    Default Being Direct.

    Zoe_en_Australie were talking one day when she said to me once, "I've had my best nights when I was up front with a customer and didn't bullshit them."

    And I just leaned back and 'hmm' thought about it for a week and it's been steaming in my brain.

    There have been times where I've been so fricken FED UP that I was honest to a fault. BUT I still made money. Such as:

    "What do I get for $55?"
    "A lapdance."

    "Will you go home with me?"
    "Not in your life."

    "How much can I buy you for?"
    "You will never have enough money to make you attractive enough to sleep with."

    "Hey, will you talk to me (for free)?"
    "Look, time is money, you have no money so I'm not wasting my time. You don't work for free do you?"

    The other night I sold a dance because I said to a shop owner, "How would you feel if a bunch of people came to your shop, hung around and told you they weren't buying anything? You'd feel shitty and annoyed wouldn't you? So when are you getting a dance?"

    -----

    How does the honest and direct approach work for you?

    I've been doing this recently, too. Especially in response to requests for extras and/or dates. "Not on your life" and "You're kidding me", said bluntly but pleasantly, have actually worked fine. So far, I haven't had a negative response, and most will even continue to spend.

    I think many customers appreciate a little reality. Being direct also makes it plain that you're not to be fucked with. I used to giggle and be coy with these chumps, and it seemed to just egg them on.

    the other night some guy propositioned me, I reponded honestly to the point of being sarcastic and rude and he replied, "sorry, didn't know since you are the first hooker, er...I mean, stripper, that I talked to tonight."

    REALLY pissed me off

    so it backfired

    ^^^ And that's when you punch 'em in the face. "What, my fist is just telling you how it is!"

    I was being sarcastic... but isn't is what you REALLY wanna do?! -.- I would've really just coughed and said, "Oh sorry, you're the first asshole... I mean... customer I've talked to tonight, I didn't know either."

    >_>

    you know, I always think of a million things I wish I said/done after things happen....but it's always too late. I usually walk away like it didn't bother me and try to brush it off because if I let it get to me, it ruins my mojo.

    Awesome!

    I think the reason it hasn't backfired for me yet is that I haven't actually been angry or rude when I've been blunt. For me, the bluntness vents enough agression that I never actually get angry. But yeah, rudeness is usually met with rudeness, and that's a night-ruining kind of thing.

    Yeah the other day, in public daylight, some ass told me my shorts were too short and I looked terrible and should get longer ones (while another guy passed by and said BEST SHORTS I'VE SEEN ALL WEEK!)... I wanted SO bad to say "Yeah well at least I can get new shorts, your face'll always look like that." But alas, I huffed and walked away and said nothing... and only thought of it later. *sighsigh*

    Why do we always come back with the BEST retorts too late?

    I have this habit now of practicing retorts to men when I hear a comment a lot.

    "You look better without your glasses."
    "Thanks! You look better without my glasses too!!"

    "Your tits make you look 16."
    "Wow! I was just about to say your dick made you look three! Funny that!"

    But sometimes I get a new comment and I'm just thrown for a loop. >_<
