Before I started working as an stripper I had this Vision

I used to think I would spend all night just dancing naked on an huge pole and get money thrown at me and I thought I would have this beautiful life of luxury and be rich and I also used to think all the girls looked like playboy models And you would have someone walk you to your car after every shift and there would be so many talented girls. Then when I actually started I realised most of it is just talking to guys , most waste your time , you get treated like your an therapist as some talk about their trauma and problems , some just try to do shit I won’t talk about it’s that bad , most girls don’t look like that and a lot don’t bother wearing makeup or looking after their bodies they look like how they do when you walk down the street , the hours are so long and it’s extremely exhausting , you don’t have to know anything about pole dancing to get the job as most were I work and other places I’ve worked don’t , sometimes you go home with zero or little money , it’s sometimes mentally exhausting and it’s hard not to blame everything on yourself and it can sometimes send you to therapy , some clubs let you get assaulted and watch not were I work but the first ever club I worked in did and blamed it on me , you don’t get paid an hourly rate like I thought I would , it’s extremely hard and it’s not an easy way out , You get injured easily especially if you do an lot of pole tricks , nobody trains you or helps you , you teach yourself everything unless you ask for help ,it’s rare to have true friends in this job , it’s an horrible fact but most people are just out for themselves and don’t give an shit about you or having genuine friendships with you , sometimes you just cry and break down because sometimes it’s so hard , I had loads of nights like that before but lately I’ve been good mentally and I’ve gotten a lot mentally stronger , your looks don’t mean everything , having an food personality is what counts the most and gets you the money but looks do also matter a lot when it comes to making money so make sure you have the full package and a lot of it isn’t like what you see on social media or tv , there’s so much messy shit that goes with it but overall it can be an very good job and be very rewarding it just depends really on were you work and your mental health and physical health and of course the night.
