I'll put myself in the young guys category, I'm in my early 20's. After reading some discussion threads about dating a stripper, it got me thinking about why we want to date strippers. I used to want to date a stripper, but now I now just stick to fucking strippers.
There was this ATF that I thought was the perfect girl. She was incredibly nice, sweet, beautiful. We were around the same age. She really opened up to me and shared some personal things that she probably wouldn't share with her best friends. We enjoyed a lot of the same things. Of course the dances were unbelievable too. We shared a mutual attraction. At that time, all this stuff made me not care if she was a stripper. I liked the fact that I had a girl that every guy in the strip club wanted to fuck. I wanted to date her, and I ended up dating her. When I started dating her everything changed. She had told me about some of her problems before, but with dating her I found out she had a lot more serious problems. All her stripper friends had boyfriends who were drug dealers or unemployed or working a shitty job. Everything was stressful in our relationship. She was living a double life, so most people she knew had no idea she stripped, and she would lie when they asked what she does for a career. Everything in her life was about money. It became too much for me, and I broke it off. I've dated a couple other strippers that were like this relationship.
I think that when us young guys see a stripper that's our age and there's mutual attraction, some of us want to date the strippers. From my experiences, it's better to stick to fucking the strippers (even if it's P4P). It's a lot less drama.
