    Default Stripping in the city you live in

    So I really really love this club that's in the city I live in and I want to start dancing there. I know I would end up seeing someone I know but I honestly don't think I would care. If any of you have stripped in the same city you live in or have seen someone you knew while dancing can you please tell me about your experience and how it affected you? I know everyone is different but I'd just like to hear from you ladies so I can get an idea of how it may be for me.

    I dance near my hometown. I've seen about 4 people I knew.

    #1 couldn't ascertain that it was for sure me, though he did crane his head and stare a lot, and I kept my distance.
    #2 has not recognized me, despite that I taught his dance class several times... he tips me every time he comes in, too.
    #3 stared, walked up to my stage and said "Did you used to work for so-and-so's ABC Dance?" I raised an eyebrow, and said "noooooo..." like he was the idiot. He blushed, apologized profusely, but then stared at me all night anyway
    #4 was a high school friend, along with some guy I had met once. I walked right up and said hi. HE was uncomfortable and barely looked me in the eye, blamed his friend for wanting to come in. He was sitting next to a satellite stage and by my customer, so he ended up buying dances from my friend seemingly so he didn't have to look at me while I was there. They left promptly afterward.

    It's a personal thing how you handle it. I only hide it on job applications and when I don't feel like answering questions. Otherwise I have very little shame, am ballsy as fuck, and am a master at twisting things around on people. If anybody ever tried to 'out' me, I'd be like "Uh YOU were in the club buying dances... you're equally at fault for participating in the industry." The club is MY territory and THEY have to explain to ME what they're doing, is how I see it.

    You have to know that you are doing NOTHING wrong, this is a legit job and you can't buy into the slut-shaming thing. "Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent" is applicable here. Anybody who would give you shit is either stuck in the 1950s or just a jealous, miserable person.

    OMG, I LOVE this^!
    &, I just wanna add, once I danced a state away, literally the 1st person in the door was an old flame, so you may go far away, & see someone you know right off the bat.

    I'm from a small town about three hours away from Chicago. And I was born and raised in the same town my whole life.. Turned 18 and decided to strip bc I was low on cash, well everyone knew so of course they're going to come see me. It really made me uncomfortable at first, but then I got used to it.. I'm almost three years in now and it's really starting to get to me again. People come in just to see me and point and stare. I wouldn't recommend dancing in your home town. You're gona run into people you know, and they're gona see you naked.. If you're comfortable with that then go ahead, if you're not then I would suggest somewhere out of town but not too far. Good luck Hope everything works out

    I honestly don't give a fuck if broke ass college kids i knew in high school come in and stare and then leave and talk shit. They can have fun working min wage jobs and paying off their college loans for the rest of their lives. Plus us strippers are hot as fuck AND we have money. I'm tired of driving an hour and a half away to dance I'm going to dance in my city lol fuck it

    I work in a club 15 minutes from my university though I never worry about seeing people I know because most of my friends aren't 21 so they can't get in. Anyone from my school who is old enough to get in probably wouldn't know or recognize me. Also the majority of my family is across the country. The few relatives I have here are on the other side of town and aren't the strip club types anyway. I'm just very lucky in my situation.

    I worked in a pretty popular club that was REALLY CLOSE to my alma mater after I graduated. I didn't see many students except for on the weekends, but I did run into one of my old professors who was like "SO I HEARD YOU'RE WORKING AT ______ I USED TO GO THERE W MY HUSBAND ALL THE TIME." It was only a little bit awkward. Otherwise, I did get recognized by another dancer who worked in the same club I was working at in MA which was cool! We didn't really know each other until then but it was a chance to catch up and gossip about the old club. As for my friends, it was a classmate who recommended the place to me in the first place so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    As an international student it was really just me eking out a living by myself so if you were my close friend, you were p much my family and you knew what I was up to.

    How big is your city? I didn't like dancing in my hometown because I don't want to see people I grew up with or run into any awkward situations.

    I live in a big city full of tourists now so I wouldn't mind dancing here.

    It was a decent sized college town, so not a big city at all!

    I totally understand not wanting to run into childhood friends/acquaintances/etc. Funnily enough I worried more about dancing in NYC than anywhere else because EVERYONE I knew moved to the city after graduation haha. When I was at New York Dolls I actually gave my friend's boss a few lapdances. It wasn't until a couple months later when my friend and I were talking about some of his work (he's a matte painter for movies, commercials, etc) and it clicked because I remembered his boss talking about the same project.. small world!!

    EDIT: crap I j realized that KaraLynn was replying to OP, not me. DERP SORRY MY BAD
