    Default I Want To Strip.......... But.....

    Hi everyone!!!
    I respecfully post as a wanna-be stripper. I'm 21 from new jersey and basically, i cant stand my 8-5 job at a financial institution, im going crazy. i think id love stripping, ive been debating on it for a while....

    right now i make 30,000 a year... do you think ill make more moeny stripping if i quit and strip? im pretty and i think id be able to dance!


    2 things im really worried about. help out these rumors and PLEASE PLEASE, be honest, i really need to know...


    1. taxes... how does this work...

    2.!!!! I'VE heard from friends that if i stripped id be pressured to have sex with the bouncers. I've heard this so much. they say if u dont, they'll make it really hard to wwork there or fire you. I'm scared, b/c im in a serious relationship and my bf has no problem with me stripping, he actually encourages it, but i cant be in an environment where ppl expect me to ahve sex with them or pressure me to.


    HELP!!! Is this the TRUTH??? any advice...

    I can't help with the taxes question, but there's plenty in the Dollar Den that is useful info.

    Okay.......staff at strip clubs can and will flirt with dancers. ("Why does a dog lick his balls? Because he can.") It's up to you to control yourself, and set boundaries. To be blunt, I haven't heard too many pressure stories about bouncers but managers usually have a bad reputation. THEY pressure dancers if they take a liking to one. The bouncer wants your tip out and hopes to f*ck you eventually, and if he has to wait there's always some other girl he can chase...(sorry, it's a zoo in there.) I dated a bouncer with the implicit understanding that if sh*t rolled downhill, it would be worse for me than him. Seniority, friends, dancers are a dime a dozen..blah blah blah. Be careful.

    I am able to claim all my tips on a tip slip, and am paid a whopping 2.35 an hour by my club. Many clubs don't do this however, and I'd suggest looking in the Dollar Den or PM ing some of the girls who legitamately file their taxes. Many dancers think they don't need to, and then get audited a few years later, and end up paying taxes anyway. also. As far as being pressured, many people will try to talk you into many things, don't be naive and you should be just fine. I personally have never been put in this situation, but would suggest trying to find a good reputable club to work in.

    If you're all business and just tip the bouncers when you walk out..then there should not be a problem. Don't go there and alow yourself to talk to bounces during the slow times. But in my own experience I have thought the bouncers treated me well. Some are married and have families. They're just trying to make some money too. So really it sounds like stero-typing bouncers...people stero-type us strippers all the time. Visit some clubs and you'll know what kinda of place is for you. Good luck!

    The way taxes are paid vary by club to club. Definitely get the low-down before you start. Are you taxed as an employee (which means you'll claim your nightly earning on a tip sheet and it'll come out of your paycheck) or will you be an IC (independant contractor--at which point you will need to pay the IRS quarterly). It's important that you know ahead of time so you don't get "blind-sided".

    As for sleeping with the bouncers...if you do not want to do it, then don't. If it's a condition of being hired, walk away. Check out a few of your local clubs/clubs that you would be interested in working in and go from there.

    If you are nervous about dancing, then maybe dance on weekends while working your current job. Dancing CAN make you money...but, this is a feast or famine type of business...so you need to make sure you save, save, save. There is no amount of money that you can absolutely depend on. You really need to sit down and figure out how much your debt come to...and then decide how much you would need to make each night to reach that total to pay off that debt and live comfortably. It'll help give you an idea of how much you need to save each week. The nice thing about dancing weekends, and keeping your current job is that you'll have that dependable paycheck while "learning the ropes" of dancing (which ALWAYS takes a little while).

    Good luck!

    In what state are you thinking of stripping at? Not all staff are like that, at least where I worked at the male staff seemed respectful enough towards me there. Never had that problem.

    I've never had that experience with bouncers. I've chatted with them, they've run errands, bought lunch, and refused tips, never with any kind of pressure to have sex. At my new club I don't know the bouncers, but I doubt that's even an issue. I'm a virgin so that's just not even an option.

    I have never, in my experience, had a problem with the bouncers in a club. However, I did work at one club where the manager harassed all the girls for sex at least several times a night. Many girls did, but I didn't. I just walked away. I figured he could fire me if he didn't like me becuase I wouldn't have sex with him. But....he needed dancers....So I stayed around for a little while, until I couldn't deal with him anymore.

    my bouncers are rock! nothing but sweet, well-mannered & professional! i worked in a club where the bouncers didnt look out for me cause i wouldnt buy drugs from them like all the other girls. those bouncers also stole money from the girls too.

    remember: you're there to DANCE. your dancing may vary depending on where you live (clothed lapdances, full nude air dances, etc) but dancing & sex are 2 different things. if they pressure you to have sex, quit. that's the great thing about dancing, if you don't like something, you can move on to another club pretty easily.

    lilroguevixen- in a society where sex is highly pressured on people, you've stood your ground & arent shy about admitting it. that rocks!

    There are bouncers at my club who are just asses! They are all married except for one, and 1 is even friends with my boyfriend. They talk shit with me all the time. Also the managers are all pervs too. You don't have to do anything. I chose to blow them all off, I don't need them wasting my time.

    Depending on how much you work. You will most likely make more than $30, 000.

    And taxes are paid quarterly. I wouldn't do them yourself, I know a girl who did and she got screwed.
