    Default "stripper secrets" in Psychology Today magazine

    I found this PT article online, and I thought it was interesting. Sooo I'm waiting until after my period to audition, lol, better chances.

    Don't know if you guys have seen it yet, but i noticed some girls mentioning how they noticed the link between ovulation/period/$$$. According to some psychologists, it's totally true. Though I don't doubt that there are always exceptions; every woman's body is different.

    "The Stripper's Secret"
    Flaunting your fertility makes for big tips. The showgirl's guide to maximizing income.

    Unlike their sisters in the animal kingdom, human females don't openly advertise their ovulation. But even without a human version of the baboon's bright pink behind, signs of fertility sneak out, according to several studies. Subconsciously, women dress more provocatively and men find them prettier when it's prime time for conception. And a report from the University of New Mexico demonstrates that the cyclic signs have economic consequences.

    Psychologist Geoffrey Miller and colleagues tapped the talent at local gentlemen's clubs and counted tips made on lap dances. Dancers made about $70 an hour during their peak period of fertility, versus about $35 while menstruating and $50 in between.


    Miller links the wage fluctuations to changes in body odor, waist-to-hip ratio, and facial features. Despite operating at the upper limits of flirtatiousness already, he says there may also be subtle shifts in their behavior—"how they talk and move when enticing a customer to buy a dance, and how they perform the dance itself."


    Women on the pill averaged $37 (and had no performance peak) versus $53 for women off-pill. The contraceptive produces hormonal cues indicating early pregnancy, not an enticing target for a would-be suitor. Birth control could lead to many thousands of dollars lost every year.
    The researchers were surprised that almost no one in the business had noticed the pattern before. But if you're a woman in any service-industry job looking to maximize your tips, Miller suggests scheduling more shifts for the phase right before ovulation: "It might help to know about this so that you can exploit these effects."

    interesting spin on a topic that has been posted here 8739357 times.

    Although, I have to say, I'm on the pill and I would be SO PISSED if I EVAR came home with less than $50 per hour. Makes you wonder where they did their study.

    Where do you get these pheromones? Do you think they work?
