Been to a strip club 3 times in my life; and my main memory (aside from that 40 year old that looked amazing naked) is it was depressing. There was this one guy; typical slacked jaw yokel Letting go of dollar after dollar to have a dancer close to him. Once he was out, she was gone. A few tables over a couple of big weight lifters had 3 to 4 strippers with them, never saw them hand out money. Then there was the stripper that offered to service someone from my group for $300 (it was a bachelor party).
You'll see the worse of humanity.
Yep. I think most people don't realize what truly goes on behind the scenes and what a lot of the women who strip will actually do to make even more money. The men who go there know they are willing to get naked to make some $$ so who says they won't have sex as well or start dating them and they pay them for that.0 -
They all have rules. Enough money though ensures eyes are averted while rules are broken. I'd have to say most strip clubs are not run on the up and up
I agree. Those so-called "rules" are just to keep the laws intact for the type of place they are running. It doesn't mean the nasty stuff isn't happening. Plus in this day and age a crazy person can find a stripper much easier with the access of the internet and social media. And even a "classy" place is still the same as a low down, nasty strip club that's run badly. You can't put caviar on a turd and call it a classy meal. A turd is still a turd no matter what.
IMHO, classy would be not stripping at all but it's just because I see no reason behind it except to be exploited and I'm worth more than that. I don't hate on anyone who does strip but there are jobs you can get like waitressing with very little clothing on (Hooters for instance) and make money as well. 0 -

Well obviously I'd strip just not down to nothing. I'd keep some things on
It Sounds more like you want to be a Burlesque Dancer...... Which is something totally different

Not a damn thing. I know a couple women that put themselves through university by stripping. I'll come watch ya!!0 -

Take some classes and build up your skill set. Being an athlete is hard work, you'll need endorsements, and it isn't like a steady job unless you become an instructor. Pole dancing is one of those things you have to be good at, before you can start doing it as a professional. It is a sport and you will train to compete.
Oh and here are some drawbacks:

Just for clarity...
Pole dancer the athlete/artist (which apparently is a thing), or pole dancer the entertainer?0 -

I live in Vegas. I've known lots of strippers and have dated lots of strippers.
The good:- you make lots of money
- you get lots of attention
- you have a reason to look good and be healthy
The bad:- LOTS of drugs
- some people won't date you, or will look down on you. This will tempt you to date customers, which will end in disaster
- it's an easy life to get stuck in while you're young, and then you wind up being 35 with zero job prospects
- the women you work with can be a-holes. Watch your tip money like a hawk and keep a good lock on your locker
A smart stripper can avoid getting wrapped up in the drugs & alcohol, invest her money, and retire well at 35-40. I also know a handful of women who are stripping their way through college, and will graduate with a nice saving and/or paid-off house, and will have a great head-start on life.
But let's face it: Most people aren't that smart, so they wind up strung out, and become 40-year-old has-beens with no job, no skills, no money, and no looks (because you don't keep your looks when you're on meth).
So if you're smart, go ahead and good luck!5 -

Both require skill and a certain level of athleticism. One is for competition, and one needs to maintain a certain level of athletic skill to entertain an audience with a sense of amazement/awe.1 -

Yes - Income from classy PG-13 stripping is *definitely* going to come in handy as a supplement to those MIT scholarships.

Your young enough to be my daughter so let me explain this too you as if I was talking to my daughter. Your young and beautiful but you do not yet have the life experience of someone who is older and who has been around the block a few times. I believe that you are much more valuable than to let yourself be drawn into that world. It is a very dark world filled with many unsavory characters who are looking to only use you and take advantage of you. My of these women, whom I have know personally, have drug habits and end up doing things much worse than stripping .. like prostitution and worse.
Even if it didn't lead to drugs and prostitution why would you want to lower yourself to be someone who is objectified and treated like a piece of meat. Many of these women have lasting emotional and psychological damage from their experiences in strip clubs and bars. They are left feeling empty and broken inside. Some have even been followed after work and raped or even killed. You have to understand the male mind to be able to comprehend what you are opening yourself up to. If a man is paying you to take off your clothes than you are of absolutely no value to him.. you are the lowest form of life around. That means for some that they develop a feeling of possession over you and can demonstrate stalkerish behavior. It can end up being a nightmare that you might not wake up from.
You also should consider your long term future. Stripping is not really a path way to success.. the money will not last forever and what are you going to do when your looks fade ? Everyone ages and nothing stays the same. I would encourage your to goto college and get an education that will help you earn a living for the rest of your life.
You should also think about your future husband or kids and how you might feel if they ever found out that their mom was a stripper. Everything goes on the internet today and once its out there it stays out there.. think about your family today.. your mother and your father.. Have you considered how much you might hurt them if they found out what you are doing ?

Yes, in this thread.2 -
And not all strippers are great pole dancers - you can make just as much gliding around the stage looking hot as you can doing impressive moves on the pole. Plus, pole dancing can result in unsightly bruises and brush burns - not great for the appearance when you work mostly naked and the pole is shared so if you're a germ-phobe like me that's a deterrent.
This idea that you can't resist the lure of drugs is so ridiculous though. If you're prone to addiction - it's everywhere - nurses become addicts, high school kids become addicts, housewives. I never found adult work to tempt me to do substances. They aren't my thing.2 -
Nothing wrong with it . Things tend to get a bad name because of what is sometimes associated with it , like drugs , women being forced to do it through people trafficing , sexual exploitation and abuse of women .
If you really want to do it , make sure you work for a law abiding buisness. Make sure there is no shady dealings going on and you will be fine . Aim high never low .0 -

The environment as a whole is going to cater to drug use far more than working in a doctors office of whatever. Yes, there are addicts everywhere...but one is more apt to use and abuse in an environment that is conducive to that...c'mon.4 -

I disagree. What I found was that since people knew I wasn't into it no one offered me anything or even did it in front of me. I've got non adult-working friends who are total potheads and/or hard drinkers. I think you're basing your opinions on stereotypes you've seen in the media. Until you've worked in the industry you really don't know what goes on. The crackhead stereotype always gets the most attention because it's a salacious image and it plays into our cultural negativity around the adult industries. It doesn't mean it's the norm.1 -
