Quick query- So I didn't grow up in the state where I'm living/dancing right now...often when I tell a customer I'm not from here and sometimes the convo goes something like this-
Customer: "Why did you move to [this state]?"
Me: *shrug* "I dunno, just felt like relocating I guess. Got sick of living in the place I grew up for 20 years."
Customer: "Liar!! Tell me the REAL reason!"
Me:
From a customer POV, what incentive would a dancer have to lie about this answer?
Is it typical for an adult to just move to another random city for no spectacular reason or am I an unusual case?
Is this some kinda generation-gap thing I don't know about? (most of my customers are middle-aged or 'boomers)
Are guys expecting/wanting me to say I'm on the run from the law, running from an abusive boyfriend, or something "interesting" like that?
I don't know why it bothers me... I guess I just hate being accused of lying, particularly when I'm unsure what my motivation for that would be, and there is no other answer I give to any other question where guys are as equally INSISTENT that I'm lying as this one. Peculiar.

Basically, it always ends with them calling me crazy because I *gasp* chose Indiana as my school destination with no other reason besides "why not?" Some people just can't wrap their heads around it...
