    Lightbulb What made you become a stripper?

    So for the longest time I said to myself I’d love to be a stripper and about 6 months ago I finally done it and really enjoy it what where your reasons for starting to dance? Was it the money or something else?

    I started partly for the money (because why not get paid to get in your panties) but also because I was a trained dancer who missed dancing. I am too short and honestly not talented enough to be a professional ballerina, so I decided to give pole and stripping a try. I was also hoping it would help me find confidence. The idea of combining dance with sexuality sounded cool so I tried it. So glad I did!

    Why would anyone do any job for anything besides money? I think the only other reason girls do it (without being forced) is bc they desperately crave attention and validation but that type doesn’t last long

    Money mostly but also the freedom/flexible schedule.

    There are basically no other jobs where I can decide to not work for weeks, show up at a club on a random Tuesday and work with nobody batting an eye.

    Also the opposite, when you want to make an expensive purchase or have a surprise expense you can just work as many shifts as you want/need to until you make the money. Nobody telling you that you can't work any more hours because they don't want to pay you overtime, etc.

    I was working 7 days a week at a gas station /Dunkin' Donuts and one of my co workers said she used to be a stripper and during the summer made 500 a night ..I was netting 400 a week working everyday. I was like fuck this, I'm 23 and hot enough, so I took the plunge and been working ever since.
    So yeah , money. And working 2-3 days a week at most

    Honestly, money wasn't my first motivation because I had a good paying job at the time. (My first and last such job outside stripping.) I started principally because I had all kinds of pole routines in my head that I would see for my favorite songs, and I wanted to figure how to do them. But I have stripper friends and already knew how shitty "pole exercise" types can be about the workers who actually invented this, so rather than pay out for classes I thought I'll join my pals and practice for free in the best possible context. Then I came to enjoy many other aspects of the job even more than the dancing (which I'm still only ok at).

    And yeah, the money is pretty decent.

    It was the philanthropy. Money had absolutely nothing to do with it. This has got to be the most profoundly thoughtful, intelligent and insightful question I've ever seen asked on here.

    When I started stripping I met a few strippers doing it years saying everyone has different reasons for stripping like going through a divorce coming from a broken home and that most strippers have been through a lot emotionally

    Just Like cardi b- to leave my abuser. I met him and at the time I danced. He made me quit, but then cheated on me with a stripper. Guys are so dumb.

    I made way more money in college than all those pseudo minimum wage college type jobs, could have fun and feel sexy most nights. Dancing built my self confidence and made me much more outgoing. Plus I was always fascinated by strippers on TV/movies I guess and maybe that played a role too.

    I've always been painfully shy, and also an introvert. Even now, after dancing a while, loud and crowded places sometimes still make me nervous. Dancing seemed so risque for someone as shy as I. I wanted to try it because it was so different than who I was in ordinary life before my work in this industry, and even now, outside of it. Getting butt-naked in front of a large group of strangers is a sure way to become less shy.

    I have an academic background but I graduated right after the economic crash, so life's been hard before dancing, as I've only been able to secure minimum wage jobs that I did not find fulfilling or challenging and I do not have family to help me when I may need it; if anything, they've been known to steal from me time and again, when given the chance. Dancing has been very good for me financially, and it's challenging in about every way to keep life interesting. And to be honest, I'm addicted to having the money, as opposed to being relegated to minimum wage jobs, for which I am overqualified anyways. The freedom and the responsibility is also a perk.

    I also like making people happy, which, at the core, is what this industry is about.

    I was in school working 2 jobs and still had massive debt (mainly credit cards) that I could not get out from under from. I went to see a financial planner and he asked me if it was possible to pick up any more shifts at the jobs I had (one was a restaurant and one was a night club where I was cocktailing)/. My best friend and roommate suggested I try dancing since I had gotten my boobs done a few months prior... after about 2 weeks I quit both other jobs and never looked back.

    I agree with this completely. You shouldn't do this job just to raise to your self-esteem. However, I will admit I do like the feeling dancing gives me that I took the bull by the horns and took control of my life, and did not let others judge me for my decisions. Obviously there are other ways to get that feeling besides dancing, but this has been my experience. Other than money, I like having the flexibility. I work when I want, I don't have to take crap from anybody, and I can stand up for myself unlike other jobs. If I need to take a couple days off for self-care, I can do so unlike other jobs.

    TLDR:

    Make decent money with flexibility and time if I need to take care of myself.

    A shitty series of events: being broke as a result of losing my corporate job, watching the guy I loved marry another woman, and totaling my car. Turns out, they were all blessings in disguise.

    I had always thought about it. Friends always joked around and said I should because I have big boobs and a big booty. I started going as a customer and enjoyed the atmosphere. The girls seem to be having fun and I talked to a couple and they said I should come try it.

    Fast forward to trying a few months ago and I’m still doing it and love it! Love having a job I can handle. Doesn’t change all the time and have to learn new ways of doing it.

    I love the attention too and knowing guys want me is a big boost of steem.


    I’m a night person too so it’s nice to have a job where you can work nights. I’m lucky too because Ive become friends with a few girls I work the same shift with and we get along great. We must have hung out for an hour after the club closed just BS in the locker room. Felt like I was a teenager again just hanging out all night.

    I started stripping to support myself while I established myself, career-wise--working for very low pay and doing an unpaid internship. Now I am successfully self-employed in my field.

    I recently started moonlighting, dancing once a week. I missed the club atmosphere, the physical nature of the work, and the money. Plus, I know I won't be able to do this forever. I don't want to look back and regret not dancing when I had the chance.

    I wanted to try it because it looked so glamorous and empowering to 17 year old me. My first night was a month after I turned 18 and I did really well and already establishedd a regular and have been doing it since. I like performing and money.
