Thought I would share this gem that I saw on fb this morning. WTH?! Ive seen these videos that have been floating around, and they are all extremely talented, artistic athletic dances... who wouldnt want to have that kind of strength, flexibility, and endurace?!

The post itself bothers me enough as is, but on top of that Im pretty sure it is directed at me. Lastnight I added my pole pictures onto fb (because Im f*ckin proud of the moves Ive accomplished and proud to show it off!). And to top it off the woman who made the fb post is my now ex's ex girlfriends cousin, and the first comment is my ex's ex, last comment the cousin again.

I ended up saying this, but it was after I took the screen shot. "Theres a difference between pole dancing as an art to build up strenght, flexibility, and endurance and pole dancing at a strip club."

So far no reply..

Ugh, I just cant stand the close mindedness.

    Here is an update of the post.

    Im happy to see a couple other women commented on it positively about pole dancing, and that someone had success losing 60 lbs doing it!

    The last comment is my ex's ex again.. looks like shes trying to retract her comment a bit. Still disagree with the last half of her comment about internet *kitten* videos. All Ive seen spread around fb is videos of really talented pole performers.

    If this was someone else writing about it I wouldnt have such an issue, I would say my comment and leave it alone, but since I know it was directed at me Im pretty bothered by it.

    Ah well! Time to get in some pole practice! :D

    Good to see other supportive people replying to the FB post! Just try not to let the original post bother you (I know easier said than done).

    And that would be why I do not have a FB account.
