    Default Fired or turned down for being too skinny?

    The "girl at my club got fired for being fat!" thread got me thinking of this. Has anyone known of any dancer who either got fired or didn't get hired at a club because they were too skinny? The most common reason for being turned down for a dancing job is being too heavy, but I've never heard of anyone being fired or turned away for being too skinny. I've seen some very underweight girls dancing with all of their ribs showing, thighs nearly the same size as calves, etc., and I think it looks just as bad as a seriously overweight girl dancing, so I'm curious about this.

    No, never. However, I haven't been more than a few kilos underweight since my last period of AN in 2002, which is well before I even set foot inside my first strip club. Since then, I've never aimed to be much less than the low end of the healthy weight range for my height- the physical damage associated with being underweight just isn't worth it.

    I don't think I've ever seen a significantly underweight girl dancing either. Small, yes, borderline anorexic, no.

    I have to say that you can never be "too skinny" for SC. however... so many custys tell me "i don't want dances from a 12 year old boy!!! why would i get them from that???"

    Well, I've seen excessively skinny girls.. none that I know of with an ED, but definitley some tweakers and stuff.. but I've never ever seen a mgr ask them to gain weight, or take some time off to get healthy. But I've seen girls get told to take time off to lose weight.. it's a sad thing, I think, bc the chicks with weight problems on the low end of the scale aren't being told that it's unhealthy, they're thinking it's normal.
    And there are definitely some naturally thin girls, and what are you gonna do abou that.. the ones I'm talking about are obviously cracked out, you can see it in their eyes .. and behavior.

    I've never seen them fired, but I have seen them asked to try to look healthier and eat more.

    I have seen a full anorexic working the floor, it was revolting. I overheard men commenting on how revolting it was too.

    One year I returned from a combo 3wk Mardi Gras/Key West bender and my best friend took one look at me and told me I needed to eat or I'd get fired. I understood, the club has an image to uphold and that it healthy, beautiful girls. I stayed home and ate for 4 days until my ribs weren't sticking out then I went back to work.

    Too skinny looks really bad and I can understand a club firing a girl for being too skinny..........if they ever did.

    i think alot of clubs don't say shit to the tweakers because they know the girls will BE at work to make the money for the fix.

    No Ive never seen that and I believe I should have in a couple of cases.
    Theres a huge difference between naturally skinny and being dangerously skinny. I think club management should step in when someone has an obvious problem whether it be an eating disorder or drugs.

    At my old club there was a girl who was naturally very skinny, and she was probably on some drugs, and then she went and got a huge, horrible set of implants and the darkest tan a white girl can get, and it only made her look skinnier. At one point the manager put her on suspension until she gained some weight, and she came back a few weeks later maybe five pounds heavier.

    I've never seen it but I've seen a couple who should've been. There's nothing wrong with skinny but occasionally there's a girl who literally looks sick. Yeah, you could say the same about them as you could about the fat girls: "if she makes money, then who cares?" Well, same as with the fatties, guys don't go to clubs to see sickly-looking girls, so they should be fired / not hired too.

    Exactly, I've seen sick looking girls who obviously had an ED problem. I wanted to intervene, but talking to people about healthy bodyimage was my "real life" and I dont talk to strippers at work lol

    There was a girl who came to my last club to work. She was so thin, ghostly thin. You could see her skeletal frame, and her loose skin hanging over it. It was so sad..management told me that they wouldn't fire her, but she'd take the hint and leave when no one spent money on her. And that's what happned too.

    I've definitely seen some girls who make ME look heavy (and I'm just over 100lbs myself).

    It was just downright unhealthy looking and they should have been suspended until they gained some weight.

    Which is what I think they should do with heavier girls as well. Suspend them until they drop some weight. Not out and out fire them.

    I'd be surprised if anyone said "yes". I think according to the U.S. media, movies, and music videos it is impossible to be too rich or too thin. If Mary Kate Olsen (in all her anorexic glory) walked into a club in Manhattan she'd be hired on the spot. Guys from my experience are into very skinny, tiny, thin thin thin chicks. I say that not because I fit the profile, but because from my observation those sorts of girls always rake in the cash and tend to be the top earners for the night they work.

    psh, the club owners i have worked with, you can NEVER be too thin to them. one of them used to tell this girl who weighed 90 pounds soaking wet to lose weight.

    At my old club they told all the girls that needed to loose weight to loose weight but they also did something else. There is this woman and she couldn't have weighed over 90 lbs being 5'4 or taller. So she quit and I guess wanted to come back but the management supposidly told her she had to gain weight. Guys would always talk about how she was disgustingly skinny and what not.

    I've seen girls so thin they looked like corpses. Corgan was right- the tweakers have very regular work attendance.

    I agree; this has been my observation as well. But unlike most of the opinions in this thread, I am of the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" mentality. Say what you want, at every club I've worked it's always always always been the uber-tiny girls banking consistently...even when no one else is. I can't chalk it up to a superior personality or better work ethic or amazing hustle --I've got plenty of that and so do many other girls I've worked with. The only thing they have that I don't is the body. The only girls that I've seen being able to keep up with the really tiny girls are the foreign girls...but then, most of them were uber-tiny too.

    But I'll shut up now; I know this sort of sentiment's not really PC.

    Ha-ha Not in my club. I'm about the third thinnest, (but healthy) in my club and it's not the case always. The custies LOVE meat and booty at my club:-)
