nimh...perhaps all along you have been talking about the relatively happy existance an European stripper has.
It is simply not so here. And no amount your posting is going to change that. It's simply NOT a respected, admired profession.
I'm sorry, but that doesnt make sense either.
People who have posted here to counter your, Bella's, Slappy's, cjhsa's and Kicky's description of strippers have included three Europeans (Thomas, Walter and I), and just how many Americans?
Noddy, NickFun, JoefromChicago, Miller, Ogyothingemie, Boomerang too I think.. Ive lost track and count by now, to be honest.
The three Europeans here might all share an opinion opposite to yours -- but no way you can say that your opinion just reflects the "American" position, because the Americans here seem to be pretty much divided in two equal halves on the subject.
The fact is that there are just a fair number of posters here who dont share your impression of what all strippers are like, or how strippers are seen. Somehow you find it hard to see their opinion as just a valid disagreement, so you keep coming up with ways to explain it away - they must just be the kind of people who go to stripclubs and have to talk up the strippers so as not to feel guilty about it. Or it must just be cause they're Europeans.
But none of that holds; because you've got Americans here, different kind of people, not or hardly all strip club goers (I dont know who goes or who doesnt, but its clearly not all of em), who just disagree with you.
