I just got through reading the thread on what the perception is of female strippers. So I would like to ask SW members the same about us guy strippers:
What is the stereotypical male stripper?

Looks, moves and talks like Duffman from the Simpsons. Does that thrusting move with his hands behind his head and can't seem to stop.

duffman from the simpsons.... that one made me laugh.
If I do get into it I promise i wont do the hands on head thrust lol, maybe a backflip or two though.
Allways shoot for the moon, even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars.





Oh jeez, maybe I'm stuck in time but to me the stereotype is the Early 80's Beefcake. Fluffy, feathered hair or a perm, mustache, and either a patch of hair on his chest only, or not a single hair on his body. Not very smart but can stand there and look pretty, and is able to do many... interesting acrobatic tricks with his package.
LOL oh man that's bad. Egads shame on me.

I've had to MC a few of these events either at clubs i was working at or for a friend etc. my "stereotypical male stripper":
-that vaguely-permed-always-wet-lookin Fabio hair. It always makes me sing the "LET YOUR SOUUUUUUUUUUUUUL GLOOOOOOOWWW!" theme song.
-most of them have decent or even great bodies but they work out too much and get those permanent muscle love handles that look really stupid. especially in an elephant trunk thong.
-bring in their own horrifying mix cd's for their shows that sound like they were recorded in a doberman's asshole by a drunken leprechaun with a disco fixation. and then everyone glares at the booth when the cd skips! ARRGH!! (that's a dj thing, but it has happened at every male review thing i have worked.)
-have that perpetually "oiled look".
-and OMG YES they all do that hands behind the head pelvic thrust thing.
waffles are just pancakes with little squares on them.

I have also seen versions of pretty well all the above "stereotypes". I work solo these days and am a little isolated where I am so am basing my opinions on experience back home (Australia) mainly, plus the occassional international experiences that I have had too.
I think the stereotype changes from culture to culture, but there are basics that stick, some of which I am "guilty" of too.The body shaving thing definitely (essential for me and most male dancers in my opinion); the oil thing (although I use it at the end only when most of the tricks are done so as I don't get it all over the stage and customers); and I do own some neon posing trunks and the odd neon thong (
).
The other stuff I have tried to avoid.
Any comments from the other stripper dudes on the board?
- Being a slut and picking up customers is a major motivator for most guys that get into this but as I started at stripping from another angle it wasn't a huge motivation for me - plus I learned early on in life not to mix business with pleasure
- the bad music stuff I have NEVER been guilty of but yes, Mr.Christopher - male strippers are notorious for what you described (and I pissed myself laughing at that description BTW!);
- the hair thing is also a factor I noticed (in Melbourne this is a big thing with the European-descent guys) but not for me as I am a baldie!!!
- the gay references need comment also - from the small foray into sexuality studies that I have made, I think the whole topic is complex, but in a nutshell most male strippers that I have known / know / met are bi, or are straight with a lot of factors in their behaviour that would lead most to think they were gay (i.e. if you put these guys next to the average Joe you'd think he's gay)
- lots of bodybuilder guys get into stripping as a means of supporting / supplementing their competitive endeavours, or as a way of extending the hit they got competing; unfortunately, this is where many of the stereotypes of the overly muscled dude that can't dance and has no taste in anything stems from

CHAD i appreciate what you have to say. and i think it was well said.
i think that male strippers are probably more dehumanized than females (not sure of the validity of that statement; it's just a hunch).
just do to the fact that they have to be sexy and masculine; which, in real life, is often an oxy-moron.
i just wanted to let the guys know that it might be worth it to look into some other form of hair removal besides shaving.
the pricklies are not sexy. and it reminds you more of how male dancers primp more than most women.
i had a male dancer friend who was the dj at a club i worked at. he used to carpool some of the girls on a 45 minute drive to work and one time i had to squeeze right next to him. his arm and my arm lay along side each other for the diration of the ride. Not Cool. I didn't like the sensation at all.
just a suggestion though/

I'm a guy (though not a stripper....yet) and I wax my chest and abdomen. It hurts a bit but after a while you get used to it and the hair grows back thinner. MUCH better than shaving IMO.
I actually went with my gf to club 281 (male strip club in Montreal) and I found that they all looked great. And there was such a variety of guys for every type of woman.
There were big bodybuilder types, athletic types, huge-dicked types, and even normal cute-looking types. Everyone of them had some interesting quality. And boy were their routines crazy! Matrix fight, S.W.A.T reanactment, Magic show, Hockey player, some dude with champagne near a candle lit bath tub, the list goes on and on.![]()
I have to say that I went to my FIRST male strip club last weekend and I have to tell you it was NOTHING like I thought it was going to be. Stereotyping I know, sorry. I was surprised at how many "normal" guys were stripping. Not too many beefcakes with Fabio hair.
Also I was flabbergasted by the fact that they dance better than I do! They can do more pole tricks than I can! I thought it would be all thrusting moves lol. Also they had way better themes and more energy. With the themes they got more into it, this guy dressed up in pajamas and brought out his teddy bear. Another dressed up in full firefighter uniform, boots and all.
I couldn't help myself I was hooting and hollering for them to "Take It Off Baby!"
Then I found myself in a bit of a perdicament with a stripper named Adrian. I had to remind myself that he's only selling a fantasy, it's not real. lol And I'm going back tonight to see him. Should I leave SW now and join up with the SCJ's cuz now I know exactly how it feels to be on the other side and DAMN is all I got to say.
Ok sorry I'm rambling didn't mean to hijack your thread ChadW, but I just wanted to say my stereotypes were proven wrong and I commend all you male strippers out there![]()
