re: Open discussion-dating a stripper

I not only dated one, I married her. Been married almost 15 years now and have two wonderful children. Believe it or not, all dancers are not coke whores who blow guys in the VIP room for three fifty! I met my wife at a Cubs game when she was 21 years old. She had been dancing for two years to help put herself through college at Northwestern. We dated for the next two years until she graduated and we got married. My roommate at the time dated a dancer who was a friend of my wife's and he wound up marrying her. They were married for less than two years before she cheated on him and took him to the cleaners in a messy divorce. His marriage didn't work out but it wasn't because she was once a stripper, it was because she was an evil cheating whore! I met plenty of the other girls who worked with her and I'll be the first to admit that dating a stripper can, and many times will, end badly but like I told the OP, you can't always judge a book just by its cover!
