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. OMG, you have met one of my clients! Actually, she really is a likable young woman, tough upbringing but she's smart and cute, and thin. Just started having babies with losers way too young, took up stripping at 18 on the recommendation from her father, yeah, you read that right. I guess she used to make okay money and worked there about 6 years. Honestly, I'd rather have my tax dollars pay for welfare for her cuz this kid has a chance to do something better with her life. She got jammed up with some criminal stuff and could no longer work in the strip club, only the "no clothes" club cuz no alcohol was served there. When she started bringing home $12 a night, totally not worth that level of "exposure". I have to give her credit, that girl is resourceful and has tons of contacts from former "clients" when she worked there to whom she regularly calls in "favors". One of my ex guy friends married a stripper, and seemed surprised when she turned out to be bat shit crazy. He hung in there with her though, bless his heart. I say "ex" guy friend cuz she hated me, even though she'd never met me and forbid him from talking to me, and after years of harassment from her, I finally gave up trying to maintain a friendships with him. Sad actually...

Damn right I would! That would really be the only fiscally responsible choice. eta: I also just realized that I kind of hate her.

Plenty of people "sell" themselves in one way or another. She's just more upfront about it. I completely agree with this. From what I've seen in the workplace over the years, stripping is just maniuplation being done in the public instead of behind closed doors.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

If a woman wants / chooses to do this job and uses the money to further her education and get a career, then so be it. I'm not one to judge. I am concerned though about how does this NOT come back to "haunt" you? Does it depend what career you choose?
The reason I wonder is I was channel surfing early this morning and there was a gal crying to someone (some talk show; don't remember which one; no doubt a rerun at that time of the AM) about how she is a teacher and pictures from her past as a stripper have resurfaced, her students found them and she was then fired. Don't know any other details than that, but I would worry about that if that was the path I chose or was considering...

I'm sure there are many degrees of stripping and motivations for doing so. Some probably consider it exciting and dangerous. Degrading? I say it can be empowering! Men work for hours for their money, then throw it away in minutes in exchange to stand near a hot girl who gives them a seductive look. Some strippers get paid a few hundred an hour to go and sit in the VIP room and drink champagne and talk to the guy. I'm sure others end up doing things that are much less glamorous or safe.
I do believe that in a lot of cases, it comes down to the money. $8/hour making frappucinos for 20 hours a week, or hundreds, even thousands in cash to dance naked for a total of an hour or two on a Saturday night?
$20k/month!!!!!! And probably mostly cash? Yowza... The federal pay scale tops out at about $155k. Even upper management at private corporations don't always break $200k/year.

What about their partners?
Would you want half the town knowing what you were having for supper?
Not sure I'd want all those women leering at my husband's bits.

Then you don't marry a man who is a stripper.

I had a coworker that was a stripper for years and years. It didn't bother me, unless I heard Bon Jovi's "you give love a bad name" at work. That was his favorite stage song.
Our offices faced each other and I would get all red thinking about it. He was still super hot.
