    Default 32 years old --- too old to strip?

    I've always wanted to be a stripper, but never had the courage to do so. Now, I'm hoping I'm not too old!

    I'm 32 years old. I'm returning to school and a lot of people say I look like an undergraduate, but I can tell a bit in my face. I'm in pretty good shape, though, and working on better shape. What can I do with makeup, if anything, to make myself look younger?

    Are there techniques I can learn (pole dancing or something) that will make me valuable and overcome the difficulties caused by age? What kind of clubs might be friendly to someone like me?

    I'm in California, shuttling between San Diego and San Francisco. This summer, I'll be in London. I guess these are pretty bad places to try because the girls are likely to be very, very good looking. It's possible for me to relocate for a brief period to try this out. What might be good places, in the US or abroad, for me to give it a shot? I have a friend who stripped in Melbourne and said they were pretty forgiving---but she's 21 and might not appreciate the difficulties of older dancers as much?

    Any other suggestions for people like me?

    Age isnt a problem if you have a good look and a good personality. Some of the BEST dancers I know are in the 35-45 range, and some even older than that!! Also, there are so many guys who love older dancers. Enough to keep a lot of older dancers in business. Doll yourself up in a way that suits you, and go for it!

    I bet the top earners at any club are in their late 20s-early 30s

    Your biggest obstacle is yourself.

    I agree with above, with the caveat that most of those top-earning girls started when they were younger and so have developed their skills. Also, I think it could be harder for some older ladies to start new and really get into it. It's definitely a young woman's game!

    That said, don't let any of what I just said stop you. Your biggest obstacle is yourself as Emily says. And no, 32 is NOT too old!!!

    Don't worry about being 32 if you are working in London provided you are in decent shape. Lots of girls are older than this and some continue well into their 40s. Look in Mypole www.mypole.co.uk in the articles section and there is quite a lot of info, some of it written by me.

    Thanks, everyone, for your encouragement. I'm going to get myself waxed and pedicured and head out there this weekend to see if I can get started. Wish me luck! If anyone has any suggestions for San Francisco Bay Area clubs that might be a good place to start (to narrow down the huge list I found by Googling), please let me know. Maybe a "divier" place that might be a bit less intimidating for my first time?

    Also, Tyke, do you know what kind of authorization I might need to work in London? Are they very strict about papers?

    If you work at a smaller more neighborhood type club as opposed to the 100+ girl clubs, I've noticed personality and attitude make a much bigger difference than looks. Have seen women far beyond the low 30 age range making bank and from personal experience I enjoyed working with the "Mature" dancers a hella alot more than the young,hot but annoyingly arrogant and bitchy. Go for it!!

    In the old days nobody worried about papers but these days I think most of the decent clubs will ask about visas etc. There are lots of stories about Eastern European " sex slaves" and under age dancers and most pubs/clubs are more careful now worried about their licence. You could ask some of the places eg www.whitehorsepub.biz or say the Entertease or Promises agency what they require. There are also lots of private parties which don't need any papers but these will involve a fair degree of contact.

    my ex-sis in law (still close with the girl, my brother is a dick) just got started out in dancing too, and funnily enough shes 32. Im sure you'll do fine, granted shes a bit younger looking, but shes doing very well at the local club. Just make sure you practice in those big ol scary heels. Ive gone down more than once, so be careful and good luck girly!

    Thanks again for the encouragement, all!

    I'm properly waxed and pedicured.

    I'll ask this in a separate thread too, but what kind of stuff should I bring with me for my first visit to a club? Just wear nice lingerie in case they want me to audition right then? A full costume? Stripper heels?

    it may be a good idea to call the club and see what they want. Some are strict with what the girls wear etc. Or you can go with a friend to visit the club just to get a feel for it.

    Good luck to you!And no,32 is not too old.I've seen women in their mid 50's dancing and making fabulous regulars and money.It will depend a lot on your looks and definitely personality.

    I started when I was 32. I'll be 35 in July. A good portion of girls at our place are 28 +

    That's right.I know it might be hard to believe,but there are some women that age who are dancers and look unbelievable.That's not a usual thing to see,but you will run into them from time to time.

    I've met one woman in a club in Philly who was 54 and she's been in the business for something like 25 years.She had a body of a woman in her 20's.
    Another one I met in AZ.This woman was 56,from CA and she started dancing at 37 after getting a divorce and turning her life aroud..She looked unbelievable,like an athlete.These both women had guys lined up to get dances from them and were doing very well.

    So basically the point is that it doesn't matter how old you are,but what matters is how well you look and how well you can deal with customers.
    So sunshine,if you can handle it,go for it!
    Good luck!
