    The 'maybe later' line..

    I am so sick and tired of getting the 'maybe later' line when I ask someone if there would like to go for a dance. What do you say to that? I've tried "Well ill come back when your ready for me" but 10 minutes later he walks into the lap dance room with another dancer!
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Re: The 'maybe later' line..

    I'll just move on to the next guy then. I don't have time to stand around and wait till the terd's ready. If he's not ready, well, there is somebody else in the club THAT WILL BE. I also don't take it personally if they go with another girl. You gotta learn how to deal with rejection from some custys...that's one of the first things I learned.

    I usually say something like "yeah ok, if you can catch me later! I'm always busy." Sometimes they'll buy then but usually they're just not interested in buying at that moment or from you. Either way, time to move on to another target. I rarely if ever notice the guys who "maybe later" me after I've left them because I'm too busy working the rest of the room

    Exactly. You also have to remember that some men (in fear of hurting our feelings) would rather say "maybe later" than just being straight up, and letting you know you're not his type, or that he doesnt' want a dance from you. When a guy tells me "maybe later" I say, "oh ok then well what would be a good time for me to come back for you so we can get that dance" Usually they say 10-15min if I'm not busy I will go back to them and get the dance. But if they are unsure of when they want me to come back (ie. I say, I can come back in 10-15min would you be ready then) talking about, "oh I dunno we'll see when you come back" then I know they are on that bs and I don't waste my time with them anymore.

    I usually use the "well hopefully it doesn't get too busy and we get to have that dance later, I'll come back when i get the chance" *big smile - exit*

    I sometimes see the maybe later line as a brush off line really ....*sigh.. Slump*

    usually I make a joke out of it.
    him: "maybe later.."
    me: "oh, when your more drunk? and then you wont remember my name is the morning? *laugh*"

    If I laugh at their poor attempts to put me off, or make some comment like that, they usually will remember me next time around and I have a better chance at getting the dance.

    Think of it this way....If he is saying "maybe later" and you do come back to him, it is highly doubtful he would buy more than one anyway. These "maybe later" guys are usually cheap, and sometimes will only buy 1 dance just so you don't keep coming back to see if they are ready. Your time is better spent on bigger fish!

    If someone tells me to come back later and I have time, I'll always follow up. I'd say I get dances out of it 3 out of 5 times. That's pretty decent odds, IMO.

    Some guys don't want to be accosted the second they sit down. I can certainly understand why a man would like to sit for awhile, take in the scenery, and then decide who he wants dances from. Makes perfect sense to me.

    Yes, I like that line: "If you can catch me later! I'm always busy." It implies that you are a hot commodity in demand. Guys LIKE girls that are popular and in demand. I've noticed that on nights that guys either saw me go in and out of the lapdance room very frequently, or didn't see me for a bit and assumed I was really busy tending to other customers, they were more likely to ask me for a lapdance. And then on nights where it was kinda dead and guys noticed me working the room with no success(or saw me walking back and forth, thinking of what my next move would be), they would be less likely to buy dances from me. Guys seem to like what's in demand.

    In my opinion, I think the "maybe later" line is a lame excuse for a guy not buying a dance. Yes, it sucks but usually a guy that says "maybe later" is really thinking "No, because you're not my type and/or I have someone else in mind." I had a friend who would persistently go back to the "maybe later" guys later and persisted until they (one by one) agreed to dance with her. Perhaps friendly persistence worked for her, but I always found it better to take the "maybe later" line as a hint that the guy is disinterested, and to move on and stop wasting my time.

    In a few occasions, some of the "maybe later" guys would later change their mind and agree to a dance with me...after seeing me go in and out of the lapdance room very frequently with other guys! Perhaps they saw that I was in demand, and that made them change their mind? Who knows...

    This is why I use the "if you can catch me" line posted above. It gently pushes the few who actually *are* interested in a dance to make the decision now, and sometimes I do get the dance right then. And for those who weren't interested in the first place, it makes a nice exit so I can move on to others and forget about Mr Maybe Later. I never go back to those guys unless they actually come get me later, because I'm too busy concentrating on other, better targets

    Always follow up, especially if they say that and they really liked your stage show. Sometimes those guys want to see the wide variety of women but they really did like you. In those cases, I'll go freshen up, talk to one or two more guys and re-approach him within 8 songs... oooh, especially if he's just been unmercifully hustled by unattractive girls, I'll come back to him with a laid back, "Hey, I'm all cooled off from that hot stage set, you're ready for those dances now too, right?" It's a neutral line (but with a commanding 'now' and 'right' at the end) and it's only 5 seconds of your time that might really pay off.

    When they walk off into the dance room with another girl... she might have just struck while his iron is hot, as it were.

    I'll add that I'll bet Bridgette's club is a lot bigger than mine (40 girls on a packed night, 8-12 on a slower one), so it's easier to remember those 2 or 3 guys without wasting your time searching for them... you can just see them from anywhere in the room.

    ^That's a good point. The way the place often gets crowded, combined with my poor vision (even with my glasses it's hard to see well in the dark), means I lose people easily. Basically if a guy's not within 2 tables (and they're all really close together) of where I am, I won't see him. And I stay busy enough that I usually don't care anyway

    In a smaller club I might go back to some of the maybe laters if I'm not busy, but I'd never wait around on those guys regardless of the situation. No dance now? Ok I'm off to get it from someone else! I do occasionally get some of those maybelater guys coming up to me later to ask for a dance....

    One thing, it never fails that a chick hits me up right after i walk in. Hit me up the SECOND time you see me, not the first. The first time you see me chances are i just got there, and i wanna scope the place out a lil bit. So in THAT case 'Maybe later" actually does mean "Maybe later."

    Sometimes. You chicks prolly know when i'm talking about.

    I only add this because it never fails that a girl hits me up twenty seconds into being there.



    EDIT: Thought i'd mention that sometimes, thought rarely, miss 20 seconds on the get-go gets me into the private area, BUT she doesn't get a lot out of me. She hustles and flirts like crazy and while i'm into it, i'm steady thinking about the rest of the girls. So while she may make some cash, she might get a double at the most. Seriously, as far as *I* am concerned the second sight hustle is probably best. I hate saying "Maybe later" (especially after coming across stripperweb), so often i wind up explaining myself "Look, i just got here... Just wanna check things out a bit." Never really had a problem and the girls never did seem to mind too much.

    Hope that helps.

    Respond to "maybe later" with a pretty smile and a pleasant "Okay, when would you like me to come back for you?" slightly emphasizing "when". Many of them will respond with a definite number, like "10 minutes". Cheerfully agree that you will come back if you aren't busy. Now it's in his head that in 10 minutes, he is getting a dance, because in a way he has asked for it.

    It's true that "maybe later" often means no, but it doesn't hurt to come back and check if it only takes a few seconds (meaning, if it's not the type of guy who sucks you into a conversation that never ends). Always follow up.

    I just say, " I'll try to get back to you later although I get really busy as the night goes on. Have a good time!" Then I try to get to someone else before the next song starts.

    When I say, "Maybe later," I really mean exactly that.

    It might mean that it's early and I haven't even got my first drink, it might mean that I haven't seen the whole rotation yet so I don't know which girl I want most to dance for me, it might mean I have picked a dancer but have not yet talked with her.

    Sometimes it turns out that the dancer I want gets off stage, sits down with her friends or boyfriend, and I never get a chance to talk with her. In that case, yeah, I am really hoping you will be back and ask again. Or, maybe she is so popular she never gets to me. Then, I will be waiting for you to stop by again later.

    To the 'maybe later' line I say:

    "I would love to come back later, thank you. What's your name? Well, relax and enjoy the scenery, my name's ___, I'll check back with you in a little while."

    This is really effective, mostly because a positive attitude and kindness is sort of surpising in a strip club, thus they will both remember and like you.

    When you're exhausted and irritable and tired of hearing that line it's fun to camp it up, be sarcastic, and do something like this:

    "Oh, I would just LOOOVE to come back later, thank you SO very much. I'm just so horny and was hoping I could writhe all over you right now, well, buh-bye!"

    This is also quite effective. While many 'maybe laters' are just a wishy washy way of saying no, many do mean just that, and by making a positive connection at first you can almost always turn it into a sale later. Also, always act like you're on your way to somewhere fun and wonderful even if they don't buy a dance, don't just turn away with a scowl. That makes a difference too.

    One custies point of view here....this is the best approach I have seen in this thread. In my case, "maybe later" would mean maybe later (although I don't think I ever actually say it this way).

    Asking "when would you like me to come back?" is a line that would not work on me. I am there to relax and have fun. That line would be a turn off as I would feel I was being pushed. Plus, I may not really have an answer at that point.

    The asking of my name and the introduction of yourself is very polite and professional. I would remember that. The attitude in the above quote would score a lot of points with me as a customer. If I was marginally attracted to your looks, this may be the approach that would give you my business.

    Hope this helps in some way.

    If business is good....go for it girl! If you just say "I will check back later" without adding a specific time (like "I will come back in 15 minutes") then you leave more possibilities open. You can go spend the next two hours with guys that are ready to buy and after they are done you can still stop by and say, "Wow, has it been busy. How are you? Ready for that dance yet?"

    If you tell him you will be back in 15 minutes and you don't show up for two hours. It may not hurt you (depending on the guys attitude), but it certainly won't help.

    Yeah, we know all that. The problem is MOST guys are just using the line as a spineless way to say NO. So we're not going to waste time going back to every single "maybelater" on the hope that ONE of them really meant it. Unless of course it's just really that slow.

    You're fortunate enough to work in a busy club where you can do that and not have to back to Mr. maybelater.
    I'm getting my Dial-A-Stripper service up and running again. If you are in NYC or NJ and are interested in private party dancing, email [email protected] with your SW handle, contact info, photo (if you have one) & best time to call and I'll get back to you asap.

    If you're having a party and need strippers, email me with the details and any questions you have. Thanks!
