    Default Is it bad that I live so close to the clubs I want to work at?

    Hi guys! I am researching which clubs I want to dance at. A LOT of the clubs I want to dance at are only like .5mi to 10 miles away. Is that bad or unsafe? I will be taking an uber to and from work, and getting rides from my bf. Obviously I won't tell anyone at the club (including other girls), and if anyone else has any safety tips please let me know!

    I don't think it's BAD per se. There were a few girls at my previous club that lived a mile away. They usually took Uber. Honestly I was kinda jealous of them, I don't like putting miles on my car & also got nervous having even 1 drink at work & then having to drive home at 2 am when the cops were verrrrrry interested in our street.

    Just be extra careful of your surroundings. Have a bouncer walk you out, he should ensure nobody immediately follows you out of the club. Be super aware of any cars leaving the lot behind you. If you feel like you're being followed, circle back to the club or go to a well-lit place with some people around, like a 24 hour Walmart or a gas station.

    You might run into customers outside work though. If that will bother you, try to do your hair & makeup much differently for work & cover up any distinct tattoos.

    I think it's ok. Just don't tell anybody where you work. Are you concerned about your family and friends finding out ?

    I think it depends. I used to live so close to my home club that I could have walked there if I wanted. I almost never ran into customers outside of work, maybe once or twice...it was a club that attracted a lot of tourists, bach parties, out of town businessmen more so than a local hangout.

    Nah it's probably fine. I have lived in Portland a few years, always pretty close to most of my clubs. Occasionally when out at a restaurant or something I get glances that feel like maybe someone recognizes me, maybe from the club. But it has never been a"problem" problem. I also don't tend to wear makeup in my daily life, wear glasses, look suuuuuper casual. Pretty different from my dancer look. I think that helps.

    I've always lived pretty close to my home clubs and I've never felt unsafe because of it.

    Nah, you’re safe! And Portland is a big city, it’s so much easier to blend into big cities and not be seen. Plus, you’re not originally from there so it’s not like you have to worry about running into people you grew up with like if you were in a small town. From my experience, most club patrons live a good distance from the clubs they go to, it’s very rare for me to meet guys who live close by the club (since they don’t want to get busted lol). With club security, it’s extremely unlikely to be followed home. And don’t tell people where you live, lie and say you live farther away in a small town

    I live close to my home club no biggie. I just watch behind me to see if someone follows and if I do I just take a few extra turns to make sure you'll be fine

    I live close to mine, the furthest being half an hour away! I wear wigs to work so outside of work, I either don't wear it, or wear it with no makeup and baggy clothes lol. I usually drive or take a Lyft, and it comes out to be around ~$10 which is great in my book!

    I've been all over the map as far as distance from clubs. I've worked at clubs that were 50 miles from home and a club that was less than 5 minutes away. For me, the sweet spot is about 10-15 miles because I don't like driving and I tend to work more frequently when I'm close to the club. When I worked at the club that was extremely close to me, I always varied my route and went out of my way to take a random way home every night as a precaution. Of course, don't ever tell customers you live close to the club. I always tell them I live about an hour or so from the club, or I say something vague like "downtown" where hundreds of thousands of other people live.

    probably no big deal.

    I have been followed and spotted by so many creepers at this point I have come to the conclusion that creepers gonna creep.

    Get some kind of protection to keep with you and keep your gaurd up. Don't wander around in the neighborhood talking or texting on your phone -- do that shit at home. Watch your surroundings always. Be ready for things to go wrong and they probably wont. Don't act like a target. Know where you are going and go there. Watch your back. If you think you are being followed, go to a FIRE DEPARTMENT. Know where they are before you need them.

    And try to look different at work and when you are out there living your life.

    PDX is supper stripper friendly, so it's not gonna be bad to be close to work. Fuck all that traffic.

    I should add that Portland is both wild in general and has gained a LOT of population so you're gonna run into weird people whether they figure out your night job or not. (I spent time in downtown PDX several years ago and me and my friend got a LOT of attention from guys b/c they assumed we were available.)

    I live one subway stop/bus stop/10 min cab ride from the club. No issues thus far but I live in a huge city so.

    ^^ I LOVE living close to work. Just a quick note - When using Uber I usually put in my address that's a few houses down from where I live, and meet the driver on the corner when I'm getting picked up and dropped off. I don't need someone who knows i carry a bunch o' cash every night also knowing which house is mine.

    If you don’t mind running into customers outside of work then you should try it out. I lived 10 miles from my old club and still ran into customers almost daily. I hated it cause I keep my work and personal life separate and felt like I could never relax or enjoy myself outside of work. Now I travel over an hour to my new club and while the drive is horrible late at night, I know I can go home and will never run into a customer that I gave dances to the night before. Lol

    I ran into more customers when I lived 15 min drive to the club vs when I lived 35 minutes away (still managed to run into some although I am a social hermet). The most annoying thing was running into customers at the gym=more people know where you work because guys tell other guys. Oh and then those other guys come to the club to look at you. And by proxy, they think they have a chance to date you "cause you have similar interests" (gym) lol
