Stripped Bare- Surviving the Industry: The Good, Bad and Downright Ugly Truth

I've often asked many women which they would rather have; would they rather have him go to the strip club or a regular bar, with the "boys"? Most women immediately choose the latter.. Here's the thing, his chances of finding a girl to sleep with are GREATER at any average bar than they are at the strip club. Ladies, we're there to get paid to give him blue balls; after that, he's all yours, and we've already forgotten his name. The only thing we want that's in his pants is his wallet! That brings us to girl 1, the most common, and most obnoxiously frustrating female.. 1) "The Babysitter" This is the girl who comes in with her man so she can watch him and make sure he "behaves". Typically this girl is like stripper repellent because we don't want that drama and it's not like she'll "allow" her man to spend any money.. Sometimes if I'm feeling bitchy and a girl's snarl is annoying enough, I WILL go ov...

There's an acronym taught in every Economics class in every school everywhere; TINSTAAFL- There Is No Such Thing As A Free Lunch... Can someone relay that message to the gentlemen who visit clubs? Anymore, it seems, the harder you work, the less you have to show for it.

Before anyone comes back with bullshit responses like, "Then get a real job", or, "Then why do you do it?", let me say this; ANY JOB THAT PAYS MONEY IS A REAL JOB! I've never been paid with Monopoly money.. Now, back to my original point. It's just common sense that you tip your waitress and that dancers work for cash. So being cheap isn't goi...

Some say everything in life is a choice while others continuously insist they have little to no choices. Some believe our choices ultimately define our happiness or our misery. Some say choices that seem right end up being all wrong. There's some truth in all points of view but all have varying levels of judgment behind them. Telling someone to choose to be happy isn't always the best advice; there's a time and place, depending on circumstance. However, it is never really wrong to advise someone that making a difficult choice COULD ultimately lead to blissful happiness; this leaves room for error and also allows someone to be less likely to blame themselves if things don't go as planned, or hoped. That said, I found myself in a rough situation the summer of 2013; I was homeless, living on a campground (with showers THANK GOD!!), and had no other choice but to dig up my dancer bag and go back to my home club, even though I thought I was done dancing; my dancer bag ha...
