    Default living with other dancers - bad idea?

    One of my housemates is moving out, and this girl from work who I think is pretty awesome might take her place. My other housemate (also awesome) is really intersted in working at the club that I work at. I'm just worried that's going to be too many (ie, three) strippers in one domicile. We really need a third person, and I can't exactly stop my housemate from auditioning. And I think she'd probably be good at it.

    I kind of like coming home to a totally separate space, but I can adapt, and they are both cool girls, drama free & mellow. But still....

    As long as they are cool (and you all get along) I wouldnt see the problem. Whenever you live with other girls, no matter what the occupations....there will occassionally be drama. SOMEONE will have PMS and take it out on the others, etc.... At least if they are strippers too, you can all vent together, and you will all be (hopefully) more tolerant of each others crazy schedules, double wardrobes, aches and pains, and all the other out-of-the-ordinary things that come with being a dancer!
    People always ask me, did I ever learn anything when I was a stripper? Yeah, I did. One man plus two beers equals 20 dollars.

    There are a couple of girls at work who live together... I'm not their best friend or anything so I couldn't say for sure... but they seem to get a long just fine... You're taking a risk, of course... Just think carefully about who she is.

    Work would definately become a... more integrated part of your life, absolutely. But, that might be a good thing and get you to go in more often.

    yah, if you know for sure they are cool girls, mellow and not into looking for drama then it will probably work out just fine, and if you've been living with two otehr girls so far, then you allready know about the bs thats come from just having a group of girls in one place; ie, boyfriends, cleanliness, etc....

    I think the one thing that might be hard about it is when the negetivity sets in...you know, one girl has a really bad night, or is down in thedumps on a bad week, and another girl is having a killer week, then things might get a little tricky...so you might want to make a pact to not talk money together or something...

    if nothing else, you'll all probably be working the 'club' shift ... which in itself will eliminate a major potential source of drama versus a roommate who must work 8-5 and won't appreciate lights, noise, and activity when you come home from the club at 3AM.

    it can work if you are all grown up enuogh to respect each other's space and "the rules" that you have all agreed upon up-front ....... personally, I would never ever move in with a dancer unless I really really knew her... even then I've seen plenty of friendships ruined due to friends thinking "a mate" would make a perfect "flatmate" yet ended up finding out the "mate" is great as a "mate" only.

    I lived with two other dancers once. It was a nightmare! But I don't think that' the rule of thumb. It's not impossible for it to work out.

    Sometimes, just sometimes, dancing can turn a normal girl into a raving psychotic manipulative wench who doesnt pay her bills and does meth. haha Thats my experience, hopefully not a likely outcome.

    I would recommend to NEVER talk about how much money you made that night or if you had a good night or bad night. YOu guys should all agree to never discuss that because that in itself could cause some big problems with jealousy. But, if everyone's responsible, pays the bills on time, doesn't cause drama and keeps the topic of how much money out of it, I think everything should be fine. At least you'd all understand what you're all going through and can relate to the hours, the annoying men, the achy body, etc.

    Highly agree. Different shifts. We all know that happens, change of clubs, i.e. longer driving etc. all can upset others who are already asleep. While others may be waking up for the day.

    IMO...it's a bad idea.

    Honestly, I lived with another dancer. It was great. We did have our arguements, but I would have to say, that year was my best money making year dancing. We motavated one another. I guess it all depends one who it is also. My personal rule is, I wouldnt share a place with a straight chic... I noticed they are very competitive with me instead of my partner in crime. I stick with living with my bi-sexual/lesbian women. --they dont compete with me-- no pointless drama. (but thats just my experience) : )

    I lived with two other dancers -- both of whom I met before any of us became dancers -- and it was great. We all understood one another. We talked pretty freely about the money we made because we were mature and empathetic.

    I would totally do it again. I don't know about a girl I'd met at work, though -- I've never met a girl at work I liked enough to want to live with.

    I would have loved to have a roomies who were dancers. To talk strategy with, travel with, etc. If we did work together, I probably wouldn't work the same night as her more than once a week to have some away time. I've always thought it would be great to live with people who understand the industry and have experience in it, who I can talk to about work, clients, etc and actually have them get it.

    I've had both bad and good experiences living with other dancers. If you already work with them you can check out thier personal hygiene first

    My roommate's a stripper too-though I've known her for 10 years and actually got her into dancing We've had no real problems or conflicts to speak of, except sometimes on days we're both working, who showers first can be an issue..lol. It all depends on the girl, and if you think she's cool than why not? You can always kick her out if need be.
