Well well well ... Surprising SW thread

babb--->"Why is this in hustle hut??? Because our attitudes about our customers effects our hustle more than anything. If we hate our customers and have shit attitudes about them, we burn out and we attract negative customers or boring customers which leads to MORE burn out and more frustration and exhaustion. One of the most draining aspects of our job is the emotional aspect - it can be exhausting and draining constantly chatting up guys who are boring, rude or just fucking strange. But, I'm here to tell y'all that it doesn't have to be emotionally exhausting. It can be energizing and fun! And guys come to see strippers that make them feel good, whatever that may mean to them! The better our attitudes towards our customers, the more money we make, the more customers feel good, the more customers come in, the more money we make, the happier *we* are because we aren't burnt out all the time, the more money we make... you get the picture." --->

Well call me pig and roll me in the mud. I'm with babb. In a place overflowing with bullshit, one thing that always stood out to me was the absolute bullshit excuse of SW girls' behavior of "this is our support site, we're venting". A little venting CAN be therapeutic now and then. But that's not what goes on there -- the environment is absolutely toxic, girls pushing each other into deeper and deeper bitterness while cheering on unethical and often-illegal behavior by strippers, and building an almost-militant and toxic view of customers. There's almost nothing healthy about the place, and "it's our support site" doesn't change that, only a complete moron would believe that's an explanation or excuse for anything. I don't expect all sunshine and smiles, being a stripper is hard...

Anyway, lecture over, let's see what babb and the SW girls have to say.

babb-->"1. All of my customers are human beings. That means that they have human issues, suffer from human problems, have human emotions and experiences.
2. 2. Customers are in the strip club to see STRIPPERS. Whether or not they are in to see me specifically is up to them, but that has nothing to do with how I treat them. Every customer comes in because they want to see the girls. I can appreciate that people come in to see gorgeous, naked dancing women, because I am one, and that makes my job worthwhile. 3. Every customer comes in because they want to feel better. From that basic understanding, I can figure out what it is that will make them feel the best and give it to them. 4. Customers LOVE women! 5. I love the smiles on their faces after they tip girls on stage or get a lap dance or a VIP!! I love how much fun these guys can have, just being entertained by my presence or watching me play with my boobs! " ---->

Not bad, babb, not bad. But let's see if your compadres play along.

miss.a.p1600-->"There actually are threads like this but I don't think they get enough attention as the ranty ones. I created one a while back on "green flag" phrase - good postive things you hear customers say and I'm sure there are many other ones too.
But good reminder to be grateful for the guys that know how to treat women in the adult Industry well " -->

Well that's surprising ... miss.a.p1600 is routinely one of the nastiest and most bitter stripper on SW, and that's saying something. But apparently there's a real person underneath all that!

ScarlettKitten-->"I appreciate the really generous customers who are also fun and interesting. I genuinely enjoy making men feel good and getting paid for it. I'm really grateful that stripping is a source of income, and for the good customers that exist." ---->

DonaDiabla-->"Actually, I love this thread I do not get burn out from doing sex work after almost 14 years. Sex work is fun and creative to me. Personally, I enjoy customers who understand that sex work is not about romance nor true love. My customers come to have a great time and be entertained. I give them a great time and always perform to the best of my abilities. " --->

OMG is it getting a little dusty in here? My eyes are getting all watery ...

Props to babb for having the guts to start such a thread in SW!
