What’s an aspect of being a lap dancer that would surprise most women?
There’s this myth that if you are hot, men will climb all over themselves to get a dance from you and buckets of cash will magically rain down from the ceiling. (Kind of like how advertising lies that if you just look a certain way, your life will be one big party filled with love.)
It’s not like that at all! Women don’t get paid much by the clubs – if anything – so you make almost all of your income from selling private dances. And that is a big hustle! Most of your shift is spent going table to table, schmoozing men and trying to drum up interest in spending time with you alone in the VIP.
It’s not easy. There are often more dancers than men in the club. Not all guys want dances and you aren’t always everyone’s cup of tea. You have to learn how to face rejection, not take it personally and not let it affect your sense of self-worth…kind of like dating.
