    Default "Why do you do this?"

    Ive had a bunch of customers ask me variations of this
    "why do you strip?"
    "how did you get into stripping?"

    I usually just say "because I wanted to" or "no one got me into it, i decided i wanted to do it for myself" and sometimes that is enough. Sometimes they ask if I enjoy it and I say that I like doing pole tricks and want to be good at it. One guy asked me if I would do it for free and I just turned it around and asked if he would do his job for free.

    Is there a better answer I can give that wont make me sound
    1- money hungry
    2- like someone who is forced into this job for the money and doesnt truly enjoy it
    3- someone who enjoys it so much that the customer will want to take advantage of her love for it and want free or discounted lapdances since she "loves it so much"

    What do you usually say when guys ask you this question? i am afraid if I say "oh i like humping horny men" they will think that they dont need to pay me for stage, my time, or a lapdance.

    When I get asked that, I reply with "I looooooove getting naked and dancing, so getting paid for it is an the best job ever!!! Not many people can do that at their jobs; do you ever do it at yours?" That always gets a laugh, and people always agree that it is an awesome job. Whether or not you agree it is, at least it emphasizes that you do get money for it and you won't get taken advantage of. And you can always add in a "Dancing for money is sooo sexy" if you want

    I usually just say "why not?" with a big teasing grin. But I like CKXXX's answer way better.

    Personally I just say that I love dancing, which is conveniantly the truth.

    However, I always specify that I do other types of dancing such as classical ballet and fire performance so they accept the fact that I enjoy actually dancing as opposed to rolling around pretending to play with myself.

    Before any fires start, yes I know stripping is a form of dancing. Yeah it requires technique and skill on some level or another too. It's just that most customers don't usually see it as a form of dance, so it's easier to separate it out.

    It also helps that nobody minds if I come in with pupils the size of Jupiter. In fact certain people *cough*youknowwhoyouare*cough* have activly ENCOURAGED my behaiviour. It's awesome when you're coworkers use the neon to amuse your e-tarded ass, massage/pet you, and nobody really cares if you sit in a dark corner poking your face while following non-existant objects with your eyes. It's doubly funny when they're in the same boat as you.

    Actually this is a kind of a dumb question to ask a girl that is a stripper and i know a lot of new strippers that get turned off by it. But the answers above are great hehe.

    I must remember this! Freaking hilarious. And the way to a guy's wallet for me is usually paved with laughter.

    I use a combo of all the answers that were given (um except the random male commenter who really didn't have anything pertinent). I say, "I get to be naked, stare at hot women, flirt and drink beer all night. Can you TELL I like my job? -huge smile and cute giggle-

    I tell guys that I strip because I love to dance and I love the excerise and I love to be able to meet new people everyday. If they ask if I enjoy my job, I tell them that I don't believe in having a job that I don't enjoy.

    OMG. That is such an insulting question... like, "what the fuck are you doing in here if it's so awful mr crappy customer?"

    LOL

    Okay, funniest answer "I" ever gave to this question was when I first started. I was going out with somebody who also worked at the club and as I was walking around this guy stopped me and kind of got in my face and was like, "Why would you sell your body like this?" My bf happened to over hear and he goes to the guys "Ummm, for the cash" and grabbed my wrist and we walked away. It was HILARIOUS.

    I tell a short story about how I moved from Arizona and couldn't find a job in Colorado, my roommate jokingly said we needed to start selling drugs or stripping, and we took each other up on it.

    Mostly true, but you could just as easily make something up.

    I strip to pay for speedballs and act out on childhood sexual trauma. In fact, you look a little like the guy who molested me....

    (sad distant look, eye contact and an embaressed smile)

    You look ready for some dances.

    The money rolls in after that.

    FWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA

    Gawd, if I could pull that one off!

    I usually end up with something along the lines of talking about how I'm a student and think it's so much more fun than an office job, and somewhere in there imply that I'm an exhibitionist (which is half true: I have a more or less nudist personality and don't care who sees me naked, though I don't really get off on it per se.)

    I usually just tell them the truth, that i started out waitressing to save for a car, did the amateur contest, won, and then started dancing, and it's a good way to pay the bills and still have time for school. they leave it alone at that since once i tell them I'm in law school they get fascinated by that, lol. it's like "omg, a stripper with a brain?!"

    I do find the question irritating though, simply cause I get it all the time.

    I like to say, "When I cry myself to sleep every night I prefer to do it on a pile of 20s." I say it very dryly with just a hint of levity and they almost always chuckle. The ones who don't I don't care to deal with.

    Lol! That's awesome.

    I think the guys are just asking this to make conversation when they ask this. Maybe just tell them the little story of how you got started. Like, for me my roommate from my freshman year of college wanted to try it so I went with her and it ended up being a lot of fun.

    They would probably love it if you said something like, "I wanted to try it cuz the idea of it turned me on."

    Ha I remember when cameron said that. I use it allll the time.

    If I feel like having more of a conversation I tell the truth that I'm trying to get back to school. They eat it up.

    i've gotten to a point where i (like others have mentioned) just give sarcastic/funny answers to all those questions. i mean, if the customer is spending a lot of money and he's a "talker" and really wants to discuss that sort of thing.. then fine. i'll oblige and give serious answers..

    but with your typical time-waster-asking-too-many-questions guy... nah. i don't have the patience for that anymore.


    question: "so why do you do this?"

    answers:

    -i'm allergic to clothes.

    -*serious face* i have a really bad crack habit *then obvious "just kidding" laugh*


    -i have a health condition that requires me to have at least 4 hours of black light exposure every day.

    -because no one ever bought me a pony when i was little *pout*

    -TITTIES! *claps*

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    I always make this a BIG postive..listing as much as possible that dancing has given me as an outlet to revel in my sexuality, to save like crazy etc.,...some guys that ask these questions are curious and also jealous.....of the rockstar lifestye, freedom and choices that are available..so flaunt it and rub in thier faces!!
