The Sinclairs were sitting around the Thanksgiving last year. We shared turkey, stuffing, cranberries, and yams while catching up and telling stories. My cousin shared a story of how he went to a gentlemen’s club near him. He is a drug addict with no money because he spends it all on dope. A dancer came around to him after getting off of the stage and asked him for a tip. He said, “Why would I tip you?” She said, “Because I was just dancing on stage.” He said, “I am not going to tip you. You are fat and ugly. Go away.”
I will admit that I would love to tell some of these dancers that they are fat pigs, but I bite my tongue and try to be relatively polite. After I turn down overweight dancers' offers for private dances and they won't take no for an answer, I will sometimes say something like: ‘You are not my body type.’ Sometimes this sets off an angry reaction.
It is crazy to me how many fat women are working in strip clubs in 2025 versus twenty years ago. You would think if your job and earnings are so heavily tied to how your body looks, more dancers would be regularly going to the gym. If you want to be fat, go work in a factory or get a job in an office. I remember in the old days, the top gentlemen’s club would refuse to hire women who were anything over ten pounds too heavy. Nowadays, it seems almost all clubs are so desperate to put meat on the stage, they will hire anything that has tits and a vagina.
Have you ever fat shamed a dancer?
I have never fat shamed a dancer but there has been three or four times they tried to shame me by saying things like "this isn't a free show". I have spent large sums of money in strip clubs but always on dancers I find attractive. It eventually occurs to the unattractive ones that they can't bully, pressure or shame enough customers into giving them money so they can make a living as a stripper. Then they leave.
