Maybe. It makes some sense. However I'm not sure what you're judging 'overly stressful' against. Most people think their jobs are pretty damn stressful. But then think about the amount of work you do in both time and responsibilities when compared to 10-14 hour work days Monday thru Saturday and 8 hours on Sunday that some Lawyers and Investment Bankers pull. Not even thinking about jobs where you're responsible for the livelihood of 100s if not thousands of others.

Though its worth noting the highest rate of suicide is among General Practice Dentists.

What I judge the overly stressful part for us is the almost constant harrassment we get at some clubs by some customers who either don't understand what the limits are at our particular clubs and/or don't care. I'm not trying to say that every day is extremely stressful, but more like little bits of stress adding up over time, maybe. See, I've been doing this for four years, and I honestly think I've been at least mildly depressed for at least a year or so, if not more, mainly because just a bunch of little things kept picking away at me. Now, it may be different for others, but I think that cuz I work in a full nude, full contact club, I get some bs that other girls who don't work in full contact clubs may not have to deal with. I'm not knocking them, just explaining that the stress ratio may be different between our two kinds of clubs, ya know?

It's as the old saying goes, it's not the THOUSANDS or HUNDREDS of strippers that are normal just doing they're job, it's that one Horrible lesbian psychopath that does some F'd up stuff that gets guys spreading they're "horror" story around an the rare one in a thousand psycho witch that takes advantage of a poor guy or kills him for cash.

People are obssessed about these things that are big time front page news. So it'll never end because theres always that one in a whatever NUT psycho witch thats going to leave a big nasty emotional scar on some poor guy an you always remember that one F'd up moment someone did to you an forget the bazillions of good ones. I suppose men are more upt to bring forward the nasty horror stories because you go to a SC to enjoy an feel WONDERFUL *birds flying etc) an instead you get the worst moment of your life.. So I suppose it's true, a guy will rant an rave how horrible ALL these women are an to stay away from all of them even thou it's not true.

Interesting thread......

Have low self-esteem
Yes I can honestly say that many dancers I have come across have low self esteem, but then again, many women at school, within my circle of friends, at my other job and within my family have low self esteem as well.

Have a history of being abused
This may be the experience of many, but if you look at statistic of abuse especially abuse towards women, you'd be surprised at how rampant it is all over the world.

Are lesbians (I heard that one on a Christian radio talk show once
Hahaha i know more lesbian working in the club scene than at strip clubs.

Have problems with addictions
With any bar/club/ nightlife environment, you will find more "elements" present than with any day environment. It's the whole party atmosphere that could give rise to this.

I've been dancing off and on for 9 years next month and in my career I would have to say the majority is true.

Most have low self esteem and/or anger issues and/or just messed up.

I don't know about most but a lot have been abused in one way or another.

I've only known 1 full out lesbian. Everyone else was bi or bi-curious or straight.

Almost every dancer I know/known has been on some form of drugs or multiple drugs (myself included). Some never get off of them. It keeps them thin, gives them the energy to keep working and pretty much lets them not care about what is happening.

Hating men. I hear it every night in the dressing room... and lately I have been saying it myself.

Overall my problems are Im just messed up in the head. I have average self esteem but when it comes to men... I let my low self esteem take over if that makes any sense.

I was hoping I wasn't the only one thinking that.

I don't know if this has already been said, sorry if it has but a lot of people think I'm easy because of my job, and people often like to fantasize that I do my job because I have to - not because I want to. I'm no easier than anyone else, ta!
