Quote:

An study of the industry showed that the majority of dancers were attracted into the profession by the money, with all the women interviewed having finished school and gained some qualifications.

The average dancer took home £232 per shift after paying commission and fees to the nightclub where they worked.

Quote:

Most dancers worked two to four shifts a week – giving them annual incomes of between £24,000 and £48,000 a year.

Many were aspiring actresses, models and artists who hoped to use lap dancing as a lucrative platform for breaking into their desired industry.

Unemployed arts graduates who had who had been unable to enter their ideal careers since university also made up a sizeable proportion of the lap dancers interviewed.

There are few things on earth more appealing than an intelligent stripper.

Weird that arts graduates can't find jobs.

It's a good thing that their stepdads encouraged them to have a backup plan.

I've heard the Outhouse in Lawrence is getting the cream of the crop from Missouri since that state is a bunch of prudes. I might have to make a 20 minute drive to check it out.

Nice touch.

At least they know how to work it.

One more thing on that note. I sort of "dated" a stripper for a while.She was ape shit nuts (go figure) but very upfront about everything and she told me all strippers have daddy issues.

Not that I really needed the insight but I found it interesting she fully understood it. Come to think of it she was nuts but she was pretty smart. Didn't have a degree though.

Actually having dated a few strippers with college educations back in the day, I have to disagree.

There's pretty much nothing less appealing than an educated, intelligent stripper because they are extremely manipulative.

I prefer them hot and dumb. It's a much more palatable combination.

I'm curious, if a majority of strippers were enticed by the money, what were the other reasons that brought them to stripping? Free drinks is about all I can think of. Maybe strippers in the UK get good benefits and a 401(k)?!?!
