    Default "So What Do You Do?"

    In social settings, with casual acquaintances, or striking up conversations with strangers, say, at the metro, or on a first date, do you generally tell people you're a stripper?

    I'm so humiliated about being unemployed. I have awful thoughts of pushy people saying "why don't you have a job" and "why don't you just go work at McDonald's?" I feel like that's sooo embarrassing for someone who went to a top university. I feel like it's for high school dropouts and ex cons. I feel like stripping is so much less degrading that working in the fast food industry. You wear high heels, makeup, and bikinis, not french fry hats, name tags, and dorky tennis shoes. Plus it's much more enjoyable. I just feel like most people beg to differ. They don't see stripping as a real job, much less an honorable one. So they expect me to play follow the follower and do what they say.

    So anyway, as a stripper, what do you tell people you do?

    I do not advertise it bc it usually seems to just result in this exact kind of headache. That's not a real job, Taking your clothes off for $$ is soooo easy/degrading/whatever-makes-them-feel-superior; MY body is a temple!, etc. The last time a female got in my shit w/ these statements I looked her in the eye & said go do my job for three months, just three months, then you can talk my ear off all abt how easy it is. That shut her right up.

    But again, I am more inclined to keep it to myself. If anything I simply say Sales, or Public Relations, in a tone just hard enough to suggest they back off the subject, then I get the convo redirected back to them.

    If I don't feel comfortable saying I'm a dancer, I just say I work at a bar

    if it just a casual acquaintance or in a professional setting, i'll say that i'm a waitress or an LNA/phlebotomist ( or another field that i have prior experience in. don't go all out saying you're a lawyer or rocket scientist when you have 0 experience or knowledge in the field, that could get embarrassing real fast!).
    obviously real friends and serious relationship boyfriends get the truth.

    "Making more money in a night than you do in a week!" I tell people I'm a stripper unless it's my boyfriend's sisters (who are 20 years older than him and uber bitches)
