    Duh " stripping is easy money"

    Does anybody else get annoyed when non-strippers say "oh yeah, stripping is easy money". It's so frustrating to me! I mean yes, it is easy in some aspects, but it also takes a lot of skill that people don't realize. You have to get your hustle down, you have to work hard for a nice body, and you have to have dancing skills. We do actually work hard for our money..it is just in a different way than working a vanilla job (which I know because I also work a day job). Am I the only one this annoys?! Sorry, just needed to rant! Do people ever say this to you? how do you react?

    Nobody in my life knows my dark secret, but I imagine they would be scathing like this.

    For me, stripping is fucking challenging. Autism runs in my family, and I probably have Asperger's. Nothing from "normal" tone changes to facial expressions comes easily to me. I sometimes forget to listen to people because I'm so focused on trying to subtly change my facial expression enough so that I don't look like I want to assault anyone.

    I think stripping gets a bad rap for being easy money because it's one of the only jobs where you can show up when you feel like it, get majorly wasted, and be a hot mess before passing out... While still making enough money to squeak by and not getting instantly fired. Plus, you don't need an education, previous training, or even a resume to be hired as a stripper, and it has better money potential than many jobs which do require those things.

    It just seems like easy money to people who haven't done it. No one seems to remember that we have to pay to strip! How the fuck is that easy money?!

    Exactly! They also don't realize the money and effort that goes into shoes, outfits, makeup, etc. It is a job where you have to spend money to make money. I love my job and I'm not complaining about it. I'm just saying, give us a little credit! It can be hard work. It's not something just anybody can do.

    Dancing is easy money. Literally all I do at work is shake my tits around, smile, and ask people to do VIP. If that's challenging then holy shit.

    Lol. I know I work hard for my money. I am aware there is much more to my job than smiling and shaking my tits. If there wasn't, there wouldn't be an entire forum on it. But I guess it depends on the person and the location (:

    I'm not even a stripper yet and I've already killed the idea that this will be easy money. I must admit I'm guilty of believing this. the prep alone is a challenge. practicing my hustle. learning to move sexy and be comfortable and nonchalant halfnaked with a room full of strangers. hiding it from my family. working out. this is not all that easy.

    I completely agree...What no one realizes is that some of us cant roll out of bed and instantly hot...People like me have to work out, drink lots of water, and put effort into nice costumes and shoes..All of that takes time, energy, and money..Like u said we have to invest money in ourselves to keep ourselves somewhat up..So many people are extremely ignorant to this fact..It makes it extremely frustrating to deal with regular people due to their ignorance over so many things concerning our job. And when I see so many guys coming n and looking for free I put less effort in my dancing....WIth me u r going to get more effort with more money....

    I know that I totally have nights where all I do is smile and shake my tits, but those are the nights I take home $500 less than I usually do. I work really hard because I like to make as much money as possible in as short an amount of time as possible, which is kind of the whole entire reason why I started stripping, lol.

    Why do you assume that I'm a troll? Of course my situation does not work in favor of all clubs or locations but from my experience, dancing is a numbers game. If you ask enough customers for VIP (given the club is crowded) you're bound to find someone to spend some time with you.

    It's hard in the regards that the job is physically and emotionally demanding. It's definitely void of intelligent thought.

    you lack such basic understanding of the industry, that i truly feel sorry for you if, in fact, you are not a troll. very sad

    The sad thing is it shows that this girl has been a member of SW since 2011. That was probably my mind set during my first 3 days of stripping.

    I am plenty intelligent. I have had plenty of jobs and went to school along with many other strippers. And yes I still find many aspects of dancing challenging.

    If my industry experience differs from yours, why do you automatically assume that I have no understanding? To say that all dancers experience the same aspects of dancing would be ridiculous and only shows that you are the one that lacks an understanding.

    I've danced since 2005. I've invested a lot of time and money into my look so that I make the most money for the least amount of effort. I also work at a very high volume club with numerous big spenders. Of course my experience may be different if I was slightly overweight working at some dive in a redneck town.

    I'm not arguing whether or not you are intelligent. I'm saying the basis of this job is not an intellectual challenge.

    full of yourself much? that's great that you are just so incredibly beautiful and you have such a great club that you don't have to use a single brain cell..but i can tell you for most of us it DOES require a lot of work, smarts, and hustling. and at some point my dear, you will probably have to break down and actually put some mental effort into your work. consider yourself lucky if you don't have to, but don't make assumptions about what most of us put into this job. just had to add that, really don't feel like getting into an internet squabble with an obvious troll, good luck

    It may not require a degree of any kind but you need hussle - witch to me is a form of intellect. You need to be smart enuf to know whats working what doesnt work etc then act on that. If your hussle is just looking as fab as you can be by spending a shit ton of money and ur lucky enuf to work in a town with a lot of dudes with a lot of money thats great for you. But for most its not that easy. I dont wanna turn this thread into a camming vs stripper thread but camming does require more hussle then stripping in a way if it were that easy to turn on ur cam and just sit and be cute and pretty then EVERYBODY would be doing this job and its harder to rope clients in because its easy for them to leave all it takes is a mouse click if they dont like what they see in the first 5 seconds- then hes gone but ur actaually there face to face them but the point still is that it may not be in ur case but if thats all it took to just walk around (or sit or dance standing etc) and watch that paper fly in ur pocket then camming and stripping would not be as lucrative as it is because the money would be spread too thin. I commend strippers for doing what they do i cam because i cant deal with the bullshit face to face anymore form escorting honestly i am jaded and my bullshit tollerance is close to nill from guys and all the unwanted touching and this and that... And even tho its easier for them to leave its just as easy for us to get rid of them with a ban button. but thats not my point.

    I guess basically what im trying to say is hussle is another form of intelligence.

    You may be very lucky. Your club/clientele sound great. But I have to say, Hustle Hut on this site wouldn't be as popular as it is if pretty serious sales skills weren't necessary to do consistently well in clubs. Once in a while, I'll have a randomly amazing night. That being said it requires a good deal of intellect to feel out customers and make the maximum amount of money possible from each unique individual.

    So many clubs are filled to the brim with beautiful women. Competition is intense. The mental gymnastics required to do well in that environment are equally challenging.
