strippers...

I totally support single moms!!!!!

i would be so shy and wouldnt want to show my body off like that

Seems like stripping is contraindicated in this case.

Be sure you've thought it through. No matter what opinions you get here, there will be a lot of people who will look down on you. Also think about your future career and whether this could have repercussions later on. Have you had any trouble over custody of your child/ren? Stripping might be used against you in a custody case.

If you decide to go through with it, think about your safety. Make sure you have reliable transportation, for one thing. I would not want to be a stripper without a car and risk having an overenthusiastic patron follow me onto the bus or walking home.

As ElizRd said, as long as you are safe and it can't be used against you, I personally don't see any issue with it.

^^^ This, exactly this.

I support Moms and I support Strippers:

a member of my family did it and they made over a grand a night most nights. Also it's all cash, she had no loans at the age of 30, even owned her own home.

I think strippers are desperate and it's a sad situation. I don't believe it makes them bad people though.

Do it.


Curious. On a different note. Have you ever watch the pole dancing competitions. Omg, amazing talent. YouTube Felix Cane. Incredible talent.

It sounds like you'd be pretty smart about it. As long as you really think it through and you can handle some people's disapproval, I'd say you would be fine.

I dont think there is an issue at all. I would hate to deal with the men personally, but I bet you would learn some good people skills, LOL! As long as you dont plan on running for public office or marrying someone who is....then if you want to go for it, go ahead. Just be safe, there are a lot of creeps out there.........Keep your sense of self and dont do anything crazy.

Sounds like you know what you are doing. i fully support dancers. be safe.

i danced burlesque for awhile. it was fucking amazing to hear the cheers from the crowd. i only wish i had miney being stuffed into my, um, pasties?

Nicer looking and not so stoned/drunk I should say. If you do choose that route, I hope you don't fall into the lifestyle often associated with it.

This is what I was going to say. When I was younger, I had a LOT of friends who were strippers. We used to go play pool until the bar closed, then go to the strip club to hang out since it was the only place still open. Most of them started out great girls...with good intentions. But girls would regularly bring alcohol into the back (this usually isn't allowed)...often as a means to cope with their own guilt for what they were doing. The guilt free ones avoided that trap...but almost invariably got caught up in the 'party-girl' atmosphere. Many lost their children (to exes or parents/family...sometimes to CPS) that they started stripping to support, because they were never home, and when they were...they were sleeping. Drugs are stupidly prevalent. And the pressure to do them is IMMENSE. You've never felt the kind of pressure a dressing room full of aggressive women can bring to bear, trust me...the newer girls would often leave in tears.

Now...out of ALL of the girls I knew. In the couple years we all hung out together...only ONE avoided every single solitary pitfall. She started at 18, and when I met her she was 22. She never dated customers (you'd be shocked how many women meet their boyfriends/husbands while working as strippers)...she never did drugs. She refused ANY and ALL social advances from the other girls...but was incredibly nice and helpful to them as well. It took her a year before she'd even socialize with me...and she told me the reason was because she never once saw me buy a lap dance, or do anything but hang out and be friendly (I wasn't there for naked women...I was there to hang with my friends and meet cool people lol). We went out to dinner occasionally, and eventually she told me that her plan was to retire by 25yrs old. She already owned...at 22, a 4000sf house in Vegas, and had over $1.2m in the bank. She made roughly $1500/night, and she worked SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. She also invested her money. She had no kids...and didn't intend to have kids OR date until she'd quit stripping. She'd graduated high school at the top of her class. I asked her why she wanted to strip...and she told me that her plan was to make her money first, enough to live the rest of her life if possible...then, when she could afford to live in any manner she chose...she could go to school...find a career, marry...have kids...all without the burden of economic dependency on anyone. Rather than going to school for however many years and becoming a doctor...THEN making the money to pay off student loans, and build a life...she built a life first, and when she went to school, I'm sure she paid cash.

Anyway, that's ONE girl, out of hundreds.

Consider your path very carefully.

As long as you are in a safe environment and can keep your eyes on the ultimate prize, I would fully do it. You would be having an incredible life experience as well.

I agree with this, be careful what you get yourself in to.
My personal opinion: stripping should be considered more respectable and it's a good way to make money if you have the body and the confidence for it. Also, I think it could be enjoyable! Try it out, see if you like it!
