    i get this question alot and they mean what do you do in your spare time. i'm pretty vague with my answer. just say you're too busy between work and school to have much of a social life.

    no they dont. when i say what does it look? like they say "oh this is your only job? no school?" something like that. they dont mean in my spare time when i get this question. no one's ever said that. i've never even heard someone say what do you do and mean in their free time...

    then they're stupid. whenever i get this question they always mean what do i do when i'm not at work. even when i give them a look like "what do you mean?" they then say "what do you do when you're not at work?"

    oh you mean like people thinking that this is jus a "side job". yeah thats very annoying. if they ask, "so this is the ONLY job u have? uve got to be kidding"!

    its like no duh asshole it pays all my rent and bills and THEN SOME!

    its either guys think we dont get paid well at all, or that we make thousands of dollars each night. ha!

    usually when guys ask me if i do anything else like im stupid, i jus reply "nope my only job and i LOVE IT! i make my own scheudle and im my own boss and SLEEP IN!" and giggle it off. and then take their money

    I hated it too, then I made some shit up: "I work teaching little kids how to ice skate!" Custys LOVED that, then I'd just bs about that for a little, even being like "yea, I didn't learn how to skate till later on when I was 15!"

    These kinds of convos do not need to last forever if you have a good enough answer like that. I've never gotten "what ELSE do you do BESIDES THAT!" Because it's a good enuf topic to segue into other shit, and then dance after that bs...yay

    I don't hold it so against them. It's a way of making conversation, and maybe somehow to impress you enuf that they know you are a Real Girl, or maybe a way to see how much of their fantasy girl we really are. I'm not talking about condescending pricks of course, and tho even just simply asking that can sound condescending, I don't think most mean it that way.

    I never get that wording exactly, they either say what do you do on your days off or do you do anything else.

    I hate when they say whats a "nice" or "smart" ect ect girl like you doing here....someone a while back on here posted that their response to this quesions is" I AM smart...which is why i do this job.. i use that answer and like it."

    ^^ yea that's on that condescending type ish...eww, good answer, I hadn't seen that b4!

    I will say, that is the more ignorant ppl in life who ask this stuff, in my experience. Older and especially business men....#1 they've been around, and it ain't new news...some girls strip, even smart ones too, and #2 ...it IS smart, and they know it!

    Heh. I say, "I do whatever I want," and smile. They're never sure if I'm joking or being a bitch. Then I ask them a question.

    Whoa. When I read your first post I totally thought that the guys were asking the question fishing to see which extras you might offer.

    I get asked what I do when I'm not working quite often. I tell them I have a book business online. I sell sex books. They love that. I really do sell books, but I just embellish the truth.

    And I tell them I do yoga... it makes for a good segway back into selling dances/VIP because they're always impressed with that one. "Wow, I bet you're really flexible!"

    I hate that...sometimes they mean free time, so I'm just vague. But when its the job thing I always say "why would I have another job? I can work as little or as much as I want here...and I'm not going to make this money anywhere else."

    I either laugh and say you tell me first or i just say something along the lines of im the lap dancing queen of florida...something corny to make them laugh and then I hit them up for VIP or a dance. Of course that doesnt work with regulars, I usually tell them im about to go back to school...i even had a couple offer dances to help with my school costs whatever makes you feel better about giving me your paycheck, lol...

    In case it hasn't occurred to you, you might consider that most guys coming into a strip club, even after the first time, can't fathom that someone would make dancing a job or that a dancer could make serious money at it. The guys are there on a one-off basis and only see the one dollar bills or occasional twenty that they hand over, and they don't think to follow the algebra of the number of nights a dancer works and the number of customers and dances involved.

    Also, since that question comes up when the guy has no idea that dancing can be your job, he also has no idea that anyone has ever asked that question before or that you might be aggravated with the topic.

    You'll probably adopt the best perspective if you think of it as a six year old cousin asking you what you want to do when you grow up.

    I always tell them that the club owns my soul so I do what they want when they want. Yeah, it's a total lie and a really bitchy answer, but most guys don't push me after that.

    Maybe.....just maybe....guys have such a hard time working it out in their heads that they are paying us for our time (whatever) that they are actually trying to make pick up talk. Like, pretending that we're not "working" therefore the 'So what do you do' seems perfectly reasonable to them. Not that they are fully aware that they are doing this....but yah, whatever, it's a thought.

    maximvsv....I would never ever walk into a resteraunt and ask a waiter "So, what do you do? Yah besides this, this can't be your only job!"
    Nor would I ask it of a hair dresser, a bank teller, anyone. It's a silly question really. Buuuuuuuut, because so many women DO use dancing as a stepping stone to get to other places in life, put them through school, pay for vocational classes, etc, that the question isn't that far off. Still a silly thing to ask though.

    I'll tell you this though, I'd much rather a guy assume I do something else besides strip, then to assume because "I'm just a stripper" he can do/say whatever he wants to me and I'll take it for the money.

    When guys ask me the what do you do question I look him in the eye and say "You mean, other than walk around in my underwear for you? Really, what else matters?!"

    I make shit up. The more out there the better. It's amazing what guys will believe. I told one guy I was a professional Jenga player. Went on a 20 minute explanation of the Jenga tour and ESPN coverage, blah blah. He was all impressed.

    I wonder how many times he scoured ESPN looking for a game.

    Whatever...it amuses me..ask a stupid question..get a smartassed answer.

    ^YUP! I've gotten to the point where I'll just be whatever I think the guy wants me to be...and make up shit all the time. This is only for the stupid, annoying custys and questions, though. It is quite amusing. Other than that, I'm pretty much no bullshit.

    I say this too, it usually gets a smile from them.

    I never feel obligated to talk about my life outside of the club with customers. They can ask me personal questions all day long, but it doesn't mean I'm going to give them an answer. A smart guy will stop asking after you've evaded the first or second question, and if he doesn't he's probably not worth much $ anyway. Most spending custies don't give a rat's ass about our personal lives.

    i get "do you work here?" at least a couple times a week. i don't get it. i wear just as little as everyone else and trust me, i look like a stripper at work. what do they think i do? go to strip clubs in a thong in my spare time to "hang out"? *shakes head* it's even more confusing when they ask me that AFTER i introduced myself in a very flirtatious way.

    yeah.. i'm a regular girl who just likes to dress nearly naked and flirt with overweight older men at strip clubs.

    I get that a lot too because I tend to wear more clothing than the average dancer - I look better in outfits than bikinis, and I'm not going to be one of those chicks who hangs around in an ill-fitting bikini just because that's what everyone else is wearing. So I'll get guys who ask if I'm a dancer, and I'll sometimes act outraged and ask how DARE they make such an insinuation just because I'm wearing a see-through fishnet shirt with a miniskirt and a garter full of money!
