Has being a dancer changed your views on dating? & What is the normal response you get when you tell a guy that you're a dancer?
there are so many threads that deal with this topic....but anyways...
The response I used to get before I got remarried ranged from outright "no way am I dating a whore" to "that is so fucking hott". On the fucking hot side, most of the guys just wanted a "trophy girlfriend".
If I was back in the dating scene I would be extremely careful and sure of the guys intentions before I committed exclusively to him and the relationship.
Agreed. When dancing full time I was careful of guys I dated. I found that most of the guys either thought I was a whore for dancing, thought it was hot, or didn't want to date me at all. I made sure every guy I dated knew it was just a job, and was not involved in the "lifestyle". Strangely, I quit club dancing many years ago and am now seeing a former customer. I've asked if it bothers him that I was a dancer and he said no. It was a no contact, bikini club so that might make a difference. However, he said we could never tell his devout Catholic parents how we met (we say we met at a restaurant).
I think that's one of the hardest things to drill into people's heads. That just because you dance doesn't make you a bad person & yeah the scandalous shit does go on exist but you don't have to be a part of it. It's all personal choices
It made me more confident and I became pickier on the types of people I wanted to be around in general, not just date.
The normal response I got was "That's cool, how do you like it?" or "Are you comfortable with that?"
I loved it because I could rely on me like I should. And obviously I was comfortable with it or I wouldn't have told anyone about it.
