Not worth a ****,
I enjoy it,
However I have to agree with Deca, it can get old dealing with drunks, and nothing smells worse than beer breath, when you aren’t drinking……..
Dont matter about size.. matters about skill.. I am at 230 and have had a couple ppl ask me to bounce.. But I dont want to be in that scene all the timeQuote:

I bounced for about 4 months a few years ago. I was only 235 but was heavily involved in MA at the time so felt more comfortable about being able to handle myself. Was a lot of fun and the chick were so easy...too easy. I turned down far more than I took home. anyway, thant's how I met my fiance. Quit shortly after we got serious.
I worked at a place in Albuquerque called tavern pub for a couple months working the door. I only weighed in at 195 at that time. Must be able to handle yourself. I only got in two scrapes but we had some really big guys there also. gotta have the skills man. ski a great winter. since I have been in NY got in a scrape with two marines
and i still have the skills. ski a great winter and good luck
I was around 205lbs when i bounced. But IMHO its not size, but how you handle yourself. The money was ok, but i made more money on the side letting under age chicks in with their dudes....If they were with other chicks or alone they got in free...;)
What killed me was all the smoke from people smoking. YUK! I worked from 8 - 4am. By the time i got home it was after 5am. I slept all day and stayed up all night. Wasnt the best thing if you ask me....

Hahah I take it you like to ski eh?? And yea you have to be able to handle yourself!Quote:

200, i got a job at my wrestling coach's club. it was not very sweet, i hate drunks. everytime i come to visit he offers me a job. d@mn near 300 now, still dont wanna bounce.

A couple years ago I bounced at a college bar before moving up to bartender. It's fun for a while before you get sick of working late all the time. Up side: drinking for free, tons of ass, lots of money. Down side: drink to much, bar groupies can get you in trouble.
I was 265 when I started......
I make a flat rate of 150 bucks plus food
I hate bars now and have to be forced to go out by my friends.
I hate drunk people....I can't even count how many times I have been called a Nigger by a drunk tough guy.
.
i just started in rice village....its ok but don't let the guys bs you about what you know....what you need to know is how to spot a situation BEFORE it starts....martial arts, judo, kung fu and all those other worthless crap mean **** when you got a 6'8" 350lb redneck TELLING YOU that he aint going anywhere....the cops had to use 3 pairs of cuffs on this guy, thats how thick he was....i would say a mature head an ability to difuse any altercations before they start is where bouncing will be fun

People don't understand that its your job and you have to be there 4 or 5 nights a week. To them its there night to go out and get ****ed up and act a fool. But when you've been there five nights in a row your on a different level than them. That's when your ready to snap on the next guy who acts cocky.
210 when I started at 17. Last gig I was 25 and 245. Loved it money was ok, but working the door brought down the duckets.....As well as selling some pharmaceuticals on the side..hehehe..... Lotsa bouncer groupies. Was a great gig when I was younger.
The wanna be tough guys are pain...specially when they're drunk. Ya gotta have the right tude and skills or you can get in a world o hurt real quick.
For a college job I give it a solid 8.
I just started couple weeks ago except i am at a lame ass punk rock club its pretty dumb a friend of a friend owns it but i get paid 100$ a night cash not to bad for a student
If I was there when anyone called u the N word.. you woulda had to take me outta the bar too man! Hate that kinda thing in the bar, ppl always get so mouthy I have had a few words with ppl before about their racial slurs. I don't tolerate it at allQuote:

Yea my friends usually get a lot more angry thatn I do. I have been black my whole life..:lol:...I have heard Nigger more than once. I have thick skin it doesn't bother me as much as it did when I was younger, I learned you can't fight everyone no matter how bad you want to. When I do hear it I don't want the word or the person using ot to have any power over me....if they can get to me that's like a form of power and I don't like anyone to have power over me.Quote:

200, 230, 265, 310 back in the day.
The more i weighed, the more i would get payed being the establisments that hired me would be looking for someone more intimidating. I dont do that anymore though.
At the Totally Nude club that I work at part time, I am called a Floor Man. I get Minimum wage, but the Girls tip me at the End O the Night as well. I started when I was 225 lbs. It is a tough club and there is a team of 3 of us including the manager if needed.
I don't like drunks or nerd perverts, who touch when told not too. They get Jacked. And I do mean alley jacked if you know what I mean.. We are security for the club. Citizen arrest etc. I am gettin too old for this stuff though..
Kahoona.
PS.. I have learned not do do Fina and work the club. I take things way to personally... LOL :lol:
lOVE IT BRO. Was my life for many years the best years. ski a great winterQuote:
