    Default Pleasantly surprised....

    ...that I started at a new-ish club, kinda, and had a positive experience. Well, I worked there before but only for a few shifts. Anyway...usually, when I start at a new club, they sort of assume I'm brand spankin' new to dancing and give me the evil eye, and/or talk shit JUST loud enough so I can hear it.

    This time, the girls seemed to welcome me with open arms, asking me if I had a good night, complimenting my hair and outfits, inviting me to join conversations, etc.

    I was also very surprised at this little crowd of newbs that seemed to want to pick my brain or have me help them on the pole. I said, "no, no, no! there are SO many girls here better on the pole than me." and they raved about how awesome I look on stage.

    .....This sounds conceded, doesn't it? The point is, it was a surprise because I usually don't fit into the stripper crowd very well. I've always felt like an outcast, or like I was different from all of the other girls---just not very stripper-ish. Even though I've been doing it for a couple of years, I just recently started taking it seriously.

    I'm kind of bewildered that I'm getting compliments and acceptance from very experienced dancers. Should I see this as a milestone in my dancing career? Or should I continue to be extremely weary and not trusting because the whole thing seems kinda weird?

    Me personally, I don't think I would consider it a "milestone", since I don't think there is a certain point in a stripper career where a girl walks into a club and is instantly accepted. I think it could be the culture of that particular club, or maybe you just got lucky and ended up with a group of people you click with.
    I would still be cautious and not let my guard down since you don't really know them, and I've seen enough girls be sweet to someone's face just to talk shit as soon as they leave the dressing room to know acting friendly doesn't mean shit.

    Not saying these ladies are like that, I'm just saying I never let my guard down with people at work.

    +1 on the club culture. In a lot of clubs, I find girls tend to keep to themselves (or to their little groups) and can be catty with the talking shit. But I find that there are definitely some clubs where most of the girls are just nice (or at least polite and will make small talk during the quiet times) and it can be an enjoyable place to work. Glad you found one of those clubs! Still keep your guard up, but, enjoy the positive work environment.

    Well, not so much a "milestone" as a positive change or a reflection of improvement because I'm no longer experiencing girls trying to give me pointers or snickering. But eh, could chalk it up to a peaceful work environment too

    I would beware bc oftentimes girls r nice to u only for u to find out eventually they were bad mouthing u as soon as u left the room. Sometimes girls play nice only for them to get all the info they can from u so they can use it against u. Like if something's too good to be true it prolly isnt. I would watch myself around these seemingly nice girls. Be nice and enjoy the nice comfy vibe but keep ur eyes open.

    ^The girls who have given me the most misery were always the ones who were super nice and welcoming in the beginning.

    Not saying this will happen in your case. They could be a genuine group of ladies^^

    AAhh!! doesn't it make such a difference to work with pleasant people? Its so simple yet soo hard too find in our industry. My advice would be to enjoy the good vibes, be polite and gracious when girls give you compliments but still keep them at a comfortable distance as you still don't know them. If you can keep it like that then i think you have found yourself a nice little work place.

    Sometimes, especially in smaller clubs, you just happen to get a really nice group of girls. I'm lucky in that most places I've worked it's like this (but I usually stick to smaller clubs and have never worked in the states). I'm always nice to new girls because I know I make more money in a friendly environment.

    Teaching girls pole tricks is also a pretty solid way to make friends in a new club. Glad to hear you're enjoying where you work, really hope it stays like this for you!
