest amount of money for the least amount of attention/mileage !

    Luckily, it sounds like the club you're working in at least 'stacks the deck' in the dancers' favor !

    PS don't assume that men being willing to pay just to LOOK at it is a permanent condition ! This is typically another 'honeymoon period' characteristic which is likely to fall by the wayside as returning private dance customers attempt to continuously 'up the ante'.

    Penny, awwww... I think you will find that you will develop a tough skin to these ridiculous antics... You will have to or there is no way you will be able to continue in this business... Believe me, almost every night I get some stupid comment, now I just let it roll off as I roll off with their $$$...

    Every once in a while I "snap" mostly I wind up venting in the dressing room so I can gather my composure and go back out amongst the wolves... For example some loser said to me the other day after repeated offending comments... "Well what do you know anyway, you're just a stripper." I calmly looked at him, smiled and said, "You're right, but when I leave, I take off my shoes and I can be me, sadly for you; you will always be an asshole..."

    You will get a thick skin... Now it reallly only bothers me when I have pms...

    Thank you both. You're absolutely right. Melonie, thank you for pointing out how returning customers "up the ante" as you put it. I actually have already experienced this to a certain degree, I have a semi-regular (?)--he's come to see me three times, so..?--but yeah, he tries to lay on a guilt trip about he's spent x amount of $ on me already and I haven't so much as told him my real name, just trying to gather a little bit of info here and there, and pressuring me to meet him OTC.

    Bella, nice comeback! And so true.....they can think whatever they want about a club persona, but they will never even meet the real person they think they are insulting.

    if a customer pisses you off, just walk away- just remember, there are other guys in the club that will give you more respect- you don't need the jerk's money- his money isn't going to make or break you- don't waste time on guys that don't respect you
