Maybe they are truly good at stripping and really enjoy it.
Why do girls become strippers? Shouldn't they do something than they would really enjoy? Something they're truly good at? Like an writer or an actress or a kindergarden teacher?
Don't knock it. One of history's most famous women was a stripper and, boy, did she do us a favour. Salome not only performed the dance of the seven veils for Herod, she rid the world of John the Baptist at the same time. A double service for which she is still remembered.
Many of them are dancers just waiting for that big break, and while waiting they are making money. I knew one who did it to put her husband through law school. As soon as he graduated and started working, she quit stripping and started a family.
They wouldn't have a job and make so much money if people weren't paying to see them. Get rid of the customers, no more strippers.
Hey I use to be a male stripper in Mayberry.
Same reason men do, the money.
You need money for everything.
In god we trust. Money is god.
I graduated high school with someone who danced. When she got to college she started stripping. She worked 2-3 nights a week for 4 hours each. She made enough money to pay for her living expenses and her schooling. She graduated debt free working 8-12 hours a week.
I had another friend who waitressed the lunch crowd at gentleman's club. She worked from noon to 2 Monday through Friday. That is 10 hours a week. She also made enough to pay for her living expenses and her schooling.
They make a lot of money for it :P
In some places, if they are attractive, they can earn 6 figures a year (cash mostly). That is likely the biggest draw, a lot of money for a small amount of work.
