I’m a bottle service baby – dating is impossible when you’re a man

A woman can make thousands of dollars as a bottle girl—but it comes at a price.

Taylor Blair, 26, earns four figures a month from her job, but her dating life suffers.

Blair told Restaurant News that her waitress damaged her reputation because many people “thought the worst” when she talked about her job.

“Unless you have the most secure, supportive, understanding boyfriend, good luck to you,” said Blair, who is from Scottsdale, Arizona.

“I see this all the time with my exes and even girls who still have boyfriends,” she added. “The moment you get into a fight; he’s going to use your job against you.”

Part of the job required Blair to wear revealing clothing while serving drinks to men at clubs and to travel to other venues to help promote clubs similar to the one she worked at.

“You get very powerful people, and a lot of them have money, so they just think they can do anything, say anything,” Blair said. “It’s not going to sit well with you. Once you tell them you Being an alcoholic, they assume the worst.”

“Dating is hard and it’s overwhelming. It’s not normal to be in a club like Thursday through Sunday every weekend, so it’s very exhausting,” she shared.

Blair said that in addition to dating and being judged by potential partners, “there are a lot of downsides to the job” – including having to drink lots of energy drinks to work all night long.

“It’s crazy to get home at 3 a.m. and go to bed at 3:30. I also have outings at venues and we have to go to different venues throughout the week and just sit there,” she said. “During the week I don’t want to be talked to, I don’t want to leave my house, I don’t want to be within 100 yards of the club, but you have to do it.”

Although the failure of the job affected her personal life, Blair continued to take advantage of it, making money both on her own and from the hefty tips she received.

Blair’s income is unstable and varies from week to week, but she still takes home more money than many people in a month.

Blair worked just 12 hours a week and earned $1,691.74. The next week, she worked fewer hours but made more money, taking home $2,676.03.

“I always say this whenever we talk about this job and talk about money, but it doesn’t always work that way. I try to reiterate that,” she shared. “There were months where I was doing much better than that, there were months when I wasn’t even making a third of that, so it was inconsistent, very up and down.”
