He may
seem cool at first, but his true colors always shine through and then he is
shunned by the dancers and eventually run off. We’ve seen many of these guys
come and go. It takes awhile to spot them at first. They made it through their
whole lives scamming people and/or making them feel sorry for them to get what
they want. These guys are a cancer in the club and cause more drama than they
are worth. They will do for a dollar what you wouldn’t do for a thousand, and
that makes it hard for the quality dancers to compete. They also tell the other
dancers’ business to customers, pretending to be a friend, and sometimes lying
to steal them away. Then they will have sex with them to seal the deal. They
get paid a fraction of what the other guy got and do all the things the other
guy wouldn’t.
Visitors : These are guys who travel from club to club
across the United States. If one club is doing better, they visit that club.
They bring new excitement with them, but the guys who call the club home might
not be happy to have the competition. Most are really cool and respectful, they
get along with the guys, and the locals appreciate their shows. It’s almost
like a family reunion when they come. Usually, dancers throw after-parties
while they are in town to show them a good time.
Every once in a while, however, a hustler will blow through,
and we hate that. One of the worst was a cocky guy from the East Coast who
thought he was a real stud. We thought he sucked, but the owner gave him
special treatment because he was from out of town. The local guys hated him but
the owner shrugged off their attempts to get him to scold the guy. It wasn’t
until we caught him on camera stealing money out of all the other dancers’
lockers that the boss said he should go home. He was even stealing from the guys
who were sticking up for him.
Wanna-be Famous Guy : Every other dancer is trying to
be a model or actor. Some have been in print commercials and film, though
usually just as extras on the set. These guys tend to float from club to club
and perform roadshows a lot.
The Hung One : This guy is famous for his big cock.
This is the only guy who doesn’t have to worry about the other guys trying to
screw any of his exes.
Whipping Boy : This guy always gets into a
relationship with the wrong girl, usually a stripper who totally dominates the
relationship. She sleeps around and he convinces himself that she is really a
good girl. Guys at a club are known to sleep with each other’s girlfriends. It’s
an alpha male thing. Fights will break out over this. Fights about this are not
common, but we’ve seen it happen more than once. A dancer was caught in the
parking lot fucking a rookie’s fiancée in a car. The rookie knocked on the
window and the dancer said, “Dude, get the fuck out of here! I’m not done!” The
dancer was huge and definitely the alpha male over the rookie! The girl didn’t
stop either.
Guy Who Sucks and Doesn’t Know It : We all try to give
some advice to him, but he thinks he knows better, even though he bombs onstage
every time he goes up. This guy usually has an outdated look or outdated act
and costumes.
Power Trip Guy :He
has some type of gig (roadshow, modeling gig, tour) where he is the boss and
picks out dancers to go on the shows. He yells and screams, and the guys put up
with him because they need and want the extra work.
Guy Who Girls Think is Gay but Who is Really Straight :
The way he talks is a little bit feminine, and the girls think might be gay,
but in reality he has a hot girlfriend or he gets a lot of girls.
Too Damn Old to be Stripping Guy : There is a type of
man who will dance until he can dance no more. In his mid-fifties or older, he has
evolved into a swap meet on stage. In order to get the girls up to the stage,
he gives out posters, key chains, thongs, feathers, pictures, plastic flags and
cowboy hats—pretty much anything you can find at a dollar store. One of these
guys was
