    Default Do You Feel This Way? (Regs)

    Ok I've had my share of regs as all of us have, and I've gotten like 3-4 that are really annoying behavior wise. The most common is they'll be good for the first 2-3 encounters, spend money, etc, but they'll eventually come back in and pull bullshit. Talk about how they will come in next time with money, try to talk you up etc etc. Usually of course when a guy has to convince you he'll be back with money he probably doesn't have it, and I've had a few do the whole talk up thing, never show, and then come back 2 months later like nothing happened. On one hand I want the money, even if it isn't as good as before, but on the other hand I find myself incredibly annoyed that they didn't keep up their word. I usually won't even take the time to talk to them after this, and if they do try to, I will say to their face I'm pissed you're acting like nothing happened. Lately I've just been refusing to do dances for them, even if it costs me alittle.

    Anyways, I have no idea if any other girls here have run into this and what you usually do when you have the half real half bs reg.

    I keep them as long as the money combined makes it worth my time. Once it becomes too low, they try too hard to persuade you to go out for dinner, etc, I tend to tell them that I love chatting to them as a CUSTOMER but I only work here so I need compensation for my time. If they don't take the hint but still always try to chat me up with no money I eventually just start saying something like "I'd better have some money in this hand before you finish that sentence or you can finish it elsewhere." Which sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't, but at that point there ain't no money to be lost anyway since they ain't giving it out.

    If they start lying to me or not spending money, I don't consider them a regular. If you can't count on your regulars, then they're just guys that come in haphazardly.

    My regulars tend to have a short shelf life other than one of my regular couples.

    The minute they waste my time maliciously, it was over!! Nothing pissed me off more than a custy who knows he needs to spend money, then doesn't. Its like running away on paying the bill at the restaurant or charging things off you know you've bought on a credit card. Downright criminal!

    This is why I don't like to mess with regulars. They almost always spend less and less money each time they show up, making it not worth the time to deal with them because I could make more by hustling other guys. For me, fucking around with regulars is just hassle. I don't like having to setup appointments or stick to a strict schedule so I can be there for certain guys, and I don't like having to call or email them outside of work either. Work is for work - outside of work is for ME, not work. I'm not giving one second of my time to a customer when I'm not at work.

    The way I deal with them is this: If a guy likes me and wants to come back to get more dances with me, fine. I'll greet him warmly and dance for him again next time I see him (provided he wasn't disgusting or annoying the first time). But I'm not going to call or email him - if he shows up when I'm working, fine. If not, fine. There are other guys to sell dances to, and I'd rather deal with new guys anyway - I get bored and unmotivated with too much repetition. I don't get alot of regulars (or at least not many who last long) and frankly that's the way I like it. I don't need their money - I can make it with other guys.

    Hell, I believe I normally make MORE without the regulars because I'm always hustling and not spending any time screwing around with shitheads who think their past spending has somehow "earned" them extra rights to me and my time. No pay, no play.

    I agree. Although I never paid much attention to what the other girls were doing or making, I think I made a VERY good living not putting too much pressure on keeping track of regs. And I did keep in touch with a few guys over time. We would coordinate them coming in to see me. I would leave a guy I was sitting with. Then, they would buy like $40 of dances. Fuck that shit!

    Yes I agree. The majority of my regulars have been great for max 4 times, then get all whiny and feel entitled to my time for free. Bullshit! When this happens I just try to politely leave, like "well it was nice seeing you, got to get back to work!" and then whenever I see them again I just smile at them from across the room but never go over. This usually works to get them to tip me something nice when I'm on stage and nothing else.

    There is one exception, though. One handsome, polite young gentleman that comes in all the time, doesn't call me or expect me to call him, lets me clean him out with at least 8-10 dances in succession sometimes more, talks me up to his friends, then tells me he's out and wishes me a good night.
    Wish they could all be that way!

    I have guys try to get cheap on me for my shows. Some almost 1/2 of what they spent the last time thinking b/c they are a regular they get a special discount. Um no. Treat me well and I do that same....start trying to be cheap and still expect the same thing - he gets what he pays for.

    They just come around every few weeks instead of trying to be cheap once a week.

    I believe in this as well, just because we are friends and I give them special attention and will ignore others to spend time with them doesn't give them any special right towards discounted dances or time. I usually just weed out the ones that don't treat me right, I make it very clear that this is my occupation and although I want them to have a good time and appear to be having one with them, don't confuse it with just a night out, it's still my job.
    If they can't understand this than they never cared about our "friendship" in the first place.

    You know what it is.....most guys don't have that "hustle" skill that we do. Just imagine how mortified most guys are of approaching girl in bars/clubs/social situations. Many people are shy and afraid to put themselves out there. They assume strippers are the same. And there are certainly shy strippers, especially newer girls. But many of us are used to the approach, aren't shy, and have NO problem constantly approaching new guys.

    Thus, they think that since they have spent before and we don't have to approach them fresh, that they are "easier" money. In fact, the opposite happens to be true. I am (was) always interested in approaching new guys and getting to know them. There is only so many ways you can pretend to be interested in a regular without crossing the line of "con artist."

    I would say: "Wow, you just put me in a shitty position. I am here to make money, so I can't just chill here with you. Now you make me feel like a total bitch." And pull a guilt trip on their ass so they KNOW, come in with money or no time with me!

    But I consider regulars guys that I have known for years, that just want dances or CR's, and they all come from out of town on buisness. Those guys that come in and try to date you are just fucking punks! ... and will use money to manipulate you

    I'm with Bridgette these days. I actually don't have that many regulars. I can only count on one currently even tho' I have worked at my local club for awhile now. The only reason is that I do not have the patience for BS anymore. If you want to become my regular, feel free to do so however be very aware that I am at work and will not waste value-able time with you if it is not worth the compensation.

    Just because you think you are "easier" or "better" money than someone else. You're not. You are privelaged to be my regular and I will move on .. and not shed a tear if I feel that you are not worth it anymore.

    In the past, I have 'pushed' regulars onto other dancers when I have felt done with them ... they are still spending... just the bs is a little more than last time and thus not worth the money.

    It's all relative to me. The amount of BS I will put up with from a regular is in direct proportion to the money that the person spends and does so on a regular basis.

    If you don't do so on a regular basis, then you aren't a regular. Just another Joe that visits a strip club every so often and I will treat you as such.
