    My questions are not intended to be loaded, maybe if I explain my point of view that would help.

    I have no problem with stripping. I think it is just as respectable as any other occupation. EVERY single job in existence involves using your assets to support yourself, stripping is no different. Your personality, your knowledge, your talents, your BODY are all the same thing. They are simply attributes of the person that you are. Therefore, exotic dancing is the EXACT same thing as working in a court room. People are paying you for your services. If I ever visit a strip club, and I plan on doing it as soon as Faithe is comfortable around her coworkers, I will not view the dancers as simply objects for my pleasure. I see the SERVICES they are providing as objects for pleasure. The person providing the services is a human being making a living just like everyone else. And I will tip accordingly just as I would tip a waitress or any other job where tips are vital to the job.

    2. Shouldn't this thread be moved to Customer Conversation?
    I'm not a customer. And discussing the customer's point of view or experience is not the purpose of this thread.

    What about his feelings? What about his side of the relationship? It seems kind of cold to simply tell him to get over it.

    No, I LOVE my job and I don't feel that I'm disrespecting myself at all because I'm not (-:
    Alot of people don't know how to change their perspective like you, they're trapped in their culture.

    It looks like most of the posters on here are more open minded than the norm. Although perhaps a bit sensitive to questions such as mine because. Maybe because of previous posters just looking to argue? I don't know, please enlighten me.

    I'm lucky, I've never had to deal with that - everyone I know is supportive of what I do and / or digs it!
    I dig it =)


    If I met someone who told me that I'm sure I could make them eat their words. F**K off does spring to mind though, lol!
    I expect this is likely the only thing you can do, taking the time to explain everything to everyone would take forever and would just be a waste of your time.

    Because I am sexual and erotic this is somehow wrong by religious standards?
    I think for it to be okay according to religious standards, you would have to marry every customer and then dance for them in private lol

    Dancers post here. Why would you ask them if they feel all right about dancing?

    Sure there are negative things and concerns. But they do it.

    There are negative things in most any job. If your friends have misgivings about her choice, you either have something specific to ask about or you can talk to your friends or just leave it to them.

    You see, it's a personal choice. Best not to get in the middle.
    I loved going to strip clubs; I actually made some friends there. Now things are different for the clubs and for me. As a result I am not as happy.

    Customers are not entitled to grope, disrespect, or rob strippers. This is their job, not their hobby, and they all need income. Clubs are not just some erotic show for guys to view while drinking.

    NOTE: anything I post here, outside of a direct quote, is my opinion only, which I am entitled to. Take it for what you estimate it is worth.

    I smell troll, anyways:

    No disprespect but if you'r initial story about this being a 'friend' is true, he is just looking for an excuse to dump her... because he's gay. Straight men, including metrosexuals, don't bring shit like this up with friends.

    case closed.

    So the dancers are actually the customers and the visitors are the ones providing the services. Is this a widely held perspective? I would like to know more about this mentality.
    Huh ? Nothing I wrote indicated that was the situation.

    You asked if we found it offensive when we have a customer who does not tip at all but is also very respectful and pleasant. I answered yes and added that if a customer can't be pleasant, respectful and tip then they shouldn't be in the club.

    By the way tipping is part of being a respectful customer. No tip for stage shows equals a rude and disrespectful customer.

    Stripping is a cop-out? Please.

    It's a very tough job with a great many occupational hazards, to say nothing of the social ostricization and exile many girls suffer from friends and family, nevermind from insecure boyfriends/husbands and civilian women more broadly.
    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    Manipulation is an evil shortcut for the selfish and impatient person that carries with it a lot of bad Karma. And yes, I agree we all do it. Everyone lies too.

    Don't forget the reverse example.... how a two year old will cry and throw tantrums to upset Mommy and Daddy so that he or she can get whatever it is they want. We learn early. It's torture to resist a crying child's manipulations.

    i don't mean to be harsh or anything.......maybe he's not the right guy for her then.
    If this guy is you(and not your friend) then why do you pretend to be supportive and pretend it doesn't bother you?? Then you judge her and put her down because of her job?? Would that make you a hypicrit???a liar?? A phoney??


    i believe those are the true questions you should be asking yourself.

    Personally, that's what would bother me about it. If someone sees people as means to an end, how do you know where they draw the line? Not that I can't realte. I've worked sales jobs with customers who just want to chat. Some of them I liked, but it was largely annoying.
