Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
The reason why I ask cause, although people have told me I am very cute, sexy, and that I have a great body, I also know that I am an extreme introvert( I have only about two good friends. EVER! in my lifetime) although I am a bit social, I can be very socially awkward sometimes, and tend to say what's on my mind. I am a homebody, and huge GEEK to the point where my idea of fun is writing stories,comics,spending to much time on the net, reading about useless fun facts, and just curling up, & reading a good book. Basically I am almost everything that is the exact of what I think a stripper should be. But I love to dance. I was dancing before I could walk,and I have been told that I am naturally gifted at dancing
And as of now I am working a job part time, that does not pay enough. I have a shit ton of bills,student loans to pay off, and plus my car is in dire need of fixing,and I need some fast extra cash, to pay all these things off so I thought why not go into the strip club industry for a little while.

The whole idea of what a stripper should be is a myth. Plenty of strippers are geeks.
The only thing that might hurt you is being an extreme introvert. How extreme is it? If you can't approach people and talk to them, you're going to have a very hard time. All the other stuff about your personality doesn't really matter when it comes to stripping. Men like variety.

+1 ^^^^. Plenty of girls on this board are introverts, including me. The search function might turn up a thread or two on stripping w/ an introvert personality. If your introversion is that extreme, have you considered camming?
Re: Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
Oh I can talk to people, and have no qualms with associating with folks.The job I am currently at,requires lots of talking to strangers. When I say introvert I a little more on the reticent side of the spectrum, and I am very selective about the people I hang around with on a personal level.I am not so shy at all, just a tad bit socially awkward.

Another geeky introvert here!

I'm an introvert too! You don't have to be a stereotypical bubbly giggly dancer to be successful. Not at all!

Another introvert checking in :goodvibes
Seriously though, you'll be fine. I can be awkward too especially with other awkward custies haha, but if it gets too awkward, you can always just ask for a dance!! Works for me.
Re: Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
I'm also an introvert. I also have no problem talking to strangers, and even enjoy it. But, as is probably the same with you, after too much, it drains me and I need a lot of time to myself to recharge. If this is you, don't strip too many days a week or you'll burn out with going through too much personal stimulation without enough down time. Even extroverted strippers need more downtime outside of work than people in normal jobs do.
But, also, if you've never done it before, keep your options open. Dancing on stage is a very small part of the job in most places. If you think you'd enjoy it or be good at it because of that aspect, you should read around the board a bit to get more of a sense of what it really entails.
I say, keep your part time job and give it a shot. You don't have to be socially graceful (trust me, even a lot of extroverted strippers totally aren't), but you might not like it regardless. If you do, cool. I'd say, still keep the part time job so you don't have to dance too many nights a week. And if you don't like it, you can always quit without complication.

You'll be fine. Try to work on the slower nights and approach older gentlemen and lonely types. Groups or parties may be too intimidating at first, but you'll work out a way to work with the groups of guys, too.

As long as you're not one of those little idgets trying to make friends or treating this job as a huge topless slumber party/mixer you should be fine. I'm not very social at work either. Best advice is buy a pair of tits. They do all the talking for you.
Re: Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
I am an extreme introverted geek who had a hard time approaching people yet managed to be successful. I managed to do it by thinking of the bigger picture and also creating my own dancer persona.
Re: Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
Introvert or not doesn't matter. The beautiful thing about stripping is the variety--there are all kinds of girls with different personalities :)
It's mainly about being a good actress and being able to hold a conversation with a customer until he decides he wants a dance!
Re: Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
I'm a huge geek. Science and math is my forte. I took chaos mathematics in college just for fun. Yep, I'm a GEEK! And I'm an introvert. The best thing about stripping for me was creating my own stripper persona. She's mostly the opposite of me. She's outgoing, will talk to anyone - about anything, and just doesn't give a damn what other people think. Girls who've known me outside the club, don't believe that it's always me inside the club. It's my fantasy world, and the men and women that visit the club are just visiting it...
Re: Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
i'm an extreme introvert as well. i use it to my advantage and work the shy, bashful, "nice girl", girlfriend experience angle a lot. but at the same time don't take no shit off anyone either..there are some people who think just because i'm a bit timid they can pressure me into stuff.
Re: Am I the right type of prson to be stripping? A little background on myself.
You sound just like me, OP! I only have two friends and they have to drag me out of the house because I'm a hermit. I love playing games like World of Warcraft and going to comic cons and stuff. I am also very introverted. Dancing has actually helped me to come out of my shell because I'm forced to talk to people. There's as much variety among dancers as there is among, say, waitresses. All different personalities and backgrounds. A lot of guys like the nerdy chick thing...IT guys really love me and they usually spend $$ too!
