I'm planning on auditioning at a local club at the end of finals (so nervous) and asked my boyfriend's mom some advice of the best places to work based on her experience, but instead of advice all I've been getting are this constant stream of calls and email about how I'm making a huge mistake.
The normal argument didn't phase me because this is something I'd like to do, not something that is the result of no other options and it is very obviously not the result of no self respect. Blah blah blah.
But this stuck out: She said that she's just worried about my self esteem and that everybody is just so mean. -She said that the customers and the management are rude and just insult everything about me.- I'm not the prettiest girl, but I am attractive with a good body and I have sense...
I can see the other girls sometimes being a problem... but the rest doesn't make sense to me. If somebody is disrespectful, why waste your time dancing for them? I'm sure most girls would not. Could somebody please give me a little insight.
Thank you so much!!![]()

Maybe your BF's mother was just trying to prepare you and make sure you go in with realistic expectations. Stripping can be wonderfully lucrative, but you need a thick skin! You also need to be street smart (i.e. not even a tiny bit naive) and have an unshakable sense of self worth, and you need to learn how to deal with these kinds of people and get what you want from them without letting them break you down. I deal with rude insulting nasty customers and their comments every single night--and I only work in top clubs, so believe me, it's EVERYWHERE. But there are also many more decent customers who are easy to deal with and will spend money. The trick is not letting the bad apples ruin your attitude, b/c a defeated or angry attitude will turn off the nice spendy guys.
