Why Do Women Go Into Stripping?
shailynn
They never tell you what you need to know.
With the recent passing of Dakota Skye it made me think why do women go into stripping? I know she was a porn star but I figured this was related. I thought about it and put them into 3 categories. I know I’m probably missing several.
1. No discipline - I know several strippers that could never hold a normal job because they could never adhere to a schedule. Getting away showing up sporadically to work when they feel like it is the way they make money. I can’t think of any other job that would allow this. I know some clubs keep strict schedules for dancers but many do not. At some if you show up to work the only requirements are your tip outs and you have to stay a minimum and in some cases a maximum amount of hours.
2. Fast easy money with no requirements. A lot of strippers claim working as a stripper is fast easy money (mostly untaxed) that really only requires them to be attractive and sometimes that is even negligible. No education, special degree or training certificate or skill set needed. The same could be said for many other jobs out there but let’s face it, a young attractive girl is more likely to make more money stripping than working at Applebee’s all while likely working less hours during the week.
3. Eye on the prize, best way to reach goal. Not all strippers are unorganized or uneducated. The best example I have for this is a girl quit her low paying job, lost weight, got in shape and became a stripper at age 30. Her goal is to make enough money over the next decade, save enough to pay for a house in cash, have a small nest egg, and go back to the previous low paying job (which was an elementary school teacher) but with no house payment and some savings she would be able to live comfortably on a teachers salary without the worry of finding a spouse helping with expenses. Her reasoning for stripping was it was the fastest and easiest way for her to achieve that “financial independence” so to speak. She would normally work 5-6 days a week being inside the club a minimum of 40 hours a week. She treated it like a 9-5 job just as many other well organized strippers do.

The problem is that there often isn't an exit plan it's hard for an attractive 21-yr-old to understand the brutal truth that her irresistible physical attractiveness fades so quickly and that all the bald grandpas in the club will simply go on to the next young thing in the club.
I recognize Dakota Skye's picture and she was a nearly perfect physical specimen. What a sad shame that her life ended so early -- eaten up, spit out, and exploited by the system.
Yeah that's when a girl gets the ultimate prize, it's called marriage. lol
But I some ideas about factors that are evidently unimportant to women who become strippers:
* high social prestige;
* hefty matching employer contributions to their 401K plans;
* medical and dental benefits;
* on-site company fitness center and childcare facility;
* paid vacation;
* paid maternity leave;
* progressive, rigorously enforced anti-sexual harassment policy.
Some are actually working through college and using it as a bridge to a legitimate career.
Some love how it makes them feel desired by men and gives them control.
@Reverend, I saw one bring an 8-10 year old boy roaming around a club. Not sure if he was a dancer's daughter but definitely out of place.
If this was at Club Desire, that kid is Gerard's son (Gerard being the club's owner). No joke, I believe he stops in every so often after school. And, yeah, it's a bit weird. He'll typically hang out for 15 to 20 minutes talking to the staff and dancers. I think he eventually winds up in the offices somewhere. That kid is going to have some interesting stories to tell when he's an adult.
When a 9 to 5 can't pay the bills and isn't stable enough
An expensive drug habit
Pimps will get hookers jobs at clubs coz its easy to get tricks there. Safer than the stroll.
@ICEE, how do you know, do you beat them if they're lying? I doubt your math is any better than your semi-literate posts.
Tetradon ... I was told by a bartender that Gerard's kid is the only kid allowed inside the club. For long-time dancers, it's possible that exceptions would be made for emergencies. But, generally, if you see a kid in Desire, it's Gerard's son.
No one tells a customer their job sucks and they don't enjoy it. When they tell you they fuck old men for money coz they kive sex of love being groped by strangers. Yeah they're not telling you the truth.
She's nothing but a two-bit dealer that takes advantage of junkie strippers. This is how she knows strippers. 🤦
So there’s hundreds of thousands of women that are currently stripping for a living you know a dozen or so yet you are able to discern the motivation for the hundreds of thousands, that’s amazing stuff they’re monolithic according to you.
Strippers are often treated as celebrities by their women "friends" in the civie world. Gloated over to there face than ridiculed behind their backs.
Strippers out in the civie world often dress sexy and have designer clothes.
Very enticing for attractive civies that really have no idea what the stripper has to do to make good money.
What other job can you do bring hole that kind of bacon in cash in one night? Drinking, partying, dancing. I think the better question is why the hell don’t I get into to stripping?
Muddy. The money isn't stable though. There's nights they lose money. Slow nights. Most don't budget accordingly
Actually that's a question you should be asking yourself, your thinking is retarded, especially if you believe you can extrapolate the few girls you actually know, and make blanket statements about all other females with the same occupation not only is that presumptuous on your part it's flawed in the extreme.
See how smart the 2 of you are
Hell, why do you hang out here around everyone you hold in contempt? Are you a glutton for punishment, or just haven't found an appropriate "pimp" board?
That isn't anywhere close to anything I have ever said, I guarantee hookers don't love fucking broke losers that think they're pimps, it takes a special kind of stupid to pull off your totally inane persona, and think that anyone here actually takes them seriously. You are a complete joke.
25. Your person on here is a debonair rich man but you come across like a whiny bitch
When they come home they never talk about tricks. They take long showers and don't want to be touched while they decompress from work. How many will say showering after work is the best part of their job. Its hard. It's fast money but definitely not easy money
Do you think you're influencing people, when between your screen names, you are the most ignored member of this board?
LOL when you post stupidity like that I realize how jealous you really are
I pity you fool
BTW look at any "interview" with a girl here or on StripperWeb. Doesn't comport with your experiences.
I donate to several charities that help the mentally retarded; it balances out.
Did she "date" you for your drugs?
In fact, just get off the board entirely. No one regards you as anything other than a punching bag.
I take back the "hates you," everyone holds you in contempt. You don't even rise to the level of "hated."
If he kept my name out of his mouth, we wouldn't have problems.
Hard to know what a dancer really makes – but perhaps one can assume it’s similar to most sales-jobs where some do alright/well-enough and some make a killing (depending on the job, industry, person) – I assume an avg dancer in an avg club could pull the equivalent of $50k to 75k per year which is fairly-middle-class especially in many non-coastal-areas; and if she has a working S.O. then they can live alright – I assume an attractive dancer, working in good club, who works consistently, can probably pull $100k/yr or a more; and a few that are very-attractive; know how to hustle, and work in very-good clubs, can probably pull $150k+/yr – again these are assumptions on my part and dancer-earnings are likely all over-the-place; we’ve all being in clubs were it seems dancers can’t sell a single-dance; or where some dancers are unable to sell dances like other girls; and just as well we’ve been in clubs where certain dancers seem to be constantly in demand and busy w/ paying customers.
My point is that an attractive-dancer in a good club can earn what a well-paying white-collar person earns (doctor, etc) w/ no requirements/skills other than being attractive and willing to hustle at the stripper-game – and an avg dancer w/ no particular skills nor schooling can still earn a good-amount more than what other people in that boat earn; and this is likely the main-reason most girls take the plunge – and then there are other reasons such as flexible scheduling; sitting on your ass if you feel like it that day; partying; drinking and drugs; and for a good #, not being able to adhere to the requirements/demands of a typical/normal job.
Girls who do extras ruin it for girls who don't. Being an okay looking girl at a non extras club will be easier money than being a hot girl at an extras club.
The type of customers a club has is important. Touristy clubs. Black clubs. Clubs with blue collar guys. I've seen blue collar clubs be the most stable. Easiest to get regulars. Guys will come in regularly when they get paid. Black clubs can have great one off nights but the earnings aren't stable. Girls will make a bag on a Friday or Saturday though. Touristy clubs are great during convention season otherwise a hit or miss.
I think all girls lie about how much they really make. But its all over the place. I was with my ex for 5 years almost. She had ayear where she made $15,000 and one where she made $80,000. On average it was like $43,000 though.
A lot of girls live beyond their means. And they need someone to cosign for their apts cars. And those people end up getting screwed over. They do it coz their entire sense of self validation gets tied to money.
Maybe it will surprise you to know a lot of strippers have college degrees, a lot have investments, houses, good credit scores etc lol....A LOT even have a second job and often times it is a career.
We are doing this job
F O R T H E M O N E Y.
There is no other reason
I did a rough estimate of how much she was bringing in yearly and I guessed around 300k conservertly. This was before tip outs.
She was outstanding and I miss her Everytime I visit.
Oh yes, English was her second language.
There are many reasons and situations and I'm sure most strippers fall into one or more of the categories being discussed.
I do agree a big driver is the for girls just out of high school (especially in areas with mediocre education) is they are ill prepared for anything more than minimum wage jobs. Add to that being a single mom or some other reason to need that advanced earning capability right now. There are very few jobs where the right new hire can shoot right to the top of earnings.
I know most of you are old lonely men who are behind on the times, but perhaps be a little more open-minded and realize that most strippers are a lot smarter than you give us credit for.
While steeerotype reasons exist for a reason, those that were brought up above fall into a large minority. I will give one of the commenters props in speaking of illegal immigrants who can't get a job elsewhere though.
Otherwise, have you considered many of us are portraying a character in order to attempt to empty wallets?
Are you more likely to spend money on a dumb hoe, or very well educated and articulated female? Totally rhetorical.
Please look outside your echo chambers.
Oops! Rong account.
Its fast money but not easy money. It takes a huge psychological toll.
Many of us prefer the latter. We find intelligent conversation enjoyable no matter the age. We find the dumb hoe act a turnoff.
Comfy in that echo chamber, dear?
It’s Icee’s newest troll persona (Araxie) gave herself away by her reference to l old lonely men it’s not from another site/group
It’s Trap Baby’s sister
So, could it be Icee?... sure. But it could also be a dancer who felt like scolding a bunch of customers.
No It’s definitely our resident pimp/loser/moralizer/misogynist
Don’t you think his response was enough proof
OK junior
Not really. I mean, I still think it could be, but Icee isn't the only person who comes here to disparage customers, even if he does spend more time than anyone else doing that and only that. And I think he's perfectly happy to leverage another user's post to stir shit in any given thread.
In any case, I think it's impossible to answer what motivates women to dance beyond the obvious, which is "for money". I think that there are as many motivations as there are dancers, and trying to get it all to fit within a few defined columns is a fun debate on a titty bar website, but not much can be expected beyond that.
I just know that I'd be disappointed if they all suddenly decided not to dance. That would suck.
No one here denies it's all about money.
Keep going. Please.
It's actually adorable.
I suspect that it's harder today for dancers to have vanilla jobs while also dancing. It used to be that all they had to do was get a job at a club a couple of hours from home and they were relatively safe. Now, with social media, an dancer is always one hashtag away from being found out by her peers at a regular job.
The best was one claiming to be in an MD/PhD program. Whatever.
I'm sure you realize most of us don't go to strip clubs for the same reason you do.
Why are you here?
I've never believed that his depiction of himself has anything to do with reality. It's all a persona intended to get people spun up over ... nothing. But I guess if that puts a breeze up his shorts, then have at it.
Cim go face fuck tetradon and 20fag and leave me out of your mouth bitch.
All you idiots do is troll every thread I post in. Thats why you're here
Why are you on TUSCL? Is the pimping business that slow?
It was on the escorting subReddit where we were discussing the hobbyists having fun subReddit. Someone mentioned this thread specifically. I found out about this site from the Strippers Only subReddit last month though.
Why are you here, hanging out all day with people who you don't like and don't like you?
https://www.reddit.com/r/escorting/
Giving that idiot the benefit of the doubt is a self defeating proposition
But, ultimately, even if I come to believe that they're the same person, the revelation that someone is running a sock puppet (or ten...) on TUSCL isn't earth shattering news.
You came late to this thread just like every place else, no one was paying attention to your existence
You make the stupid claim we are trolling you, as usual,the evidence speaks for itself, go to the beginning of this post and tell us who came on here with the troll remark
We all were here already, you jumped in with your usual lack of respect and started this dumpster fire, now you start whining like a little bitch because you're getting your ass kicked yet again, you are no one here has the slightest bit of regard for you, in fact I bet, if you were on fire no one here would even bother to piss on you.

Short answer - sex sells
Is it coz you have to compete with them for GFE?
Or is it coz you know what your sister does with them?
I knew a girl that graduated law school with no student loan debt by stripping at Rick's in Houston. At the time it was good money at a clean non-extras club that gave the flexibility needed for classes and studying.
Having said that high end clubs tend to be the exception, not the norm. I suspect the percent of dancers over all with professional degrees is less than the general population. In the mid-tier to dive clubs I have frequented over the past couple of decades, You find far more addicts or bipolar dancers than you do college students / grads.
I knew 1 stripper who got a degree in international business. Saved up her stripper money and bought a subway franchise near a subway stop in Manhattan.
I know quite a few girls who studied to be dental hygienists and medical assistants only to realize they can't live off the money they were making. Between $12 to $17 and hour. Many have kids or younger siblings they take care of. Moms who can't get jobs. Im proud of their hustle.
"Not to glamorize sex work or whatever but making a living wage working 15 hours a week is why I’m in this industry. Free time and the money to spend this time how I want is the ultimate luxury."
Here is her Twitter and please note I don't follow her. I came across it through a retweet: https://mobile.twitter.com/prolepeach

With a likely tip (OFMONEY).
I know a few girls that actually did strip to pay for college.
I know a few girls that strip because it was fast money and they had an exit strategy so it worked.
I know a girl that worked for 10 years, invested well and built a house on the water on the Cape for cash. (I hooked her up with a dependable builder)
I know some girls that hate the job but have no other skills and a child to take care of.
I know girls that just love the attention and the power.
I know some girls that just want to be a hoe.
There is a story as different as the girls that are doing it.
