Not Interested in Dating: Strippers

What? Yes, that is the title. I told y’all this series was about good guys that I just can’t date. Stripping may not be a good job of morals but it’s is legal. I actually know and have known some very good guys that just happen to take their clothes off for a living in every portion of my life. One was a family friend. One I met at church initially. I had heard rumors but didn’t find out until I was at a Bachelorette party. One I was a fan of but met him officially at the mall because he’s a good friend of a friend. Many of us know a guy or two who does. So, put your judgmental fingers down and finish reading.

I am secure enough to know I am too insecure to date a male erotic dancer. Not because they are too good looking because all of them are not good-looking to me. I know for a shadow of a doubt I would always wonder, no worry about what he is doing. The job comes with drama, a lot of drama. I’m not a frequenter of male revues. More like a face-in-crowd type of fan. You see me when you see me. But I have paid attention to some of the patrons at Male revues when I am at one and some of those ladies are bothersome. Some of those ladies sit there at the show and after the shows and talk the dancers' business like it is their own (I blame me hearing the show gossip on the shows not ever starting on time *hint, hint*). Some of these women wait for the dancers by the changing rooms or outside the clubs and are willing to do whatever and whoever else is willing. Some of these ladies Lie, yes Lie about dating and sleeping with dancers. Let’s just say I don’t need the headache. I know that can be a possibility of all relationships but in my opinion, dating a stripper these issues seem to be more of a possible reality.

My next reason is a simple one. I don't want anyone I know to know what my man looks like. Here’s one of my dating rules. Never rave about or show off your man to your friends. I may not have friends that I think would sleep or try to sleep with the man I am dating. Oh but that does not mean they still won't think about him. If I date a male stripper, they not only get to think about him, it's all on display for them to see. That is not a conversation I would want to have with my friends. “Girl your man was slanging it wasn’t he”. Can we say, Awkward???

My last reason is I'm celibate. A celibate male stripper may be out there. I've never heard of such. I figure he would be talked about a lot. The Male Revue Gossips would have his business all in the streets. I'm celibate and you work in a profession that promotes sex. Umm, not going to touch that one. Leaving that statement as it is.

Male strippers, Performers at Male revues, Male erotic dancers, or whatever you call them are for looks only for the Diva. Good guys, for the most part, I mean all professions have their share of jerks, I just can't date them. God Bless the women that do, for they are emotionally stronger than me.
