    Default hustling couples?

    One thing I absolutely suck at is hustling couples for dances. (Side question: does your club--and/or do you--charge double for a couples dance?)

    Did a search, but found not much that was helpful here. So what tactics do you use to hustle couples?

    I personally never charge couples double. Usually it's one or the other getting the dance while the other watches. And I've found that when you don't charge double for the one dance, they usually buy another dance for the person who watched the last time. And when it comes to hustling a couple, ALWAYS focus on the woman. That way she won't feel intimidated by a dancer flirting with her significant other. And the man will get turned on by seeing his girl get hit on by another woman and it's almost guaranteed he'll want to see you in action with her.

    I agree that you should focus on the woman. Sometimes they can be hustled from the stage, as well ("I really need to play with you, right now!"). However, many (if not most) couples will only get 1 or 2 dances, for the novelty. I've had couples who bought more, but they're few and far between. I will approach couples, but I will approach a 30+ man sitting alone, or a group of guys, first.

    i dont charge extra. i agree definately focus on the girl tho - this will make them both happy.
    i actually dont approach or hustle couples - i only do it if they ask me. im a bit intimidated i guess and never know whether its a potential customer or just a girl who is there to make her man happy and bitch about strippers.

    one thing about couples:

    sure, many of them will onyl get 1 or 2 dances. however, i've had quite a few couples that i BANKED on. actualy, when my boyfriend and i go to strip clubs we always bring a lot to spend on a dancer, and we typicaly only want to spend it on 1 dancer. we like to do VIP. the only thing that sucks is we are generaly charged double. SOME PLACES only charge per girl in the room instead of per customer or they have a couples rate for the VIP, which is awesome.

    all that said, he and i have sat all night tipping girls we like and won't get approached ONCE. we leave with money in pocket and disapointed. some girls avoid couples too much.

    Although I never used to, I have decent success with most couples, and I think this is because I approach them FIRST amongst all customers (except regulars). And I do this now because women tend to look at strip clubs as a more emotional experience (half the time feeling a bit insecure if they are with their boyfriend/husband), and I want them to feel as though their needs are important and their presence within the club is welcome and respected.
    The biggest complaint amongst most couples that I've heard is that no one approaches them. They sit there by themselves most of the night because dancers don't know how to approach them. Coming over to them first can reverse that stigma. Act almost as though you are totally thrilled that there is a female customer in the club, and you can't wait to show them both the best time they've ever had. I guarantee this usually works.
    Although you should never ignore one half of the couple, always speak with the woman first. Introduce yourself to her first, use your opening line on her first and make sure she is comfortable and find out their "mission" for being there. It varies from her being curious about women to her wanting to watch her man get a dance from another woman. Once you find that out, you can figure out who to close the deal with. It could be her, him or both of them at once. Usually, their agenda is pretty transparent
    and they will lead you through the whole sale with little effort. Women are usually more tempted to buy right away too.

    And make sure you find out your club's rules for doing dances for couples. Some clubs will count the dance as two, even if one partner is just sitting nearby watching.

    I also want to add that you need to make absolutely sure that the woman is comfortable with her husband/boyfriend getting a dance, even if she was the one that wanted him to get one. I say this because there was this couple in my club one nite, actually it was two couples, and I got asked by a floorman to go up because a woman wanted to get her husband a dance. So I go up and I find out that this is her first time in a stripclub, and she's a very proper woman (bob haircut, business suit, etc.) So as I'm giving her husband a dance, she's watching me along with her friend and I notice them whispering back and forth. So I kept asking the husband if his wife was okay and of course he's like "yea, yea she's fine keep going." So as I sit down to grind on him she's in my face telling me to get the fuck off of her husband, grabs me by the arm and flings me halfway down the hall, then balls up my money and throws it at my head, which bounces off my head so now I feel like an even bigger piece of trash, and she was going to come after me but her husband grabbed her and screamed at her. I couldn't believe it. I was very clean with her husband, actually it was probably the shittiest dance I had ever done! So my point being to get alot of approval before diving into a dance with the man. Keep an eye on the wife/girlfriend because obviously that woman had no idea what she was in for when she wanted her husband to get a dance. She couldn't handle it.

    I started at a new club last night (I posted about it in a few places, check hustle hutto help me out) and the only dances I got were from women. One was a couple, the other was a work outting, where the female manager bought dances from some of the guys.

    Yes, noone approached them, except me. And I also sold a new girl her first LD ever lol, to come down with me, so I could 'show her' lol. The female manager sent her guys off in pairs with us.

    Okay - as the female part of a couple, here's the answer (assuming the woman wants to be there): Girls who get our money do the following: 1) come to the table, without me or hubby having to come and ask, 2) be friendly and nice. That's really all there is to it - at least for us. I have to admit that girls that are paying more attention to me get more dances because hubby doesn't really like dances much. Strange man. I still can't wrap my mind around why he wouldn't want a beautiful, soft woman wiggling in his lap - but I guess I'll just be grateful that he'd rather see a beautiful, soft woman wiggling in my lap.

    I personally never charge couples double, I think it's silly. I look it as I make 20 dollars per song I dance too so if I'm dancing for a couple or one person it's really not a different amount of work.

    My club charges double which I like and I don't. It does seem a bit unfair, but at the same time, if I sell 2 dances I get paid for 4. But then that also might make a couple who wants to try a dance more reluctanct if 4 min is going to cost them $40 instead of $20. I did my first couples dance last Sunday and it was great. They were celebrating their first anniversary so I was their gift. I always approach couples because I'm interested in why they are there, and there is that perk of getting paid double for the same amount of work, and as long as the girl is cool, I love dancing for women.

    The only other couples I have had experience with: one was only interested in meeting me and my boyfriend out of the club, grrrr. The girl was SO into me so I flirted with her, and told her I had never given a couples dance and she said she wanted to be my first. Then I had to get on stage and when I came back and talked to her husband as well, he said they weren't into getting dances because they would rather hang out in the real world. I was soo mad. She gave me her email address and begged me to contact her. No tip or anything. I guess they just see strip clubs as a way to meet girls, blah.

    Another couple I met was great, they are into getting to know me and spending money on me, but I haven't danced for them yet. The wife always gives me $20 just to sit and talk for a few minutes and they are really really nice and both very attractive. The last couple I met seemed interested in a dance when I met them during my tip walk, but when I approached them later, the husband was drunk and out of money and the wife made him leave. Grrrr.....

    My way of approaching them is asking who dragged who to the club. Usually, the girl says she really wanted to go, and sometimes she will say that he wanted to go but she was curious and wanted to see what it was all about. I will not spend much time talking to them, but immediatly let them know that I am available for a couples dance so they know I am there and interested if no one else approaches them all night.

    I can't stand dancing for couples... just... can't. Makes me very uncomfortable. Single women, I'm fine with though.

    Me personally don't like to approach couples. The woman makes me nerves like she doesn't want anyone to come around her guy. I have had pretty much good luck thought. Usually the couples approach me which makes it easier. If they tip you on stage well usually the girl would get the dance

    I agree. Although the majority of couples will only be good for one or two dances, it seems to me like you have better odds of selling and selling faster than to guys.

    For those who don't like to dance for couples, try to get them to separate. Either way you do it, try to pay more attention to the girl, from the second that you first approach. That will diffuse any possible cattiness.
