    Default "Soo Why'd ya get into Stripping.."

    I began stripping recently and I keep getting the same question over and over again, "So, Why'd you start stripping?" from the customers. I see this question as an oppertunity to gain some ground with them, but I am not sure of the best way to answer it so that it is in my financial favor...should I be brutally honest and say "for the money, sweetie, teeheehee" or should I dare to BS them and say its for fun or to meet awesome guys? Should my response vary from guy to guy? Hmmm.

    I usually say that I love to dance... But that it also works really well with my school schedule (which is true)... Where else can you make enough $$ without having to work a full work week. Plus... I tell them that I enjoy having flexible hours cause I have a lot on my plate. Which helps give me an out for the dating questions...

    I tell them that I went to an all Woman's College (which I did) and that that should answer their question.. They get a kick out of it and it's pretty much true.
    Please don't lick me, it tickles..

    i quit my job bartending.. the night i decided to leave the bar i was working at, i met two dancers as i was walking out the door.. they told me to come down to the bar they were working at to try it out, because it was only a bikini bar and i wouldn't have to get totally naked or even take my top off...... i then decided to try it out for a little while until i could pay my rent.. i ended up loving it, and from there continued on to a few other bigger establishments.... but be careful and dont make the mistake of some of the other girls i have met in this business. a lot of them rely solely on their dancing, and have no backup plan for when they are done... with all the money some of them have spent on material things, they could have had their education paid for by now...... just food for thought...

    I tell them the truth: I have a career where I work very hard, and I always wanted to dance because it seemed like fun and a good way to pay off my debt more quickly. It was even more fun than I thought, and I dance on the weekends because I can get paid for having a great time. When it stops being fun, I will quit. But I'm only young once so I might as well do what I feel like doing!

    They tend to like that answer, and it really is the truth.

    "'Cause I wanted your money, honey."

    They really don't want to hear the sob story about my family woe and unfair debt. That'll kill a hard-on like a zap of Raid.

    you might not want to say you're dancing because you want to meet awesome guys, because that will get them thinking you're available for some OTC action: "Uh, I'm an awesome guy, you should give me your phone number."

    I've gotten the best reactions so far when I answer that I do it because dancing is oh so fun!

    Honestly, it seems like guys want a 'canned' answer when they ask this. In reality, they don't really give a shit as long as you are shaking your ass and tits in their face. This is their attempt at seeming 'caring'. I just make something up that would fit into their stereotype...like
    "I'm working my way through college"
    "My husband dared me..so I did"
    "I'm supporting my cocaine habit" (this makes them laugh)
    etc...
    They really don't care, so what's the point of telling them the truth and killing their fantasy?

    ^ Thank you. It was so hard for me to get used to the callousness of PLs. I just picture a pineapple grenade going off on their heads. LOL "Why are you smiling, sweetcheeks?"

    Maxine I like your response ("Cause I want your money Honey") LOL - I'm so going to use that tonight. I tend to give them a short answer as well - about college or supporting myself. I agree that generally guys don't REALLY want to know (however - some do..)

    I'm a lazy person so if I didn't do this I would end up fat.

    Nah.. I usually steer the conversation back to where it should be.. "All you need to know is that I'm here and I want to give you the best dance I possibly can right now" *naughty grin*

    Good quote. I'll have to try that. For now, I usually just mention school/$$$/schedule.

    When me and my bestfriend were like 16yrs old we were very curiouse because one night we were stuck without a ride home, so we bummed a ride off this girl we didnt know. She was driving this phatt Benz, and she was only 18yrs old. We asked her, "what, did your parents buy you this ride?" She told us how she danced and how much money she made in one night. We liked what we were hearing. So, years later.. we ended up dancing because we were so curiouse of how easy the money was to be made compared to a regular job.

    I usually answer this question kinda smart assed, but cute at the same time.

    -Well, if you were a pretty gril who is also sexually attracted to men wouldn't you dance?
    -I kept getting kicked out of bars for taking off my clothes, so I figured I had a calling.
    -I come from a long and venerable family tradition of dancing naked
    -I lost my shirt in the stock market crash of 2001, so my work options seemed obvious: toppless dancer!

    Or, if the customer really wants to hear a sob story, I give him one. I usually just come up with something off the cuff, but my fav is one where I'm a runaway from some sort of trouble (mob, religous cult, abusive boyfriend/husband, or motorcycle gang). I try to make my "sob" story very colorful and entertaining. You all know the type of guy "the rescuer", so he feels good about spending on me, and his delusions that the dancer is just doing it because she is out of options really appeals to him. Hey, whatever it takes to make him feel okay about getting a hard on for $$$ .

    I tell the truth, which for me is that I absolutely love it. I have been involved in all aspects of adult entertainment, from full-contact in porn and brothels to no contact in peep shows and theatres. Erotic burlesque is my fav, but i also just love to strip.

    That answer blows guys out of the water. They expect lies and the truth is a nice change...

    if your truth is that you only do it for money, then make it sound enticing to that particular man. If he's the needy guy who will put you through school, sob it up! But if you get any enjoyment out of it, play on that, too. I mean, don't you get turned on by seeing your own hot body twisting and turning in all those sex-poses when you're on stage, or even when you are at home dancing alone?

    Perhaps I am just a hopeless pervert!

    Geisha-
    You are not a perv..you are a realist.
    In fact, I think all strippers are realists. The reality is that money makes the world go around. If we can't use what we got to make money, then what else can we do? Some people use their brains and get paid, some people use their skills, and the smart ones, the ones who HAVE...use their bodies and their brains combined with skills to make mad dough.
    We are the latter.

    Thank you! I'vebeen waiting for that affirmation forever... From my ex it was just that i was too weak/helpless/stupid/needy to do anything else and wasn't I ashamed of how i would explain all that to my kids one day????? to my family it was silence followed by disownership. to my friends it's 'hey can you get us in for free'... but no one ever told me i was strong or smart for it, even though I have always felt strong and smart and sexy when I'm doing my thing.

    "Cause it was my childhood dream!"

    Just kidding...

    My answer to this was usually something along the lines of it being about the only legal job where I could make my own hours, listen to great music, run around naked or in outrageous clothes, and get a free workout in the process...

    I was always amazed by the number of "Maybe I (the customer) am in the wrong profession" replies.

    I usually tell them the truth which in a nutshell is that one of my friends danced in high school and loved it, I was the fat chick that got picked on, I lost 65 pounds after graduation and decided that I was hot enough to dance too and so I did. I think that guys who ask that question and either are genuinely interested or are pretending to be interested are worth the breath in either telling the truth or making something colorful up because if they are interested that = a potential regular and so you want to do everything you can to keep them interested and keep them spending! A short answer really isn't the way to go unless you know they don't have any money and if they don't why are you talking to them in the first place?
    In a black light trance, then go go dance...

    I never thought of that! It is soo true for me too as I'm Bi-Curious ... so I do have tendancies to want to be with women however I've never actually had a 'girlfriend' or a full on sexual experience with women. I am a hopeless perve
