Dating strippers: Cool or not so hot?
We’re not ashamed to admit that the thought of dating an exotic dancer has crossed our minds, on occasion. Look at it this way: She’s confident, experienced and not afraid to be a real woman — in the bedroom or elsewhere. Strippers pride themselves on having great physiques, which they maintain to a tee, and they’ve got less hair on their entire bodies than Britney had on her shaved head.But — and this is a rather large “but” — all those great things aside, could you make a dancer your full-time girlfriend? Sure, she’s sexy and has some jaw-dropping outfits for the bedroom, but could you bring her home to mom?
Ironically, I ran across this article while doing some research for a post a few weeks ago (THIS ONE) and tucked it away to address later. Why I say ironically is because after meeting the oh-so-hot Thirteen/Amy Winehouse girl this past weekend who is an exotic dancer, this seemed fitting to discuss.
I’ve never actually talked candidly with someone who is an exotic dancer. I mean I’ve talked to them while IN a gentleman’s club, but that is very different then in a social setting where you are kicked back, buying each other drinks, talking about each others lives. You know? My fairly vanilla sister, who has never been in a strip club of any kind, was fascinated. Which, it was very enlightening and interesting to say the least!
Her boyfriend and her had recently broken up. I have no idea why really. But between this article and then our night with her, it got me thinking. I would imagine it might be difficult to be in a relationship with a stripper/dancer. I think you would have to be very secure with yourself to not let her (I guess it could be a ‘him’ too, huh?) clients/job threaten/bother you.
Could you date a stripper?
That said, it wouldn’t bother *me*. I don’t judge people, I don’t care what their occupation is. So I wouldn’t have a problem telling other people. I try to look at all angles and not be jealous of situations. I think I do a pretty good job…not saying I don’t have my moments. But as long as I felt secure in *us* I think it would be fine. It’s a job. As long as I feel like she’s into ME, and wants to be with ME. Sure. I guess though also, maybe there is a difference in dating someone and being in a relationship with someone. Does that change things for me? I don’t think so…
Does it for you?
