So let's welcome newbies instead of scaring them off..





It's best to ask the house mom or manager questions in the club(those are the only ppl you can def trust), instead of the other girls. Until you've been there a while, you'll get it.

PrettyInMyVeins, read everything you can on this site.... learn the ropes here and put those lessons into practice in your club.
When I started at a new club, I had been dancing 4-or-5 years. But since I was new in this particular club/microcosm I kept quiet. Focussed on making money and working. Stayed out of drama. And behaved professionally.
After a month and a half, I felt a lot more comfortable. Dancers acknowledged me, chatted with me, and partnered up with me. Through observation I made mental notes of whom to interact with and whom to avoid. There is a learning curve... big time. Being a member of this site gives you a tremendous advantage so use the info on here to get you through this initial phase.
Stripping is not a sorority. It's not about making friends. It's about being fiercely independent and making money. Keep that in mind.
I try to help out IF I like you in the club. You are my competition, but some girls seem to stand out more than others. If I offer help and she actually accepts it then I will continue to help out. Don't get stripper head a month into dancing, trust me it takes a while to actually know all the ins and outs.
As for lotion, I will explain once why it is bad and THEN I GET ANGRY. Do it at home. I am an entertainer and I do a lot of pole tricks, when my body is put in jeopardy I get really upset as I am sure anyone would. I guess I just feel it is common sense not to put on or wear lotion while in the club. You can buy non-greasy lotion if you really have dry skin. But please, don't screw over the girls after you with lotion. The lotion gets all over the stage not just the pole. Wherever your body touches, the lotion is left behind.
Please don't lick me, it tickles..



Lucky for me when I first started (dive club) girls were super nice to me and helped me out. It wasn't till I started hitting the upscale club were I encountered bitchy strippers and was on my own. It was cool though because I wasn't there to make friends I was only there to make $$$$ You should do what I did, forget about the girls and make that money. If you start getting lots of dances, only worry about yourself and after you get out that newbie stage the girls will build more respect for you. In the meantime stop giving a fuck about the other girls and you'll do fine.
Make money, not friends.
I mean, I don't have a problem with learning things about the bizz & "stripper do's & donts" ( plus the site is VERY helpful) it's just that u don't have to be rude to get you point across. last time I checked being disrespectful isn't quite professional. just saying.





^ Doesn't mean you should expect that in the club. No one is gonna hold your hand regardless of what you may wish it was like. Especially if you're in a big city. You're a new girl. You know how many of you we see right before you disappear? No one is gonna take you under their wing, and frankly anyone who offers to I'd be leary of.
Read all you can here. Ask what you need to. Then go to work, keep your head down, your mouth shut, make your money and go home. As much as they're not there to help and be friends with you're not there to be friends with them.

What you have to remember is that for the most part, Other strippers don't care about you, if you make money, if you're happy, it is better if you wernt there potentially taking money which they could be having. Like i said, veteran strippers have seen hundreds of new girls come and go, and its really not in their interest to help you. Most clubs have helpful girls, you just have to keep your head down, smile, and not be seen to have an attitude. Quietly learn off girls who make money. I agree its much nicer to be nice, but generally speaking, you have to shut up and put up till the other see you're not going anywhere and you keep turning up. I found this site before i started stripping and it was so helpful, but work is work. From the outside it can seem fun, glitzy and glamorous, but its not, im there to earn a living and yes, it is competitive and cut throat. I have no problem if a new girl asks me a question, ill always answer it, but im too busy trying to get my own cash to hold a new girls hand every step of the way. Like i said before, we all had to learn through trial and error, but if in doubt, ask your house mum, she is the one employed to sort stuff out, if you dont have a house mum, ask management, you will find some girls are nicer than others, you just have to work out who.

Yeah I agree that the title could've been different but she was probably also venting because she doesn't quite understand the industry and how harsh it can be. So she comes to SW for support and she is greeted with hostility thus proving her point about mean ass strippers. Like I said before, she's not at your club and there's no reason for all the rude posts. You didn't even offer any advice whatsoever, you posted an offensive pic and post to go along with it. Completely unneccessary. And yes, here at SW we do hold your hand. That's what's so fucking great about this place because it gives us an advantage over everyone else. Everyone was new here once and didn't understand right away how this site worked and where all the threads were or how the search function worked...
i apoligize for the title girls, i didnt mean to offend anyone at all. that was just how i was feeling at the time with this one paricular mean girl that clearly had additude with me. the title wasnt towards anyone on here. ive been basically "studying" this site & it has become SO helpful omfg. its like the rules are becoming more clear & the girls on here are so supportive + understanding/patientthank you so much !





^Glad you're warming up to us!
Sorry if I came off as unnecessarily harsh. I *do* try to be as helpful as I can on here while still being honest and expecting new members (and dancers) to take the reins themselves; so when I feel that I might be being called "mean" or "bitchy" I take it personally. Tone is hard to convey over the internet and I obviously didn't read the OP carefully enough. Now I see that you weren't taking out your frustrations on us, more on the girls you work with in the club.
Good luck with your future dancing career and let us all know if you need specific help. Thanks for coming back and clarifying and not letting us scare you off! <3

Honestly Vets are not paid stripper/pole instructors. This industry (sex industry) is where you are ALONE and must learn for yourself. It took me months to really learn how to hu$tle, choose the right outfits, and deal with the crazy atmosphere. If you are a newbie I would suggest going to a club as a customer and tipping an experienced dancer for advice or doing your own research. When you are working as a new girl, you are competition. I don't hate new girls, the only time the girls at my club have a problem with the new girls is when they have stank attitudes, create drama, and break rules. You have to have confidence and hustle hard. I mean sometime on a weekend at my club we may have 10 girls working (a lot for my area since it's not a major city) and it is still possible to walk away with hundreds regardless.
I would have a problem with girls putting on lotion or baby oil that makes the pole and floor extra slippery. That is dangerous and can cause injury and screw up the other dancer's money.
There is no manual for this job. What works for one dancer will not work for the next.




Plus, just as a side note, i pretty much assume that all girls who are new to my club have danced before unless they specifically tell me they have not. Ive seen girls become uber insulted when someone has given a supposedly new girl tips, only to find they have danced before and are just not very good at making money etc. And i personally dont make a beeline for girls i dont know as its none of my buisness, other than a "hiya" in the dressing room at the beginning of a night. I wouldnt ever expect any help from anyone.
