My ex-wife use to 'dance'... it wasn't topless though...she was my GF long before she accepted this job...I have to tell you though, it changed her, and was probably the main reason we're not still together...although I am glad we're not.
The stories I have in that dept, oh my! She was the most down to earth girl before she started dancing...she never did any drugs or smoked but she changed very much....
Guys always trying to buy her things, strippers have groupies basically...she had all sorts of men...what a bunch of losers ...these guys go into those places rtrying to buy a woman, and that is basically it...the girls think these men just want to be friends, I've seen it so many times.
I never saw the fascination wth going into a bar with 30-40 other dudes all with their tongues hanging out and giving my money away ...what a desperate , no win situation IMO....all you will end up with his less money and some lying whore stringing you along....sorry to be so blunt but that's how it is.
The girls become addicted to the easy cash money, and can't quit.
After about 4 years of that life we split up...it was a rough road and we were really pretty happy before she took that job...what a dead end that was.
