"You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back On"
So....a particular very close person to me decided he wanted to tell me that since I have been dancing on and off since I was 18 now that Im in my early 30s that I really didnt do a good job of planning for my exit out of dancing. He has spoken poorly of girls who r say 28, or 29 and r trying to wrap up their 2 year degrees alot like me...Although I am a couple years older than them he has no room to speak. The more Im around him the more I see how much of an asshole he really is. He has very little compassion or understanding. I guess no one dancing is good enough or doing the right thing in their life in his eyes. Thing is why the fuck be involved with one then?!!! Sorry guys just really aggravated.

Guys like that suck. I once had a guy friend who was very judgemental and used to tell me that women still dancing in their early 30's were losers, no man would want them, etc. He'd go on to tell me that no men want a woman who had a career because men only want a housewife. This is all of course bs but sometimes people like to put down people to make themselves feel better. Men especially do this to women they can't have (this guy wanted me but I refused to be a submissive woman like he wanted).
I wouldn't worry about the whole college thing because people go back at all ages. Are you at a disadvantage? Perhaps, especially in this economy, but in the long run probably not.

Did he sound mean or concerned when he said it? He may have been trying to help because his ignorance told him "Who in their right mind would want to be a stripper? They must have nothing else going for them!" Hahahahaha what a dumbass. You should gain his sympathy and get him to give you all his money! }:D

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
Thanks u guys :). Yea he is my bf unfortunately. And no i wont be submissive. You guys r right I refuse to be submissive and some men do put women down bc either theyve been shown that by father perhaps--or bc they r chauvinist pigs who think men r superior to women. Its too bad they r nice at first yet in time how they really feel kicks in. Also I may not want to admit it but part of it may be his genuine concern for the fact that I have no real good job prospects I am 6 to 8 difficult classes away from getting my 2 year degree. What really upsets me is y if u dont ultimately respect dancers for what they do--do u get nvolved with and live with one then? Y make me feel like shit even if in ur own way u do supposedly really care?

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
His comments strike me as funny. They seem to suggest that most people have some sort of financial security by the time they hit 30 and that isn't even slightly realistic in my experience.
Most people have not finished building their wealth and hit the point where they can lay back and retire at 30. That's ridiculous. That being said, dancing in your early 30s is a damn fine way to speed up that process so you can hit retirement earlier.
I'm in my early 30s too. Most of the people our age that I encounter are living from paycheck to paycheck. They don't have savings and can't afford to miss any work. That's pretty standard for 30 year old Americans.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
Yep. My ex bf used to give me greif because I *gasp!* started dancing and it was soooooo terrible ( and on and on and on ). He would use the phrase " You don't have it together like I thought you did " . I had to remind him that at 29 HE was still living at Mommies house ( yuck..... lol ) . It wasn't until his mid 30's that he really got it together! We have an age gap ( he's 12 years older ) so I got the "together" part . I would even get jealous of him in many ways and my best friend would have to remind me " ummm ... date more guys that are 42 ..... they will also have the house / sports car / ect. " . It takes time.
It can be rough to have someone comments make you second guess your decision but they are YOUR decisions.

Thats what I was thinking the whole time I was reading the OP. Guy sounds like a dick. There is still time for you to do whatever you want.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
I completely agree. I think guys fantasize about dating a dancer because its "hot" - but when it comes down to it, few actually have the self-confidence to make it through a relationship with one. Lashing out at you regarding his poorly pre-conceived notions regarding timelines of financial security are nothing more than a testament to his poorly developed ego. Men, in my opinion, resort to the "jab" when they don't possess the emotional maturity to appropriately express themselves.
In less eloquent terms - FUCK HIM.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
He seems insecure about himself so he putting other strippers down and you. What does he do.. what did he accomplish... ? My ex/bf is insecure... I think, so he doesnt want me to dance for his benefit due his behaviour, BUT he does make go to class (when I didnt want to) and overall wants me to finish my program in a postive manner. Your boyfriend seems to be bothered by something... Does he try to help you out? Does he offer postive feedback towards your goals? If he remains overall nagative about you going to school and trying to achieve a second path, then he needs his ass kicked to the curb. Doesnt matter whether your 20, 30, 40 a person can be laid off, fired, have no career options etc that they have to re-start over at ANY age. Dont feel bad, this isnt your fault to his behaviour, you seemed really stressed (your last thread) and he seems to be making your life more stressful when you are trying to work, go to school and generall figure out your path. Tell him to be postive towards you, your job and your schooling... If he doesnt, you really deserve better because you seem like a good person. Most people I've known didnt hit off "nicely" till after 40 to have a nicer things in life and being able to relax to an extend.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
Thank u all for ur input <3. I have been getting really down on myself. A year ago things were better--this past year was a real bitch--2010. I lost one of my good regulars--wasnt my fault actually and my other really good regular has for the most part run out of money. SO I have had the dilemma of making less than half of the money per week than I was previously making. When I told my bf how much Im struggling his response is---"Well its time for a new career now isnt it?"...I explained to him how the money comes and goes in waves. For ex when I was in my early 20s I had gained some weight then there was the terrorist attacks..Those were times were I could barely survive bc there was less money overall in the clubs. Then when I was 28 I did the best I did since I was 20/21. It isnt predictable and thats y I say it happens in waves. Customers come and go most dont stay forever and if they do they slowly tip u less and less or disappear altogether. I think everything I have been struggling w has been a combination of things. And truthfully there rnt many people I can talk to about this--not many people understand this world. What makes me stay w my bf is that just as my bf is a dickhead he then turns around and does super nice helpful things and says he loves me quite often. Ive always owned the fact that I have the difficult emotional issues and insecurities myself..But really he has his own set too. Regardless when someone is ultimately helpful even if u have to push them bc theyre a little lazy--its hard to write them off and up and leave. I think its partly his crap but also issues w other people and clubs---My main club has pretty much shit on me and wont put me in the spot I desire..So I have recently went to work at another club where the average age of dancers is between 28-38. There are alot of girls who r between 30-38 honestly and perhaps thats where I primarily need to finish my career out. my home club has become very overly--o shes a new girl and has hired alot of younger talent..Thats just the name of the game but I feel that w me being one of the oldest dancers there now its looked down upon there..Im simply not appreciated there anymore since theyve recently gotten a shitload of new girls..That ultimately has upset me..It will just take time and I will get over it and I have my own plan for what Im going to do about that bar. I want to set myself up a little better than I am now and thats what Im working on now. :) I am going to work to get myself in a better position. And I want to keep working on that no matter if I break up w my bf and struggle getting over him or whatever. I just want to eventually be stronger than I am today.

Yes! I thought my life was falling into place a few years ago. I finally got into middle management, making decent, planning to buy a house, paid off my bills, etc. I then lost my job and since then have been struggling to pay bills. I know people older than me wh owned houses, had kids, etc and had to move back home. Just because someone is financially secure doesn't mean they always will. I know many re training for jobs because theirs went overseas.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
Going way back to the original post, and with absolutely no offense intended, I'll offer a somewhat different line of thought.
As can be found in other threads, there have been past discussions about 'serious professional dancers'. These are girls who treat dancing as their primary and exclusive career ( in the short term at least ). These are girls who start dancing right out of high school. These are girls who dance 5 nights a week 50 weeks a year. These are girls who change clubs in the same city / relocate to different cities / travel seasonally in order to 'follow the money'. These are also girls who, although they are earning $2000+ a week on a regular basis, have the financial discipline to limit their spending and save / invest a significant portion of their dancing earnings.
Using that 'prism', a 30 year old 'serious professional dancer' who has been dancing full time since high school should have been able to set aside perhaps $30-$40k per year in savings. With compound interest, capital gains, dividend reinvestment etc. after 12 years of dancing she should have already built up a 'nest egg' approaching 1/2 million dollars.
Obviously girls who choose to dance 2-3 nights a week aren't going to achieve this. Neither are girls who choose ( or who don't have a choice and are forced ) to remain living and working in a city with poor earnings potential aren't going to achieve this either. Neither are girls who are able to earn big money, but who also choose to spend it as fast as they earn it.
So from a particular point of view, girls whose only real career accomplishment between age 18 and age 30 has been to dance part time, spend money as fast as they earned it, and saveing / investing next to nothing, have indeed allowed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity pass them by.
However, if during the same time period, they have managed to obtain an 'in demand' college degree and/or valuable 'straight job' work experience while dancing part time, then their positive accomplishments are also present but need to be measured with a different yardstick !
In regard to the 'nothing to fall back on' claim, if a 'serious professional dancer' puts out a full time effort and adheres to financial discipline while working from the age of 18, by age 35 or so ( where her body and psyche start whispering 'it's time to retire' ) her 'nest egg' should be approaching $750k or so. With some fairly straightforward investment management, that sized nest egg should be able to provide her with at the very least $30-40k in passive annual income for the rest of her life. With that level of passive income available, it really doesn't matter what sort of work she wants to do, or what sort of pay rate that work involves, after she retires from dancing !!! In other words, there is no need to 'fall back on' anything !!!
In fact, since I retired ( after ~17 years of 'serious professional dancing' ), the only things that I have to worry about 'falling back on' are lounge chairs, boat decks and beds LOL !

I wish that I was a serious professional dancer. But I have to be honest with myself and admit I did not know wtf I was doing when I was 18 and started out. There was no SW that I was aware of hell I didnt even get a computer til 2002. I had no one to help me really and I def wasnt smart or strong enough to invest. Also this area fot the most part is not a 300+ a night earnings area. Right now u r doing good if u r pulling 100 a shift sadly. And I have over the years needed to only dance part time just to be able to handle the job. I wouldve burnt myself out to hell if I worked 5 days a week for 10+ years. But Melonie, u r a very capable and smart woman. Wish I had been smart like u years ago. Although I was approached at 21 by a feature dancer who wanted me to team up w her and pose in penthouse and a couple other mags at 21 I never wanted to invest all the money and travel like 3 weeks out of every month. I felt that would be very lonely for me. At that time I didnt want to pose in mags or do any videos..Idk y..Just gut told me I didnt want to. Hell call me lazy if u want. But as far as making it a career dancing has sort of been my career. I did live many years where I made money paid bills and blew the rest...Stupid Stupid--but it happened. I do have some money now..But it isnt what It could and shouldve been. I just try to appreciate what i do have and realize some people have nothing at all put aside. Some people righ tnow rnt able to make all their bills. So I consider myself lucky to have a roof over my head--food to eat--a vehicle to drive--bills paid---. Some people working regular jobs cant say that. I may have not done the best job--but at least Im making it. :)

Increasingly true !!! And in all probability, many of those working at 'regular jobs' that no longer pay well enough to 'live on' ( or already 'laid off' from their former 'regular jobs' ) thought that they were following a successful career plan when they started working 10 years ago !!!

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
There are a couple of ways to look at this one (from the perspective of whether you had "planned badly", not from whether or not the guy is a douche...)
1. If you had decided to work as a stripper and nothing else, save money, and retire, then yes, you probably didn't plan too well. BUT it doesn't sound like this is what you are doing. Like Melonie said - if you were a professional stripper, and hadn't saved anything from the age of 18 to 30, that would be a problem.
2. If you are a sidelining stripper - working through college, working while building a career on another side, working for extra cash, etc etc, then not having anything really saved at 30 is NOT a big deal at all!! If you are working to pay your bills for a few years, and you did so, then great! You achieved that goal.
I think that you shouldn't be too concerned about someone else opinions of your place in life or your life goals - and almost every stripper I know wishes that she had saved more when she started, spent less on silly things, etc etc. I also think that a lot of outsiders think that you can't keep dancing past 30....even though I've known women in their early 40s who danced and did well!! Its because we all look so young...lol
If you are doing a degree, paying your bills, and starting to get to where you want to go - you are probably doing better than a lot of the 30 yr olds out there....

Yes. With all due respect to Melonie (who I think is amazing with her financial smarts) I don't think she's the majority of dancers. I wish in hindsight I had saved but I was young and it was the first time I had lots of money.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
^^^ as I already said in an earlier posting, in regard to #2 it's an equally 'valuable' achievement, but it's necessary to use a different 'yardstick' ( besides money in the bank ) to measure the value of those achievements. Paying one's bills, ( working toward ) a college degree, building a resume' etc. are all 'valuable' in and of themselves.
If there's any unfortunate side to this, it's that the 'promise of success' provided by a college degree and a 'straight job' 10+ years ago has, like the promise that real estate values will always going up, seen unprecedented economic changes rewrite the earlier 'rules of the game'.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
Yes, in some ways the fact that Ive been slowly achieving the goal of completing a degree(s) is commendable and I suppose not a waste it is only a two year degree. That doesnt get u a whole lot these days job wise is what Im worried about. And its taken me forever to complete a lousy 2 yr degree. However I have been going at a rate of no more than 2 classes per semester. It was hard n my twenties bc like Kelly mentioned when u have the kind of money dancing provides and really I didnt have all that much compared to the earnings of other dancers u want to live it up and spoil urself.
Man, did I live in my twenties..I would fly out to Vegas to see my ex on a moments whim...I did things when I wanted them and it was great...Real life to someone who is ultimately poor? Prolly not..But I experienced so much and took so many risks..Now that Im n my early 30s I want to find myself..It seemed like in my 20s I was completely lost. Now Im trying to find myself and move onto something that suits me. I may even stay n the bar scene but switch occupations for a little while..All while fingers crossed having 1-2 degrees looking for something that fits me..I have my backup for when I can no longer dance but dont yet have the job I want to carry me from say age 40 on....

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
ps--side note There were years when say I was 23-24 when I could barely make enough money to pay my bills and eat. It was very hard-actually virtually impossible to save anything then....MOney is and has not been consistent around here..Kinda makes it hard to save for any retirement. I saved when things were really good bc I new it would all come to and end again..I knew better.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
It's easy for a third party to pass judgement on your life. I'm sure your boyfriend is no Suze Orman either. Point is it's none of anyone's business how you have survived since you became an adult. If you have enjoyed your life all the while that's even better. Not everyone measures success in dollar increments.

I call my 20's my lost decade because I was a mess. I never did drugs or had a lot of sex, but made many foolish decisions that even today I am sort of paying job. I was spending money and just having fun. Add in that I was pretty to boot (something everyone here can relate to) and that adds even more. I "woke up" around 29 because I didn't want to be like this the rest of my life. My 30's were a time of being financially responsible until the last few years when I lost my job. Now I am about to go into my 40's and hope things get even better.

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
That's true not everyone measures success in dollar increments, but it seems like the majority of the world does. Everyone judges everyone by their job which is unfair. Yet, I did buy myself alot of experiences..those were the truly fun things..Going for rides in the mountains..climbing the moutains, coming across a wild bear...I saw so many things in so many different states, I was spoiled beyond belief by certain guys..Had incredible dinners...One was almost 800 one nite...Anyways point is I learned alot..I learned that people who have money can buy people and that wasnt what I really wanted. I wanted love over money. It seems like a no brainer that being with someone bc of what they can give u isnt going to last. But coming from nothing--being poor the allure of material things was reeling...And once one person has spolied u the other comes in and tries to provide alot...And then I ended up loving someone who told me straight out I cant spoil u like everyone else..I dont have the money. I respected that he wanted to be with me but couldnt offer the things the former bfs could. I chose love over maybe someone who could provide more monetarily.
I really experienced enough almost for an entire lifetime in my 20s. Now I want to settle down..But its hard to find the right person..Its hard to find a workable match. Some guys r intimidated or feel "Ive been around" too much prior to them..but thats life and they had also been a few years younger than me so thats usually what someone who has a couple years on u has--more life experiences. I find that only guys my age or a little older really get my point of view...There r the exceptions I suppose..But guys my age usually have been married, r married or have kids..I cant relate to them in that aspect and I dont mesh w alot of guys my age due to that..which is y I end up w younger guys who have not been married and have no kids--

Re: "You Planned Badly BC U R Dancing in Ur Early 30s and Have Nothing to Fall Back O
As for how bf views my lack of achievements..Its never too late..he doesnt see that but then again he doesnt fully understand the business of dancing so f him ultimately..Im in school now and Im really trying to work a little harder this semester. I know Im going to make it. It may take a while but I will eventually get where I need to be. Thank u all for ur support...You guys r the best :)
