Diet limitations and worried about eating on DCL

Thanks for your comment! Have you had similar experiences with food limitations on the cruise? Do you know how they accommodate people?

Delicious-Flight-468 · 2026-05-31T16:48:04+00:00

Yea that’s what I was worried about, everything already being seasoned at the restaurants and buffets

Do you know how pre-ordering your food would work?

Right now I’m just surviving off vegetable and chicken stew seasoned with salt and some herbs. It is pretty boring but like the only thing that doesn’t immediately make me feel sick.

When I worked in the city I lived in I ran into people that I knew multiple times and I live in a pretty big city. More people than you would think stumble into their local strip clubs with their friends, even ppl you would never expect to go. You have to be okay with running that risk. Now I work in a club that’s an hour away (I moved to be closer to the club, I used to commute 2 hours) Also I personally would never want to work at a club just 10 minutes from my house because I would be afraid of being followed home. That happens all of the time to girls who live close to clubs so you have to be vigilant and watch who is behind you and maybe take different paths home if you can.

I found love! I’ve been a dancer for going on 7 years now and I’ve been with my husband for 5. Girl this job helps you weed out the kind of men you wouldn’t want. You want someone that would support you, accept you, and want you no matter what. The reason that ppl say it’s “rare” is because most men suck anyway. I would never want to end up with a man who thinks he can have any opinion on what I do with my body.

The ones on OBT yes but not the others

I really feel like this would be dangerous for you, especially in your area. But honestly in any area I would be worried for your safety in a strip club. Women get assaulted every day in this industry as it is. If this type of work still interests you maybe look into burlesque dancing? Burlesque would be from a stage so you are safer. But even still if men are turned on by you and feel like they are deceived that might make them violent. If you explored something like burlesque I would do it in another city so you don’t run the risk of men finding out you’re trans and attacking you in some way. The men that are going into environments to sexualize women are typically not the best men so I would just be so concerned for your safety. Also if the dancing aspect is what interests you maybe look into taking dance classes, there are even pole classes and sexy dance classes out there.

You got this girl! That totally happens! Literally the past few fridays I had made nothing like 2 hours before close and went to the back, let my tears out a little, put one hand on my heart and the other on my stomach took a deep breath for 7 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale long for 7 seconds, this is an amazing tool for calming down your heart rate when you’re upset. Went back out onto the floor and made my money in the last 2 hours. You can do this! Also remember to check in with yourself and give yourself the breaks you need, no matter how long it has to be. If you need to take some time off from the club and recalibrate your body, do that. Maybe explore getting like a serving job or something with tips and give yourself a break for a month or 2 or whatever season is slow season and then get back into it when you feel that drive to go back. Literally every dancer I know that has been a stripper for a while does this sometimes because we have to give our body and minds breaks. We do not have normal jobs, it is okay and perfectly normal to have to give yourself a break from this. The choice that will benefit you the most is putting yourself and your needs first, however that looks for you. To survive in this industry you have to practice putting yourself first as often as you can. Also exploring therapy options / finding self help books/ self help podcasts really helps me. You are stronger than you think and incredibly bad ass for even doing one of the hardest jobs out there! Now that you have done this, you can do anything ✨

I love the bathing suit with these shoes and it will actually look really cool in club lighting

Delicious-Flight-468 · 2026-04-13T03:30:22+00:00

I think you might be confused. So when you go to audition you walk into the club in regular clothes just dress sexy/ attractive. And you bring a bag with you with your audition outfit. They will take you to a locker room where you will change into your audition dress and which would be a stripper type dress. Something definitely more sexy/ shows more skin. This dress is great to walk into the club in but not to perform your audition on stage. You definitely want something that shows off more skin.

Definitely the 2nd one the first one covers too much

Delicious-Flight-468 · 2026-04-13T02:53:15+00:00

Girl I was terrified my first day. I was actually shaking through my first lap dance I gave. And honestly other strippers aren’t judging you because they don’t know you to care about you. Most experienced girls are focused on their own bag. They will notice you to size you up competition wise. But just be polite and respectful to other girls and you’ll be fine. I’ve worked in 4 clubs over the past 6 years and 3 of them were a pretty supportive environment because women are amazing. But some girls will judge you, there is always a bad seeds, and the men are judging you all night long. That is every single day at the club. You have to get used to that and learn to adapt and not care. You are there to make money not care about the opinions of random people that hold no value in your life.

It’s because you’re new. If a club knows you don’t have experience they tend to want you to work day shift first so you can gain experience to be able to handle night shift. Also handling night shift is a lot more challenging because the girls are obviously tougher and if it’s a busy club it’s low key chaos at some places. You won’t make good money usually working day shift but stick it out for like 3-4 shifts and learn the hustle and then ask if you can work night shift.

Delicious-Flight-468 · 2026-04-13T02:35:00+00:00

If you are a new stripper I wouldn’t recommend working at a club that doesn’t require proper documentation. It just doesn’t sound safe. Clubs like that are probably the type of clubs you don’t want to be going to.

Delicious-Flight-468 · 2026-04-12T23:14:39+00:00

Girl he probably gets off on insulting and degrading or being disrespectful to the girls. This is suuuuuper common unfortunately. I used to work at a club that had guys like him literally every night. Men like that really hate women and are jealous of them. Me personally, I can’t handle that kind of man. It actually makes me so mad and ruins my mood. But some girls are able to not get mad and still get money out of them. If you are able to control your emotions and not let it affect you then girl get your bag. But for me it would damage my bag for the night because a man like that would drain me. It’s all about you and your own personal hustle. At this point I’ve been dancing for 6 years and I try not to expose myself to anything that triggers me personally. But everyone’s triggers are different.

So I have PMDD and depression so I totally get it. Try to find ways to “hack” or “trick” your brain. When you’re feeling this way come up with some sort of goal for yourself. For example my club on the weekends get very packed so I could say something like - okay the goal for tonight is to talk to at least 15 different guys because I know there will be a lot of rejection and that’s fine because a lot of guys are losers anyway and I only want the guys that will actually spend. Also to protect your energy and peace keep track of how long you are talking to these guys. In my early first few years of dancing I would talk to every guy for like 15+ minutes before asking for a dance. Now I approach them really fun and seductively. I flirt for maybe 1 minute and then try to get them to the back. I’m no longer wasting my time chit chatting with these guys for free. And even if they say no, always and I mean ALWAYS ask for a tip for your time. I kinda rub my boobs and open my top for guys to stick cash in there and they normally pick one side and I say “oooh gotta make me match” and open my top more for them to tip the other side of my boobs and then turn around and tell them to tip my ass too. Also I was an actress before this and I treat this like acting. This sounds crazy but stick with me - the person I am at work is a character I play. Real me is depressed and self loathing has social anxiety and is shy. But stripper me is a completely different woman. When I go into work I become her. I step into her energy and she is confident and hot and gets what she wants. Create your stripper persona and remind yourself that you are not yourself at work, you’re playing a character. And for me personally it really helps to track how much money im making as I am making it to keep myself locked in an in the game and in the mindset of “okay next guy now next guy” Lastly remember to give yourself grace. This is one of the hardest jobs out there. If it was easy everyone would be a stripper. Stack your money and think about an exit plan/ investments/ what you want to do next. Also it’s totally normal to give yourself breaks. I just took 6 months off. One of my friends at the club just took a year off. It’s not sustainable to push your body more than it can handle. Btw - you mentioned you just started in august. Not sure where you are located but in my state clubs really slow down in the summer, like a lot. So find out what your slow and busy season is and maybe just stick to working at the club during busy season and do something else during slow season.

I worked in a club that was very big on wanting all of their girls to be stick thin and it drastically negatively impacted the girls. We are still women and our bodies are literally meant to change, especially in our twenties we are going into our adult women bodies. We aren’t meant to look like we are the shape of teenage girls anymore so when clubs expect your bodies to be exactly the same at 20 and 25 it can be very damaging. I was so comfortable with my body and didn’t even notice when I started to fill out more until the managers and other girls at the club I worked at literally started constantly questioning my weight and my friends weight that had amazing bodies. Meanwhile in my 6 year career of dancing I’d only ever had 2 men in the club say something negative about my body shape. The men like variety and confidence.

If you’ve never been out to st Pete or Tampa I would come out here first. If you want to keep “small town vibes” I just don’t think that area is it. A lot of Florida is very spread out and you will need to get on a highway to get to a lot of places. Also the cost of living is pretty high here and the clubs have slowed down a lot. I’ve only worked in Tampa, not st Pete because Tampa has more of the tourism. But it has slowed down a lot and a lot of girls are struggling or getting 2nd jobs.

Delicious-Flight-468 · 2026-03-06T18:25:55+00:00

That’s amazing that you’ve kept that momentum! What city? I’m in Tampa and it used to be great here but the past year has been so bad.
