    Default Talking About How Much You Make...

    ....I think is generally in bad dressing room form. esp. if it is in front people you are not even especially close with. I've heard lots of complaints on SW about people bragging and exagerating about how much they make....but this girl at my club is always talking about how little she makes...and sheesh it makes me feel so unconfortable....I just don't know what to say..."Oh I made 3-4 times more than you"? or just "that sucks"?

    I just say something positive and leave or just don't say a thing. Misery loves company so don't get in to her negative mind set. It will suck your money dry. I understand how nights can suck for awhile, like summertime, but I really don't care what other girls are making even if it is more or less than me. Let me do my job and get your negativity away from me.

    I hear this constant complaining alot, from newbies and veteran dancers who are use to and happy with getting a small piece of the pie. I definitely have to tune them out. It's not my problem and I'm not here to counsel the low wage stripper. It makes me wonder why they even stay around to be tortured, but if the club was full of hustlin' money-makers I'd have something else to complain about.

    I tend to just ignore thoes girls. What do you say? Well, if you were out on the floor and not in the dressing room bitching, maybe you would have made more?
    I just smile and nod, and keep walking.

    I love to hear those girls bitching cause it usually means the big money they're missing is in my garter.

    Well I used to wander around half drunk bitching about how I haven't broken a bill yet, then I realized I needed to quit crying and actually work. Even when it's a slow night, and it seems like there's no hope, sitting in the DR or at the bar thinking about how it sucks doesn't help. So now, if it's a terribly slow night and there's three customers in the whole bar, I make it a point to drain each one's wallet as much as possible, and in the sweetest, friendliest way. Works for me!
    And on nights when I'm banking big time, I tend to play down how much I've made if anyone asks (unless it's when I'm tipping out, I'm a great tipper!), cuz some girls are only out for themselves and not above jacking me.

    I really hate when girls complain about how they can't pay their bills because they're not making money. Like, important bills like rent or car insurance. It's usually because they drink too much or they're unattractive, overweight, or crazy. It makes me uncomfortable because it's not like I want to tell them, "Hey, it's because you have this flaw" and at the same time, I'm thinking, "If you can't do this job and pay your bills, then get another job." Also, it's just way more info about their life that I really don't want to know/care about.

    If someone is just complaining about it sucking that night. It makes me feel a little put on the spot... but it depends on the girl.

    I can count on one hand how many times a girl has asked me how much I made that night. Generally, they go. "Gee, you seem to be doing well tonight...." *expectant look*. My response is ALWAYS, "Meh, it's okay" and change the subject or leave asap.

    I always just make a little neutral 'mmm' sound and nothing else. Possibly 'Oh.'

    I hate it when girls just look me in the eye and ask how much money I made. Wtf? New response: GIANT smile and 'oh, just great.'

    I just don't say anything at all. I try to ignore them. If they come up to me, I will listen to them and nod along. I don't try to bruise any egos or anything by telling them how well I did, like other broads do. I make my money and I go home.

    If shes ALWAYS doing it..just try to ignore her. But I cant say I've never vented in the dressing room about having a crappy night. I dont expect anyone elswe to EVER tell me how much they have or havent made..it's literally just a "DAMN..I'm having a crappy night I hate everyone out there grrrrr...ok back to work" kind of vent!

    In that case..just say yeah ..there are a lot of a-holes in here tonight..lets go find a victim!!! Maybe she just needs a second or two of venting and a pep talk! Always makes me feel better!

    I'm corny so I try to give good advice to my friends. To strangers I say nothing. I've been burned by trying to help a young girl get more money. I hooked her up with a bachelor party and cheerleaded her for a week. She started trying to play me publicly by getting bossy with me in front of her friends! So, I dropped that bitch and never forgot the lesson.

    I would never ask another dancer how much she made-but Im definately guilty of the who "complaining about how little I made" sort of thing. I don't usually talk very much when I'm not working, so when I'm TRYING to work and the money'snot coming, it tends to be what I focus on and what comes out of my mouth.

    Something to work on I guess.

    My good friends and I always tell eachother how much we made. We usually make around the same money with each person having great nights occasionally. Im happy when they do well and even happier when we all do well.

    We never discuss it when any other girls are around because it can cause problems.

    I made the mistake the other night of bitching about having a really bad night coz i made X amount. another dancer turned around and said "are u fucking serious? when u leave here minus $20 then u can complain"
    OOps that's why I usually never mention figures.

    There are many stereotypes about the industry that I work in. Sometimes they can be true but human beings are very diverse creatures and cannot be pigeon-holed into one category.

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    haha this is good to think about...

    she is one of those people who complain consistantly, rather than once in awhile like everyone. thanks for the advice on dealing with it.

    I just act like I don't hear and leave quickly. Girls like that will suck the life out of you if you let them.

    If it's a girl I'm really cool with, I will show her to some spending customers and maybe try to get a double dance or something. But usually I just try to ignore the negativity.

    Hahaha, funny you mention how girls complain they are making so little. I feel bad for those girls who say stuff like "I have $50" and sulk around....but I think money is something that's really rude to talk about, just like anywhere else (of course, with the exception of with your friends!)


    There's this crazy ass chick at my club that will go around boasting about how MUCH money she's making, and will ask me ALL THE TIME "How much do you have?!" followed by how much she's "made". ITS SOOO ANNOYING. Not to be a huge bitch, but she isn't like one of the hottest girls in the club and I NEVER see her in the CR or anything so I always doubt the figures she brags about. Like one time I was givin a LD and she came up to me DURING THE LD WHILE MY BACK WAS TO THE GUY, and said "hey how much do you have?" I was so taken back, I was just like ...."Um...I'm not sure sorry" and she kept pressing me!! "More than 5?" (500) WTF is it a competition?? And one time I was sitting at the bar (I had arrived at work an hour before her) she came up to me and looked at my wrist and said "Wow, looks like you have a lot of money" and I said "yeah...." then literally like 5 minutes later she came up to me and said "Yeah I just got 4 LDs and a $100 tip from this guy!" right........
