how to get a job as a bouncer

True. And I if I recall correctly, the best of them know how to control a situation without fighting.
The idea is to prevent a situation, not to beat the hell out of everyone at the club.

Well said, very true... I wasn't the biggest guy in my club, and sure, I COULD kick ass if need be, but the best of bouncers get people to walk out on thier own...
 
I know some club owners and Ive asked them how they hire their bouncers and such. They say they want someone tough, but the main thing they seem to look for are BIG guys. They figure someone sees a lot of giant bouncers, they arent gonna want to start shit at the club cuz they know the bouncers will mop up. pretty much exact like duritz said. Also depends on where you live too. Im talkin bout big cities. Im sure smaller cities/towns it would do just to look strong. But I sure wouldnt want to be a bouncer. Ive seen some shit too in sac town. whole clubs/bars going into the lot and fighting (granite, they were small clubs but still, thats a big fight). some people with knives. my boy got jacked with some brass knuckles. gun shots. (thats when we roll out, brass knuckles, im like whats up. knives kinda scare me, but ill hang around and watch my boys backs. gunshots, im throwin my boys in the car and squealin rubber). what ever happened to the old days? when you could just get in a fight, beat the fuck out of eachother, and be best friends the next week. :rolleyes: i miss those days.

first off you are 5'7. you could be the toughest mofo in the entire world and it won't work out.

Not true, I'm only 5'8", and I was a cooler for a long time. Once people know you, and they know that you're not going to take shit, they respect you no matter what size you are.

You're not gonna get hired... and if you do, every punk guy is gonna start a fight with you cuz they misjudged you as the "little guy".

See my above statement. Sure, there will be douchebags every now and again that want to test thier metal, but those are few and far between.

Second... bouncing is gay. Why risk your life for like $10 an hour??

Bouncers that make $10 an hour are not bouncers, they are window dressing, or they work in a small club or bar...

Half my friends bounce and they want me to do it too, but i won't. Turns out one of my friends, who is like the toughest mofo in the world.. puts up almost 500... kicked the fuck out of some kid this weekend while he was bouncing. the kid came back and slit his throat and cut his ear right off. My buddy almost died. Lost half the blood in his body. I doubt $60 a night is worth that.

Well, I must say this... most bouncers that just throw someone out will not have retaliation. You said it yourself, he "kicked the fuck out of some kid".... Almost NEVER would a bouncer NEED to beat someone that bad, and if you do have to get into an altercation, there's never a "need" to shitstomp the guy after he's on the ground, adding insult to injury. Not saying your friend deserved getting his throat slit, but maybe he should question his methods of being a bouncer in a club. If you act like a dick, people won't respect you no matter how big you are. By the way, the fact that he can "put up" almost 500 doesn't mean jack shit as far as being tough. I've escorted many a mouthy, musclebound asshole out of clubs with a simple wristlock. Again, refer to my previous statement, if your friend is only making $60 a night working at a major club, then he is window dressing, and not that tough in the eyes of the owner of the club.

You wanna show how tough you are get into boxing. that way you live to see another day. You never know what kind of crazy fucks are out there these days.

Any person that bounces to "show how tough they are" is simply asking for trouble. Bouncing isn't always about being tough. It isn't the dick-wagging contest that most people turn it into.

Sometimes i get so pissed at the shit i see when i go out. Like some cockmaster will pick a fight with someone cuz they bumped into them. It makes no sense man.

That's true for sure.

What does it prove?? About 2 yrs ago i almost killed a guy that got in my face at a party trying to act tough. He was in the ER for 7 hrs. Had to get reconstructive surgery done to his face and everything.

That just shows that you lack the self control to be a bouncer anyways. I'm not trying to insult you, but the reason bouncers get a bad name is because guys like you who lack the discipline to control themselves become bouncers and fuck people up real bad unnecessarily.

The only reason he is alive today and I am not in jail was cuz his friends broke it up.

If this kid had to have reconstructive surgery because of the beating you gave him, I'm surprised you're not in jail anyways.

I had a couple scratches on me. that's it. What did I accomplish doing it though?? I didn't want to beat the guy down, but i was forced to. I go out to have a good time. Not get in a fight.

That's good, most people do go out for a good time, it's the few assholes that CAN ruin it for everyone if you allow them to. However, if the way you described what happened to you is accurate, you didn't need to beat the guy that bad. Giving someone a couple of smacks in the mouth for being an asshole is one thing, but beating someone into a hospital over bullshit is another thing entirely. That kind of humilitation is the reason people come back after you with guns...

I'm sorry I'm ramblin on, but shit like this happens everywhere.
 
Ok flashman... what do you get into bouncing for then??? If it's just for the money, then why not do any other job besides that??
 
Under 20$/hour, it's not worth your health.

If you go there and tell them about how you used to kick ass before, you wont get the job. They aren't looking for mental cases but rather people who can control and prevent a fight.
 
thanks cas !

im not a head case either :)

Jimsbbc - i was being serious when i said i was gonna do a search, not trying to be a smart ass i havent seen any bouncer threads .
