Why is being a stripper bad?

Look, if it's something you want to do then no outside opinion matters.
I knew someone who was a stripper (she preferred dancer). She was amazing, spent hours every day practicing on the pole. She was a true athlete and a graceful performer. No one could watch her perform and say she was a mere "stripper". It was beautiful to watch her. Unfortunately the dancing and performing part is a small part of the job. Lap dances and getting patrons to buy things were 90% of the job. She got out because she grew tired of the booze and drugs used frequently by the dancers she was always around, and the games she had to play with clientele to make more money. She walked off the job one day because she could not stand one more private dance with a guy wearing sweatpants and no underwear. She'd had enough. Your experience may or may not vary from hers. She teaches pole dancing classes to housewives now and while the money isn't as good, she's fine.
Ultimately your life and your decision. Like any decision, think about your goals and weigh the pros and cons. Just don't go into this thinking you're making your money from doing a beautiful pole dance and strip tease. It will make you some tips, but it's basically just marketing for the privates and working up the clientele. If you're still good with that, go for it.4 -
nothing wrong with it. I've met many strippers. the majority of them from the age 20 to 35. it's a personal choice. they enter contest and could win big cash. the last time I was at a club a girl had her *kitten* pierced . that would have me wanting to know why. yes i'm pierced but there is no way i'd get that done. check it out on youtube it's real1

Bottom line.
It,s not bad....0 -
it sounds like your definition of 'stripper' is actually 'exotic dancer', as you don't think you will be taking off clothes...."stripping" ..2

It's basically what people make of it in my opinion its a form of dancing.1

It actually makes really good money just not in the beginning bc most newbie strippers don't get as many tips [/quote]
"just the tip"

There are lots of better ways to make money with cute clothes and dancing. Though nothing wrong with it.1

They make really good money and can wear really cute clothes. I see nothing morally wrong with being a stripper unless you have kids... Then you should probably get a better job. What do you think?
I see you're 18 years old. Would you have a problem telling your parents what you do for work? Any of your siblings? If you do, then it may not be for you.
Also, "wear really cute clothes"? Do strippers actually wear clothes?
Edit: You should probably just get a job at Hooters or Twin Peaks.
Yes my parents know I have also gotten permission from them to be a stripper for money for college I just have to be classy and yes classy ones do
I see an oxymoron in there somewhere....do your parents actually know what's involved in "stripping while keeping it classy??"
You won't get big$ dancing on a stage, the couch dances are where the $ are. Do you think you'll feel good about doing that smelling the breath of a liquored up cigar smoker?1 -

Well obviously I'd strip just not down to nothing. I'd keep some things on
wtf
i want my money back
Down to that level
Nobody paying for that level. Can see that on any public beach.1 -
It isnt! Why would there be anything wrong with it? It makes good money and if you like doing it then go for it! Only judgmental *kitten* would say otherwise0

I find that paying off student loans is crazy sexy, hot. I knew this girl: and she was a great dancer, and she was totally ripped, and she got a student loan to pay for college, and now, she has like: a great job, where she is respected and she is surrounded by friends and family that respect her and her life choices. Just an option. It's not for everyone.
PS- she is salary and bonus eligible so, she purchases all the "cute clothes" you can possibly imagine, girl! Stay in school.3 -
I made money off my body too....playing football. Fun but injuries. As long as client's not allowed to touch you, its all good. Just work at a classy club (No side work ) Doorman adult clubs 15 years0

Drugs, alcohol, prostitution, organized crime, scum bags, STD's and all the things that go along with those things. Other than that...3

Do it and enjoy it. Read the blog "surviving the club" for inspiration. https://survivetheclub.wordpress.com/category/most-popular/ I hear people say you narrow your choice of partners in future - yep, to non small minded ones. As for alcohol fuelled environments - been to any pubs lately? If you're a tough cookie with strong boundaries and an unshakeable sense of self respect, youll do fine.
I always wanted to date a dancer but was too shy to ask.0 -
Did we ever get an answer and did the OP find her job of choice?0
-
be careful what you ask for0
-
it was bad for me...couldn't make a nickle.4

Very true. Some swimming suits cover less.0 -

I think I have seen elements of that in every job I have had. One can choose to navigate around these typically.
Rock on if this is your choice.0 -
Always wanted to date a dancer but was too shy too ask. Dancers probably get hit on all the time anyway.0
