This is one of the most insulting threads I've read so far. To the OP: it says a lot about your character when you assume the only thing dancers on this site are interested in from men is money. When they are dancing, yes, they want men to buy dances and tip. But this is seriously lame. And 30k as an option...
I didn't even vote.
Let's have another poll: how many people here took the time to vote on the OPs poll?











I'm really surprised to see the votes for the $140,000 bracket.
In today's economy, good luck finding a man in that earning bracket. On top of that, North America is steering far away from a manufacturing based economy and closer to a full "service" based economy.
Plus, it's a known fact that of the new enrollment in colleges and universities, at least 60% of new students are women and 40% are men and the percentages are growing more in favour towards women than men attending in the future.
Of the 40% of men attending university, you have to factor in that some men will fail/drop out, and for the men who stay, it may take them 6 years to finish a degree (That's 2 more years than the standard 4 years a typical degree is set at).
You also have to factor in that some of the men in that 40% who attend school are gay!
This will be detrimental to North America as you'll have a whole bunch of unproductive men standing around with nothing better to do than to cause problems, and a whole bunch of unhappy women because they can't find a man who's education and interests match their own.
I read a news piece a few years ago written about university campus life and how the biggest complaint female students had on campus was the lack of eligable men. On campus pub nights, guys were showing up in t-shirts and sweatpants while the women would spend hours getting all dolled up. On the dance floor, for every 5 women on it, there was 1 guy. Come last call, the guys were successful in picking-up. Most of the girls would go home disappointed.
Unless things change in the near term (which would need to happen now), there will be less civility 10 years from now.
Sounds like I need to go to college pub night because I make 6 figures, don't wear t-shirts & not gay....sounds like good odds to me...lol





Plus you are hot, so you have that going. I know that more women than men attend college but being we still live in a sexist world many men find jobs before women and at higher pay.
Kelly, there is nothing more sexier to me than a powerful woman making money & know what she wants. I work in a industry where there are more successful women than men but most are married so...sucks for me.





....really?
I mean, if youre talking about a 24yo straight out of college or something, okay I can understand that. But for a guy who is in his 30's+, thats not exactly unheard of... Considering I have never dated a guy for his money, my ex makes close to $150k and hes just a musician...and the one before that made around $300-450k. I historically make around $50k and Im barely scraping by...so $100k would be like the bare min threshold for me being able to say "he makes good money"...but a gold digger wouldnt even glance in his direction![]()
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!










That was a huge reason my marriage reached its demise...well, amongst all the other things wrong with itMy husband made more money than me, but cause of all the child support, alimony, and various other things that were taken out of his check, his take home pay was a lot less than mine. He always was bothered by that...especially since because he had horrible spending habits, I had my own separate banking account, and would give him money to make up the difference between our pay, since I believed in things being equal. I never saw it as a big deal that I brought home more, but it really rubbed him the wrong way.
That is why, ever since him, I really insist on it that any guy I date has to have and make at least as much as I do. And I dont make or have all that much, so its not like Im asking for a lot...I just prefer it that he can take care of himself without me. I dont care if he makes 10x as much as me, I jsut dont want to be with a guy who has to depend on me to enjoy my standard of living with me.
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!
This pole misses the point that it doesn't matter how much money your man makes... if he's not giving you money. I mean. Who gives a shit if your man makes 500k a year if he's not giving you the $500+ a day that you're used to making.





Very...very good point!!!!
And even if he is generous with his money...having been there, I would much rather make my own money than get an allowance.
All it takes is him being in a bad mood and cutting you off, or making you do with less, and always having some defense that he provides you with everything you need anyway. Too much power and control to give someone who is supposed to be your partner IMO.
Don't blink. Don't even blink. Blink and you're dead. Don't turn your back. Don't look away. And don't blink!





You just explained one of the reasons I avoid dads like the plague and that is the money issue. I have noticed though in general men who make less than me complain and have issues because whether we like it or not men were raised to be the providers. Of course this is changing but so many men I meet still have issues with women making more. Then of course you have the guys who make much less and don't care if the woman pays for everything while they often expect her to cook and clean as well. I would never accept this, but why some women I will never understand. Anyway, I have dated men who make less and more and yes I want a man who makes more than me for several reasons. Not because I expect him to support me but because then there won't be that issue of him feeling awful for not making more. I have been meeting men who make a good living and they have less issues than my ex, who made much less than me.





I have a friend whose BF offered her a $3,000 a week allowance if she quit. I know for sure it's true, bc he has money up his ass. She declined. The idea of being controlled, plus not getting a ring on her finger didn't sit well with her.





Our dearly departed troll will never understand this but most of the dancers I know would not give it up only to be controlled by a man. I know girls who have turned down sugar daddy offers, marriage proposals and real-world job offers because it meant being in a man's pocket. In my experience, good dancers are, by and large, a very independent thinking group of women and not really in to being beholden to a man.



Dear troll
How much would your man have to make for you to stop working?
What if he never gave you any, or left you withh nothing but 3 kids at 40?
Back when the market was killer I asked my ex-wife if she wanted to quit the club but declined. She would work 1 or 2 times a month for extra spending cash & she liked depositing into her own account, she still brought in around 30-35k. She also liked getting out of the house & missed the girls if you could believe that..lol Looking back now since our divorce it probably was good she kept her job because she never skipped a beat when I left & was making more than me![]()

That is such a good point...I mean no one goes into a marriage thinking it will end, but its good to have security so that one does not feel forced or trapped in a relationship they no longer want to be in, because they dont have the finances to make it on their own.
And even if destined to live happily forever after, the romantic in me would want my own money, so that if I want to do something extra special or sweet for my guy, take him on a trip or get him something he wouldnt buy for himself, I have the means to afford it and its from me, instead of making him pay for it himself and then claim its from me![]()

I've heard this same scenario from so many dancers. One of my favs quit dancing and switched to hostessing/bar tending when she got married but she stayed at her regular club. This meant that when she split with her ex she was able to get right back into the money groove and not miss a beat. I'll never be any woman's sugar daddy. I'd much rather be with someone who has/wants her own money and wants to take care of herself.
