    Default Wannabe Stripper

    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.

    Where are you located *Kaygirl*? here in NYC any type of girl flys depending on the guys. I mentioned in another forum that some guys like their girls to be a size 12+ and some prefer that size 2. I'm currently starting up my own exotic dancing company based out of brooklyn NY and the girls i have emailing and calling me are all completely different from one another. Good Luck.

    Hi Kaygirl....

    i know it say's in the front that you are not allowed to enter if under 18 so i'm not sure if you can post here or whatever BUT my advice to you is to read as much as possible on here to find out more about the business..... there is sooooooooo much info that i'm sure you will have the answers to most if not everything that you want to know.

    As for you weight and size....... you say you are dieting and exercising right? well if you turn 18 in july you have 5 months to get in shape which is enough time i am sure.

    When you finally do turn 18 go and visit some strip clubs in your area to find out what really goes on and to also see if this business is really for you.

    Good luck Seraya.

    Kaygirl, I have removed your account. I am sorry, but we cannot let those under 18 use the site - it is for adults ONLY. Doing otherwize may be against the law. Please come back when you are 18.
    We all imagine ourselves the agents of our destiny, capable of determining our own fate. But have we truly any choice in when we rise, or when we fall, or does a force larger than ourselves bid us our direction. Is it evolution that takes us by the hand, does Science point our way, or is it God who intervenes keeping us safe.

    So much struggle for meaning, for purpose. And in the end, we find it only in each other. Our shared experience of the fantastic. And the mundane. The simple human need to find a kindred, to connect. And to know in our hearts... that we are not alone.

    I can understand why it's wrong that a 17 year old is on here but I have to commend her for starting to look into the business early. Good luck Kay.

    I don't commend that. It's too young. I wish I had still been a virgin at 17 and not knocked up. I love stripping, don't get me wrong. But it is woman's work. Not a sport for little girls. The school girl thing should remain a fantasy, not a reality.
    17 should be home with parents and studying, not performing sexual acts until all hours of the night
    I fantasized about stripping for years, and made a lot of mistakes in my youth, but thank god that 18+ and 21+ laws are enforced-- in my area and on this site.

    I was waiting for a dancer to actually say something like this before I did. 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".

    Dancing isn't for everyone and that's not a bad thing and I'm not saying this to demean dancers at all. Personally, I couldn't hack doing a lot of jobs that people do. I was born and raised in Las Vegas and oddly enough, I'm still not used to the heat here. I hate it. How someone can go outside and build houses when it's 102 degrees at 6AM is beyond me. I couldn't do that job for ten seconds. People do it though. Is it for everyone? Of course not.

    i just turned 18 this past october. i am only a senior in high school and still live with my parents. i just started dancing last month. My family found out my mom had cancer in this past july. My dad is just a construction worker and since my mom got sick she can't work. I was working at a store for 7.00 an hour but i wasn't gettin enough hours. So, i started dancing so i could pay my old way ( car insurence, cell phone,gym, gas money). Plus the club helps me get away from things and clear my mind. My parents don't know i dance and i don't plan to tell them (they think i work at a diner). I have always thought about dancing so it wasn't a last resort but i would have waited until i was in college.

    It's sad that so many girls are in a rush to grow up. I love dancing. But, I didn't start until last year (at 28/29). I am glad that I waited. I knew who I was before tossing myself in with the wolves, so to speak. I see so many girls that mess themselves up and it's sad. I am sure that there are older strippers who get mixed up with the negative side of this business, but in my experience, it's mainly been the young girls who aren't really sure how to handle the pressure and just get sucked in.

    If you are going to dance, my advice to you would be to wait a while, make sure you are strong with yourself and what you want. Have a plan and then stick with that plan. Make sure that you keep your eyes open to the reality and don't let yourself get "fooled" by the so-called "glamour" of the business.

    Well, I live 150 and 360 miles from mother and father, respectively, it wasn't that difficult - I'm 19, college freshman [sort of, technically my 5th semester, but 3 were part-time].

    When I started other dancers did get kind of wide-eyed "you're so young!" I don't know, I think I was lucky that I started dancing in a small, relatively good place. By good I mean the management has been nice, the girls aren't cruel or snotty, and except the occasional jerk the clientel isn't horrendous. I'm also, I dunno, not interested in being in the industry - I like doing this, but it's not my consuming passion.

    But, what is the large difference between an 17-year-old performing sexual acts on stage and an 18-year-old? Legalities aside, you don't have scores of emotional maturity fall into your lap the moment you turn 18.

    I agree that maturity doesnt just drop in your lap at 18, but the line has to drawn somewhere. In some case I think maturity never drops in their lap, they just never grow up. I dont mean to fault any of the young dancers here, or anyone who started young, but I personally feel the min age should be atleast 19 if not 20 or 21.

    I know when I was young I just wanted to have all the things I saw older people have, but personally I wasnt strong enough to step into this grown up world.

    I remember one event when I was young, when I received a blast of extreme verbal abuse from a third party, not even a person I was talking with, and I couldnt help but cry. Silly as it may seem to me now, I just hadnt built up the thick skin we all do as adults.

    Many jobs are difficult, and any job dealing with the public can be frustrating, but this profession has its own unique areas of risk.
    As I have matured,I have learned "that one good turn....usually gets most of the blankets",-)

    I guess what I meant by the most part is that at least kay is looking into it and could have the information to decide that it's not for her. at the very least and best.

    also, i was reading over her message and i think she meant that she was gonna start when she was going to turn 18, not now when she's 17. i don't know for sure cuz i dont know of clubs that allow 17 year olds unless of course it's seriously illegal.

    I find it absolutely hilarious that everyone seems to be basing maturity on age. Im 18 years old and I have been out on my own since I was sixteen. I finished school, kept a job, and manage to stay away from drugs and alcohol. There are tons of 18 year olds that stay home and live off mommy and daddy, because that's how he is supposed to be. However, I have known 30-40 year olds who still are "mature" and not getting any closer to obtaining that maturity. I think I have done damn well being 18, surviving sexual abuse (yet still having tremendous self-esteem), cancer, and lots of racism. Im very proud of myself, and to me it doesn't matter if you are 18 or 35....maturity doesn't just happen, it is a learning and understanding process.

    Wisdom doesn't always come with age sometimes you just get the age.

    Polekitten I agree with you. I started dancing when I was 18. Even though I live with my mother, I was basically the man of the house. I had grew up fast. Helping my mother out. Finish HS at 17 and start college. I disagree with the whole 18 is too young bs.

    But in some places it's illegal. 21 is a must.

    An opinion to one of the previous posts about how we hide what we do from familys and friends... I think you should be proud of what you do. My father knows and hes cool about it. My grandmother is like "go baby go!" I dont think you should hide the fact that you dance personally. I dont see a reason to honestly. I have one very young girl at work who comes from another state just to dance at the club because she cant tell anyone. She says its mainly because her boyfriend would breakup with her which i think is rather ridiculous. If your BF loves you then they will accept you for who you are and what you do end-of-story. As for the age thing... I think that the age doesnt have anything to do with it... its the maturity! But somewhere in my mind I think its best to start dancing at 21 instead of 18.
    You think you know... but you have no idea!

    I'm 22, just graduated from College, going to grad school in the fall. My parents just cut my financial strings, so, now that I'm forced to get a job to support myself, and I've always considered exotic dancing, I'm going to give it a try.
    Is 22 old to start dancing?

    For all who are saying that "18 is not too young"... you have managed to survive what many would deem impossible odds. You are NOT the norm in your situations. Do you suggest that so many others try it before trying something else? This board is FILLED with rage, manic depression, fright, rape, stalks, and so forth. I attended a seminar with an actor in it once. His first recommendation. Do NOT go into acting. The statistics are staggering. The chances state that you will not make it. Some do...and those people are happy. For the 95+% who do not...life is miserable with no other recourse.

    I am not making a judgement nor an assumption...this is simply a question.

    Well, coming from someone in the performing arts (besides dancing) I don't do Theatre and Music because I want to "make it". I do it because I love it. It is a part of who I am. You'll find that the people who don't make it are usually the people who are trying to become famous. The ones who have made it have usually done so by doing what they love...acting. It comes across as sincere instead of someone TRYING to become famous.

    You dance because you love to dance...you act because you love to act. If you do not find joy in it...then you are doing it for the wrong reasons.

    VenusGoddess, you hit the nail on the head with that last comment. True there are days where I hate to get up and go to work, but that's with ever job. But I totally agree 17 is not even an option. For me(no offense), 18, 19, and 20 are too young to start dancing in a non-juice bar. I have worked in clubs where there was under-age drinking and we got busted for it. Now, I never went to jail, but tons of the girls did becuase at that age they thought it was just a party. when you get a little maturity in your system(no matter what age) and you can handle everything that goes with dancing they I think you are ready to play with the big dogs. Oh by the way is that pic really you @VENUSGODDESS? If so you have lovely eyes!

    Which was precisely this guy&#039;s point, and mine.

    I also agree with the statements about maturity, youth, party symdrome, etc. There is a post around here somewhere by someone who practiced dancing with a dozen of her male friends...and they violated her. Now she&#039;s freaked out. The fact is that this is not a career one should take lightly. You are immediately setting yourself up for frightening situations. If you cannot handle yourself and protect yourself, then you&#039;re really in for it.

    well the original young lady said she was possibly looking into stripping- not definately. perhaps her reasons aren&#039;t just because she thinks it&#039;s glamorous and a great way to party. perhaps she was told by her parents that soon after she turns 18 she would have to get a job, find her own apartment, and most financial if not all would be cut off for her. so she&#039;s put some thought into it and realised that if done correctly, dancing can provide her with the finances needed to cover her basics. i mean isn&#039;t that the main reason so many of you started dancing young?
