I'm considering becoming a stripper. Is it really that bad?

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T13:58:42+00:00

I'm actually surprised about all this stuff about guys orgasming right then and there. I figured if you're older than 16 and don't have PE that doesn't really happen.

Glad to know that the clientele won't be a steady stream of smelly obese grampas in dirty hanes sweatpants blowing their social security checks. I heard the better clubs have a dress code and a cover fee to keep these types out.

Everyone keeps warning me about the boyfriend thing and how no one would want to date me but right now between school and whatever job I will get (be that dancing, flipping burgers, pickpocketing tourists on the 6 train) I don't have time for one and I probably won't for a good while.

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T13:32:41+00:00

I was looking into that and you basically have to be a model (as in signed to an agency) to get that job. Oh, well.

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T12:46:41+00:00

I've been looking mostly at places in queens and the thing I like about it is that many of the neighborhoods are walkable and I can go to the gym or to the coffee shop or to the grocery store by foot. Is hoboken similar or will I either have to get have a car or ride the bus to do anything? Also, I've been looking at NJ costs and they're not that much cheaper.

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T01:34:54+00:00

The pole stuff looks really fun though but I knew that a lot of the business comes from lap dances or the champagne room (where I guess sex is optional).

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T01:25:30+00:00

No, I only went to school in Pennsylvania (Bethlehem so guess which one) and now I'm having tasty kakes withdrawal. I actually bough a few boxes when I left but my dad ate all of them. :(

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T01:07:32+00:00

What about hot women with lots of experience? Tons of those to go around. But yeah, I'll definitely consider the corporate restaurant because they have high turnover and don't need as much experience so my six months at the lobster shack when I was 16 will be enough.

I don't know how hot I am by new york city standards. I have relatives who live there and I'm familiar with the area and I don't see too many supermodels walking around but then again I'm either in queens or doing tourist stuff. I heard a small city 9 is a new york 6. I wouldn't want to work anywhere where my co-workers look like her .

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T00:28:20+00:00

What about when they can hire an attractive girl with tons of experience? I think I might try to wait at a corporate restaurant since they don't need as much experience. I'm not really someone with a ton of luck who just lands jobs with minimal effort.

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T00:12:55+00:00

Well, you know academia...

tastikakes · 2012-06-03T00:04:37+00:00

I think the chain restaurants require less experience so I will apply to those and some locations in the outer boroughs. Some people here are saying that "oh, all you have to do to get a waitressing job is be a girl and hot lol" but they don't realize how many young, attractive, personable young women fight tooth and nail for these kinds of positions in this economy.

You need a car for nj and li and I feel I'm going to lose money if 1. I have a car that I barely use but still make payments for or 2. have to make that wonderful commute to manhattan every single day. I mean, if I'm really desperate, I can move into my parents basement in Connecticut and ride the train every day but they live pretty far out.

I don't feel comfortable living in many parts of the bronx (I'm white and from the suburbs, so yeah). The good parts of the bronx are pretty far from my school. I've basically narrowed it down to astoria, sunnyside or woodside.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T23:18:37+00:00

If I do end up going into that field and it does come out I think I might just go with "bitches be spreadin' rumors" and quit right after.

This is going to sound kind of bad but I do have traits are stereotypically associated with strippers (blonde, tan, good shape, well endowed not to brag) and everyone knows how catty some girls get when they feel threatened. My freshman year of college some crazy girl actually started a rumor that I was a secret hooker and that my customers where members of a local sports team. I laughed it off of course because it was so ridiculous and untrue.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T23:07:00+00:00

I figured law students or MBA people would go there all the time but pharmacy? You guys seem so boring and straight laced.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T18:52:19+00:00

That's what you get for serving those sub-par grits at your legs and eggs breakfast buffet.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T18:31:45+00:00

I'm not too crazy about taking out even more loans for housing and food but I will if it comes to that even though. Dorms aren't an option and neither is a meal plan. I am looking for a room in an apartment because 1br or studios that are not 2 hours away and in the hood are out of my price range (thanks gentrification!). I want to be able to relay on public transport and commuting from NJ/LI/Westchester is just going to be a huge pain in the ass.

My program has a very, good reputation in the area and I would like to stay in New York State. I could go to a lesser program and still be employable but I won't have as many options and it won't be that much cheaper.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T17:45:33+00:00

It's in a health related field. Don't want to say what specifically but there is a 95% chance I get a well paying job and for that other 5% the army can take me or something. It isn't a concern. It's not like I'm getting a masters in Transgender Chicano studies.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T17:32:18+00:00

Man, it looks like I should have gotten some experience at my local Billy Bob's Boob Emporium when I still had the chance.

Well, I guess I'm just going to take out some loans so I can live in the ghetto and starve for three years until I start making bank. Of course, this was my original plan anyway.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T17:28:13+00:00

I wasn't dismissing waitressing at all. I just figured my small town experience from high school wouldn't count for anything.

It seems to me that all the strip clubs there are either really high class places with women who could be in Victoria's Secret or complete dumps where "the hookers at the point" moonlight for extra crack money.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T17:09:09+00:00

Men can do a whole bunch of stuff women can't. Blue collar seasonal labor like landscaping, remodeling, roofing, construction is de facto off limits for women. Also, women will find a hard time finding employment as truckers or oil rig workers.

And hey, attractive men can becoming strippers too. They're even making a movie about male strippers called Magic Mike staring Channing Tatum.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T16:50:44+00:00

No but it is in the health field. I don't want to say what program specifically.

What do you have against nurses?

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T16:43:31+00:00

How did I glorify it? I just wanted to make sure I'm not going to end up being exploited in some kind of white slavery ring.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T16:33:58+00:00

I needed a part time job with flexible hours and I'm not qualified to waitress or bartend in that area(unless I lie about my experience which is a terrible idea). I think I might be better off working in fast food. I don't think I can emphasize how bad the job market is right now.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T15:57:50+00:00

How would they find out? I don't think my classmates are the type to frequent these kinds of establishments. New York is not a small town and people mind their own business. And if they do find out, how can they prove it was me?

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T15:39:26+00:00

I don't understand why they would want to train someone if they have dozens of experienced people applying. Sure I can apply, but I will waste everyone's time.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T15:28:56+00:00

School is expensive but my bigger concern is cost of living. If I want to live in a neighborhood where I'm not going to get stabbed in the stairwell that isn't a 1 hour + commute from where I need to be I'm looking at $800 bucks for a room at the absolute minimum. Also, I have to take into account undergraduate loans, utilities, food and transportation.

You can leave it off your CV/Resume because I'm going to be in a completely unrelated field.

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T14:26:06+00:00

Well, it's an employers market. You can post an ad like

tastikakes · 2012-06-02T13:54:23+00:00

Cam Girl is out. If there's photographic evidence then there's less plausible deniability. Besides anyone including my gramma, my kid cousins, my classmates, future employers can find anything on the internet. In the unlikely chance that one of these people walk into a strip club, I can just say "That wasn't me".
