Want to start by saying you are pretty and I respect your honesty and activeness in the thread. I want to ask a question which may annoy you, but I do not ask out of wanting to make you feel bad. I am authentically curious.

Do you ever feel sleazy for being a stripper?

I agree that calling strippers 'needy' due to them complaining about the lack of tips is unfair. However, the thing is, you picked a job where you get paid in tips. Its more like street performance in that sense. You perform and hope to get some money. The fact that many people will enjoy your show without paying is part of the job you chose. unless you were forced into this job due to circumstances, than the fault for complaining about the nature of the job falls squarely on you IMO.

I agree that I am being cheap when I don't tip a stripper seeing as that is their only source of income, but that is the only thing you can blame them for.

TL;DR: It is the nature of your job. complaining about it is like complaining about the weather
