    Default Imagine your daughter is a dancer...

    ...what would you think of her?

    Now I've read that some of you guys here HAVE daughters, so be honest, now. I suppose you'll all say you'd have no problem with it...

    But here's the REAL question:

    What if she were not only a dancer, but one who gives as much mileage as you're personally used to looking for from a dancer? What would you think of her then?

    How much mileage would she have to give to change your opinion of her?

    (I'm childless and want to stay that way--too much responsibility--so I can't really imagine this.)

    Well, assuming I am not a deadbeat father, I would have raised her as best as I could and I would hope she could make decisions like an adult. If I found out she was a dancer at 18 I would be nervous, but step back and prepair to help her if she falls. At 21, I don't think I would mind, however the only times I would mind is if she never spoke about it and put off the vibe that she was unhappy.

    Other than that, she's a grown woman, I can only make sure I can help her if she needs it :/ Why bother being a dick about it. If she is a 'DANCER' then she already did all the work, and I would be proud to know my daughter was hot enough too to be one...Tho I dunno where she'd get the good looks from.

    A`favorite once told me, "If you were my father, I wouldn't be a dancer." I really can't imagine it.

    That said, I'd care about personal health and safety more than whether she broke club rules.

    This is implying that if she had a father, her economic situation would have been better and she would not have become what she is now.

    Sorry, I don't buy this.

    I came into this line of work, mainly because it afforded me the fastest and quickest way to make a whole lot money fast. And I have.

    Not to say that I did not have a loving home, two parents, two other sisters,
    but sometimes you got to strike out on your own.

    Call me mercenary, or whatever, but I could never had the opportunity for education, to advance myself.

    I saw too soon what my future was going to be, like my two older sisters, trapped in a loveless marriage, burdened with children, catering to their husbands every whim.

    No, if I was going to have my future, I was going to have to create it, and this line of work has helped me. It sure did.

    pinkies probably want to look away now...

    Its difficult to answer without adding a stipulation.

    I'd be very unhappy if my daughter who has the intellectual talent, potential, and curiosity to do more than remove her clothes and grind on guys cocks ended up spending her 20s dancing when she could be using that time to further her intellectual career. There is simply no substitute for experience, and losing 10+ years can be irreplaceable time in most scientific and engineering fields. When all is said and done school isn't enough; it's a starting point of a career, but it's the people who love their field enough to work in it and involve themselves in it on their off time that are the real stars and winners in their fields.

    Now of course some people can't afford school. I couldn't afford much. My parents didnt save any money for college so I payed for it by working full time. But there are other careers then stripping and I found one related to my field. Stripping wasn't a choice of course But working my related field was critically important in the long run when it came time to look for new, and better paying, work. So I'd encourage anyone with career aspirations to consider there is a tremendous long term cost associated with not working in a job that is related to your career.

    Anyway... thats the stipulation. If however she didn't have it in her to be in a field where experience is critical and she ended up stripping then I can't say I'd really care how much mileage she put out as long as she has the good sense to be safe. No unsafe fluid exchanges. If you're going to grind a little, then you may as well grind a lot.

    As Mast suggested, the only other major issue would be if fundamentally she bitched about it all the time, but kept on doing it. I don't have a lot of patience for people that burn up their time in life doing something they don't like but that for all the bitching don't find the motivation to find something that they do like. The old saying about money isn't everything applies. Also she'd surely get a lecture from me on how ironic it is that she burned up so much time telling me about how males have better career opportunities then females if she then ended up choosing to work in the oldest female profession in history.

    I think she meant a combination of genes, environment and money. But yeah, even that's no guarantee.

    Someone's daughter becoming a dancer is God's/karma's way of getting back at dead old Dad for visiting strip clubs. Feminists try to use this 'what if it were your daughter" argument to guilt trip us all the time.

    Needless to say, I would hope to bond enough with my kids where they could approach me or their mother on about anything. If I had a daughter who was interested in dancing, I'd hope that she would have enough courage to tell her parents without fearing their wrath. If she got into it, did some things she wasn't proud of, and decided that the business wasn't for her, I'd hope she'd feel free to chat with us about that as well.

    While I would be understandably worried, I would only raise objections if I saw that she was being sucked in to the pitfalls related to the job. The more upfront she could be with me about her work, the less I feel that she would be hiding from me, and the better her mother and I could sleep at night.

    And even if I had to object, perhaps I could convince her to go to beauty school, move to Utah, open up a Bikinicuts shop, and make impressionable young Mormon boys graduate into puberty.

    Judging by the website, she could even keep her stripper clothes.

    My one and only daughter is prime stripper age..22 y/o. She's a doll and probably would do OK but she does struggle with appearance confidence issues.

    Without actually experiencing it, I believe I would support her regardless of her career choice. But to be honest, I'm glad she has her Masters.

    Strangely enough I had this conversation with my daughter a few years ago when there was a news story of a coed getting kicked off of whatever college team she was on because she was dancing to pay her tuition. Mythen 14 year old couldn't understand what the dancer was doing wrong.

    I'd be OK with it but not thrilled. It's got nothing to do with morality, it's simply because most men in stripclubs are assholes and it's a parent's natural instinct to want to protect their kids from assholes.

    Oh, and by the way, those without daughters are really not qualified to judge in this case.

    Well, in my actual experience with this, my father called me a whore and told me to remove any evidence of my existence from his home. We patched it up a few months later after my mom convinced him that there was NO WAY I would actually be doing something as horrid and lowly as stripping. I imagine that your reality would be closer to mine if it happened to you.

    And I know my father regularly cheats on mom AND sees hookers in Mexico. That's about all of my input.

    I don't know - really I don't even know how fair the question is. I mean, how many father's would want to know about their daughters engaging in similar behaviour for free? Or want to know about their intimate details of what they like and don't like sexually? I don't think parents should really have to deal with their children's sexuality in today's society - since we have so sanitized all family relations, it's bound to seem weird and discomfitting when someone else doesn't see them in that sanitized way. I don't tell my parents because it's not something I'm interested in forcing them to deal with - although I have absolute faith that neither of them would call me a whore or disown me. They would both insist that I quit immediately, and probably use whatever means they had at their disposal to try to make me. I must admit - I do have a little incredulity that everyone here would be SO okay with it. I would not want my hypothetical kid doing this, and I think relatively few dancers would.

    Well, I perhaps meant to open the guys who write the trip reports that she is SOMEONES daughter--could be their own!

    And I guess I was also going for the awkwardness of introducing your daughter to your boss at a dinner and saying she's a stripper--it's got that stigma attached to it. Just like you might not want to introduce your son as a garbage-man, say. (Now please don't go on about that being a necessary job, since it IS critical, but it is also looked-down on as a warm-body sort of position, if you see what I mean.)

    Has there ever been a poll on the pink side that asks if your parents know about your stripping? It seems like a LOT keep it on the down low and I'd be curious as to the actual numbers...

    As for their child's sexuality, I agree that most parents don't want to know. Movies poke fun of the dad going after the guy she's dating because HE knows what the mother f'er is trying to do to his daughter! Dealing with a boyfriend would be bad enough--they don't want to think that their girl is out there night-after-night doing some level of 'it' with different guys in a SC for money. (Stripping--it's not just a job, it's a sex adventure!)

    Anyway, the question IS fair here since the people we're asking know all about SCs and what they in their heart-of-hearts think about it and the women they select...

    Or could be someones mother (eventually) or sister, could be your own.

    Welcome to the wonderful world of conflicts of interest in what we want. We all struggle with them. Its a fair question you raise, but it's unresolvable. Bottom line is I want to have my cake and eat it too. Most people do. Some are more or less honest about it. Some are better able to resolve the conflicts and hold to their 'ideals' .

    I want a society that makes it legal for girls to strip; I want to be able to occassionally enjoy stripping as a customer; I wouldn't want my daughter doing it not as compared with so many other things she might do for work. Inconsistent? Yes.

    I don't know that I really care too much about if she has a freaky sex life in private, although I wouldn't want to talk about it with her.

    I do care that she earns her living using her very talented brain and not waste that talent as I'm quite sure she'd end up ultimately feeling bitter in the long run if she wasted that talent. Plus I'd hate to see her treated like crap because everyone (including myself) ended looking down on her for choosing to strip vs choosing some other job that would carry more prestige (and less negative social stigma).

    Beyond the social stigma I'd hate to see her grow up to be bitter and negative about men and it seems a lot of stripper do end disliking men if they stay in the business long enough.

    This summer she spent the summer in her first real high pressure job, working for an engineering company as an apprentice. Its done her a world of good to spend the last summer working in "man's" job, in an engineering company with pressures and deadlines to meet. She's been raised with a lot of PC notions about males vs females in the job market. But it's really changed a lot of her childlike notions about what men do all day in a technical oriented job. She is getting some exposure to how business operates. What a shame it would have been if she spent her life thinking that all men do all day is focus on sex (not that its not in the back of our minds but we do actually manage to to find time to feed ourselves and accomplish a bit more than spank the monkey all day).

    Hmmmm, I meant that over here on the blue-side I wasn't sure if it's just a job and NOT sexual at all, or if you're sex-workers and if it's reality or if it's all fantasy and which dancers hold which positions on these ideas--it's soooo confusing!

    Since I specified the mileage you expect to normally get, I guess the closest I can come is to think about my own reaction by thinking about my ATF. I'm perfectly fine with her contact level with me and she can do that with any other customer all day long. However, if I found out she was giving heavy extras I would be disturbed and disappointed. (And NOT just because she's not giving them to me! )

    stripper #1: hi, my name is candy and i'm a recovering stripper.

    stripper #1: last night, i fell off the wagon and worked a shift at the stripclub. i let a customer finger me and performed 3 HJ and 2 BBBJ.
    stripper #2: i'm gonna claw your eyeballs out. you nasty, filthy, cum-sucking biatch. you're messing up my money! oh, i'm so sorry candy. old reflexes die hard. i forgot that we're trying to quit stripping..BTW, how much money did you make?

    actually, it's more likely he would that introduce his daughter as the garbage man. since, that would be a more acceptable cover story for the daughter rather than tell her father that she's a stripper.

    I would bet that most dancers wouldn't introduce themselves as dancers to total strangers. However, the stigma is yours, not theirs.

    Which question? The one you started this thread with or the one you actually wanted to ask? Like I said, two entirely different questions.

    Explain to me how she'd be wasting her brain stripping compared to engineering. She's got the same brain in either job. Am I incorrect in assuming she'd use it to do the best and make the most money in either job? That, if she chose to apply her mind to stripping, she wouldn't fit Mr_P's description of "flaky" strippers. Perhaps you're making a value judgment here and disguising it in terms of amount of intellect used?

    Since you can't control how others treat her, I can understand why you'd hate to see her in a job that's stigmatized by others. However, might I suggest that you stop looking down on women for choosing to strip? That's one person I know you can control. And it would be one less person contributing to the social stigma which you wouldn't want your daughter to experience.

    You're playing word games with yourself and only confusing yourself. I'll spell it out by way of example:

    My dog can learn to do a trick where he rolls over.

    I can learn to do do a trick where I roll over.

    My dog cannot learn how to do calculus.

    I can learn how to do calculus.

    My dog is not wasting his talent doing roll over tricks.

    I am wasting my talents doing roll over tricks.

    Let's not have a silly argument that removing ones clothes for a living is an equivalent use of her mental capabilities and mental potential as say, engineering, or medicine, or many other potential jobs that she might do, just because she has the same brain either way.

    While she could indeed learn to remove her clothes and lap dance, she could drop out of school and learn that. Removing ones clothes may indeed pay well, and may be emotionally stressful, and require polishing ones hustling skills, there is a reason why a sexy drop out can get a job stripping, but cannot get a job as a doctor, or a lawyer, or a computer programmer, and so on. Conversely there is a reason why a very intelligent, A+ student might get a job as an engineer, but not have the looks to be a stripper. Innate intellectual talent, and curiosity in areas of math, and science are not equal requirement for these jobs for the same reasons that beauty and looks are not equal requirement for these jobs.

    And lets not personalize it because its not just about dancing.

    She could also end up as janitor, and have the same brain. And I wouldn't recommend she do that either.

    Nor would I recommend she spend her life baking cookies, or arranging flowers as a florist. She could of course bake cookies, or mop floors for a living We teach retarded adults to those kind of jobs. But those aren't the jobs that are really going to push her or use her full sets of abilities. And conversely the retarded adults cannot be trained to do the types of jobs she is capable of doing.

    Its not just about dancing, so lets not personalize it.

    Plus let's not be short sighted. There are many jobs where if you waste your 20s and your not active in the field you will not be taken seriously later.. If she spends her 20s spending 8hrs a day dancing (or arranging flowers, or baking cookies, or mopping floors) thats 8hrs a day that she is not going to be involved in an industry where she will be pushed and put under pressure to learn the skills she needs to be effective in many fields that require years of study and practice. People do notice when your resume is a big blank for several years, or you put down some job which clearly has nothing to do with the field you want to work in.

    She cant afford to waste that time in her life, then wake up later and realize her dancing days are over (because her looks have faded, and they will fade, yours too) and then find that people only want to hire her for intellectual skills, skills that she spent very little time developing as compared with people who are working in the industries she will be competing against.

And it would be one less person contributing to the social stigma which you wouldn't want your daughter to experience.

    Easily said, but I think it would be more enlightening if you included Jenny in that:

    Once you've resolved how it is that someone in the industry wouldn't want her own kid doing it, then you can jump on me for saying the same. I think that works better because that way you can hash out why it is that another dancer wouldnt want her daughter doing it. Then I could just nod my head in agreement or disagreement if her reasons also make sense to me.

    See it might well be that its not the best choice of a job, even if some end up doing it. And then you might have to rethink whether or not its I that need to change my thinking or you that need to accept that are legit reasons why we wouldn't want our own daughters dancing.

    But as I said above, don't read too much into it. I also wouldn't want her to spend her 20s working as a florist, or a janitor, or a waitress, or baking cookies, or thousands of other jobs that she might do, but that would not take advantage what she has shown that she is intellectualy capable of.

    Well, maybe, but everyone knows from the example you gave that there's a bigger demand for a bitch turning tricks than you, so it's unlikely you'd be given the opportunity.

    Silly? I'm a stripper, I only do flaky.

    Okay, look, all of the above was tongue in cheek. Now let me be serious.

    Here's what I was thinking, but I didn't have a good description of it until I thought further on it. If your daughter chooses to be a janitor because she's simply fascinated with janitorial work, she's not likely to stay at the usual janitor level. She's going to figure out how to apply that superb mind to what she loves in a way that's highly stimulating and lucrative for her. She'll likely rise to be the CEO of her own janitorial frachising firm with offices worldwide. In other words, her achievement will rise to meet the mental potential available to her. That's what I mean by the same brain.

    In stripping, she could decide to do it on the side for extra investment money or fulltime to make and invest enough money to buy and sell us 100 times over, then quit at 30 and start training for an entirely new career in something else. What does she put on her resume? I dunno - her net worth? You can find a plausible workaround for that with some clever planning, especially if you're embarking on a remake of yourself. Again, that's the potential of the same brain that's capable of tackling engineering.

    The difference between what Jenny said and what you said, is that you stated people including yourself would look down upon a daughter who stripped. Looking down upon her is more extreme than stating you wouldn't want her to do it. You both stated the latter; only you stated the former. Plus you described it as wasting her talents. Those are the comments that triggered my response. That and a good deal of defensiveness since this is about the third thread in which you've raised the idea I'm wasting my life but noooo, I won't take it personally. Oops, that slipped out, sorry.

    I wouldn't look down on my daughter for stripping. Because that would be stupid considering my life. And anyone who looked down on my hypothetical daughter for stripping would get no sympathy or understanding from me - they would most likely get a metaphorical kick in the teeth - which incidentally is probably pretty much what they'd get from my mum or dad for looking down on me. I am choosing not to elaborate on my reasons because they have to do with feelings, and I would feel silly telling you guys about my feelings. But I can say with emphasis that it has nothing to do with the social value of stripping.

    See interestingly, although I don't think there is anything inherently wrong in not wanting your kid (or hypothetical kid) to strip because you feel uncomfortable with knowing too much about her sexuality, or whatever (like parents know their kids have sex, but they don't want to think about it or know about it too much) but I do think it is kind of questionable to consume in an industry that you generally have such disrespect for.

    Dancer (running toward me, arms open wide): DADDY!
    Me (giving her a hug): How's my little girl?
    Dancer: I'm good, Daddy. (yada yada, probation officer, drug classes, period in two days....)
    Me: Are you being a good girl in champagne?
    Dancer: Uh huh, I'm only bad with my DADDY.

    It doesn't bother me that she dances.
