Average career span of dancers
Mr Dugan mentioned average career span of dancers is 2 years or less. Why is this? What makes the career lifespan so short, and what does this mean regarding dancers who have career spans of 5 years, 10 years or more?Got something to say?

I'll just add that, even for many of the girls who do get through the initial shock period, the job can burn a girl out quickly. IME it's a rare girl who makes it more than a few years in this business. Not only because of all the shit they need to handle from guys ITC, but also due to the high social and relationship costs.
If I was actually thinking in terms of a weighted average and factored in every girl who ever dipped her toes in for a few days and quit, I'd probably have guessed even lower. I once read a post on the pink site which put the average dancer career span at 6 months. That sounded low to me, but made more sense when including toe dunkers.
Oh and sometimes then you’re just sucked in. I know I was gonna quit sometime in spring 2019 and go find some white collar job or something, but whoops
I <strong>have</strong> seen a sharp increase in dayjob girls recently, both here and in a few travel destinations. Prior to the pandemic a solid majority of the dancers I met were dancing full time, but most of those girls are gone now, replaced by younger ones who are less inclined to rely solely upon dancing. It will be interesting to see if the current dynamic continues or if more girls will transition to dancing full time as the industry continues to recover.
Younger girls are going to be more drawn to cam sites and only fans. With dancing as a later option.
It's why talent is already down in clubs.

TIFFY you are welcome.
This strategy might not apply so much in a few tourist destination cities with many one-time visitors but will in most clubs frequented mostly by locals.
There are no statistics here. But a few points:
We tend to forget many, many dancers (who knows, maybe half) dance for a day, a few days, a couple of weeks before they quickly realize this is not the job for them. We never really notice them.
For those that do make a go of it, if you no longer see a dancer after a while, she may have moved to a new club. She may have moved to a new city and is dancing there. She may be in jail and will return afterwards. She may be having one of our babies and will return afterwards. Or, she may have moved on in her life. Or moved to a different form of sex work.
No way to tell if she quit dancing. All we know is she is not at that club any more.
That said no way 10 years is the average career. Purely a guess (see my post above) but for those that do not quit immediately I would guess 3-4 years, but the range stretches all the way to 20 years or more for a few.
One thing i have noted, my former favorite who was there over 5 years, broke a lot of rules in the dances. Maybe the more successful ones are more likely to do extras and Otc? I dont get repeat dances from someone if its the same thing each time
