    Default I cant do it!

    TRY AS I MIGHT! I cannot go back to stripping. I tried it tonight, and it completely SUCKED. Something about the whole thing just makes me very angry and very abusive, like towards customers, which isnt a good thing. I tried, but it wasnt enough. Im back in retirement!

    Give it another chance...my first week club dancing left me near tears....I was so angry. I made zero money.....

    I just found a better club. It is hard but the high-dollar nights make it worth it.

    Ya, you gotta find the right club, that's for sure. Maybe try somewhere else?

    I wish I could be your DJ and help you out.

    It certainly sounds like it is time to move on to the next thing then!

    I made money and everything, money was pouring in, but I just cannot stand the job in general. It was fun when I first started, but the fun is gone, and I just hate it. I hate the smoke, the drunk weirdos, bleh. I know I cant dance again, I just get so bitchy and angry, just because Im there. I donno, its hard to explain, but I know I hate doing it

    You're not alone....that's why my name on here is FORMER_LV_DANCER....
    Once I quit I never even attempted going back and know I never can. It was fun at first, but with what you have to put up with the money is just not worth it in exchange for your sanity. The whole scene gets old real fast, do I miss sometimes having the ability to make $1000 in ONE DAY, well yeah who wouldn't. But I'll take my regular paychecks now.....I have peace of mind.
    And sometimes that is worth more than a good payday. If you feel anger and hate being there it's really not healthy for you and not good for the custy's either.
    After 3 years I burned out. For those who do it for several years or more, bless your hearts, I don't know how you hang in there for long term in this business. It's so lucrative at times but so draining mentally and physically.
    I'm really glad I did it, but never again.

    Amber, you're beautiful, and you look good wrapped around the pole (as you've shown in the pics you posted before)...but if your heart isn't in it, your bosses can tell, your customers can tell, and most importantly, you can tell. And no amount of money or adulation would be able to change your outlook.

    Sounds to me like you know you're through with dancing...our loss for those who didn't get to see you when you were enjoying it.

    Awww, thank you TO And like FLVD said, bless those girls hearts that can do it for 6 and 7 years, lol. 2 years and I burntout. Oh well though. Ill be much happier when I finish school and get a good job. And I agree about the mental health thing. It really isnt a good thing for me to get all pissy and worked up over stuff like that. No more dancing for me, although I will continue to enjoy the pole in my home

    Well, dear if it's not for you, so be it. I can relate, and also to FLVD. It's a very difficult biz, to say the least. I do wish you all the best. Maybe you can find something else, til you get your nail tech license, good luck.

    Yeah, I know this all too well.... I came out of retirement three times, and all three times I had no issues whatsoever. This last time I quit, I did go back briefly... and I was disgusted. I made good money, but I guess I am just older and the fun was gone and replaced with disgust and a bad attitude.

    I dunno. I enjoy just staying at home working on my pole and going to my m-f 8-5 job and making my salary every month.

    I can totally relate. I keep taking a few months off, expecting to go back all rejuvenated, and I'm lucky if I can go a day before I'm annoyed again. I'm in the middle of another break (1 month in), and I'm not missing it yet...

    However, I do feel that my annoy-ed-ness has a lot to do with where I work, seeing the same people (dancers and regs) and dealing with the same bullshit over and over. I'm planning on dancing again, but in a different city- I think this might help make it more exciting for me. At least I hope so!

    Maybe you could try working somewhere totally different from what you're used to?

    Gurrrl!
    I totally understand. The thrill is gone, move on. I just need to do it one more month and I can barely make it in more than once a week. Best of luck to you!
