Life outside the club for those with implants
Numerous other threads have discussed the possible work benefits of dancers with breast implants, but one angle that hasn't been addressed is how they affect the rest of dancers' lives away from the strip club, since you live with them 24/7. Have owning larger breasts changed the way people perceive you? Do they consequently underestimate your intelligence -- something I bet Melonie experiences all the time -- or make (erroneous) assumptions about your sexuality? Any interesting, or funny stories, about people's reaction to your new, improved bustline when you're not working?

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
Well, I'm Ms. Oddball here, cuz I didn't have implants until AFTER I retired from dancing. In fact, my experience dancing is part of what drove me to get my BA.
I feel a HELL of a lot more confident now. Clothes fit better. When I was getting ready to get married, and trying on dresses (before the BA), I looked in the mirror and I looked like a 12 year old playing dress up.
Obviously, you have to pay a LOT closer attention to posture when you're carrying around few extra pounds. That means a couple of things. For me, I end up wearing heels nearly ALL the time. Also, you have to constantly and religiously hit the gym every day to keep back and shoulder muscles toned.
Do people look at me differently now? Yep!!! You get used to it, though!

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
My life outside the club is completely different ever since I got implants. I am much more confident, but people tend to perceive me as a bimbo. Usually, whenever men approach me, the first question they ask me is: What do You do for a living? I usually tell them that I a student (which I am), and they usually say oooohhh really, I thought you were like a stripper, or a porn star, or something. I think asking a person what they do for a living is very rude when, it is the first question asked (before asking name and age). Also, I find that a large number of people (men and women) approach me in all settings (school, bar, restaurant, grocery store) and ask the infamous question: Are those real? This is a very rude question, and I hate when people ask me this. I mean is it reall any of their business if my breasts are real. After all, nobody asks me if my hair (which is down my back) or my eyes (which are light brown) are real. This is one of the rudest questions, u should never, ever ask a person if something on them is real or fake. Also ever since I got my implants men don't take me seriously at all. They used to take me seriously before I got my implants, but now they think that I am unintelligent. I love my new boobs, and wouldn't trade them for the world, but peope outside of the club need to learn cosmetic surgery/question asking etiquette!!!!

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
That's very interesting CK....I guess you can never not be a stripper.
I will admit that when I see a girl at the beach or concert or whatever and she has implants, I wonder if she's a stripper.....and I should know better.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
Being that I'm Chinese with implants,people don't know what to make out of me most of the time.I get asked if I model and/or dance.It has made a huge difference in how people perceive and treat me.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
I am a blonde with big boobs......I get the normal 'Bimbo" comments. Even my classmates have called me a "Bimbo" every now and then. Luckily, My gpa stays higher than theirs...So I love seeing the expressions on their faces when it comes times for grades.
I had one guy this morning come up to me in the grocery store.....He kept staring at me (my chest), smiled, looked back down at my chest. 10 minutes later, He finally asked my name. I politely told him,"Ya know...I can buy you your own set of boobs that you can stare at"....
I get the Bimbo shit a lot though....Or the "Pamela anderson" crap. My boobs are nowhere near that big, shit.
You eventually get used to it. I mostly laugh at the comments and tend to not give it a second thought.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
My boobs are a 36 DDD. I also get lots of looks from people. I have had random people just come up to me and ask "are those real" or "are those yours'? WTF It's none of their business what I do with my body. I have even had people go to my husband with those questions. He doesn't seem to react to it very well.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
We usually address the issue of life outside the club when someone is asking about whether to get implants. It's something we have to think about before making the decision to get them....whether you'll want them after dancing, etc, but on a stripper site we're of course going to focus more on the business aspects of the issue.
I knew going in that people would see me differently both in and outside of work. I got past caring what most people think long ago, and focus on what makes ME happy. Guys saw me as a sex object and women were bitches around me before the implants (when I dressed more sexy). I had C-D cups naturally and people asked if they were real or not ::) so I was already used to that type of questioning. I already tended to stick out in a crowd because of my very long red hair, so implants didn't make much difference there.
The only real difference is now the focus on my chest is exaggerated - more staring in public. I also get more people asking about them inappropriately, like the saleslady at a high end women's clothing store ::) when I'm trying to find a top to match a skirt I just bought. I mean I'd expect that more from someone at a Charlotte Russe store (they don't ask) but not at the fanciest mall in town! Just shows you can't buy manners.
No one ever asks if I'm a stripper and most seem genuinely shocked if I tell them - so either I look too nerdy with my glasses and conservative clothes or they're all really good actors. It's weird, I've always gotten attention to some degree but apparently never in that 'stripper way', with or without implants. Of course I'm pretty oblivious to most of it so who knows? People have always told me others are checking me out when I never even noticed.
I don't make any assumptions on other women based on whether they have implants, I make them based on their overall appearance and demeanor. Some women just look / act like strippers and I regularly catch myself thinking or commenting "must be a stripper", but their chest generally has little to do with it. So many civilian women have implants these days that's a poor way to guage.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
Hehehe, I befriended a girl once who had very obvious implants. I figured she was a dancer too, and I told he I strip and asked her where she danced. She was horrified, told me I was degrading myself and I was better than that...her daddy bought hers for her 18th birthday.....LOL!
See, even strippers get confused! ;)

You've GOT to be careful about this! New boobies are the current "in" H/S graduation gift out here on the left coast. In my neck of the woods (Seattle) it's pretty rampant, but in southern Calif, it's an epidemic. PLUS, all of the girls want to get 'em right when they turn 18, half-way thru the school year, so they'll be all healed by Prom and bikini season. I hear a LOT of docs will now do them for 17 year olds with parental permission just so the girls can be perfect for H/S graduation time.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
WTF? My boobies weren't even fully developed at 18! Is that REALLY necessary??

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
Oh my gosh, I ididn't mean it like that. I often wonder if a girl is a stripper if she has implants also, and sometimes I will ask my friends what they think. But that is completely different from approaching the person with implants, and asking the person if their breasts are real. There is nothing wrong with wondering, or talking among friends about the topic, but to actually approach the person and ask them if their breasts are real can be offensive in some situations.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
My implants made me proportionate; I am already tall and thick. When people meet me, though, they still can't take their eyes off my boobs! I don't get offended if people ask if they are real or fake. In fact, I'm proud of the fact that I saved the money myself and made the investment not only in my work/career, but in my self image. Some folks are standoffish, especially women with their oh-so-valuable men in tow. Once they realize that I'm just a fun loving dork and not just a pair of walking DDs trying to steal their man, they calm down. I have had people (mostly men) accuse me of thinking I have a sense of entitlement because I'm blond with big boobs, but they're just trying to be mean and hey, I don't have time for that. Some people think they can talk down to me or about me, but I figure, hey, if they're talking about me, that means they're THINKING about me, too!;D
Overall, though I am received very positively. People stare, but to me, it's a compliment. I figure, there are so many other things they could be looking at, but they choose me!;)

Yep..... I'm not saying it's NECESSARY. I'm saying that it's the latest craze among the "I'm getting a BMW for graduation" crowd.
...which, by the way, is a pretty big crowd the closer you get to the Microsoft campus.
And yeah, how many of us were developed at 18? I mean really!!!! I saw this special on cable not too long ago about how they pick "Page 3" girls in England. Over there, apparently, girls under 18 can pose, but they never hire them cuz they're never fully developed. Page 3 girls are more often in their 20's because of this.
But yeah, as silly as it sounds, plastic surgeons will do the deed at 18.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
Whenever I see a girl with implants I never think "Oh she's a stripper" Then again, I am in LA, and everyone here has implants. The first thing I think is, "I bet those look horrrible with her shirt off- ha."

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
^ I know you didn't come on here just to insult us. If you don't perfer implants that is fine, but please keep you negitivity to yourself!!!!!!!
-
Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
^I don't prefer implants either. Sorry if it offends you!
I almost always think "stripper" when I see a young woman with an obvious boob job. Unless they are very athletic/muscular. Then I become curious about whether they compete in figure or fitness competions, since I am around many in the bodybuilding industry. A large percentage of the girls I know that compete have boob jobs.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
Thanks for all the comments so far; I hope this topic wasn't perceived as prurient. Of the dancers I've known, many have been fine conversationalists with lively, intelligent personalities...whether or not they've had implants. (And I've never believed IQ was inversely proportional to bust size.)

When you're a H/S girl, with a weight problem, and a high IQ, there IS an inverse proportionality (LOL -- a stripper using a six-syllable word!) between all of that and self-image. Not EVERY girl grabs herself by the stilletto straps, tosses off "victim-hood", and does something about it, but bunches of us do. You get your ass on the stair climber and loose the friggin weight. You grab your piggy bank and head to the plastic surgeon to pay retail for what Mama Nature sold to other girls wholesale. And yeah, sometimes doing a stint as a dancer or a model or what-have-you is all part of the healing process.
So there.... my two cents worth.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
get this, I ewas reading my trash mag...cosmo for january and there is a full page ad for discounted breast inhancement for 2999.99 and lip for like 1999.99. how random is that?

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
BTW, when I can get the cash or a SD...Im getting them done, I have really shitty credit so I dont think they'd do financing for me. My pics are under pic post. But I want them a medium B. I really really want them to look natural when they drop. Im paranoid about that.

Re: Life outside the club for those with implants
honestly I try not to stare..... but I am a man :shamed: ;)
and my theory is as long as you dont take them off at night they are real - wheather you bought 'em or not.
