    Default Career Stripper in 2019

    With all the changes is it still viable to be a career stripper today?

    I've been on a hiatus from dancing. I'm thinking about going back but the memories of all the long, slow nights are putting me off.

    I think so, but you need to work at the right club and have a realistic approach. It does get frustrating sometimes working long hours and having it be slow sometimes, but it just comes with the territory. Because on good nights you can make really good money, and it makes it worth it! Plus there will always be a need for strippers and strip clubs. Not all men prefer the internet for finding women, many like being able to see a girl in person. If you work at a nice club in a good area you can make regulars and earn consistently good money. Just look your best and get your hustle on!

    For me personally, I’d say so. Others talk about the end of the good ol days and the decline, but I wasn’t around for those times anyways.

    But I want to travel and see the country and have a lot of freedom. I can make enough to afford a minimalist lifestyle, a lot of free time, and the ability to save for the future.

    As for you, maybe something like five shifts will help you with your answer?

    Depends on where you live/work, and also how well you are aging....

    Would you be willing to share more info?

    The adult business is one that will always be around for those willing to put the work in, so I think so. I'm kinda lazy at 34 and prefer camming, but definitely think the right girls in the right clubs with the right looks can make it work. Travelling to bigger, better clubs usually helps if you're stuck in a financially shitty area.

    I'm iffy on this issue. I know we can all agreed that the "golden age" and "silver age" of stripping are long gone e.g. just show up, men throwing money around, $50 tip for a single lap dance, air dances, etc.

    The social culture has changed, I keep seeing the evolution of the growing male mindset and there's no changing back.

    But what I mostly concerned about is the economy. A lot of men who are supposed to be the ripe-age of a SC consumer(30-50) working a lot of low-paying jobs, or working for less than those jobs used to pay. As well with outsourcing or eliminating decent jobs. Plus student loan debt which does effect the SC economy. Rising cost-of-living. But the main concern is the coming economic crash. I believe we're going to see drastic changes in the next decade if politicians don't address issues.

    You have to understand that if regular men just make enough to get by, there is less disposable income. Disposable income is essential to our industry. If they are not getting paid well or severely underemployed combining with lay-off and prolonged unemployment, it effects us too. You have to consider that you do make more money than the rest of the population but you're completely at the mercy of the economy, trends, and government.

    Depends where you live and if you don't live in a lucrative area for stripping, if you're able and willing to travel and strip in different clubs.

    I live in Wisconsin and Wisconsin sucks for stripping. It has never been a great place to make stripping money, but nowadays, there are only a handful of clubs here that you can even pay your bills working at. Not a place to get rich-that's for sure. However, I don't have kids and love to travel, so I traveled a ton when I danced. Guys love to see new girls and I usually make better money at places when I'm fresh meat. Just have enough $$ to get yourself home in case you hate the club or it's not good money!

    However, I would hate just relying on stripper money nowadays. It's good to have a side income, whether it's a vanilla job, another adult industry job like camming, phone sex, or nude modeling, or your own business. The sex industry is up and down and a place could be great money one year and shit the next.

    I think it's possible, as long as you're flexible. As stated above, clubs will fluctuate. What was a great spot one year, could suddenly decline for a number of reasons - including new management and policies entirely out of your control! Or the economy could just take a nosedive in a certain area that was booming for awhile. And pretty much every area has a "season" and a "slow season" where you'd be better off moving around and hitting the right spots at the right time. But I think clubs will always be around, and different places will do well at different times. If you're willing to travel, move, and follow the money, and keep on top of your look and hustle so you can always hit the lucrative cities and clubs with big spenders, you'd be fine. Even, depending on your lifestyle and money habits, you could be fine living in a lower-priced area and making it your mission to travel for the stripping money once you figure out where to go and when.

    I think it would take dedication and work, but that's with any career. If you're serious about committing to that, I see no reason why you wouldn't be able to.
    Don't try to win over the haters. You are not the Jerk Whisperer.

    Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

    On purpose? Or you mean already veteran dancers still dancing in 2019. Honestly it’s really frustrating. Even my dancer friends that are ready to retire with bachelors degrees aren’t finding good jobs. I do okay because I have a good cost of living, clean club, and take care of myself. It’s not worth it though. No one would want to live where I live, but also translates into not a lot of competition and not of other entertainment options. I guess I’ll just be grateful.

    I know very few women who are successful career dancers meaning they can retire from there dance earnings-life happens-bad divorces, medical issues, or getting scammed.

    I would not enter this as a profession hoping to become the next black chyna or cardi b. It happens but it’s RARE.

    I think the days of full time stripping are somewhat gone.
    I think it's still a great part time hustle.
    It's too hit and miss ( for most people ). If you really have things dialed it might be different.

    I just returned from a trip for example and I feel so DEPLETED . I was only gone 4 days + factoring 3 hours the next day for a return by car. So .... financially it was a success but if I really feel THIS depleted and I don't bounce back by tomorrow ( that would be two recovery days ) ...... was it really THAT successful ? I'm honestly debating !

    I think it's possible to work as a stripper full-time and make a decent living. However, there's a high burn out factor now because there's more apathy in the clubs. More extras, more dancer drama and cheaper guys. A lot of this has to do with clubs not being the IN thing anymore. Less clubs so more competition. Less money around because the economy isn't good unless you're a !% or you are making an excellent living. So it's still worth it but you have to be highly motivated and strong minded. And even then you will probably need many breaks because of burnout.

    I’d also like to add; if you want to have an extra layer of security and stability in this unstable industry, you’re gonna want to see a select few of your club regulars outside of the club, either as a Sugar Daddy or pay 4 play. I hate to say it or to condone it, but it’s honestly the truth. The club isn’t always reliable for making money especially in the winter depending on where you live. There may be weeks where you are struggling every day that you work. But if you have a trusted regular as backup during these times, you won’t struggle as much. I also recommend traveling to work at other clubs whenever possible, sometimes you need new scenery when your home club is going through a dry spell

    Well, you are being honest. And that takes guts to admit that because a lot of dancers do that but don't want to admit it or are ashamed. But if you do it right it could be okay. And dancers shouldn't be embarrassed about doing this. If you know the guy well, check out his background, screen him then it's your business what you do with him.

    Disagree. If you have good regulars and you start to see them outside the club, 99% of the time they are not coming back to the club, at least not to see you. If you make club customers into pay 4 play customers, you train customers to know that there is more to be found in the club than dances and that devalues dances, which is the commodity we are trying to sell as strippers.

    In my experience, the more regulars oriented a club is, the more rampant extras/outside the club “dates” are with higher pressure to participate. And it takes a heck of a tougher hustle to counteract the customers, who have already been trained.

    I’ve done well enough on some regulars oriented day shifts with new girl money, but eventually butted heads with many customers and there was polite dismissal from both ends. I’ve been trying out dayshift recently at a high volume club, hoping it’s different. Made decent enough money so far despite talk of Cubans who have undercut a lot. There’s already a club reg or two that I’m already not going back to dancing for. Time will tell if the influx is good enough to ride them out or if I’ll have to do nightshift instead. And minimize my contact to short term regulars. But caveat I’m from Texas and I don’t know if it’s like that everywhere. (From what I’ve gathered my state is “dirtier” than average)

    I do brace myself when a guy says he’s use to clubs from Texas. Even though I don’t like my dive club-it is high volume. I’ve always worked at high volume clubs because there’s not as much pressure to “date”.

    Has Texas gotten worst from 2 or 3 years ago? I quit working in the clubs there because of the burn out, having too aggressive/bad customers and not being able to make anything really; and not to mention that state has some of the worst management (and this is coming from a person whom has worked in top clubs and been able to travel elsewhere to work in other clubs and states.). The economy has gotten better, that would mean there Would be more customers to spend and spend more in the club/s, right?

    I work in Houston and I don't think it's gotten worse. It has stayed about the same as far as extras go. I don't think very clean dancers make good money down here. You'd have to at least tolerate some touching and grinding. There's very few girls who don't do that or don't do full on extras.

    You can’t generalize the whole state of Texas as being one thing or another. Every city has a different economy, different industries employing workers, different dynamics and different cultural norms in the clubs, different managers and customers in every club.

    Houston is much different from Dallas, one prime example. I also do not think the clubs are “worse” but on the same token I wouldn’t say customers are aggressive or bad, I love the managers where I work, and I do well there.

    Everyone’s experience is different but there are too many clubs and too many variables in this state to put them under an umbrella description.

    But, that’s not what this thread is about.

    In my experience Houston and Dallas have the same expectations and milege. And most of the managers in the state have been indifferent/mean. (Of course, there is an exception to the rule.)

    And when I say indifferent or mean, indifferent to their job as manager, exploiting girls for money/demanding tips, very shady practices, etc.

    And when you do tip voluntarily they won't back you.

    I remember, I did a private room for a few hours, and the credit card was charged for my time/dances. And then it was canceled and the manager was expecting a tip from me after he allowed the charge to cancel after I spent hours with this guy and expected to be compensate d for my time and then, the manager froze my club account. Stuff like that happens a lot in those clubs. And I have never experienced that type of shit working outside of Texas..

    The request of refunds to managers after you have already give a dance and you supposedly have to compile to this. And these guys are seeing this and how poorly these managers treat the dancers and proceed to do the same.

    And are you expected to be groped by a customer with him feeling entitled to your body without him paying you anything.p?

    Houston club's are the worst I've ever seen. Greedy and idiotic, sleezy management, horrible cheap entitled customer s, the girls are mostly pimp out , and do cheap extras. Just the worst. A house mom told me it got worst after 2013.

    @yaya At the two clubs I’ve worked at in the DFW area, I’ve actually been impressed with management. There’s a level of professionalism, and not being just a number (despite the clubs themselves being so high volume)

    The San Antonio/Austin area is generally more indifferent management. (But there’s exceptions) However the positive trade off is that there is no scheduling or shift minimum rules. There have been lots of times I showed up, netted $200-$300, after tip out, and bounced out and was home long before the club closed. And I don’t ask permission to leave. Just get dressed and have everyone’s tip in hand. So it’s not all bad.

    But the main point I was trying to make earlier is that I agree that there’s still a certain amount of reality with what EastCoastDancer was saying about putting out because of financial stability ( if travel isn’t possible.) In addition, IMO when *a little* putting out happens I do think it helps the $ somewhat for everyone in the club, In the same way the fact that some lottery ticket purchasers win helps sales) But yes, past a certain saturation point, it does get to be a problem and is a race to the bottom. Which I worry about and I hate those environments too. Which is why I think she emphasized ~selected~ regulars.

    I’m more motivated by the hustle. For me personally, I’m sure there would be more money for less hours if I transitioned into fssw. I’ve been tempted once or twice to quit dancing and put up a few online ads. But at the end of it all, I view the strip club like an arcade game and I play it for fun.

    Yes! I agree that it's not a great idea to meet customers outside the club. But I do know a dancer on this thread and know the club that she works at and sometimes meeting theses rich guys before a shift for dinner motivates them to come to the club after dinner. I can't say that I liked it. But this one wealthy customer would have you meet him for sushi before the shift. He would meet with about a dozen of the dancers at this sushi restaurant before their shift, each separately. He didn't give me money for the dinner. However, the money I made with his 2 to 3 visits in the club a month, was worth me going to get sushi with him once every few months. But I don't believe he would've gone into the club 2 to 3 times a month to see me if I didn't throw in a sushi lunch here and there. Or, that's what I was told by his regular dancers. He wasn't pushy or touchy with me at the restaurant or club. And I would make make around $400 for a half hour dance with him. So it was just a solid bread and butter customer without extras or high maintenance. Except the sushi lunches here and there for about an hour and a half which were a bit annoying. I would say he saw me consistently at this club for at least three years until I quit there. Not crazy awesome money but like I said, bread and butter. Roughly about a thousand a month so about $36,000 in three years. Not including all of the money I made besides him. I don't condone meeting customers but for me this worked.
