What are your thoughts on pole dancing?

[gafee2001]

I don't differentiate a whole lot between Poles dancing and Germans, Swedes, Belgians or Danes dancing; as long as they have some rhythm.

I got this joke. It was definitely a thinker!

A group of us went to a strip club a few months ago and one of the dancers put on a pole dancing show... She'd do tumbles off the pole, backwards cartwheel catching the pole mid-spin, etc. Very entertaining -- almost like a gymnastic show. Needless to say, I think she got more tips from her good show than from showing her goodies.

On America's Got Talent, this year, there were a few pole dancers (one was a man) and they also brought in Cirque du Soleil and they had a few pole dancers too. I think more and more people are recognizing this as a legitimate form of dancing / gymnastics that takes a lot of skill, strength, and coordination. I think it has a stigma from being in strip clubs, but you don't necessarily need to undress in order to have a beautiful routine. I really wouldn't be surprised if it did become a part of gymnastic events: instead of the horizontal bars, they could call it the vertical bars.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, but I sure wouldn't want my kids doing it!

I never liked that sort of thing. I am more into outfits and things of that nature.

i always end up throwing dollar bills at the pole dancers. its either that they are dancing or that they are nude. either way they get my money..

I guess I'm the only one here who agrees with Chris Rock on the pole LOL!

    “Sometimes I am walking with my daughter, I’m talking to my daughter, I’m looking at her, I’m pushing her in the stroller. And sometimes I pick her up and I just stare at her and I realize my only job in life is to keep her off the pole.

    “Keep my baby off the pole!

    “I mean they don’t grade fathers but if your daughter is a stripper you %*&$#@ up.”

I believe if you can make a dime at something, whom am I to judge?  overall pole dancers have an income, I realize they aren't paying their full worth of taxes but why judge them harsher than the college waitress?  I don't think I could do it myself, mainly because of lack of body strength.  Plus I'd def want to invest in a fabulous wig.

There are worse choices for a job.
As long as they're protected from grabby hands.
Some enjoy the job, getting people to look at them, helps the self esteem.
If can look pretty damned good as well.

Great exercise for those brave souls who dare try it.

Either professional or for working out or for fun for you and your man.  I have been to a strip club before and I don't think there's anything wrong -- those girls look confident and sexy...I personally wouldn't do it for my job but sometimes I dance at home, I think it's fun!

I think it is fun too. To watch anyway.  For me, I would probably break my neck just trying it.

I know that i could never do pole dancing it look more like you are doing some type ofbody toning. For me i would rather stick with two dancing weather it's slow or a fast dance you get the same affect. You can always dance like you dont care.

[AISHASHOFUL]

i think its an interesting skill, nice exercise, i am sure it is great for couples but i fell that women in that business have to face a lot of danger. that is why i oppose.
