Make sure you wear neutral or pastel colored pasties under your PBP approved power suit. Can't have clients getting the wrong impression when you show up.

which is the amusing part - that she was a stripper or that he met her at her work? Good strippers can make $1000 a night. One of DS1's friend's mom was a stripper and she's still doing cocktail waitressing - 40 years old and 3 kids - and she's pulling down the bucks. I wish someone wanted to pay me to take off my clothes or wear skimpy clothes. I'd take off my clothes and shake it for $1000 a night, no problem. But I am over 40 - ain't nobody paying me to take anything off! Maybe they'd pay us a couple hundred bucks a night to keep them on....

Honestly, in Swamp's position, I'd be wondering what made her decide to choose such a degrading profession. Strippers aren't exactly known for coming from happy homes or having healthy self esteems. Swamp and I both had fathers who cared about us, but not everyone does.

She probably chose it because she's freakin' hot and not particularly bright.
She's also Quebecoise. They generally are a little less uptight about sex than Americans.
I think I need to clarify. It cracks me up because the husband is the type of guy who will choose looks over everything else.

meh, maybe she did it to get through college.... or maybe she knew it paid damn well for a few hours of work a night. I mean it's not like she was a porn star or anything.
There are a few nurses where my ILs work who stripped to pay for nursing school. Sadly, everyone still sees them as strippers.

I think that's the problem. Once a stripper, always a stripper.
Heck, look at the Saved by the Bell girl. She didn't even play a stripper on the big screen and people still call her one.

And now every blind job posting I see that requests excellent customer service skills will have me questionting just what kind of business they are in. From the stories I've heard from some male friends, there is apparently a niche market for all body types in that business.

Swamp and I both had fathers who cared about us, but not everyone does. just because you think it's degrading, doesn't mean everyone does. It's legitimate work. Would you be happier if a woman sat at home and collected welfare instead of getting a job stripping if it was the only skill she had?

Well if that's the case you're supposed to rage at her for every decision she's made since childhood that resulted in her only being able to get hired as a stripper. If she was a smart responsible productive member of society she would have gotten an STEM degree while working a full time in a legitmate profession (whichever one is currently YM approved) so she could pay for it 100% on her own. She'd have had this plan mapped out since the day she popped out of the uterus. Did that cover everything?

swamp - you have a laugh because you are so not surprised to learn that about him, and then you go on being friendly with her (because she's nice) and putting up with him (because he's an ass but a great coach for the kids). And hopefully, by continuing to be friendly and normal with her, you, as an upstanding member of your community, set the example for the rest of the people who may learn this information about her and think it's okay to shun her for it. You teach your kids (who will eventually hear the rumors, even if they don't quite get it) that you don't write people off because of a past career.
NomoreDramaQ1015 - I think I might be able to confuse YM a bit with a stripper I knew. She came from an abusive household and found herself in an abusive relationship young. She had a kid. She got herself and her kid out of the abusive relationship and got her life back on track, going to school full time for a YM approved degree in computer science (she's an amazing programmer). She went to school full time while her kid was in school and in the afternoons also watched her friend's kids while her friend worked a regular job. Three nights a week (Thurs, Fri, Sat) her friend watched her son in the evening while she stripped. She made enough money to pay all of her bills AND not take out any loans for college. She stopped stripping once she was able to get a lucrative programming position. (And for the record, this is not the "story" she tells now. I haven't seen her in 15+ years. I knew her while she was in school and stripping. Other friends were closer to her and still keep in touch, so I know how things have turned out.)

I have a friend that was a stripper. This was after we were in the military together. Her husband was a fireman. She made damn good money. Only reason she gave it up was because she got pregnant unexpectedly (had been told for years she wasn't capable of getting pregnant- after numerous tests). After the kid was born she start doing body building and competing around the Upper NW doing that. Now she owns a successful small business designing and making baby and children's products. Most have forgotten her stripper days. DS' friend when he was in Elementary school was a little girl who's mom worked as a waitress at the local strip club. The guy the owned the club also owned a regular bar next to it and the waitresses had shifts at both bars. She hated telling people where she worked because the other moms would judge her. She would say she was a waitress and mention the other bar if they wanted to know where she worked. Only people paying attention or the frequented the bars realized that the two businesses were connected and next door to one another. She was always worried that moms would think she was a stripper and refuse to let her daughter play with their kids. We had a company Christmas party at the regular bar side a few years ago (it's a relatively classy place). My mom didn't realize that her friend that owned the bar also owned the strip club. When he asked what kind of "entertainment" we wanted for the night my dad and I nearly fell out of our chairs laughing when my mom said "oh surprise me, something fun maybe!" He apparently meant a band

Swamp and I both had fathers who cared about us, but not everyone does. That is a sexist generalization. Why is it degrading? It's a job that pays the bills and some people would prefer to do that than clean toilets or cashier at Wal-Mart or some other low-skilled work that may pay a lot less. Channing Tatum used to be a stripper and I don't hear a bunch of people lamenting his lack of self-esteem or wondering why his daddy didn't love him.

It's because he has a penis. Only vaginas can have low self esteem and daddy issues.

male stripper strip because they like it.
female strippers only strip because their daddies left them and they need to find some way to bridge the gap between their welfare checks and the child support checks they get from their 2 or 3 baby daddies.

One of the guys I worked with in the kitchen the last place I was a server is a male stripper. He said he can clear $3k a night doing private parties. I wish DH were younger and in better shape, I'd be pimping him out for $3k in cash a night.

It's because he has a penis. Only vaginas can have low self esteem and daddy issues. And if I say that I would like to see said penis, does that mean I have just emotionally cheated? Or that I'm just a no-self-esteem-having ho-bag? I get confused.
