Strippers Need Love Too

Okay:

So, the question of the day is 'Would You Date A Stripper?'

I'm probably the wrong person to ask. I have a fairly unique perspective on strippers and strip clubs. My personal opinion is, unless it's one of those really nasty ones where anything goes, strip clubs are pretty much pointless and nothing to get excited about. By virtue of this, stripping just seems like a silly thing to do for a living. Not nasty, not dirty--just silly.

Also, and I hope not to offend any of my readers who are strippers or have stripped, I think electing exotic dancing as a means to generate income speaks to your self-concept and value system.

Basically, you let men gawk at your genitals while you gyrate as to simulate sex and pretend to be aroused...to music. For a little somethings extra, you may sit in his lap and rub your genitals on his genitals, dry humping as it were...to music.

So, I take it back. It is nasty.

Maybe not dirty. But certainly nasty.

So would I date a stripper? Probably.

Go ring shopping and take her home to meet mom and big sis? She'd have to be one charming fucking stripper. But perhaps.

Still, I think I'd have to evolve to a Buddha-like level of objectivity and general detachment. I just can't imagine how it would work out logistically.

She comes home after her shift at 4 in the morning, all sweaty and covered with glitter. "So, honey. How many people do you think saw your pussy tonight?"

"Well, I only made $500 so I'd estimate 50 or so."

"Well, get ready for 51! Hey, is that a greasy fingerprint on your ass?"

"Probably."

"Cool."


The truth, of course, is a lot of strippers are just normal people. It's a job for them. Hell, somebody's gotta do it. But I think most of these 'nice girl' strippers would tell you that their co-workers are pretty fucked up on average. A lot of them are on drugs and/or whore on the side.

How do you know so much about strippers, Cee Brown? you ask.

I plead the fifth.

Now, male strippers (*pause to vomit in my mouth a bit*) are another story entirely. My opinion here is that at least 90% of them are gay. Nothing wrong with that of course, but I think the ladies should know this in case they were under any illusions about running off with Officer Hardcock. If he tells you he doesn't go anywhere without his partner Jim, take the hint.

Any woman foolish enough to date a male stripper must know that she is likely to end up on a small claims court television show, trying to get $1500 in "loans" back from Leonardo DiBlackrio.

Would I ever strip? No. From what I understand, the straight ones have to be unreasonably comfortable in their skin.

But if I had the body for it, I'd consider posing nude. It'd have to be tasteful though. And artsy. Call Annie Leibovitz.


Thanks for reading.

Innocent Question: If you were dating a stripper and you proposed, would it be unreasonable to expect her to quit before the wedding?

No, because she could work my bachelor party for free.

Stripping, hmmmm, something i never did in public, and yet been offered huge sums of money to paricipate...okay that was at an early age mind you...but when i first arrived in my fair city, broke, looking for a job, etc...i took a bus downtown, and in the interim between job searching, intervies an such, i decided to rest my heels in at a trendy hotel lobby with waterfalls and such...when approached by a sr citizen (yeah he was that old) about a new job opportunity, one where i could make up to $600 to $1000 a night. I was like, hell yeah i'm interested...when i asked what i would be doing, he said, just going out to dinner and...left that hanging...i'm like i can get paid like that for going out to dinner, shit, eating and that's all...well he said, not all. It took me a moment to get the gist of things...and i realized what he wanted me to do was be an escort. At this time, i had 30 cent in my pocket, a pass to return home and was hungry as hell, so he gave me his card an i contemplated, make money, make money being a whore...or find a real job...I mean, i gave it away for free, getting paid for it can't be that difficult, right? Right? Wrong! Suffice it say, i found a real job. I got some dignity dammit...but i sure could have used that $600.

Dignity is always a good thing. I don't really know any chicks that haven't considered stripping at some point and time or another, but it was usually about money. I only knew two that just wanted to be nakie and swinging on poles for the hell of it. But they didn't date men either. Anyways, yeah I think said stripper should quit before the wedding to answer the question. But I'm not the one marrying her. If her man was cool with it before he bought the ring then he might as well leave well enough alone.
