I Have Been Told Lots Of Dancers Tell Customers Things Like "My Electricity Is Out", "I Need To Feed My Kid" Etc. I Think That Is Pathetic Even Though I Hear It Works. Is This Common?

I'm sure it works - guilting people into money, and no offense to the girls that do it, but I would just feel like I should be standing on a street corner if that were the message I wanted to be sending. Guys go to clubs to have a good time, enjoy themselves in a stress free, fantasy world. Hearing about bills and pressures and debts are doubtfully what turns them on. It might get you a dance, but it will doubtfully get you repeat dances, or regulars - so it might get them more "yes" answers on the instant gratification side - but I think they might be hurting their money in the long run. I know we're there for the money - but if you put satisfying the customer pretty high up on the priorities it will probably increase the money flow. I wouldn't put my bet on guilt.
Yeah, I agree with Pooka. A definate no-no. Guys don't want to hear about your kid or your bills. You're selling a fantasy. In Fantasyland, none of that stuff exists.
I personally guilt trip guys into dances alot, but I don't try to be pathetic.
If the guys are unsure whether to buy a dance or not I put up a cute puppy face (which I have been perfecting since I was 5 years old) and usually they go for it. Afterwards I act like Christmas just happened, ofcourse.
I was havin such a hard time on Friday.... I always avoid talking about my son and school but I broke my tooth (on top of my pathetic life...) so it was hard to have normal convo without sounding pathetic..... LOL. In reality my life has been beyond pathetic lately.
My sons name is tattood on my back so people will ask and then sometimes they will want to talk family/kids but otherwise I try and avoid using my son to make money.
Haven't yall ever met Captain Save a Ho?
This tactic should only be used on this species of PL.
i think its desperateness... i know its hard sometimes if you have a lot of bills piled up and you need some good money making nights, but my piece of advice is to dance like you don't need the money... customers would rather get dances from a smiling happy person rather than someone who is all emotional and sad bc of their financial situation....



Captain Save a Ho! Avacheetahs, I am LOL! I haven't heard that in forever!
Please Lord, send me a Captain Save a Ho today!!!
In any event, I was just talking about this sort of thing with one of my massage clients. He typically visits a more popular large establishment, but the girl there was bothering him with her problems. So now he won't return, and has committed to me as a client (he has already become a repeat). He likes it better that I am a solo practioner that doesn't upsell the client, send him a different lady every time or make him wait up to half an hour in the waiting room because another therapist/client is running behind. I also practice "do not speak unless spoken to." This is probably not a good rule for dancers, but an excellent rule for massage therapist.
I would suggest in a dancer's case, if you have nothing to talk about than your own problems, then don't talk at all. Let him blabber on. Every man wants to talk about themselves anyway.
Then ask for the dance.![]()
Just my .02





When I hear that sort of line from a dancer, I instantly go deaf, (or at least pretend to).
But there are a lot of guys who come to the club with some sort of provider complex who are easy prey for sob stories, so yeah, I'm sure on them its quite effective, at least until they realize several hundred, possibly thousands of dollars later that they still aren't going to get any. Thereafter, things can tend to turn very ugly.

honestly dont do it if its not true.... i wouldnt mind helping out a bit in exchange for a dance but if your being dishonest about it then i would not want to be around you. Although i wouldnt know if your lying or not, plus this has never happened to me.





i see this happen with the "pathetic" girls all the time. what amazes me though, is that they always snag another sucker right away. i can't believe how many guys are out their with that complex. even if i -am- going through hard times, i don't bring it up to customers.Originally Posted by doc-catfish
A- they don't come there to hear about my problems
B- i don't enjoy talking to strangers about my problems anyway
C- it would make me feel like a beggar, and i -work- i don't beg.
i think the only time i've ever brought up personal stuff is with regulars i've known for a very long time. even then i don't really get into it and i certainly don't beg for money. i'm just more likely to tell them if my car broke down or i'm sick because they know me and ask/want to know how things are going.

This is the sort of thing than is so annoying that it can drive a customer out of the club early. Money lost to everyone.
But it seems to be the only hustle technique some of the dancers have.
