For those of you who go to strip clubs...

Hey everyone, I have my first day as a stripper coming up (I won't say when or where in case it's seen as advertising) and I was wondering if there's anything a new stripper should know, from the customer's point of view? Are there things that would make you prefer or avoid a girl?
En plus jsuis très très anglophone (ontarienne) alors si il y a des termes spécialisés qu'il faut que je connaisse, s'il vous plaît laissez-moi savoir

I think don’t stick at the bar looking at your phone and talk to customers whiteout insisting to much….
Bonne chance and hop see you asap somewhere

Right on - I love this - way to show initiative!

I wouldn't be too concerned about the language thing, if you make an effort to speak whatever little French you know, even if it's limited to "Salut, t'es beau en crisse" most everyone will make it work (esp if you slyly hint that your lack of French is no impediment to your dance skills in the booth). Seriously, unless you're dancing in Val D'Or, almost everyone you meet will be able to make do in English, esp in Mtl. Being apologetic, express that you're learning, and not feeling entitled to be spoken to in English will go a long way.

So, a few offerings:

1. Stage show, Stage show, and more Stage Show - I'm a complete sucker for an enthusiastic, athletic, well done stage show and will fight my way through the crowd to private dance you afterwards. If you have good pole game bring it, learn if you have time, and if not, at least put good energy into your show. While there have been exceptions, there's usually a corelation between stage show enthusiasm and good times in the booth, unless she's a complete smoke show or talks amazing game at the table I will rarely take dances after a lackluster stage show.
2. Small talk before asking if a customer wants to go to the booth - bonus if this is genuine, funny, and flirty without being an obvious sales pitch.
3. Try not to get into your personal drama with clients until you get to know them well, most guys are there to live a fantasy.
4. On the topic of drama: will you be traveling solo or with gfs? Do you have connections at the club you'll be working? Just keep your head up and eyes open for bs from other dancers, be polite, firm, and don't take any shit.
5. Figure out what you're personally comfortable with in the booth beforehand so that you don't run into any uncomfortable situations. Re private dances, unless you know your style already, experiment with different approaches - slow, flirty, sensual vs grinding dirtiness - you'll figure out what works and as long as it's done with enthusiasm it'll be appreciated.
6. Figure out what the club policy is regarding mileage in the booths as well as enforcement (booth checks, DJ premiums, etc.).
7. If a client offers you a drink, perhaps don't order a round for your entourage if you're traveling in a posse.
8. Experiment with song counting: out loud after each song, not at all, or the timer method. Personally, I'm not a fan of the timer, I do appreciate if the girl mentions "that's the song, or that's two, would you like another?" for the first couple songs, it shows respect and helps build trust. Usually after about three songs the guy is either going to bounce or if things are going further, they heat up to the point that the count becomes a distraction, and you'll be fully, um, aware that they want more songs and it's up to them to call it when done.
9. Like Xrxusr said, limit your phone time and time at the gaming terminals. I'm not going to approach a girl with her face in her phone or busy pushing console buttons.

I'm sure I'm forgetting a bunch, and while there's been a general decline in the SP scene over the years, there's still good times to be had, and when the vibe is right and staff and customers are going off it's hard to beat.

Good luck, be safe and enjoy!

Wait for the customer to offer to buy you a drink. It really bugged me when the lady would ask within minutes of striking up a conversation.

How did it go?

Surprised about the kissing thing. Are you super hot?

You're surprised that guys at strip clubs try to kiss the girls......???

Pretty good, but there's no way I can do it regularly. The shift is a full 7pm-3am, which is REALLY hard on the body and the mind (I don't normally wear heels so 8 hours in stripper heels was... painful). Also, I was truly shocked by how many men wanted to kiss me. We're strangers! What if I had a cold sore? How do I know you're not sick? Why do you want to kiss someone who hypothetically could have been kissing lots of other men that night, and you don't know what sort of maladies those men have? In the end, I'm glad I did it, but when I'm less busy with university I'll see if I can find a place that allows shorter shifts. I think I would be happy to do a couple of 3-4 hour shifts each week, but I just can't stay until 3am especially because I have classes in the morning so even one night of getting home at 4am each week kind of messes up my health/sleep schedule.

Just throwing ideas here. If you OF + CB, and can dance one night per week, someplace for a face-to-face, to attract a certain clientele that would help you financially w/o being too tired with 7-3am multiple times per week.

Curious, if you take such a dancer's position at Kingdom's, do they force you to that shift multiple days per week? If so, man, that's harsh. Dropping classes to part-time dramatically increases university fees versus full time, negating part of the increased $$$$ gains. The manager at Kingdom's probably knows this too.

I see sometimes CB women doing homework or hobbies nude or partially nude and getting hundreds to tokens per day. Though the payout on 1000 tokens is probably only 50$, and you can make 4x that in an hour's worth of tips dancing.

I haven't done a strip joint in over 10 years, ever since the private dances jumped to 20$ or more. If I want a nice 30 minutes, I have better with an incall indy or MP. For me, the strip joints downtown cater more to the very young, tourists, bachelor parties.

I wish part-time university was the same cost as full-time, pro-rated per credit. Why finance with my taxes only full-timers? Young women on their own, single moms, would greatly benefit.

I've been at kindom with friends last Friday and for the kissing thing, rationality goes out the window when men are horny enough. Alcohol helps a lot.
That's mainly why we tend to pay more than we usually plan to.
We usually need less of a mental connection than women to want physical connection.
There's also the part where the customer feels extra special when the rules are bent for them a little. We go there to look and touch pretty people but also to feel desired.

I think customers wanting to kiss you means you're doing a great job but I hope it didn't make you feel bad or feel like you had to comply.
