    Default "Don't strip unless you're real desperate"

    I'm sure we've all heard people say this. I think it's a load of crap, and it's probably why strippers have such a bad stigma attached. People see these girls who do it as a last resort because they think they have no other options, and you can just tell they aren't enjoying it.

    I plan on auditioning after I finish moving, and not because I have to but because I want to. I have always been a dancer at heart, I love to perform, and I'd get paid to feel sexy. Dancing is the only marketable skill I have outside of food service and I enjoy doing it, so why not? Of course telling people this gets a "yeah sure admit it you're a slut" or some equally ignorant response.

    It doesn't have to be trashy. Just like I don't think posing nude for art classes is beautiful and not trashy in the least, I think exotic dancing is beautiful and a lot of dancers are very talented people.

    Do not strip as a "last resort" because you will not enjoy what you are doing. You will feel terrible about yourself and sink into a spiraling depression that's extremely hard to climb out of. Do it because you WANT to not because you HAVE to- that's what fast food joints are for

    What are your thoughts on this?

    I agree that if you hate it, you likely won't last long or do well. But I don't think there's anything wrong with doing it primarily out of necessity as opposed to primarily out of love of the job.

    I guess what I mean is, if you have reservations about it, it doesn't matter if you do it out of desperation because you're not helping yourself if you do. Sure you'll get money, but money doesn't buy happiness when you sink into a depression because you hate yourself for what you are doing. No amount of money is worth that kind of emotional torment.

    ^This. I don't like my job MOST of the time, but then again, there are plenty of jobs I've not liked. It is what it is.

    ^Also, not liking your job doesn't mean you hate yourself for doing it. Those are two separate things. I might not enjoy stripping, but I certainly don't look down on myself for doing it.

    Honesty, my thoughts are that you might be in for a rude awakening once you start stripping. You aren't getting "paid to feel sexy." Nobody cares how you feel. You are getting paid to grind cock. Pole dancing is beautiful; floor work is beautiful; naked women are beautiful, but ultimately, your performance on stage is not what makes your money.

    I don't mean to sound rude or harsh, but for me and most strippers I know, this is the reality of the job. And frankly, do you really think you're in any place to tell a bunch of seasoned strippers how and why they should do their job, when you haven't ever done it yourself?

    No seriously, every dancer is going to have a different opinion based upon the ratio of positive to negative experiences she has had in the clubs. I have personally had more positive experiences, thus I love what I do and get "antsy" when I haven't been at a club for a while.

    Claiming you don't mean to sound rude doesn't take away the fact that you came off as very rude, even putting words in my post. Was I telling people how to do their jobs? No, not at all.

    What I am saying is that a lot of girls who start stripping wouldn't have done it for any other reason besides they "have to". They lower their standards for it, and then continue to lower their standards for a couple more dollars, like selling (and ultimately doing) drugs and giving "extras". Those who get into it because they want to or never had a problem with it in the first place seem to be less likely to fall into the "trashy" area of the business.

    At least that's how it is in my little corner of the map.

    This is what I'm talking about. Every job has its shitty aspects, but if you can get into something you actually like doing then even the bad parts don't seem that bad after a while. Yes, it can be tough. Every job can be tough. But all that melts away when you really get into it.

    Everyone has their own reasons for getting into stripping. NOT everyone is desperate & that's the only thing left to do....Although I'm sure for some, that is the reality.

    Just depends. I am trying to get back into stripping because I love dancing, I love the attention, obviously cash, can set my own hours, etc..etc...

    I actually just told my best friend about it, & her reaction was "why are you doing that? you & _hubby_ always have enough money." Her thoughts are you ONLY strip if you are homeless & starving & have no other options. She cannot believe I want to do it because I enjoy it. Whatever though.

    I give us all props for what we do, it's not an easy job at all.

    I love the entertainment world! & POOP on those close minded people who just assume we are all DESPERATE w/low standards. They have no dam clue what they are talking about!

    I enjoyed my time as a stripper and though I have hung up my g string. I never regret doing it, my family always refers to that period of my life as my rebellion or life mistakes...but I feel that my only mistake was letting people talk me into doing what they felt as respectable. I quite job as a manager in a clothing bouquet making close to $16 an hour with benefits at the age of 18, to strip not because I had to but because I wanted to. I did it for 2 1/2 years straight and quite cause everyone around me gave me shit. Then I decided I would go back and did it for 6 months but quite again cause I listened to my BF. Now I am a CNA working on getting my nursing degree and I'm miserable. If I woke up tomorrow and was in good enough shape I would go and audition at the 1st club I see. For me it was never about making money or for some deep psycho babble bullshit of parent issues. I'm just most comfortable being naked and dancing and dancing for other people been like that my whole life. My mom use to yell at me for stripping before I even knew what it was. And so for me it not a way to get through life, it is life. But I have met many of girls where it was the opposite.

    So, working at a fast food joint for min wage won't make me depressed? Somehow I doubt that....

    The only time I feel sexy is when Im on stage. That's it. And half the time, no one is even watching or paying. I think your idea of this job is going to change significantly once you actually start. Most days it's a grind (no pun intended) and not a fun one.

    This...

    Seriously, re-post this after you've worked a couple months. Stripping is not like it is in the movies. Guys are rude, don't respect your boundaries, just want to use lap dances to get off. If they think you're ugly, fat, annoying, they won't waste their time to tell you. You can learn all the pole tricks you want, you'll still go up on stage ten times some nights and not get tipped a dollar.

    It takes a STRONG woman to be a good stripper who will last, not one who loves her job.

    You don't even know what the bad parts are yet....

    Your post really kiind of triggers me. Seriously dude, you don't know what you're up against. Girls lower their standards because there are SO many extras going around, being a clean dancer becomes like selling meat to vegetarians. I've had guys walk out and tell me my dances were a waste because I wouldn't give them a hand job, and yell to their friends "don't waste your money on this rip off bitch!"

    Girls don't neccesarily fall into this category because they got into it for the wrong reasons. I don't know what your financial situation is, but I strip because I need to make $ so I can live in an apartment, not a box, and I can eat. I don't strip as a hobby, I strip because I NEED to have a JOB-- so does this mean I fall out of your category? Cause you're making stripping sound like only the women who don't do it for the monetary value are the ones who should be doing it....

    If I became I an extras girl I would not be able to live with myself, but not everyone is like that. Girls will do what they need to do to make money because it is HARD to make money as a clean dancer, and you will have many nights going home with nothing, and eating the cab fare or gas money it took for you to get there.

    But you haven't danced, so you don't know the reality of this. And yet you're telling me once I get into it the reality will melt away? No, dude, it doesn't melt away when I can't EAT for three days because I made $200 that week even though I worked 54 hours. Honestly I find your post rude and judgmental.

    Here the thing you either do it for the money cause u really need it or it's literally something that you enjoy doing, I just emjoyed doing it. I Danced at night while doing some other kind of job during the day and or living in a 2 income household I did it cause I liked the challenge, I did it cause I liked to entertain. After sometime of learning the ropes and learning I was able to set my own rules made it even better. At 1st I would get upset over people walking out or begging for extras, but really after my eyes where opened n I reminded myself this wasn't my only option to pay the bills, I only seen those who I felt where there for entertainment and not sex and I kicked more then a handful of custies out of room cause of there expectation. Then I learned to be up front and tell them up " Look I don't do BJ's hand jobs and I especially don't fuck, but if you want to be entertained, have an good conversation, get drunk, and possibly smacked around then I'm your girl, if not then stop wasting my fucking time." I still made my $$$ I just had a closed clientele, mainly because they where normally older and well to do. but it still wasn't the rotation that the extra girls had.

    It's kind of funny, I expected all of my friends to be opposed to what I do. I have received alot of support and its very encouraging to hear words of positivity instead of words of negativity.

    I do it for the money and the self esteem boost I get. Pair both and I will go to sleep with a smile on my face. I am all about making others feel good when I feel good doing it. I give it my all, every time I go on stage.

    In the end, when you are comfortable and confident in what you do, others will see that.

    I totally disagree with this comment. I've been working for 12 months and never once have I had to "grind cock". I target customers who are going to be long term customers. Not a simple fast cash solution. Someone who wants a sexy, intelligent, empowered woman. Maybe this is not possible where you work, but I've worked in 2 cities in 5 clubs and my customers treat me like a godess and I expect nothing less. I would say 70% of my income comes from regulars. Sure it takes time to build them up and I had many a night leaving with less than $300. But now I can count on at least $500 cash a week just for chatting with guys. You need to make them fall in love.

    But I live in New Orleans, not Australia, and we grind cock here.
    I live in Los Angeles and we grind cock here (and that's the conservative strippers here... most don't need to grind. )

    I can target all the nice awesome long term customers who just want to be entertained all I want, there's about 1 of those every two weeks if I'm lucky.

    Customers come to strip clubs in most USA cities to get off, not to fall in love.

    Even in clubs with lots of cock grinders, there are customers that don't want that type of experience.

    Its the law of attraction, I guess I send out those vibes because even when I work at higher contact clubs, I usually end up with the guy who wants to tell me all his problems.

    ^Those guys don't want to spend money here.

    I find I usually have two types of customers in front of me; guys who want to talk about their problems for hours but don't want to spend a dime, and guys who want to grind but are happy to spend $ on dances. I have to go with the latter.

    I agree. I'm surround by cock grinding. Am I cock grinding? No. I'm looking into their eyes and tracing the lines on their face. Guess who's looking over in envy; the guy getting his cock ground into hamburger.
    Yes, I'm real.

Of course telling people this gets a "yeah sure admit it you're a slut" or some equally ignorant response.

    It doesn't have to be trashy. Just like I don't think posing nude for art classes is beautiful and not trashy in the least, I think exotic dancing is beautiful and a lot of dancers are very talented people.

    Do not strip as a "last resort" because you will not enjoy what you are doing. You will feel terrible about yourself and sink into a spiraling depression that's extremely hard to climb out of. Do it because you WANT to not because you HAVE to- that's what fast food joints are for

    What are your thoughts on this?
    I have to agree wtih the others on this. You have never danced, so you dont know what you are talking about.

    I started stripping because I was flat broke. am I to be condemmed for this? I didnt spiral into depression; actually i like my job a lot because, like BritneyIreland said, I have had mostly positive experiences. However, I am not paid to feel sexy... I am paid to be a good sales person, entertaining company, and to dance sexy. Dancing sexy and feeling sexy dont always come hand in hand... I promise you when you are playing pattycake to swat away the hands of a fat, dirty guy over the age of 50 you will not be feeling sexy. And even if you avoid the really weird ones, there is no way you are going to avoid every grabby asshole that walks through the door.

    Honestly, even more than the 'desperate' girls, i have issue with the girls who show up to do because they think it will be fun. Enjoying your job is fabulous, but girls get this fantasy of stripping in their heads. these are the same girls who you see pratically stripping at night clubs, or the girls who do come into the strip club and try to strip (see the obnoxious female customers post) and talk about how much they want to dance etc etc. Being enthusiastic and positive about your upcoming audition is a good thing, but from your post it sounds like you arent gonna take it seriously. It sounds like you think stripping will be one big sexy party. The girls who think this are just as in danger of spiraling out of control as the girls who do it because they absolutely need to. At least the latter girls had a good reason. Also,t he girls just showing up there to have a good time hurt money of the girls who really do need it or are serious about making it because these girls often talk to customers for long periods of time for free just because they get complements. Since they arent professional they are also more likely to pull bullshit like dating the customers etc. That shit makes it harder for the dancers who wont date customers or give away their time for free.

    Also, you say dancing and food service are your only marketable skills and then say that you hate food service (well fast food at least). This could be percieved as desperation. So dont hate on girls who have no other options.

    And since you have never been a dancer (as in stripper), you do not know if you have always been a dancer at heart.

    So yea, by all means if you start dancing, enjoy your job. But dont tell us we shouldnt have started dancing becasue we had no other options. And dont tell us that our job is fun and we get paid to feel sexy. Dont tell us we will feel terrible about ourselves if we dance because we need money; you have no idea how half of us feel about ourselves.

    I am not apologetic if this came off as rude. You asked what our thoughts on this were, and i answered honestly.
    The best thing i have heard in a strip club to date:
    customer: we should get married right now! we should get a shotgun marriage!
    me: uhh... i think you are misunderstanding what a shotgun marriage means. A shotgun marriage means you knock me up and my daddy shows up at your door with a gun and forces you to marry me and raise the baby. You mean elope.
    customer: hmm... nah actually i will take the shotgun marriage. At least then we would be having sex.

    Most people dance because they want the money. I don't think needing money equals being desperate. I turn down people's money all the time because I'm better off without it and having to go through what they want me to do.
    Even before I danced, I knew I didn't need other people's approval to go ahead and do it. You already know what the general concensus is among your peers. I told like one close friend and that was about it.
