I only have one really good girlfriend that I hang out with often and who will talk about my stripping without awkwardness. While I appreciate how open she allows me to be, I’m really put off by how much she brings up my job to strangers. I’m in no way secretive about stripping (except when it comes to my family) - almost anyone who asks will get an honest answer. But it’s just uncomfortable when she brings it up in conversations where it doesn’t need to be announced, and keeps the subject going when I’m ready to be done with it. It doesn’t seem to matter where we are, who we’re talking to, or what we’re talking about - she always seems to find a way to start talking about me stripping. She also likes to bring up the fact, “where do you think she met her boyfriend?”
I’d feel odd telling her to keep it on the DL since I’m usually so open about it. But this goes beyond being open and crosses the line into obnoxiously announcing it wherever we go. I don’t care if people know I’m a stripper, or if we make joking references to it in the course of conversation in front of others and let them make their own conclusions, but I don’t need to get into a conversation about it everywhere I go, on my first meeting with some new bartender or bar-buddy. It tends to ruin the rest of my night because the second people know I'm a dancer, they have endless questions about it and get all fascinated and want to keep talking talking talking about it... when I just want to finish my fucking beer and not be bothered... I honestly don’t know what she gets out of always making this a big deal, but it makes me uncomfortable when she’s the one bringing it up - and always bringing it up...![]()
