  You might want to check out- [view link]. A good place to compare notes with other dancers; even if they tend to be negative towards us guys. Honestly, we're not all as bad as they seem to think we are. It would probably help to know what part of the country generally you live in. Based on your pics, you'll do just fine wherever you end up. Good luck to you.

  Visit the clubs in your area. IMO if you are this apprehensive about finding a club and name on your own, you may not have what it takes to be a successful dancer.

  Did you read Art's Rant juicebox69? I'm guessing you may not have read it.

  for a "working" name, your screen name here wouldn't be a bad one. as for how to decide on a club to work in, first off, are you going to let your family/friends know you're dancing in a strip club? if not, then finding one that's not too close to where you live might actually be a good idea. I know a dancer who drives about two hours one way to get to the club she works in, so a having to do a 'long commute' to a club isn't all that odd. beyond that, as others have said, check out some of the reviews here and then think of it as the person they'll be talking about. do you want to dance in a club where you're expect to let the guys do everything but roll on a condom and bend you over? or would you prefer one where you're expected to do a less "intimate" dance? it might not even be a bad idea to talk to some of the dancers about what the club is like (though not, of course, letting them know you're thinking of working there....too good a chance they'll bad-mouth the place to keep from having to compete with you). to be honest, from your pics, I wish you lived in northern Illinois, I know a club or three that could use someone who looks like you!

  Try to find out what the average dancer is making at the clubs you want to work at. Keep in mind, a sizeable chunk of the money you make will be taken by the club as "fees". Factor in how much you will spend on gasoline commuting and maintenance costs to your vehicle. Working a mundane job might end up paying more money in the end. I have seen tons of new strippers over the past year at my local club. Most end up quitting after a week or two. This line of work is not for everyone. Many figure out the degradation is not worth what they are making or they can't compete with the better established girls, who may or may not be giving sexual favors. Weigh the good and the bad. Yeah the money can be great and tax-free, but also keep in mind you have to deal with drunks, stalkers, and guys that want to grab, finger, and lick you during private dances.

  Read the book Candy Girl by Diablo Cody. She goes into pretty good detail about how she got started and chose the places she worked at. [view link]

  1)read the reviews for the clubs your are considering 2) Think long and hard about how far you are willing to go and if that's compatible with the club 3) Visit club... at least where I'm a reg, management will give you a tour and a run down of operations

  I would also recommend [view link] I have never been to an Ohio club, so I can't help you there. But between here and SW, you should find plenty of help. Good luck and have fun!

  If you're really unsure, you can pick a club and try waitressing for a week. You'll find out soon enough if you're suited for that club. And I think you really need to visit Stripperweb as others have said. They have a huge section on newbie dancer info. Quite frankly, the regular posters on TUSCL are not typical of most guys that go to clubs - so while interesting, this may not be the best source of intel.

  sanitago-"for a "working" name, your screen name here wouldn't be a bad one" Bizarrely enough, Sunday night I made a visit to my local strip club and bought dances from a dancer named Blondie.

  Don't you have to work at a strip club to call yourself a stripper? I'm a rocket scientist by the way
