I would. The key issue is trust. If you can trust the person, then the profession shouldn't matter.

Absolutely not, the majority of people are too easily tempted and temptation runs rampant at strip clubs. I've known a few couples where the women stripped, in every scenario the woman was unfaithful. It's amazing how many options beautiful girls have already on top of whipping out those boobies, add that into the equation and there's always going to be a bigger better deal. The women who stripped would always say well your insecure and that's what lead me to cheat... oh i'm sorry for being insecure my dear, you only work at a f*cking strip club where ppl pay to see your no no and tah tahs.

In one scenario ( my next store neighbohrs) he ran the joint and she stripped, brook and brock. IT WAS A DISASTER. Both of them were sluts, both gave into temptation, and hence gold club shut down, he's arrested for cocaine (which flys around strip joints) and she commits suicide. It was so not lovely. On top of that, me personally... well I have a general distaste for women (or men) who can make more in 2 nights than I can in a week by being eye candy for sad men (or big women) without significant others. I could go on but I won't.

I used to work at a titty bar (as a cook) and it was without a doubt the most boring job I have ever had. It took about two days on the job for me to become wholly unmystified with the place. The dancers were just a bored as me and there to earn a living the same as me.

The dancers ate their dinners at the place, and I got to know some of them over the course of cooking for them. Early on I made the mistake of commenting to one of them that the business seemed to exploit women. She laughed at me like a hyena and said, "Honey, if there is any exploiting going on here, it's me exploiting my own self and I get paid damn well for it."

That job not only taught me a lot about the business of topless but also drove home some points I already knew about humanity. One dancer was paying her way through law school (and has been a lawyer now for going on 14 years) another had her own styling salon by day and danced at night, another sold six figures' worth of Avon annually, there was more than one single mother, another came to this country from Korea with nothing and used topless quite effectively to get her piece of the American dream. There were a few dopeheads there too but they never lasted very long.

I never dated any of the dancers when I worked there, but having been around them, I can say that it's just a job. As such, anyone who disrespects them for working is not only uninformed but prejudiced.

So yes, if I got to know a dancer on a personal level and was interested in her, I would date her.

We all have different experiences and therefore different views so in your eyes I guess I'm uninformed and prejudice. Thanks for not judging.

Having that opinion doesn't make him prejudiced. Strippers and porn stars KNOW ahead of time that they are going to be judged by their profession. And they still choose to do it. I doubt they need an online champion being a little rude to someone for expressing an opinion.

blakeman it is one thing to comment on negative experiences one has seen for themselves (as you did) and quite another to make blanket statements (as others did). It is the latter toward whom my comment was directed.

I don't champion those who work in adult entertainment, but I don't think it's fair for them to be bashed for it. My opinion about those lines of work is to be valued no more than anyone else's. I ought to have been more specific and I apologize to anyone who may have read it as rude.

I respect a woman who can make money with her mind more than a woman who does the easy thing- taking off her clothes for money. I'm not a prude but I fail to see any talent in that. Now if only I could get paid for dancing naked.

I've had a few friends who stripped and it's just a business. If you're going to date someone and going into it you KNOW they strip then you've really got no business telling someone how to live their life. On the other hand, I think that if it's something a current girlfriend/boyfriend is looking to get into to make a buck, it might be a harder pill to swallow.

The nakedness aside, the lifestyle (hours, atmosphere, people) wears you down pretty quickly.

I've dated 2 strippers. Don't do it. You're not allowed in the clubs when she's working. It just don't work....they're hired guns, not quality buns.

It IS a rough lifestyle. I'm not championing it. But a couple of things have to be recognized.
Some of these women are so athletic, they could be on some Olympic gymnastics teams.
As many know, but not enough do, some of these women are working their way through school---in Masters & even Doctorate programs. Not every doctor has a rich family to put them through school. Loans & grants help, but often that doesn't cover it.
Some stay completely clean through their temporary career (the quality ones I've known separate their craft/trade from their life goals).
Sure, Adult Entertainment Nightclubs are only a locally-regulated industry. But it IS an industry. And it benefits from discretionary funds some who enjoy dance & art are able & willing to fuel it. Of course it gets a bad rap. It's edgy. It draws from the masses, & you're going to get issues here & there.
If one is going to be a casual part-time consumer, I think it's a great idea to select only the classiest places. For example, a 5-Star Steakhouse/Gentleman's Club with a National Chain
owned by an entertainment conglomerate.
Why do I suggest that? Because the Customer Service & Quality Control/Security is
very good. Tends to be outstanding. The average Joe or Jane gets treated like a millionaire.
Makes for a pleasant visit, and repeat business.
Now, that's not saying I don't want Joe-Blow in JerkwaterTown to make a decent living with his 10 girls. That's their right & privilege. But, since this is a world-wide forum (well almost),
I'm sharing my thoughts to the majority. Well, I've taken enough space 4 now.

Not a male stripper. But I could go for a female stripper. I think female strippers are very beautiful and they can take care of themselves.

That would be a hard one. I haven't nor have I had the urge. I haven't really seen anything I would care to have. I tend to stay out of those places and away from those people though if I ran into one who knows what would happen. Though the thought of my man hood rotting off would be a pretty big factor in my decision.

Stripping is a job, a lot of the girls are good people ,too. If you have the "skills to pay the bills" why should it bother a person if that was her profession=)

Typically, I don't find the average male stripper attractive. They are rather scary looking, to me, and I suspect they might not be into females anyway.

Depends on what type of guy he is.. It's a matter of trust .. You can date a "safe" white collar dude who is a cheatin leering sleezeball at work or a stripper who regards it as only a job thats it and not there to screw around.

The only type of man I would never date is a hunter.. no question

You say don't judge people by their jobs??? thats the nature of society is to judge, pre judge.people get judged all the time, if one chooses to strip you take the good with the bad including people judging or looking at you from a not so favorable light.

Only if it was temporary and the money earned is being put to a good cause. Otherwise, no.

My short answer is. Hell no. LOL

My long answer comes from experience and a philosophical point of view.

I dated a stripper. Ten years ago. She like most lead a double life. The one they want you to think they live, and the one they actually live.

Yes they do get too close to the drug culture among other things. For various reasons. One big one is generally they resent men. The one I was with wanted to meet a man like me, one that never stepped foot in a strip club (and she still resented me because I was a man). I say that tongue in cheek, but it's based on truth.

She used a dating agency to meet me. Now don't get me wrong, I dated her. I was curious and of course loved a killer body as much as the next guy, but I do have a head on my shoulders and eventually the charade came down on her. I moved on, she did not. What I mean is I left her, moved to Atlanta in fact. She stayed the course of drugs and such for years on end. Only last year did she finally try to clean up. Four attempts at nursing school ended due to the strip club lifestyle. Which was more than drugs.

Oh and as for why I wouldn’t go to a strip club. A couple reasons. Why tease myself over someone I can't sleep with? They would never respect me (maybe my money) but never really desire me. And frankly, I've found strippers here on POF contact me for dates and it was more of the same (insecurity). I say this because one lied about her job and I found out later. These are women with serious issues. Mainly insecurity. And guys, if you really must know, sex especially with a stripper offers no excitement. Boring.

I'd rather get to know someone real, flaws and all and what we do then is worth something. Again, I'm no prude, I love a great body, it just needs to be attached to a brain.

Now I'm certain a stripper will read this and take pen to paper in protest. Please, don't waste your time. I know what I know and if you are the lone exception, that star in the sky, then congrats, some guy will step forward and you can laugh your ass off at me.

The fact is, I'm leery of any woman with photos of herself laying on a car, or wearing a Hooters outfit etc... And you should be too. If you just want a lay, go for it. But these women are not looking for a lay. They are looking for a rich guy to take care of them and when you have them, you'll be miserable as they will not always be hot looking but they'll always be shallow. So if I can make sense to any guy reading this, don't sell yourself out. Date and have fun but know the real score when it comes to women that stand on their looks.

Unlikely, I couldn't envision myself with someone who takes their clothes off for strange men for a living. No thanks.
