3. We aren’t always confident and body-positive.
If you believe you’ll be able to skip all that, “Honey, does this make me look fat?” nonsense because your girlfriend is the hottest thing since whipped cream, think again. Even though she may make lots of money from her beauty, sexiness, dancing skills, and ability to seduce hundreds of men in a single day, it doesn’t necessarily equate with her being anywhere near confident about her worth or self-value.
You’ve heard of “fake it ’til you make it.” For strippers, it’s more like just keep faking it until you leave the business. Even if your girl starts out feeling confident about her looks, chances are that the constant demeaning names thrown her way on the daily will take a toll on how she feels about herself.
So rather than having a super hero beauty queen, you may have to constantly reassure her that she’s valuable, beautiful and perfect just the way she is.
