A very good highschool buddy and later roommate of mine married a peeler. She was a friend from school who disappeared for a few years and thats what she did. She is not gross or sleazy in my view. But to each their own. Some likely are talentless, and just stumble around shaking their booty, but some are also trained dancers, gymnasts, university degree holders, etc. with brains, and imho, nothing to be ashamed of. The only ones who 'might' have an ethics issue are the crowd of viewers. I say might, cuz I think some who would watch out of curiosity do not drool and sneak off to tend their own garden in the john between sets. If a single mother, with no education, a dysfunctional, impoverished, abusive upbringing, and no luck finding other employment gets a job peeling for $500 cash a day or whatever......good for her. She is under no disillusions about what she is doing, though most of the crowd likely is......and drunk too. I have not been to a strip bar in probably 8 or 10 years, originally at the request of a partner, but then just cuz I lost interest. I love the feminine form, everything about it......but the novelty of seeing 'bare naked ladies' wears off after awhile.......well, except for when they are say......in love with you. Then the lust lasts forever.
Aww, don't mind me, I'm just very anti-stripper, if you couldn't tell. I honestly can't respect a person, male, or female, that does that for a living. It just seems like a waste to do that with your life, even if the pay IS good, and really, I may be a prude in saying this, but I think it's a disgusting display of filth. I don't care how bad off I was, I would never resort to degrading myself like that. I think much more highly of myself. But that's me. Peace.
Belly dancers are much more cool in my opinion as well. They can be extremely sexual, without taking their clothes off and acting like a... I'm sure you know what I'm getting at. Peace.
HippyChickMommy, You are a fucking freak! We come here to share our opinion on the subject and you have the balls to basically bash us personally. Get a life and don't make this personal! I was just wondering what you do with all your time? Do you work?
I dont find anything wrong with strippers or strip clubs.. and certainly wouldnt think any less of someone if they were a stripper..
You and I should go someday, Shroom! Don't forget to bring your roll of singles from your brass pole work!
Your dad peaking his head in the door and slipping you a fifty wrapped around a Bud can doesn't count.
All the cheap women are the same everywhere you go. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure you out.
Bash "us"? Why, are you a stripper? Yes, I DO work, I am a full-time mother and for a treat when my children nap or are in bed for the night, I allow myself to visit places like these and voice my opinions for a little harmless debating, which is what you yourself are doing, correct? I am entitled to my opinion and, unless things have changed, I believe this is a free speech website. Have a wonderful day.
I guess that's supposed to make me feel bad, but, it doesn't. I have my own opinions just as you do. Again, this IS a free speech website.
you can say whatever you want, but so can I. I don't like how you condemn an entire profession like you do. I guess you are a "mommy" so you are superior to everyone else.
Okay, okay, I'm done. There is nothing that I'm going to say that is going to make you understand my opinion on this subject, nor am I going to agree with yours, and frankly, I'm getting terribly bored debating it because it's not going anywhere. Things aren't always as they appear, and there might be roots that run much deeper than you know. You only know what one chooses to tell you. Peace, and have a wonderful day.
ha, thats funny, I've only directed two posts towards you....doesn't take much before you flake out does it anyway, enjoy your breeding Be sure to name one after a rainbow
