hey, right now i'm 17 and turning 18 this july. i'm a senior in high school. i'm interested in being a stripper, possibly. i have 16% body fat, but i'm 5'3 and weigh around 135. My legs are muscular but they are big and i HATE that. I don't have a very good stomach, so i'm not sure where the muscle mass is hiding (ha) but anyway, i was wondering what people thought about this? I'm on a diet right now, weight lifting three times a week and cardio almost every day, but I just started doing it. I'd like some input or tips or advice or anything! I've been thinking about it for awhile. Like, since this summer. Long story but I think it would be interesting a good way to make money (if I even could!) Anyway, thanks for reading.

This business isn't for everyone and I'm sure that the majority of dancers on here will testify to the fact that being an exotic dancer isn't all the glamour and glitz that movies or HBO specials portray. There are nights where you'll go home with less money than you walked in with. You'll have managers who's idea of an audition is having sex with them in the back office. You'll have customers treat you like trash and make you feel as though you are a worthless human being. It's a tough job. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. Many dancers I talk to who started dancing at 18 (or sometimes illegally at a younger age) have told me that they don't regret dancing, they just wish they would have started it a bit later in life. We've actually turned customers away because, after talking with them, they just weren't ready to work in this business. I had one girl about six months ago who was 19 and wanted to start dancing here in Vegas. She wanted to attend our class first to get a head-start, which is fine. Many of our students are in that scenario. What I learned was that she was a freshman in collge (again, nothing new there) but her reason for dancing was because she wanted to be rich at 22 and "it was so glamourous of a business". She grew up in a very religious family and had never even so much as stepped foot into a strip club before. Her only influence in the business was watching Demi Moore on the big screen. This business would have chewed her up and spit her out faster than you can say "g-string".
