    Default I miss dancing

    Hi guys, I quit dancing about 3 months ago. I went on to be a flight attendant and enjoy it but apart of me misses dancing especially because the lifestyle of a flight attendant is so strict. Do any of you girls who quit dancing miss it after quiting. It's almost like being on that stage gives you some empowerment or something ?

    My mom quit dancing 7 years ago and still talks about missing it almost every day. She loved being in charge of when she worked and how much she made.

    I worked in Rosemont, Ill, for several years and it always seemed the FAs on layover (Rosemont is awash with hotels serving the airport) were having a super time at the hotel pool or hotel bar. (I'd visit the hotels after my deadline, usually on Thursday nights.)

    As there are a handful of SCs within a few minutes of O'Hare, I suspect at least some of these ladies visited them (to work or play). At least, I HOPE they did.

    I miss the hell out of stripping & can't wait to get back to it. I will never complain about stripping again!

    Yes, Chicagoeditor, it's supposedly great to get long overnights. With the company policy though we aren't allowed to have a drink within 12 hours of flying. So, that means if say you get to ORD at 7pm in the evening and you have to fly at 7am in the morning then you can't have a drink that evening. We are only allowed by law to fly 8 hours a day but that doesn't mean we aren't on the ground for four hours extra in between flights. Most days are 12 hours long days and the one day so far I had an overnight I was so exhausted all I wanted to do was crash and burn. And ground school (training) is very much like military school. So, all those wild feelings are bottled up and ready to come out

    Hell. They're strict! That's not at all the rule in publishing/journalism.

    Green, you must let me know when you're back at ORD. Those were my stomping grounds, as I mentioned. I know every dive and bad place to eat within a 2 mile radius. Or we can just go to Scores.

    I've had a "real" job for 7 yrs that I went to college for. I just recently started dancing a little over 3 months ago to help me out with paying off debt and to save up money. I like dancing so much that I'm seriously thinking about leaving my "real" job. I make so much more money and the first time in my life I have a job that I get more respect in. Yes, more respect in, isn't that sad that I have to take my clothes off in a provocavtive way to get more respect in than the job I went to college for that's a professional type of job-healthcare job. If anyone would have told me that I would never have believed them. I think I"ll be dancing for a lot longer than I originally planned for.

    Yes, I definetely miss it. Trying to find other ways to cure my itch for now. My life isn't in a place for me to strip right now. Maybe someday I will again, but not now.

    I've generally found that missing dancing is a lot better than actually dancing. Usually within a month of returning to dancing after being away I think "My God, I actually missed this??" And this is from someone who truly does (did?) appreciate the job. My mind is a great editor and indulges in memories of the money, the free time, and the busy nights of being wildly adored while strutting around on stage. These are the things I will miss the rest of my life, but is that the full reality of stripping? No. There's the draining customers, late nights, crappy management, smoke, dressing room drama, unstable income, and sore knees and feet too. I remember the anxiety I would feel as the night came on and I had to leave for work, and the crusty headachey exhaustion I would feel the next morning. I don't miss those parts at all.

    ^^^ I agree. I miss what you do, but if I had the choice, I'd probably only do it for a short time before I stopped again.

    I stopped for about half a year a while ago. I missed it so much! I'd think about it all the time and whenever I saw something on tv or in a movie that was stripper-related, I'd have flashbacks. Ugh, and issues with money were so much harder! I eventually ended up breaking up with the guy who I'd stopped for (he didn't make me... It just kinda worked out that way). I'm so glad I started again!

    I miss it.... the liberal viewpoints of the other girls, dancing on stage, the flexibility of the hours, being able to support myself with half the money I make, etc.

    I now have developed an aversion to my boobs being touched.....I get jumpy when my boyfriend touches them sometimes. I hope this will pass. I guess I don't miss the groping aspect of the job....

    Hmmm....my flight attendant friend tells me some stories, and they get pretty wild AND drunk all the time, including pilots, pre-flight...scary.

    It is human nature to find the grass on the other side of the fence to be greener.

    Whenever you think something might be better than what you have, try to remember the negative parts. That usually helps put things in perspective.

No, my stripclub experience has been about acceptance, and affirmation, and desirability...There have been some women who have a personality that just clicks with mine, and in the faux-sex atmosphere of the club, it's a mix that is completely seductive." - Jay Zeno

    Yes, I have missed dancing. It does somehow feel empowering. Everyone (mom/sister/friends) always told me to quit. They said that if I got a real job and a nice guy that I would be happy. Well, I have had several jobs and several men, and I don't think I have ever been more unhappy. Deepak Chopra says you find happiness and wealth when you do what you love and serve mankind. I believe I must be here to serve mankind. Cause that's what made me happy.

    Oh man, I'm with you on this one. Erotic housecleaning is quickly losing its appeal, because my regular clients are all either fawning over me in idiotic ways that don't improve my life (you know, a dozen roses are nice, but I'd rather have the cash, thanks), or asking me to do stupid chores that I hate (like helping go through the junk in the attic. Gah. That's what I get for being so efficient that the house gets clean after 1 hour of a 3 hour appointment.) Having done "private entertainment" (so to speak) now, I've come to appreciate the boundaries that the club enforces. There's no room for delusions like I-came-to-your-house-because-I-actually-like-you.

    I want to start stripping again soon, maybe this weekend. I miss having something to do at night, honestly. And I miss the money, of course.

    I don't know why so many girls think having a "traditional" job is preferable to dancing. It's not what one does, but how one does it. What ever makes the most money with the most independence and freedom is the path most people should take.

    Working for someone in a paycheck job is pure bullshit. The problem is, the vast majority of dancers are not able to work in a flexible job, put in the amount of hours, and work as hard while at the club as they do in a paycheck job where the boss is breathing down their neck.

    Because if these dancers could avoid having boyfriends who are jealous, insecure, and worried about what their family and friends will say if they found out their girlfriends danced, work as many hours every week as they did in an office job, and work as hard at selling dances as they do making sales in a paycheck job, many could learn to become independently wealthy and NEVER have to work for anyone again.

    It's too bad that these girls let family and friends convince them that ther is such a thing as a "good" job. I have never met a wealthy person who worked in a job. Have you?

    I agree with you Tina. I just think the job is more suited for some individuals than others. My situation was that my husband and I separated and I moved away and the enviroment wasn't good for me to work full-time in. I decided to do something that would allow me to travel and still meet new people. I chose to be a flight attendant. I needed to move back close to home for the support of my family through the separation and refuse to dance in my home town. I'd like to go back and visit to make some extra money as well as visit friends but I am sure my ex has a new girl at the club he is seeing as he has given me money to keep me from coming back. However, I will probably still go for a visit when I get a few days off to get my hair done because I haven't found a new stylist yet plus to see some friends. I haven't decided whether I'd dance or not but I am definately not going to let him stop me from enjoying myself.

    I think dancing is a great way for a woman to make herself independent as long as her body and health holds up. Then like you said she can retire after a few years of it. It, unfornuately takes someone smarter and stronger than me to do it.
