What you love about this job other than the $$
Here's my list, and I have only been dancing for 2 days. ;D
-- You get to play dress-up, wear fun makeup and rock cute shoes that would look crazy elsewhere
-- You get to work on your improv acting ability.
-- Most people I work with create a sort of persona for the job, with everything from a fake name to a fake bio. It's fun to have an alter ego.
-- You get worshipped. Men tell you how beautiful you are all the time, and they acknowledge the little things about you. Last time I worked, I heard: "You have killer up-look eyes, maybe even better than James Dean!" and "Are your lips real?"
-- While dancing on the stage is about showing how hot you are, dancing in private is about making the guy feel wanted. So if you do it well, you end up boosting someone's self-esteem.

^That plus I stay in shape far better than I would on my own. And it helps me break out of my normal introverted shell for awhile.
-
Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
^Yeah, it is a great way to stay in shape!
Plus, I LOVE sexy shoes, and it's not very often you get a chance to wear 6 inch heels in everyday life.
And, i t is empowereing to see how easy it is to put a spell on guys!

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
^Agreed on all the above.
-It keeps me in fresh mani-pedis, with a tan and freshly touched up roots. I wouldn't take as good of care of myself without the excuse that it's a "business expense." In the end I'm happier for spending on meeeee!
-When I'm sick, not in the mood, have something better to do.... I just don't show up and there's nobody to answer to, no calling in sick. I'm in complete control of my schedule.
-If I don't like where I'm working I just have to show up and I have a new job somewhere else.
-The instant gratification of CA$H every shift. I get paid when I need it.
-
Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
^I forgot about the instant gratification of cash. No waiting for a paycheck!

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
I guess it kinda goes hand in hand with the money, but not working 5 days a week is the best thing ever.

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
*the look on the cashier's face when you pay for a $150 grocery order in all $1's
*Drinking on the job is encouraged
*Take a vacation somewhere, dance one night, then relax the rest of the trip and write the whole thing off on taxes
*Hobo lifestyle with high income potential
*The look on people's faces when you reveal your profession for the first time}:D
*Seeing that guy that dumped you and broke your heart while working in the club. The pathetic loser is now paying women like you for entertainment. hehehe!
*The music!
*Sexual variety without guilt
*Sleeping all day and playing all night
*You know exactly which restaurants are open all night, and what they offer and their prices
*Meeting uber-wealthy people and realizing that they are as flawed as everyone else
*Meeting powerful people that you now have dirt on.
*Working with other beautiful women. So many times office politics are about personal jealousy and have nothing to do with the person's actions on the job. I think most of us have been held back by that fat mean woman in HR at some point in her corporate career.
*The stories we can tell! That alone will get you invited to awesome parties for the rest of your life.
* You know how to score just about any illegal substance.
*Can easily meet famous people. (usually musicians, but sometimes sports figures, actors and politicians)
*You learn a thousand different ways to say "No. I will not have sex with you for money or for free, but I'm going to give you hope so that you keep spending money on me."
*Using learned stripper mojo to get men out of the club to do your bidding. (they are much more vulnerable to SS when not in the club):P
*You get to retire around the age of 40.

You can usually start with something like:
"I couldn't think of a nicer person to ask me that, but I just can't go home with you because [fill in the blank]."
Then let your body language say the opposite of what your words are saying. It is sort of like saying "no" while nodding yes (just more subtle).
People communicate mostly through body language. Try telling someone that you like them while shaking your head as if to say "no". The person you are talking to won't believe your words, only your body language.
70% of human communication is through body language and voice tone. That is why a phrase like "Well, that's just great." needs to be spoken in order to understand exactly what is communicated.
So ends your first lesson on SS (stripper shit). Go forth and prosper!

Thanks Paris!!! Much appreciated.
I am still wondering what [fill in the blank] would be filled with though. :P

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
Am I the only one who thinks its fun and empowering to walk around naked in public?
I found out I liked this as soon as I started dancing. Sometimes I would just not get dressed again after my stage shift and walk slowly back to the dressing room, through the club, totally nude. For some reason it just made me feel like I ruled the world.

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
I agree with all that have been mentioned. I would like to list my favorites.
1. The fact I am really my own boss (in a small way) even though I work a schedule at most clubs. The only thing good here in FL is I don't have a schedule (which can be good and bad). I work the way I believe is best for me, there isn't a produce I need to follow.
2. I become a starlit once I get on stage. I feel so sexy and confident when I am on stage dancing to whatever song I feel in the mood for that day. Looking into that mirror on stage and looking at myself in my fav. outfit while the lights flash. (Granted there is a good dj and lighting) I am the one making this song hot, I am the one causing custies to get hot and bothered. Looking into some eyes and luring him/her into a wanting trance to empty his pockets once I blew his mind with my lap dance.
3. If a custy is an asshat (love that word) I don't have to continue to be nice like my friends' working somewhere else. I will call you what you are if you take me to that point.
4. Dressing up, becoming your own little hot model/starlit. Being yourself and sexy and getting paid for it is such a turn on for me.
5. Although I wish all round this business have more respect, in a way, I love being apart of this so-called secret, underground dirty world.

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
I love:
-The freedom of scheduling.
-The freedom to be myself or anybody else!
-The attention.
-The fact that I keep on top of all of my personal maintenance for the job. It keeps Boyfriend happy!
-I can drink, eat and be merry, all while getting paid and not having to "clock out" for break!
-Getting pretty and being praised for it.
-Being able to meet some really fascinating people.
-Meeting assholes and telling them off. Even better is to walk away and leave them wondering.
Plus I like all of Paris' reasons, too!

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$

-I like being naked and at work I get to be naked.
-If somebodies a jerk you dom't have to grin and bear it like you would at almost any other job.

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
I didn't read anything but the op... what I love most about this job is probably going to be repeated but..
I love dancing onstage and getting all the attention.
I love guys telling me i'm hot all the time haha, it inflates my over inflated ego even more.
I love buying new costumes and getting all excited.
I love the excuse to wear fake eyelashes and really dark makeup. Also i love the excuse to get my nails done and go tanning.
I know most other girls won't say this but I love getting a buzz and being a party girl and it helps me make lots of money.
I really enjoy my regulars' company. All of them are really cool in their own way and I actually look forward to seeing them when they come in and exchanging stories.
I love the music and the night club feel.

Re: What you love about this job other than the $$
At this point, being a bit burned out, I can say that I still love the stage. Hands down. Always will. Nothing beats being the queen for 15 minutes.

The freedom, being able to travel to work anywhere in the country, meeting interesting people.
