    Default why u got into stripping

    im new and i got into dancing mainly because i absolutely began to hate all men. i had been used and lied to, cheated on etc,so i decided to fuck them over for a change. It felt great to take their hard earned money and leave them with nothing but frustration and a woody. I was just wondering of this was also the case for some of you. and also do any of you have real boyfriends and if you do how does that work out? Lately im afraid though ive been softening up and finding it hard to take some of their money,how do i get past that? and let me also add that im not gay or bi just havent wanted to chance a heartbreak again.

    so you're dancing because you hate men?

    well, i suppose that's one reason.

    it does feel good sometimes to take money from these pervs and then spend it on a romantic evening with my REAL man, someone who treats me with respect...

    i'm just doing it to pay for college.

    I'm getting back into the game because although I've been hurt, I love men and the idea of getting paid to be sexy listen to bangin music, and have bubbly and interesting conversations is way more fun than I'll have at another job.

    I got into it b/c I moved out of my parents house and wanted to make money so I didn't have to move back home.
    Someone suggested stripping and I checked it out, thought "I could do this" and went to audition.
    The weird thing is I never thought it was bad or anything. I didn't see a big deal with it. When people started talking shit about me stripping (I was in high school and in my small home town. eek.) I never understood why. I never saw it as a big deal. Looking back I realize, WoW I was a CRAZY girl......
    Now, I LOVE my job and am so happy my journey brought me here..
    I love dancing, interacting with people, being on stage, the MONEY, the FREEDOM, and paying for school, and I do it 100% sober.

    I wanted to dance as a crazy outlet while I waited for my visa to be processed for a "proper" job that I thought might be a bit tame for me. In hindsight it was a time in my life when I had very little money too. I tried other sex work but didn't get on with it.

    I always toyed with the idea of stripping because it looked like it would be a turn on and a good earner. So then I LOVED stripping so much I missed it during my year's contract in the normal world and had to come back.

    PS nitro7 I think it's hilarious you already hate men before you started! I am starting to just think they're pathetic and needy.

    i'm starting, because deep down at the core i think it's not all about money for me
    i think i'm just a needy girl who feels good about herself when men pay attention to her
    and since my fiancee is locked up until december...i'm lonely and i also broke his laptop and i want to buy a new laptop & a new car& start going to school& also have money saved for when he gets back so that we have a cushion underneath us until he gets out of rehab and a job.
    he says he's going to take care of me. and i believe him, he is a genius..no lie. it's kinda annoying sometimes.but until he gets back i'll be dancing my nights away.or days...whicheverlol

    I got into dancing because I didn't really feel I had any other options to get out of poverty. I look back now and realize I could have stayed in school and gotten scholarships and grants and stuff, but at the time, I didn't realize I could, and I was in such a bad mental state and all messed up on drugs and alcohol that I didn't really understand the concept of "working hard now to have payoffs later". So I started dancing so I could get some money for myself to support my lifestyle, but then ended up realizing that my "lifestyle" was unsustainable and ridiculous. After this, I kept dancing to get my shit together, to move out of the shitty neighborhood I grew up in, and to prove to myself that I could "make it" in this world just as much as the rest of the world who didn't grow up in the crap that I did. That's kinda still why I'm doing it, although I don't really feel I have as much to "prove" as I did back then. I just like being able to be comfortable finiancially and to not have to worry all the time about where the money for my next meal is coming from. I also like being able to send my family money to help out with shit, and to travel. That, and I just genuinely enjoy being on a stage and performing and I love the flexibility and the options that my job offers me, let alone the job security and the availability of jobs no matter where I go. I also like that the harder you work, the more money you make, vs. a fixed income job that you can't work harder and make more money at.

    I've never really looked at my job as an outlet to "hate on men". In fact, that's one of my LEAST FAVORITE things about the job. I hate seeing the crappiest side of the male sex all the time and I hate how my job MAKES me hate men. I mean, I'm not totally into them, and I never really have been, but the fact is, the more I dance the more I lose interest in them all together and it sucks, because I think that there are plenty of decent men out there that I don't get to meet BECAUSE I get so tired of men in general. In terms of "going soft" and not wanting to "fuck them over and take their money", I guess I don't have this problem because there is no going soft if you're soft already. I try to treat customers with respect UNTIL they prove to me they don't deserve it. In terms of getting money, well I'm at WORK, and I'm performing a service for an exchange of money, so I don't see why I wouldn't want to take someone's money, because I've worked hard and I deserve it.

    I've started dancing cuz I want to be able to have time to fight for social and environmental justice, and busting my ass at a soul-crushing 9-5 aint gonna leave a lot of time for that. Also because I want to one day be able to not worry about making rent on time. Cuz I want to be able to take a few days off if my family comes to visit me in NC. I want to be able to pay off the fines our non-profit gets slapped with by code enforcement every now and then (we have neighbors who hate us and call the cops on us constantly because our grass is sometimes 1/8 " too high or whatever).

    I want to become graceful and skilled at a physical activity. I want to develop people skills that I can transfer over to other social situations.

    I got sick of burning my arms and cutting my fingers and coming home stinking like marinara sauce every day working as a line cook.

    Plus I've done webcam and other sex work for a couple years so figured this wouldn't be that much scarier.

    Lots of reasons!

    Guys piss me off so much when they ask why I do this... they're always expecting the worst possible reasons. And when I tell them my reasons they claim I'm "lying" or trying to hide some sort of trauma from them. Why ask a question if you think you know the answer to it already??

    I started dancing for the money but I stayed dancing (and am going back) because I love the attention, the ridiculously awesome flexible schedule, and dancing just keeps me at the top of my game socially and physically... basically when I'm dancing I'm always groomed to the max, working out a lot and my social skills are always the best. So there are a lot of reasons.

    I don't hate men at all. I think that we tend to see some of the worst of the male breed come into the clubs. A lot of men who have issues and feel the need to act like an ass in the club. I still truly believe that there are a lot of decent guys out there... they are just harder to find. They certainly won't be hanging out in the strip club every day though. Separating one man's behavior in the club from the "real world" of how a lot of men behave is essential for our sanity.

    it had always been an option for me. but after i had children, i just stopped feeling sexy, had no sex drive, and felt like there had to be more to me than just being a mom. ive always loved jobs that i got paid to be social (bartending, serving) so this just seemed like a win win. i dont have to leave until after the kids are almost ready for bed, and i get to spend work dancing around to music i love, and being social. plus, its a huge boost to my self confidene having to look at the top of my game all the time.

    Thank you KylieS2: I have just dealt with the most obnoxious guy tonight and this gave it some perspective! I may bookmark your words of wisdom to make me feel better in the future.

    This thread is really interesting, by the way. I didn't think there could be so many different reasons for getting into this crazy job.

    I used to work in the brothels in Nevada. It was worthwhile when business was good, but then it really slowed down. Barely any guys coming in and when they did, they expected to get something for $100. Yeah right asshole, after the house takes their cut and I pay my rent here that leaves me with $10 for fucking you, I don't think so. My average pay dropped to about $1000 a week which came from one or two customers and the rest of the week I just sat around missing the hell out of my family, not worth it.

    I started stripping so I could be home. It's more work but I get to go home to my family every day instead of being locked up in some shitty whorehouse. At this point, I think the money's better in stripping anyways, so why do more for less? I can make plenty just dancing.

    Cool question.

    Honestly? It was something I'd wanted to do since I was about 8 years old. (Flash Dance, anyone?) I had always thought about it. I also grew up dancing (ballet and all that jazz) and doing competitions...I even dabbled in a little acting. I love to perform. Being someone else's b!tc# in a retail job and getting paid minimum wage was really getting to me and I started doing reserach online. When I saw an article in a local paper about the club I'd heard the best things about, I called right then and there. The rest is history!



    ETA: like the above poster I also did it to prove that I could. I was called shy and a goody-two (too?) shoes my whole life.

    I started because I wanted the money flat out. Plus having the feeling that guys wanna spend money to be near me. Oh and the fact I get to listen to rockin music, dance, chat, and look at my hottest. For me its a win win, b/c it pays more then a minimum wage job lol

    I started because I have a background in dance, and because I thought it would help me pay for college. In reality the dance background made no difference.

    I started stripping because my two roommates moved out on me leaving me with the house payment (we were all renting a house together) I remember I was trying to figure out how I was going to pay the rent (which was $750 a month) then I it just popped in my head "strip" and so I did.

    I needed money. My parents aren't helping with school and I don't live at home and I needed to pay the bills. Plus I wanted things like a new car with a warranty so I wouldn't constantly be paying for repairs and my husband and I wanted to move to a nicer part of town. It just made sense.

    You're welcome Minnie Don't let these guys get to you... the ones who treat you like shit are usually the most miserable, lonely and insecure. They NEED to be obnoxious and act like assholes so they can feel a tiny bit better about themselves. Or they are just straight up assholes both in and out of the club. Either way they suck and aren't worth a minute of our time or attention.
