Is it for the fun or money?
shadowcatAtlanta suburb
I have a favorite dancer. She is 29 and been working at the same club for 8 years. She is 5'9" (legs all the way up to her ass) with nice perky "B"s. Great personality. Fun to talk to and does a hell of a good lap dance. She does 2 for $20 for me. She has a real job working the front office for a ballet studio and teaches ballet to the small kids.
She only works 1 day a week. She comes in on Fridays, after work, around 5PM. She only drinks 2 beers and is gone at 9PM. She says her goal is $200 for the 4 hour shift.
Is she doing it for the $200 or just blowing off steam after the work week?
Pop, you know who I am talking about.

last commentI don't think of teaching ballet to kids as a stressful job but I do think of it as a low paying job, so I am guessing she is doing it still for the money. I don't know though...
Exercise is what comes to mind. It sounds like a night at the gym that's more than paid for!!
'cat: Why can't it be for both?
ss1,
Teaching anything to kids can be very stressful!
It's got to be to relieve the stress of the little kids and the diva moms.
Isn't stripping stressful?
She is probably doing it to meet old men.
Have you ever asked her?
Probably it's a case of killing two birds with one stone for her. She needs a bit of extra cash and she gets the thrill of having dudes going gaga over her.
She's doing it for the income AND hiding it from those around her. Two beers and four hours at a "happy hour" after work is easily explained. Anything more is not.
I agree with Chanel. She seems smart in picking Friday and is there to catch the on the way home from work married crowd. Those 2 for $20 dances sound like a great deal. I am sure she is at the mall on Saturday with her $200.
shadowcat- seems like you, of all people, should be able to figure this one out. I'd vote for both. It's both fun and the money.
Seems like shadowcat could get the best answer from PLs who have had the similar experience before. Also, why wouldn't you ask her directly if you're curious about it. It doesn't seem like an offensive/lame question.
Agree, if that curious - ask. Strippers love to talk about themselves - even part-time ones.
Ok, I'll throw some more shit in the game. Not married. No kids. Prefers to hang out at the bar with regulars rather than float around the club looking for customers.
Can you please throw out more shit so you can get to the perfect answer for you?
nah i'm just messing you with, shadow.
since you let us know more about her info, my bet is on "both" because:
8 years of exp shows that she's well-informed with the business
hangs out at the bar more than hunting for ATMs
seems to always reach her goal of lowly 200 Bens with no SS
has another job
by the way, why are you curious about that? do you love her? do you care about her more than other gals? =P
It's the money, a lady with low expectations.
Anyone ever go to sex addicts anonymous meetings? Going to work in a job field simply for the sexual thrills
She only makes $200? She should start doing extras.
Money
Does Gridget have a view on this?
fucking money sums it up
SuperDude, I dunno. gridget does not know her that well.I will ask her when we meet on the 22nd. If I remember. I started this thread just to see what the responses would be. My gut feeling is that it is just for fun and the money is just an added benefit.
My guess would be letting off steam at the end of the work week. Isn't that what most of us are doing, only she GETS money instead of shelling it out?
As to the other "shit in the game" -- no hubby or kids and she hangs with regulars -- this bolsters the "fun" part. Although maybe not "friends" per se, the regulars are a known quantity that she can hang with. But still, $200 is $200. So I still go with both fun and money.
One of my former ATFs only has the one job (as a dancer), so she's primarily doing it for the money. However, sometimes she'd rather just shoot the shit with me, even if she knows I'm not gonna drop my usual bundle on her that night. Frankly, I think the best (or at least, most fun) dancers are the ones who are in it for both fun and money.
SuperDude, I did talk to gridget on the phone. She said that when a dancer goes from working full time at a club to only part time, it is mostly for the fun. When you are working full time you have the stress of making money to pay bills, etc. Part time you have the luxury of choosing who you will hang out with, etc. The $200 is just icing on the cake.
Shadowcat, I'll bet because of the lack of stress, she makes more $ in a shift than most of the full timers.
magicrat, you gotta try her. You will like it.
