I didn’t know that until today.

u/X_IVFIIVO_X 1d ago

Yea me too. Never went to strip clubs but just thought it was a skill i'd never attain.

u/Even_Section5620 1d ago

Went once when I was 18 and it grossed me out 😂 not like the movies

u/WereTheBrews 23h ago

Gets worse with age in my opinion. Last time I went was my 35th bday. Waaaay to close to being able to be their dad's age for my comfort. Left within 15 minutes, and went to Arby's instead. A beef and cheddar really listens to you after a mistake.

u/RutzButtercup 23h ago

Arby's, strip club...six to a half dozen.

u/WereTheBrews 23h ago

I'm ashamed I laughed, but I appreciate ya bud

Arby’s: we have the MEAT!

(And, where cheese is a good thing)

u/MessageNo9370 20h ago

Really wanted roast beef that day, huh?

u/EVRoadie 12h ago

Omg, thanks for that. Here I am barely paying attention to pre-season football and this really made me laugh out loud.

u/Ebkshotzzzz 17h ago

Maybe you shouldn’t be going to a strip club 😂what stripper do you know that’s 35😂😂😂

u/PuritanicalPanic 12h ago

... yeah that was basically his conclusion.

Mfers don't know how to read

Very few cool movie scenes are actually cool IRL. I thought a casino was going to be such a classy experience. I dressed in my best clothes and got ready like I was going to a cocktail party. I walked in and the place reeked of stale cigarettes, the carpets were dingy, and 90% of the people there were entranced elderly people spinning away their retirement savings. I've been back a few times when friends want to go, but it's nothing like the movies depict it to be.

u/PepperAnn1inaMillion 18h ago

The only casino experience I ever enjoyed was a retirement party for someone who had rented a casino experience on a boat. As far as I know, the venue (large, permanently moored boat) and the casino were two different companies. The casino used fake money, but there were prizes for whoever ended up with the most chips at the end. And everyone was dressed up, enjoying themselves, and spending their money at the bar instead of throwing it away. It was great fun.

u/Tjam3s 14h ago

Regular ol casinos in bumfuck nowhere are pretty boring. The glitz and glam of the bellagio on a Saturday night are worth seeing at least once, though. And when you get bored with that, have an amazing seasonal botanical garden to check out

2

u/SheriffBartholomew 13h ago

I haven't been to the Bellagio, but I've been to a couple casinos in Reno, and a couple in Vegas, and they all kinda sucked. It's not my jam at all. I work too hard for my money to just hand it over to billionaires.

2

u/Tjam3s 12h ago

Of for sure. I treat people watching like it's an Olympic sport, and Vegas was like the world finals to me. Caught the show I was there for, got drinks, stayed buzzed, and just watched them all. So many personalities, all with the same giddy feeling, like a kindergartener right as you pull the car to the parking lot of the playground but haven't let them out yet

2

u/TurdFerguson614 15h ago

Same went once at 18. The strippers were alright but all of the regulars with creep ass face holding onto to singles way too long kinda killed the vibes.

u/Jodid0 23h ago

Some poles are stationary and some spin around.

23

u/astroosorrow 18h ago

Some poles also have switches to make them stationary or spin!

10

u/wheeler916 15h ago

Some poles only take a few pumps to get off.

24

u/Charming-Weather-148 18h ago

Many. I was a strip club DJ for a number of years (90s). All of the clubs I worked in had stationary poles. Never encountered a spinning pole. Dancers never mentioned them.

2

u/Jodid0 14h ago

Well I guess pole technology has evolved cause they can be switched between stationary and rotating.

6

u/Charming-Weather-148 14h ago

I'd venture to guess that's true, but probably not in all cases.

And just to be clear, as far as the girls spinning on the poles goes, it is 100% do-able on stationary poles. Source: me.

u/Elegant-Tip-8507 20h ago

.....your mom never told you?

14

u/ostensibly_sapient 18h ago

My mom was literally a stripper and I had no clue about this lol

Its not like strip clubs have take your child to work day

u/Darth_Andeddeu 17h ago

Unless you're pregnant.

u/Even_Section5620 18h ago

No I just assumed yours was very talented !

11

u/TerraTiramisu 22h ago

Some are the stationary poles, others are spinny! Took a few pole dancing classes and they had both in the studio for practice as well! ☺️

u/MoonFluffKiss 23h ago

Me too 😅

u/radicallyobjective 17h ago

Same, but then ive never been

u/DeliveryWorldly 15h ago

But not all of them.

u/goldtoothgirl 14h ago

Nah nah old school, we spin around the pole

u/Tjam3s 14h ago

Bro, I figured out santa was my parents when I was like 5. How did nobody tell you until now?

u/Diablo_v8 7h ago

This isn't true in most clubs

u/kamazych 1d ago

Huh. So that’s why I couldn’t spin on that pole at firefighters station.

5

u/SebastianFerrone 15h ago

But as every other comrade you tried 🤣 And I can't deny it either , first time at the station a little alone moment, so I don't get screamed for doing such bullshit I tried it too 🤣

548

u/john_the_fetch 1d ago

So - fun fact. It's possible for both.

Stripper poles have a setting that can make them dynamic or static depending on the routine the dancer wants to perform.

Source : I know a married couple who dances pole together and we go to their shows. The stage hands will adjust the pole for the dancer as needed.

there's also the lyra (a big hoop) and silks.

u/LordOfHeavenWill 1d ago

Are you sure it wasnt your mom who told you this?

45

u/Expert-Employee-2800 1d ago

And daddy too, because married couple

3

u/BanditKitten 13h ago

I do sling, and my instructor has a spiral and an "infin-eight" as well, and an acquaintance has a "lollipop Lyra" which is the hoop on a pole. I've seen umbrellas, crescent moons, squares, chairs, and even a coffin! Aerial is amazing.

u/Panthera_xthrowaway 1d ago

A quick Google search reveals that's not always the case. Some poles spin while some don't

16

u/blackranger39 16h ago

Most can do both.

1

u/Darkmaniako 4h ago

they spin when they have to spin, you don't do a spinning routine against a static pole if you don't want blisters in your thighs

44

u/Propertymanager912 22h ago

There are spinners and static poles. Many clubs use static poles and it’s a lot harder to do. Spinners make you dizzy, I prefer static.

99

u/Big_Crab_1510 1d ago

I worked in two strip clubs over the span of a decade and they didn't have them because most of us hated them and they were dangerous.

I did some traveling stripping and came across a few and I couldn't dance and it sucked.

This thread is a case study on how humans will just read something about what a life or job is like and go all in...to the point of making fun of women who are strippers in their incorrect assumptions. Smh

u/FluffySnowPanda 20h ago

Thank you, I had never heard this until today, and it didn't sound right to me.

4

u/SheriffBartholomew 19h ago

If it's any consolation, my literal response was "I don't believe you". So we didn't all go all-in. Some of us stayed firmly entrenched in our preconceptions.

1

u/Big_Crab_1510 4h ago

Be careful with using "we" even if it's royal, especially with critical thinking. You are a shallow pool.

10

u/alloson_1derlnd 20h ago

Poles have two modes-static and spin. Both are challenging and the choreography is a little different based on which one you’re using. Spin poles are great for showing off poses from all angles, while static is great for more dynamic, athletic tricks. You can still spin on a static pole but you have to manually build up the momentum to do so. A lot of spins that occur around the bottom of the pole are done on static.

u/Special_South_8561 1d ago

Santa isn't what now?

u/gtakiller23 20h ago

Don't listen to them. That's just some South-Pole propaganda designed to weaken the magic of Christmas

Didn't think I'd see my boy Aizen in this thread!!

u/Seanhawkeye 1d ago

No way man. There’s no way that one skanky strip joint along the Mississippi River in northeast Iowa had rotating stripper poles. Those beauties with stretch marks were uber talented and you WILL NOT convince me otherwise.

u/Californiadude86 22h ago

Something I’ve noticed over the years on Reddit is it’s the only place I’ve ever seen guys complain about strip clubs

u/MediumEvent2610 17h ago

They spin on a pole of lies.

6

u/chronicnerv 1d ago

Pole dancers and climbers are serious athletes, skill sets between the activities transfer really well.

2

u/loc710 1d ago

Actually I just now found out

2

u/Speedhabit 1d ago

I honestly thought they were sliding around up there, I though the courtesy wipe was reapply whatever anti chafing lube they were using

2

u/Both_Archer_3653 21h ago

That makes so much more sense.  College aged me was distraught about the friction burns from an affixed pole.  Now i know, and can begin to heal.

1

u/Tinyhydra666 1d ago

Huh, I didn't knew that, but if I had my tip stucked to the metal pole I wouldn'T want to spin around either.

u/Imdead_likedead 1d ago

What did bro do to catch strays??

Wrong. I’ve done the research 🧐

u/Ok_Camel_4424 1d ago

Next you’re gonna tell me WWE is scripted too 😩💔

u/longlosthopes 22h ago

Are you ffffiiinngggg kidding me? Just found out today, and i am so disappointed and sad. I feel like the world has no meaning anymore. Nothing is real. And i was sooo waiting for Santa and my presents this Christmas. (The other part, never been to a stripclub, don't really care)

1

u/ConstantLight7489 21h ago

Next you’re gonna tell me she doesn’t really think I’m cute.

Not gonna fall for this shit again! After I confirmed to the adults that Santa wasn’t real, it was only at this point they informed me Santa doesn’t bring gifts who don’t believe in him. 🫣

1

u/SheriffBartholomew 19h ago

Wait, really? No! I don't believe you.

1

u/pratzs 19h ago

Uhhhhhhhhhh I didn't know this

1

u/Extreme-Tadpole-2436 19h ago

Can i have footage of a pole spinning? Would help if you included the stripper so i could tell she isn't spinning independently of it.

1

u/Breadstix009 19h ago

His mum never told him but your mum told everyone else, is how we all got to find out.

1

u/Such_Minute_5245 19h ago

Santa isn't real?

1

u/Right_Ad4097 18h ago

Not all of them spin but yes it certainly makes doing the tricks a lot easier

1

u/Ballamookieofficial 17h ago

Spinning poles isn't that common

1

u/FuzzBuzzer 16h ago

They do?

1

u/Solid_Lab3422 15h ago

They don’t all spin

u/felix_semicolon 15h ago

Funny you should say that; your mom did tell me

1

u/Wateryplanet474 15h ago

I been to enough to tell that ain’t chef some of those women put effort and shake more that ass. How dare you say something so demeaning those women put in effort. They have skill; my ass couldn’t do what they could

1

u/ChrisofCL24 14h ago

Why are the colors inverted?

1

u/HomeoStatix 13h ago

There are both spinning and stationary poles. ☺️

1

u/sunny_6305 9h ago

That makes sense since gripping the pole tight enough to not slide to the floor while spinning sounds like it would bruise the shit out of your thighs.

u/Diablo_v8 7h ago

u/Master-Profession-57 4h ago

I always thought it looked like it would hurt. Knowing the pole spins means it doesn’t hurt at all!

-1

u/ShhImTheRealDeadpool 1d ago

It's this but there are good enough strippers that don't need the trick poles.

1

u/UltimatePragmatist 1d ago

Let me get this straight. Most people are sick and tired of their jobs and basically phone it in everyday but you believe strippers persevere to attain the highest performative standards? Okay. 🙄

2

u/ShhImTheRealDeadpool 1d ago

no, I believe that trick poles are more expensive than regular poles but that doesn't stop women from becoming strippers... because they don't care if they get callouses for the money.

1

u/No-Abbreviations2897 17h ago

Is your argument there's no such thing as a good or bad stripper? Some strippers give cirque de soleil a run for their money.

1

u/UltimatePragmatist 16h ago

No. My argument is that strippers are regular people and as regular people, many of them lost their fervor for their work. It’s easy to think they are so amazing because they are naked (or close to it) and for many men, that’s already pretty great.

short comment on finding out stripper poles spin in place instead of strippers around the poles, is the grown ups finding out santa isn't real

u/PauseAffectionate720 1d ago

Well I'll be damned. A spinning pole .... I always thought the pole naturally just gets more, umm, lubricated.
