    Default "stripper" on wikipedia

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stripper

    I have been dancing almost 5 years now and yesterday was the first time i read Wikipedia's entry on Strippers. The "social factors" part was interesting...

    It makes me feel like bacteria on a petri dish...!
    Funny to think that someone who is unfamiliar with what my job entails, would type "stripper" in the search bar and find this link on top.

    Did any of you contribute to writing/editing this article? I wonder who did... Jilted custies? Sociology students who dropped by for research projects? Former dancers?

    How many of you studied this page before starting as a dancer?

    Wow they have the " customers are potentially a "mark"? When has a restaurant chain viewed a customer as "mark" or a supermarket for that matter. It's strange because it started out decent in a very onlookers view but then it turned into making men out to be victims or something lol.

    Strippers are focused on making money from customers. How dancers go about maximizing revenue varies, but every customer who walks into a club is potentially a mark. For customers they do not already know, dancers use factors such as clothing, shoes, age, and race to determine who they wish to interact with. Dancers and owners are always in agreement on the objective of making money. Strip clubs are profit-oriented businesses like restaurants and other retail establishments and dancers are their primary enabler to encourage them to spend time in their establishment. The dancers continually interact with the customers in the club by walking around and attempting to solicit drinks and lap dances, usually scanning the floor of a club to find the most lucrative customer to target.
    It's as if Spock wrote this, it's so clinical in it's description of extraneous things like seating and obtuse in it's assignment of motives and evaluation of the emotions of strippers.
    I think all in all the article needs more work. It's redundant and disorganized. It has some biases and cringeworthy moments.
