But yes, I do think women in general are respectful. Personally I think that the portrayal of male strippers in media is often exaggerated. While a few wild outbursts indeed happen, most of the women are behaving respectful. The amount of hooting is minimum, and groping rarely happen, in fact most women will ask you if they can touch you if they desire to do so. Of course I realize that things may turn out a bit wilder during bigger shows, I'm talking on the basis of doing private shows for smaller groups of women. There will usually be anything between 1 - 20 women attending my shows.<br /><br />Age and background may also be a factor, my clients tend to be between 35-45 and the atmosphere is generally relaxing. t thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948799658574748744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427849323464039196.post-42557739314833193662012-10-22T15:26:08.213-04:002012-10-22T15:26:08.213-04:00Sorry, I just saw this comment.

It did seem like they interacted a little more and a little too quickly with the audience than would be expected. Also, since you're available to ask...do you find that the women in your audience are largely respectful? I've always wondered how male entertainers actually feel about that.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846980215552421591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427849323464039196.post-27959368167377393082012-10-01T01:39:56.918-04:002012-10-01T01:39:56.918-04:00I think this movie was ok, but there were some dis...I think this movie was ok, but there were some disappointments as you mentioned. In addition, as a guy who's doing some male strip shows myself I found some of the scenes a tad artificial and exaggerated, especially some of the male-customer interaction. I'd never interact like that unless asked to do so by my audience. In some ways I think this movie also objectified women, which was a surprise, and I'm left pondering about that. Some people argue that it's still a movie that's seen trough the male gaze despite the fact that it is targeted to a female audience, and that it would have been different if the editor was female. <br /><br />Nevertheless, I think it's a start of an evolution that will end up on catering a lot more to the female gaze and it's an acknowledgment that there sure is some interest among women to watch movies like this considering the fact that it was more or less a blockbuster. In a society where more and more women achieve higher education and enter the workforce and even overtakes men, this trend will continue, and you already see more and more movies with shirtless men while the female characters do not put their bodies on display as before. The argument that women aren't visual beings has been dismissed and I think more (visual) entertainment offers for women will enter the scene. I can only speak for myself in this matter, but I do think the demand for male strippers are on the rise, I've had a lot more jobs recently than just a couple of years ago, so there has been a rapid development.t thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00948799658574748744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427849323464039196.post-19250531451202087232012-08-08T20:06:27.130-04:002012-08-08T20:06:27.130-04:00I do know, and I'm glad we were able to see it...I do know, and I'm glad we were able to see it and discuss, my friend.Trishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08846980215552421591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427849323464039196.post-20755857620031506552012-08-08T17:14:19.060-04:002012-08-08T17:14:19.060-04:00As you know since we saw the movie together, I agr...As you know since we saw the movie together, I agree.lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15387261486143941395noreply@blogger.com
