The 9 Inches of Success Inch One: Give Me Some Attention

   It's all about the exotic male dancer fan!  That's the most important concept for successful bars, clubs, events, or agencies that feature exotic male dancers.   It doesn't seem possible but Males In Motion has been around for nine years. I have visited many bars, clubs and events that feature exotic male dancers.  During 2012, I'll be posting the 9 inches or 9 characteristics I've found in most of the successful bars, club, or events where I've played! Those with the full nine inches are always the most successful! We begin in this blog with the first inch, "I Want Some Attention!".

INCH ONE: GIVE THE CUSTOMER SOME ATTENTION
   As a gay man who travels to see exotic male dancers around the U.S., North America, and ultimately the globe, I want it made clear.....I WANT ATTENTION FROM THE SEXY DANCING BOYZ!  Yes, I want some attention.  Is it clear yet, I want some attention from the hottie wearing little or no clothing. (I guess he doesn't have to be dancing if he has little or no clothing on....wait, I digress. Back to my point.)
 
   When I walk in the door of the establishment or event where you are dancing, let me know that I am visible and exist! From the perspective of the owner/manager/bartender/dancer, I am a potential source of income for your business and ultimately your pocket.  Therefore, it only stands to reason that I would be given some attention.  Greet me when I walk in the door, or when you notice I am in the club.

   We aren't desperate for attention.  We aren't hunchbacks.  We just enjoy exotic male dancers as entertainment.  I've often observed the male dancer who has an over-inflated sense of his importance in the scheme of things and waits for his adoring subjects to come and worship him....not going to happen here.  Or, I have seen those who spend more time looking in the mirror at themselves.  If they are really hot, they'll make a few tips.  But why make chump change when you can make a successful living by taking the time to provide a little stimulation to those with the cash in their wallets.
   Giving attention helps loosen the vice grip on the billfold and the cash can flow out from their pocket into your waistband.

  Here's a special note to owners/managers/bartenders,

...when the customers are happy, they will return...
when the customers are happy, they will stay around longer...
when the customers are happy they will drink more...
and when the customers are happy, they will tip more.

It's just practical human nature.  Now, to the fans/customers...help me train them.  Tip those who provide attention, ignore those who are too wrapped up in themselves.  That will be a win-win for all of us!

   Until next time, give me this first inch and we'll work on inch two.

Bar Review ~ The Park ~ Oklahoma City, OK

   During the past couple of months my real life has stepped in demanding my full attention. That has unfortunately led to fewer blogs and fewer bar/club reviews. However, a few weeks ago I stood up to my real life and told it that I had to get away for the weekend. I hit the road with my partner and found myself in Oklahoma City, OK. And it was just what I needed. By the time I arrived on Friday night I was very tired from the week, and my body was saying 'stay in and go to bed'. But I had been to some of the clubs in OKC before and I was eager to visit again.

   We started the night at one of our favorites, "The Park". The bar is one of those "lets meet at the Park and then decide what else we want to do" type places. You start your night here, have a couple of drinks, and watch the male dancers. On this particular night, there were two dancers. One was a slim, yet muscular dancer with tattoos. He wore a nice pair of small green briefs that presented his 'boys' in grand style. You know what they say about the slim guys...and it was true in this case. The other dancer was cute, popular with the crowd, and a more medium sized guy. He enjoyed teasing the crowd. He was a pro at not really showing anything but making you think you're seeing more. They both danced on cube shaped platforms in different areas of the bar. So, for a person of regular height, your face is right where you want it to be. ***evil grin***

   There was no cover and we enjoyed a couple of drinks each that were reasonably priced. The crowd was small early but picked up later. At one point we left to check out a different club and then returned before going back to our hotel. And since we had enjoyed ourselves Friday night, we returned again on Saturday night. The slim dancer had returned and I applaud his choice of underwear. If fit him well, and presented him well...all the way around.

   On a final note, there are a couple of cute bartenders that work at The Park as well. So, not only do you get eye candy on the dancing platforms, but also behind the bar. If you need a weekend getaway and find yourself in Oklahoma City, OK, go by The Park. I recommend a good whiskey that you sip slowly as you watch the dancers and the crowd. Let yourself unwind, and always, yes always, tip the boyz!

*My personal experiences

*Experiences of people I know and respect

*Followers of this blog

*Responses on my facebook page

*Post to my twitter account

You'll see some familiar places and faces from previous years and maybe a couple of new ones. If you find yourself in the areas where these clubs/bars are located, I recommend that you check them out in 2012. Photo Source: Michael Bernal

1. Swinging Richard's ~ Atlanta, GA    As always, Swinging Richard's sets the standard for clubs with exotic male dancers. In this case, the dancers are nude, always hot, and never a disappointment to any fan of the male form. (Click here and read our review)

2. Stockbar ~ Montreal, QC CA    There isn't another place like this in North America. You can enjoy the boyz in person, or see them live online each night. The hot Canadian men dance nude and will generate enough fantasies to fill your nights. (Click here and read our website review)

3. Secrets ~ Washington, DC    Our nation's capitol holds many secrets but this is one that you definitely want to know. Secrets/Ziegfield's is a club where the nude male is appreciated and enjoyed. The frequent appearances by male porn stars provides an additional incentive to make a pilgrimage to the East Coast.

4. MJ's ~ Los Angeles, CA    With theme nights like "Rimjob Tuesday", "Club Whore" Wednesday, or Latin Sundays, you'll find a variety of masculine male dancers to inspire any fan!!!! MJ's male dancers are as close to nude as you can get without presenting the Whole Monty and sexy as hell. I mean, this is Southern California, the land of sunny beaches, gorgeous men, and great clubs like MJ's.

5. Boxers-N-Briefs ~ Centreville, IL (St. Louis, MO)    Mid-America is not just fly over land as some might think, and across the river from St. Louis, MO is a location that you don't want to miss. Boxers-N-Briefs is one of my favorite. Nude dancers that are part acrobat, and part gymnist swing, twist, and 'bounce' for your pleasure! Exceptional bartenders too!

6. The Tin Room ~ Dallas, Tx    Imagine yourself in a crowded bar filled with hot Texas men, and some of them are wearing only briefs stretched across their Texas size endowments. Yes, Dallas has it's share of pretty boys and cowboys. And, some of them have chosen to be exotic male dancers at The Tin Room. We are grateful!

7. Splash ~ New York, NY    The ultimate club for sexy go-go boys. Themed Friday nights where the F*Word takes place, brings out the creativity and 'barely there' clothing that we all enjoy. The sexy tease of almost wearing clothes tantalizes the animal male/female in us all! Photo Source: Michael Bernal

8. Boardwalk Bar ~ Ft. Lauderdale, FL    Visiting this famous vacation destination only gets better when you add a trip to Boardwalk Bar. Not only are the exotic male dancers 'hot', there are so many to enjoy. Watch for the visiting porn stars and big event weekends.

9. Lucky Horseshoe ~ Chicago, IL    The Lucky Horseshoe is the type of bar that I wish was in my neighborhood. It's one where you can sit back, relax, have a beer, and just enjoy the dancers who rotate on the stage. Stay awhile, make some new friends, and enjoy the boyz!

10. Zippers ~ Dallas, TX    Zippers is always a stop for me when I am in Dallas. It exists for only one reason. It is a place for gay men to have a drink and watch well-built, well-endowed young men dressed in sexy underwear dance to a great music mix. I always find a dancer that I enjoy when at Zippers.

   Thanks for taking the time to read my Top 10 List. Also, thanks to all my blog readers for following my posts during 2011. It was a fun year for exotic male dancers and clubs. I hope to visit more of them in 2012. Let me know what you think about my selections, and please send me information on some you think I might have missed. I would love to make it to your favorite club where exotic male dancers are the featured entertainment.

   In my next blog, I will post my Top 10 Exotic Male Dancers for 2011. Until next time, enjoy a dirty martini, and as always, tip the boyz for me!

To All The Bartenders I've Ever Loved Before

   Exotic Male Dancers are definitely the drawing card for me when determining which clubs I want to visit. But while watching those sexy men dance and provide a night of fantasies for me, I enjoy sipping one of my favorite alcoholic beverages. Unless I'm the designated driver, I will enjoy one or two. I'm a light weight drinker but I do have a few cocktails or beers that I prefer.
(Photo: Spin in Chicago, IL)

   Let's start with the hard stuff. I always like starting with the hard stuff when watching exotic male dancers. (Yes, pun intended.) I prefer a martini, a dirty martini to be exact. In a chilled martini glass, I like a dash of Vermouth poured in, swished around and then poured out. Too much Vermouth is not a good thing. In a shaker add 6 oz. of Vodka and 1.5 oz of green olive brine from the jar. Gently shake it together. Pour to the rim, the unstrained mixture into the chilled martini glass. The "dirty" name comes from the cloudy look of the martini in the glass due to the olive juice/brine. Skewer three large green olives on a cocktail toothpick and place inside the glass. Sip slowly, I said slowly. Tip the bartender.

   At this point I think I should state that a designated amount or tip budget for the night should have already been established. If you drink more than one dirty martini, your money will begin to fly out of your pocket and into the waistband, socks, armband, etc., of your favorite exotic male dancer. And he may not actually be your favorite dancer but the one who has become your favorite due to the introduction of alcohol into the evening. Do I know this from experience? I reserve the right not to incriminate myself.
(Photo: Splash in New York, NY)

   On a night when I'm not in the mood for sipping but feel I need to relax quickly, I prefer a Jack and Coke. And if you have a good bartender then he/she will prepare a J-A-A-A-CK and coke, with emphasis on the amount of Jack Daniel's poured into the glass as compared to the amount of coke. I do not suggest specific amounts of each ingredient but rather let the bartender determine that. Oh, and I do like ice in my glass as well, but not an excessive amount since we do want to enjoy our sugary, stiff concoction. The appropriate response to this drink is to loosen up and enjoy the show. Go easy. If you have too many, you won't be able to tip the boyz unless they are making housecalls at your table, which I do hope they are doing.

   And while I am on the subject of whiskey, I must admit that I do enjoy a Crown and Coke from time to time. Crown Royale is very smooth. This is not a drink for getting drunk. This is a whiskey you drink and savor. So, sit back, act like you are the richest man/woman in the room. Be careful with how many you drink of these as well. You might wind up giving most of your money to the bartender with little left for the dancers. And after all, it is the dancers that we are here to enjoy.

   There are some nights that I cristen beer nights. I never know when a beer night will occur, they just happen. I will have to say that most of them do occur during the hot months of the summer. It seems a cold beer on a hot summer night is sometimes the only thing that will do. When this occurs my beer of choice is a Dos Equis Amber with a wedge of lime. There are times when money is tight and I must drink on a budget. During those times I go with Bud Light in a bottle. If money is seriously an issue, then Bud Light draft is the drink of choice. I don't want to but I have to. There's nothing wrong with Bud Light, but I prefer a darker beer. And let me state here, that there are those who prefer beer on tap rather than in a bottle as well. The good thing about being a light weight drinker is that I can drink three beers and I am good for the night. So, not only am I a light weight drinker, but a cheap one when necessary as well. The bottom line here is that I want to make sure I have enough money to tip the boyz. So, a cheaper drink, and less of it are fine with me.

   Beware of bartenders/owners/managers bearing gifts! Free drinks are great! And I will occasionally stop in at a club/bar early to catch a free drink special. Also, there are bartenders who want to introduce their newest creation and give you a free sample...ok, I'll bite. Then there are owners/managers who will offer you free drinks if you are a good customer, or a potential good customer. Let's just say, that sometimes free drinks are hidden encouragement to spend more money. We all know that as you consume more alcohol, your inhibitions begin to drop, your financial filters begin to fade, and the tight grip you had on your wallet when you entered the door, begins to loosen up. If you think you'll have a problem with giving all your money to the pretty boys, then take a specific amount into the bar and leave the rest at home, in the bank, or at least in your car. Then, if you want to spend more money, you have to either drive home and get it, go to the ATM, or walk out to your car. This will help you be a little more financially responsible.

   There are times when I stray away from the drinking patterns above but for the most part, I am a creature of habit and I follow them closely. During the holiday season, step into your favorite bar/club that presents exotic male dancer entertainment, and tip the bartender an extra buck or two. Share the spirit of the season. Until next time, look for me at the table down front. I'll be the one sipping the dirty martini and tipping the boyz! Happy Holidays!

Gifts You Want To See Them Take Off

   Maybe the local exotic male dancer isn't on your shopping list this holiday season but I argue that maybe they should be. Of course, if I am going to give a gift to a male dancer, then I am going to require a string be attached to that gift. My only requirement is that they wear the gift that I have given them either on stage, or maybe even in a VIP Lounge session. If you know this dancer well enough to present them with a gift, then you most likely will get your wish and see them wearing it.

I have selected a few items that I would like to give to my favorite exotic male dancers and that I would like to see them wear, before they seductively strip them off. Gigo Classic Black Red Net Brief Sale $10.80

Gigo  Holanda Brief  Sale $10.80    Perfect for your fantasy athlete of any sport! Or maybe you'll create a new sport to play!

Candyman Play With Me Football Boxer Brief Sale $27.38    Football is called a contact sport! Ok, that works for me.

Candyman  Fair Play Referee  Sale $20.63    For all of you in lust with authority figures. This ref will always call it your way!

Casanova Enhance It Boxer Sale $15.40    White is the perfect color under bright lights, when soaked at a wet underwear contest, or for more intimate moments. And this fabric is soft to the touch. Go ahead, try it out!

Male Power  Neon Mesh Mini  Pouch Short  Sale $15.40    Mesh is always a nice surprise! Imagine this model being fully dressed. He slowly removes his outer clothing to reveal all.

Greg Homme Pump Up Boxer Brief Sale $32.25    If you got it, flaunt it! Or at least frame it and stick it out there! We'll show our appreciation in more tips!

Pikante  Original Camouflage  Boxer  Sale $16.25    No need to ask or tell. Just wear these and say it all. Let's hide in the barracks and work out some diplomatic maneuvers.

Papi  Patrol Military  Brazilian Trunk  Sale $15.60    This is your military undress uniform. I want the basket full, the bottom tight, and these at your ankles in less than five seconds! Your answer should be, "Sir, yes sir!"

Make it clear what team your batting (or catching) for. These pride inspired boxers leave no doubt. Joe Snyder Rainbow Xpression Boxer  Sale $21.00

Do your shopping online and have these gifts shipped to your favorite dancer, or even better, ship them to your house and take them to the dancer. Or maybe even better, have them shipped to your house, invite the dancer over to try them on and model them for you! There is also one more option...buy them for yourself! Until next time, tip the boyz a little extra during the holidays! Spread some holiday cheer!

Expose Yourself! ~ Using Online Photos To Increase Tips For Exotic Male Dancers

   You're in it for the money! Let's establish that fact from the very beginning. The money that can be given to the exotic male dancer is in the pockets of the audience, crowd, fans, managers, owners, agents, etc. So, if you are wanting more of that money transferred into your pocket through tips, then this blog is for you. Digital pics of you doing your thing on the stage, dance floor, bar, etc., will have an impact on your tips. How? You might ask. The power of visual promotion, that is how.
(In pic above: Jay Roth Photo by Michael Bernal)

   In advertising and promotion, words or copy are used to promote the product or service. There will be a catch phrase, or advertising hook that will catch your attention and then descriptions of how that product or service will improve or enhance your life. Add a music jingle that gets stuck in your head and you sing it throughout the day and the advertisers have done their job at introducing the product or service. But for maximum impact, you need visual stimulation. That is why many music artists spend so much money on their music videos. That is why so much money is spent in fashion photography. That is why the Super Bowl commercials are always so fun and/or outrageous. ( Photo by Damon Frazier)

    The same principles apply to promoting the exotic male dancer. The fact that almost every party goer owns a smart phone, or at the very minimum, a phone that can take and send pics, creates a free promotional tool that you can use to your advantage. First, dress to encourage picture taking. My motto, "Show some skin and they will come in." Wear something that is sexy, puts the junk on display, and gets attention. Encourage fans to take pics. Ask them to take a picture of you standing with one or more of their friends. Then let them know your facebook dancer page (separate from your 'my family' page). Ask them to tag you in the pic. This will let all your friends and all their friends see the pics and give you free promotion. That pic will most often be posted and tagged as soon as it has been taken. ( Photo by Ken Brown)

   Make sure you always have good quality pics of you dancing to post online or use in advertising. Have a friend who is a good photographer take pics of you while dancing. They do not have to be a professional, just someone who can take decent pics with their phone or camera. Also, once again, be sure you wear something very sexy. Use only the best of the final pics, and by best I mean, most revealing, sensual photos in the group. If you aren't sure which ones to use, ask a fan, friends, etc., to help you pick out a few. I like to see photos of dancers who are dancing, not posing. If you are doing a photoshoot then a set of studio type pics are alright for a profile pic, or other promotional situations. But for me, I like to see a dancer in motion...'males in motion' if you will. You can view a few of the pics I have done in different situations on my facebook photography page. **CLICK HERE**. ( Photo by Michael Hill)

   If you are a dancer and would like promotional photos while dancing (no charge), let me know and when I visit your area, I will contact you. I also provide studio sessions for only $75. I have a mobile studio that I bring with me whenever I travel for this purpose. The studio session includes up to 5 costumes changes, maximum two hour session, and a minimum of 20 possible poses to use for promotional purposes. The reason for the low fee of only $75 is I also request the use of one or more pics for Males In Motion projects. Your name appears with every use. You get free promotion on my website and/or blogs as per our final agreement, and I get good quality photos of hot male dancers for use in my promotions. It's a win, win situation for both! Email me today for more details!( Photo by Michael Hill Location: Mojo's ~ Tulsa, OK)
