    Default Is 43 Too Old To Strip?

    I'm a 43 year old who is going through divorce. I've always wanted to dance but have always tried to be the "goood girl" and it has gotten me nowhere...a cheating husband and fifteen lost years.
    I have two kids to support and want to fulfill my life-long fantasy of dancing. I'm tired of working so hard at regular jobs just to be broke and exhausted and not get to spend time with my kids.
    My question is,am I too old? Will I be considered a joke out there? My ego is bashed enough right now but want to try...am planning to go to amatuer night at a really nice club this sunday.
    This will be a first for me,have done lingerie modeling when I was younger,but people have always considered me a "dirty dancer" whenever i was out clubbing and I get into a zone. I'm just scared of looking like an idiot...don't think I could take that after all I've just been through. I do not look my age...but it IS a reality. Please help! I want to go to amatuer night...think I have to just to fulfill a fantasy...but it's so scary...don't want to be rejected.

    I have a friend who started at 38 (she only danced a year or two) and is/was hot as HELL. She's 41 now and there is no way she's too old to strip. She's hot, period. Show us some pics of yourself and we'll be honest. Sunday's amateur night should be revealing as well.

    I agree with you, 43 is really pushing it.

    Okay now you guys are being kind of harsh.. I'm 44, then again I've been at it for a while. If she has a good body, why not? I would seriously say we older women can and do give you younger girls a run for your money. Literaly.

    It really depends on your body. Slip some pics of your hips and your belly. That tells everything.

    If there is any 'insurmountable' problem, it is likely to come from the 'inside' rather than the outside. Despite how fantastic you might look, and despite how great a shape you might be in (i.e. workouts), for a fact dancing takes a lot of physical endurance. At age 43, those 'aches and pains' after a night of dancing are going to be very hard to shrug off by the following night. However. if you 'pace yourself' and don't attempt more than a couple of nights of dancing in a row, it might work out.

    I dont think 43 is to old. I've seen a lot of 'older' women in SC's dancing and making tones of money. It just depends on how good your hustle is what kind of club your in and how sexy you can be. Hey a lot of younger guys will think they're scoring with a 'couger' or MILF. I say go for it and give it your all... after all thats what amature night is for And you know what I wish you the best of luck... kick some ass girl!

    I do not think there its a number that says too hold personally.

    I've seen 23 year olds that look 40 , and no one tells them they are too old to dance . But someone should tell them to lay off the booze and chain smoking

    I've danced along side a 52 year old woman who could make you feel , at 18 OLD. lol she was amazing and so was her body. she took excellent care of herself.

    There is always someone for everyone out there.. PERIOD. Fuck age. if it all still is where god intended it to be ( or around that same area ) I say go for it!

    Yes -- it's too old, and No -- it's not too old at all.

    Seriously depends on how you look! I have a friend who's 43 and looks 29, I mean, absolutely seriously -- if I were a bartender I'd frickin' card her.

    Re: health, my partner is of a similar age (and looks roughly his age) but hasn't actually started "slowing down" physically at all, and I know some others in HIS category, too. So . . . Eh!

    It seriously depends on what you look like, what you feel like, and who you are.

    It's like asking whether a 15-year-old can go to college. Most of 'em don't, but I sure did at that age! Others do! In fact, I knew a 12-year-old at the same school, getting her vet tech degree. Had a HELL of a time trying to get EMPLOYED, though . . .

    Go do it, remember to dance sloooooooow and rotate your hips (going too fast broke a couple of auditions for me until people told me the secret) and if they turn you down at the amateur night, go to the gym and try another club.

    You can always post a full body and head pic here and see what score you get. And dont worry about how you dance, as long as you are not clucking like a chicken on stage you'll look OK to most guys.

    Come on now...we've shown our racism in some post, our sexism in others, and now it's ageism?????

    I say, if she wants to, let her do it. Post some pics of yourself...you have to honestly be 'hot' or have some aspect of yourself that is attractive..but honestly, I've seen some dancers that look like crack whores and can't dance worth a shit and they still make money..so it is all in the eye of the beholder, babes.
    I know some 40 year olds that would blow all you 20 year olds out of the water..not only in dance skills, put pole work, and body...hell, look at DEMI MOORE...she is no dancer, but the woman is hot, and tight..and OVER 40!!!
    Don't judge...we have enough people judging US for who and what they think WE ARE.
    I say, go for it. If you get turned down, you get turned down, but at least you can say you tried.

    Cmon, some of you are nuts.

    43 is NOT too old, but it depends on your looks.

    Don't tell me you've never seen a hot 40-something chick. I see em all the time.

    If you're hot, you're hot. I don't care if you're 43 or 23.

    However, before we deal with YOUR situation, we'd need to see a pic. It's not the age, it's the mileage.

    43 may be too old and may not, it depends on where you audition. sure, the manager there is going to stereotype you because of your age. be prepared for that. at my club, there is one woman who is in her late thirties and she only does the topless side...she does make good money but she doesn't make nearly as much as the younger girls.
    just giving my 2 cents.

    43 Is just a number. If you look younger go for it! Dont tell the others your age.(they will use it against you) I have seen plenty older than you that can really BANK!

    I'd have to agree w/Mel. about the stamina part. Strictly based on age, you may look great, but as she pointed out, it's very physically (& mentally) draining. Definately don't work more than a couple shifts a week. Why not check out a couple clubs (as a custy) w/a male friend before trying amateur night. Btw, so sorry to hear of your situation, that's rough. If the dancing doesnt work out, you could try cocktail waitressing maybe?

    I say go for it, as long as you have the self confidence it really doesn't matter. And if you look decent give it a shot, or at least do it just because it's a dream that you've had! It's always good to accomplish things you want to do! If you are worried about doing that then maybe you could take a pole dancing class and you sorta get the same thing from it and then you could get on stage if you want!
    Good luck, i think you'll do fine, as long as you believe in yourself! Guys like all types of women.

    Thumbs up Re: Is 43 Too Old To Strip?

    Too Old? No.

    Dancing is a "fantasy" for men. If you give men that fantasy when your at the club then you should be fine.

    I think people say 43 is too old because they think of the average woman..say Rosanne Barr or Seventh Heaven mom type. If you are NOT the "average" 43 year old woman you should not have a problem. Besides...It's not like you would walk up to every customer and say "Hi baby" "I'm 43" "Wanna Dance?"

    You stated you don't look 43..so use the age you think you look if asked. I'm 34 today and I have kids..lots of them..lol Some people would say I shouldn't be dancing because of that number alone. I still look the same as I did yesterday! I have seen 20 year olds look older than myself because of lifestyle. Dancing income is not ALL based on looks..it's hustle too. If you read the boards you will see that.

    I think I read somewhere on stripperweb that 40 is the new 30 these days.
    That fact is there will always be someone saying that someone should not be dancing because they are too flat chested, fat, skinny, cellulite, stretchmarks, or too tall or short , old or whatever.

    I have had issues with very fat women dancing but in reality it's not for me to judge it's up to the men in the club. Men love all types of women. Many men at the clubs are at least 55 and I have found that not all men are into an 18 year old girl because they don't have much in common to talk about. Men go to strip clubs for T&A and companionship. You will find women from 18 to even 50 dancing on any given day in every type of club in the USA. Who you are outside the club is not who you are inside the club.

    As far as being rejected . lol... Ask any girl on this board if shes been rejected in a club. It would be 100% of us. It's part of the job. You may wan't to work out if you already don't for stamina. I think a lot of us do that anyways. Dancing is hard on a body even if your 18. Plus..even 18 year olds get turned down at clubs...just keep auditioning if that happens. As far as your personal situation..I'm sorry and that's terrible!. As far as cheating spouses go..well I have dealt with that this year and many others on this board. Men can really SUCK the life out of a gal! You have to get up and brush yourself off hun!

    I applaud you for even considering dancing. It may not mean that you have a looong career in dancing but the $$$$ could pull you out of some hard times.

    Good Luck

    I think you should go for it. I know lots of guys that like a sexy older woman. Be easy on your body tho, don't try to go all out with stage work if you aren't physically ready for it.

    Be prepared for a lot of rude questions if you do start dancing. I am 36. I am always hearing things along the lines of "how old are you, really??" "why are you still doing this (because I love it, dumbass!)" "why don't you go to college and make something of yourself?" etc. You will have to have a pretty tough skin, but that is true no mater how old you are. When I was 26, I got different mean, rude questions. Just be ready for it, that's all.

    We have a dancer at the club I work at who has been dancing less then 6 months and she is 45 or 46. She looks pretty good, but her sense of style is a little dated. She would look a lot younger if she updated her look.

    I plan to be dancing into my 40s. I'll be 36 in November. I am doing what I can now to keep the clock from going too fast. Eating right, exersize, not too much tanning, and I'm planning my plastic surgery calandar. Since I dance in air dance clubs I use all over body makeup, to make my skin look more flawless. Usually the girls have no clue that I'm in my mid thirties, and the lighting in the clubs is very flattering as well.

    Yes, my beauty routines are a lot higher maintience then the younger dancers, but it does pay off.

    Here is a website dedicated to over 40 hotties. I think some of the women on here would do just fine as a dancer and others would have a hard time getting a job at any but the diveyist (is that a word?) clubs.

    http://www.sexy40plus.com/

    I work in sales at a strip-o-gram agency, and get requests all the time for older dancers. The older guys don't want an 18 year old stripper, they want someone they can relate to. There is also a lot of requests for "Old Lady" or "Bag Lady" and the same for the guys "Old Man" and "Hobo" costumes for strip-o-gram. I think a very youthful dancer can't pull off this stunt convincingly. Just like an older dancer looks ridiculous wearing a school girl costume.

    Anyhow, from and older dancer, I say give it a go!
