I will chime in here. Yes, I've dated a stripper. Ask me why? Her body, OMG talk about a body. It just screams "fuck me!!!" However, she was/is totally, and I mean totally fukked in the head. The sex was grrrrrrrreat, but the relationship aspect of it was so fukking volatile it was just ridiculous. It lasted about 3 months.
I think I have a little experience to chime in here also...
I dated one for about 2 years, for 1 year of this she was working as a stripper. Then I married her.
Her body screamed "fuck me"
Can you imagine, short small, thin, cute face but perfectly contortioned silicone to which you couldn't even tell she had implants, you just thought god has blessed her with the best breasts ever. It was only after about 1 month of sleeping with her that I realised she had implants after I saw the small scars at the bottom of her breasts. Maybe I was stupid but they were that good that you couldn't tell they were silicone.
To see her once a week or once a fortnight (like it was in the early stages) was fantastic, never had better sex in my life. But....the relationship aspect is totally f*cked due to volatility. Whether it be daddy issues, f*cked up past or whatever, it was like impossible to maintain a daily level of etiquette or respect. If she got the sh*ts, she would just go out, leave her phone at home and come back drunk when she pleased.
It became a toss up of how much sh*t would you take in order to f*ck her when you could, because I couldn't just picture myself pulling a bird as hot (at least without paying).
If you could imagine dating a nurse or a mature age university student or something you could expect some peace and quiet in your life, but dating a stripper while extremely fun and sometimes extremely sexually satisfying, I just don't see how you can have a "normal" life per say even after they have finished stripping unless they have a big personality change within themselves.
They are people yes, but you will get pissed off in the end if you try to shack up with one for the long run because the character of a girl who is or has been a stripper is not one which is in line with nesting up at home.
