Reasons strippers work in strip clubs

Feb 6, 2026, 4:31 PM

I asked a young stripper last night to do a couple lap dances with me and then watched her for the next hour talking to a couple of guys her age. Having been in strip clubs hundreds of times, I have often seen girls do this and many times it is not something that ends with a lap dance sale. However, they do not do it for very long. Either they start to focus on making money so they can pay their bills or, if they can't force themselves to spend time with the guys who have money to spend, leave and get another job.

How common do you think this use of a strip club for female socializing is? What are some other categories of strippers not there to make money selling lap dances and how frequent is that? For example, they might like dancing on stage, dressing up, getting offered free drinks, getting offered free drugs, gossiping with the other strippers and other things I have not noticed.

At Rhode Island Dolls this is par for the course. Even if the dancer I want is sitting with a table filled with young guys, she'll be over. They have yet to figure out that a few cocktails, conversation and hanging with the massage girls is preferable to me at this point in my life.

I think it is quite frequent. In addition to your categories, I would include those seeking attention in the mix. They can walk around the club in their underwear, talk to guys who show interest and basically exchange their sex appeal for attention. They're on an ego trip. All this is done in a protected environment.

I talked to one girl that was on her first day working as a shot girl in a strip club. It was the only position they would offer her. She had lost her civilian job as a para legal and needed the money.

Sometimes a dancer's behavior depends on how much money she's already made that night or that week. Let's say it's a Saturday night and she already made bank on Thursday and Friday. She might be more inclined to just hang out with guys her age than work the floor for more dances, especially if it's an alcohol club and those guys are buying her drinks.

I used to visit a non-alcohol 18+ club. In the evenings, the young strippers would spend a lot of time talking to the young men, who were obviously on a budget. So I more often visited afternoons. The women were older and there to make money, meaning serving customers.
