    Yes. There are also more girls scrambling to make their rent. I try to avoid the end of the month if I can.

    It's a fact. Many girls scrambling to make rent. Lots of customers don't get paid till the 1st, so don't come in or come in and sit around nursing a beer all night. Blech. For this reason I always arrange to have rent paid a week early so at least I don't have to sweat that. Tonight sucked big sweaty ones for me. Can't wait till the week is over!

    Yep. The guys don't have money cuz they haven't gotten paid yet and/or have to pay their own bills by the first. Most the girls are scrambling to make rent, so it makes for a tough situation. I generally tend to avoid working the end of the month, but I'm travelling right now so I'm working. This weekend has actually been pretty good so far

    I tried to find the article in which I originally read about this topic, but alas, the site it came from (Sacramento's Big Tomato Strip Club Guide) is no more.

    Anyway, the gist of the article was that no matter what time of day, day of week, week of month, or month of year...the case can always be made for "why is it so damn slow in here"?
    • at the beginning of the month, everyone's just paid their rent, utilities, etc...so they have no money to spend; but at the end of the month, when they have money they can't spend it because they need to pay the rent, utilities, etc.
    • at tax season...the first three months of the year are slow because everyone's doing their taxes, but then April 15th rolls around and now they have to *pay* their taxes...so they have no money to spend
    • in the summer time...hardly anyone's around because they've all left town on vacation...and those that stick around, do so because they have no money to spend
    • in the holiday season (which starts around Labor Day these days)...everyone's saving up for Halloween candy, Thanksgiving turkey, Christmas presents, and New Year's plans...then when they've blown all their dough (and then some) on all the above...no one has any money to spend
    Etc, etc...you get the idea.

    T_O, that only applies to the chics who can't hustle and are perpetual bitchers.

    For the rest of us, there are certain specific times when it's almost always slow, and certain specific times when it's almost always busy, and random times that could be anything. End of the month is almost always crappy - too many girls working and not enough spending custies. Tax time is usually crappy because the money custies are paying their taxes. February can be good because it's long enough after the holiday season that people have money again, plus the lower income dudes are getting big tax refund checks Summer in most places is generally slow because it's family vacation time. Fall/winter is often busier because of convention season in bigger cities. First weekend of the month is almost always a good one for me

    Tonight was the worst night I've seen in a club maybe ever, all things considered:

    Friday night, porn star feature in the house...by midnight, there are maybe 20 guys (and 17 girls). So so sad.

    Feature costumes for sale!

    The business and the economy are not what they used to be. So revise your expectations and sharpen your hustle/patience level. It's done wonders for me and allowed me to "pull money from the sky" when there's less dudes than girls.

    I have to compete with other girls for guys saving up for candy and turkey?

    I'm so screwed....

    I'm with bridgette. There are slow times, but all that means is more girls complaining in the dressing room and fewer small-time spenders in the club (the exception is summer when guys are physically away, not avoiding the clubs because of financial reasons.) tax season can bite, but that doesn't affect Average Joe With $100 In His Pocket since he's probably getting a small refund from his blue collar job. White collar guys are the ones paying a lot of tax on their big incomes.

    So there are still money guys at the end of the month. And then there are guys that use credit cards and don't care what day of the month it is. There's still money if you can deal witha 25-50% influx of girls (and I can).

    But it depends on your hustle. You have to be aggressive and be able to make all your money off one or two guys.

    eh, no. NO!!


    Truth be told, i've never seen this to be true. When girls talk like this, i think: Ok, no one is making money anyway cause it's the end of the month (and a full moon, and blah blah, and god knows.., etc.) and it motivates you to slack and feel ok for not making money - just psychological.

    Most customers who come into clubs must think they have a little money to throw around and I'm sure they've accounted for this regardless if it's the 1st, 15, or 30th of the month. I really don't buy in to it. Truly, it hasn't affected my income.

    There is the truth of it ! With the exception of super-upscale clubs in really big cities that are frequented by the rich and famous, corporate execs', bankers, brokers, attorneys etc. who consider $1000 to be pocket change, virtually all clubs that depend on 'regular guy' customers are discovering that strip clubs and lap dances are 'luxury items' in the 'regular guy's' budget. With the cost of virtually everything from taxes to insurance to medical to food and energy to credit card interest going up, and with the 'regular guy's' paycheck staying the same, it should come as no surprise that the 'regular guys' are cutting back on strip club and lap dance expenditures in order to pay for more 'necessary' items in their budget.

    I've actually had a pretty good end of the month weekend. Lots of girls took off to party tonight and there were actually alot of custies in all weekend. I've managed to keep busy all shift each night and find some dudes to spend some decent cash. Tonight I couldn't run fast enough to get to all the dudes that were begging for dances and every time I danced for someone there'd be at least 3 other dudes drooling and trying to signal me to come over. hehe. I fucken love nights like that

    I had it similar this month, better end than beginning and customers more free spending, though I've noticed I find it very difficult encouraging most blue collar men to have a dance/time with me and I only ever succeed with white collar/business types... Wonder why? Maybe I'm too posh

    last two weekends were really good, and yesterday my customer and I both felt happy we'd had a fun night, really works good mojo when you have had a good experience *and made your money. I haven't been doing this long enough to have spotted a trend, but there were less girls last night, less customers and it really just came down to me and my ability to persuade...

    Yup.. It’s all about that mindset, and no matter how slow it is. When it is slow for me I see it like fishing where It can be slow, but if I keep my energy up and stay alert with my net out I could still bring in a good amount or a few big ones that make up for it.. But if you get bummed and you stop paying attention you will miss opportunity when it comes by which is why if you allow yourself to get pissed when it is slow you will not be in the right state of mind to come across well to make the sale when you need to. Either way it wont’ pay to get worked into a bad state…. And unfortunately some girls let a few bad days carrying into their whole week.. Which means they are on a roll except in a bad way instead of a good way…
