How does a woman get into that SLEAZY business? Does she go to the WORST part of town, with all the brothels and drug dealers, and ask for a job?
Did her father think it was an okay thing?
Are her family and friends okay with that?

I'd wash toilets before I'd do that.

Once you are 18, you can do as you please-you are an adult, and you only pay attention to what is okay with mom, dad, family and friends if you want to as long as you are supporting yourself-I say that as someone who has always been an unrepentant rebel...

It doesn’t sound like this young woman was using the money to pay for college-but I had college friends who were topless/pole dancers-they made a lot more money for books and tuition working at those topless clubs at night than I did working as a cocktail waitress at one of the nicest dinner-and-live rock band clubs in the downtown tourist area-the only difference was that they didn’t mind dancing without their clothes and I wasn’t willing to do that. That was in the early 70’s, but there are still young women willing to dance and strip to make a lot of money for college...

Washing toilets in honorable. I dated a Harvard guy. Summers he washed toilets with his commercial cleaning lady mother.

How does a woman get into that SLEAZY business?

Money.

How does a woman get into that SLEAZY business?

I don't know, aside from basic greed, perhaps the result of being abused or otherwise getting the distinct message that she was worthless, no good... just some passing flesh of this world to make the best with what she has, not expecting any love in the first place.

It's sad, even if she thinks she hit the baby daddy lottery.

Strip club across the river in IL had a sign out a couple of summers ago, “Now hiring Class of 2016”. Had a couple of former students who got into the business. Sad girls, not all that good looking and not at all that smart. No doubt paid them more than any other job they might be able to get.

Had a cousin involved with the clubs. My aunt always said her daughter worked in “gentlemen clubs”. Don’t know that she really grasped what her daughter was doing. If my uncle cared, he never said or did anything about it.

The Mpire Club is on M St. NW, south of Dupont Circle. That is definitely not the worst part of D.C.

D.C. has its own set of rules.

I understand. a girl grow up today with a crappy education and a world without shame. It’s better money than McDonald’s.

Now they don’t have to leave home, just become a cam girl whose name and location are never disclosed. If you think only women of “low morals” or whatever term you prefer do sex work, you’d be surprised. Many were home visiting mom and pop today and will be back on cam when they get home. It’s not sex, it’s exhibitionism for tips.

You would be surprised.

All it takes for some is a DUI conviction

60 days in jail plus weekends for a year

Lose your job. Cant get re hired due to no car because no insurance

Meet a girl in jail tells you ‘“you could be making tons of money in the club”’

[Jimmy Valentine]

A lot of girls do this on the side from college or clerking jobs. They can make a lot of money tax free in a relatively short time.

[El Laton Caliente]

$5K to $10K a week in one of the more upscale places.

Many come out of Foster care or orphanages. In much of the nation they are the gals associated with (property of?) outlaw biker clubs. Most drink and/or drug a lot.

Some just like the attention or get off to exhibitionism.

They make a lot of money with little or no need for smarts or an education.
