Help! I Feel Intimidated By Strippers!
Tuesday, April 1, 2014 3:43 PM
I know that I like to talk like I'm a(n internet) tough guy around here and how people should "be a real mean" and "be in control", but, lately, I've done something I've rarely ever done before. Compared my talk with my actions. From it, I've come to conclusion that I feel intimidated by strippers. Consider the following -
For ten years I didn't have the cojones to "just ask" strippers if I could pay them for sex. I had to write The System, which is all about me projecting a false image of who I am. Wearing the suit. Being sly. Try to act like I was the Gordon Gekko I tried but failed to be. Rereading it is even a bit funny that I was so insecure, even around hookers, that I thought I had to pretend to be all that just to pay them for sex. Then I thought it was such an accomplishment the rather few times (35%) it actually happened, that I thought it was a real triumph when it was, of course, nothing.
Then there was the time I stayed at home for months on end on those nights when both my favorites were working. You see I was sacred that if one saw me talking to the other she would get mad, and that was not a situation I could deal with it.
So, yeah, I'm a total pussy. Is there anything I can do to feel less intimidated around strippers or am I condemned to always be a total pussy?
Got something to say?
