The Pink Site: 10 Dancer Truths
motorhead
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life
Just in case anyone has neither the time nor the inclination to visit the Pink site (www.stripperweb.com), let me summarize all you need to know. This is what I have gleaned from the thousands of dancer comments:
1. It's all about the money.
2. Let me say it again, IT's ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.
3. Men are disgusting pigs.
4. Feel free to look, but don't touch.
5. Men will always want more. Ulimately, all SC patrons will want sex.
6. Dancers live in an exaggerated world of fear.
7. Dancers fear for their safety, even from their regulars.
8. Sometimes, especially from their regulars.
9. Did I say it is all about the money?
10. Size matters.

Seems on target except for No. 6. Dancers have a job that is more dangerous than serving on the front lines of Iraq without all the bennies. Dancers are always under paid, under appreciated, over worked, sexually harassed and physically abused by male misogynists run amuck. An occasional rare perk for the dancer is a cute lesbian needing erotic servicing.
Oh they did back off the anti-touch when I explained that I wouldn't go to a stripclub and spend all money in that case because I can see even prettier women over the internet a hell of a lot cheaper. And, if you're into talk well the internet offers that also. And, it is more environmentally friendly! :) The big benefit of strip clubs to me is the contact with young attractive women. No contact and my money goes elsewhere real quick. Heck, maybe even into savings or something stupid like that. Surprising they were able to comprehend this.
I'm thinking it's a pretty safe bet to assume that #10 is a corollary to numbers 1,2 and 9-- that being the only size that matters in a SC is the the size of the lapdancee's wallet.
1. fat, middle aged hags going commando trying to DFK every dancer that will come near them
2. angry, insecure girlfriends dragged into the club who sit there and hate on all the dancers
3. crazy drunk sorority girls desperately looking to take all of the attention away from the dancers for themselves.
While those types all do exist, they are not representative of ALL female custies, no more than the negative descriptions that the pink site places on most (if not all) male patrons.
They bag on ALL of us constantly over there. One of the main reasons that I removed SW's addy from my bookmarks. Forever.
If they think it sucks so bad, don't be a dancer..
Yes the job is about money, just like any job is, would any of us really put in a bunch of hours, be away from our kids, and not enjoy hobbies as much as we would like if we didn't have to work..
To me, you take the good and bad days, you deal with stupid drunken assholes some days, and others you come across a good guy would just wants some dances and entertainment and pays you well for it..
I've made some great regulars along the way, ran into some guys who love me to death and they just annoy the hell out of me all the while I am smiling for them..
They just need to suck it up shut up, and just do the job or don't over there on the pink site and get over themsevles...
Seriously, if you are going on an industry insider messageboard you can expect to read things that are indicative of the reality of that industry. The site isn't for you, the strip club customer. It is for dancers and other members of that industry.
We spend our working hours making you guys feel good about yourselves. When you pay us, we give you that fantasy. We do our jobs well, and most of us enjoy the work. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't go anonymously into a network of other dancers and industry insiders to vent, network, and chat freely in a non-judgmental environment.
It's funny how you don't seem to think dancers should be venting about our customers, but you openly insult us all over here. I've only read through a few threads and have seen your comments about how most dancers have the "intelligence of a frog" and other digs about how stupid we all are. Its pretty hypocritical to sit and get worked up over us telling the truth on OUR OWN MESSAGEBOARD while disparaging us at the same time.
Oh, and your "truths" 1-5 are pretty right on. The bit about us being afraid of our customers is laughable, but go ahead and think that if it makes you feel good about yourselves. And I think I speak for all of us when I say we couldn't care less about your size. We care about the size of the men we are fucking, but since that's not you you don't have to worry about it! lol
Advice: don't read the thread if you don't like it. Seems pretty simple.
By the way while you are at it, how about moving to Russia, they don't have a 1st ammendment and freedom on speech. Then you can dictate there what and what not people can say, read, and write about
As for why I found SW amusing to read at one time, but was somewhat critical, to me it reads like a parallel universe of what I've found clubs to be like. In a decade of clubbing I've found most clubs offer some level of contact, many more than is allowed by law. Most dancers will allow customers to touch them, if the tips are good, and many will initiate the contact if they think it will help sell more dances. I can't count the number of times a dancer has pulled my hand to her breast during a lapdance, basically to let me know I'm allowed to touch if I want. In many clubs I've been to the lapdances are performed with a specific happy ending in mind. That's my experience. To say it doesn't seem to be reflected on SW by the dancers would be an understatement.
If the topic is relevant to strip clubs, I don't see why the hell it matters how or where the original thought or topic began
I've actually noticed that some of the best threads on Strip Club List have derived as reactions to issues brought up first on Stripperweb
