Is it me or do most strippers have emotional problems?

[KAYNE]

yet another falsehood.. i've had many a fellow service member actually marry a stripper... only to have their marriage end in said servicemember ripping his hair out by the roots cuz his old lady was fucking every other patron and never showing up to her classes...

LMFAO!!!........WELL, IF SAID SERVICEMAN MARRIED A STRIPPER, HE DESERVED WHAT HE GOT.

We should all go and discuss this with the strippers themselves at http://www.stripperpower.com/cgi-bin/dcforum/dcboard.cgi

OK This thread is annoying the SHIT out of me. You guys are so God-damned judegmental. Like Non-stippers are NOT fucked up?
Oh yea, I forgot, there isn't a SINGLE FUCKED-UP MALE on the planet.

No offense, but if you don't want to "give the bitches your money" then WHAT THE FUCK are you doing in a strip club? Oh yea, "Why pay for it when you can get it for free?" Or "I'll just let THE OTHER guys pay for me."

WHAT THE FUCK?!

EASY MONEY? YOU HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT.... ANY WHO THINKS THAT DANCING OR STRIPPING (I can't comment on stripping because I only dance WITH my clothing on, not much but not much less than what I wear on a shoot or in competition.) is EASY should walk a mile in those 7" fucking shoes for 7 hours, have to smile and pretend like you give a fucking shit about ANY of the assholes that just walked through the door.

Do dancers/strippers hate men? Yea, I have to say that unless she has VERY GOOD ESTEEM and can separate entertainment and fantasy (that is SUPPOSED to be her job) from reality.

I have been dancing to support myself and my children (and yes, I told them BEFORE I eve set foot on the stage) for about eight months now and I have YET to date/leave with/kiss/give a lapdance or otherwise innappropriately engage a customer. Once a man walks through the door of a club where I work I would NEVER EVER even consider giving him the time of day outside of the club. Why? Because A)the facade that IS MY JOB is his first impression of me B)to some degree I think he is fucked up for coming in, in the first place... but I am not bitching. Hell, I LOVE those guys. If it weren't for them, I would not be able to work 2/3 days or nights per week and still be with my children MOST of the time and support us AND go to school (I am in the process of registering for the fall session now).

Are there strippers/dancers who are fucked up?

ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY. And I think it is a crime that so many young beautiful women allow themselves to be degraded by assholes every day. No one and I mean NO ONE EVER degrades me while I am working... I will NEVER allow this. There is more than one way to degrade/humiliate a patron when he is PURPOSELY trying to fuck with/degrade a dancer. Trust me - I know them ALL!

....And I rarely date. I don't have much of a desire to. Do I socialize with friends? Yes. Do I have adult relationships? Yes. But I do NOT have a desire to have or give a commitment, so what is the harm?

Any one who thinks they above someone because of the job they do (unless we are talking dealing crack or a hit man,etc) has issues themselvs. Believe me when I tell you that some of the most "respected" professionals are my BEST customers. I call them when I am working and they shower me to watch me dance and if I feel like it, I will sit with them between sets and chat. THAT IS IT. Would they love it if it were more? DUH! Don't you think I hear that shit EVERY FREAKING NIGHT?! PUH-LEASE!

Am I the shit? HELL NO. I am the shit to my girls, my family and handful of wonderful friends that have supported me when I hit rock bottom last year and will continue to support me regardless. Of this I have no doubt. Is this enough for me? ABSOLUTELY - AND THEN SOME.

Remember - Stereotypes are just that: stereotypes. What goes on in a club and what goes on in "the real world" are often times two completely different things.

I know some strippers. In fact my best firend (a gal) is one. The thing is: most of them 90%, will rely on some drug to work (usually coke).SO it basically makes them fucked up a bit. Then imagine, you're dancing for some old farts, people that could easily be your dad or for some losers. This said, they'll most likely hate men or at least lose respect for them. Also remember that strippers will usually hang out with fellow strippers so this way they feel protected and thats where their big attitude come from.

Not all strippers clubs are created equal just like not all strippers are created equal. You guys must just be hanging out at the really seedy joints. IMO it is not a damn bit demeaning for the girl (she is laughing all the way to the bank) but it sure as hell is for the idiot that is handing over his paycheck - i,e. I am so pathetic that I have to pay to see a woman like this.

What you say is true about MANY who dance/strip, of that I am sure... HOWEVER

I do NOT socialize with ANY of my co-workers - PERIOD. (I do have one friend that is an ex-dancer and I did not meet her in that atmosphere.)

I have NEVER EVER taken ANY DRUG (coke, alcohol, whatever) in order to work WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AN OTC THERMOGENIC TO HELP KEEP ME FROM FALLING ASLEEP. The way I look at it, if I HAVE TO BE HIGH to do my job, then perhaps I should get another job... know whadda mean?

I used to live in Boulder Colorado with three women who danced at the Busstop. One was a doctoral student working on her thesis. One was getting her master's in education. The third was a student with me at Naropa Institute. She was working on her third published collection of poetry... put out through Marpa House Publishing. None of them brought home sleazy guys... or for that matter pretty much any guys. One had a steady boyfriend... nice guy who ran a mailorder business... and one dated occasionally but not guys she met at the club. None of them used drugs, none drank, and the house was always clean and they paid their rent on time. They were all honest, dependable roommates that didn't cause problems and had many friends. They danced because they made a hell of a lot more stripping than they could make doing anything else... and it was a job that afforded them the ability to work far fewer hours.

None of them were emotionally screwed up any worse than any of my none stripper friends.

I don't know one freind of mine that's on drugs while at work......
None of my freinds really even drink while at work......
I've plead my case over and over again in the other "all strippers are whores" threads, so I won't go into it again other than saying what Bmom said "stereotypes are just that-stereotypes"
