Answer 15

You MUST be joking. You're not too old, just too fat.

Answer 16

It was a very tough call, but we had to make a decision. I'm sorry Barney, we're going to go with Adrian.

Answer 17

I think that if you want to give it a shot, go for it. Don't be upset when they inform you you might have to lose some weight. I think this is stupid. I don't like skeleton people, but the nature of the business you are interested in pretty much requires it.

:(

Answer 18

Yes, you're getting too old...take up trash collecting...someone has to do it!!

Answer 19

Why can't you people just leave Brittany alone?

Answer 20

I have known guys that strip into their 40's. There are women that would like someone of your description for parties, etc... I recommend going with an agency and do special events. It pays more. Good luck! (and have fun)

Tyler Durden says : "You're too old, fat woman. Your tats are too saggy."

"Get the fark off my stage."

Answer 22

As long as you are really well built, any age really. I know a guy who strips in his 40s. You have to be open to strip for both sexes, to be successful at it. So if you had an idea that you'd be doing it for women only, and being successful, you might want to consider another career.

Answer 23

Answer 30

You're not too old. You're never really "too old". You get "too unattractive".

It all comes down to whether or not you look like someone women/men want in their fantasies. If you're 60 and you look like you're still at your physical peak, then you can strip at 60. The problem is the older you are, the harder it is to have that kind of effect on women/men. It's harder as you get older to keep yourself in that kind of shape physically. Not only that, but your age really starts to show in terms of skin quality and wrinkles. When your age starts catching up to you in which people stop lusting after you, then you're too old. But you can be 28 and look like you're 45 and guess what? You're too "old" even though you're only 28.

And as other people pointed out, you have 2 things going against you.

1) Your weight. Realistically you're not "out of shape". You're fat. A male stripper should probably be under 18% body fat. And that's if they're extremely muscular. If you're just moderately muscular, you'll need to be around 15% and below. So for you, you'll probably need to drop to 160-170 with under 15% body fat.

2) Your height. You're short. Not overly short but you're short. You'll notice A LOT of women in personals will request men at LEAST 5'10". A lot will say ideally over 6 feet.

The bottom line is this. Strippers are desired because they're an ideal approximation of what women/men want their men to look like. That USUALLY means tall, muscular, healthy, and lean. At this moment you're none of those things. Age is the least of your worries.

I hope you realize how difficult it is going to be. You'll probably spend many miserable months dieting and exercising. If you manage to keep it up, then you'll have to worry about the extra skin on your body from being overweight (if it's extreme then you need surgery). Then you'll need to try to get a job which will be hard if you're short.

Answer 31

I was stripping at 30 and stopped very shortly afterwards. A lot of my friends kept going until they approached their forties and one started at 30. But I'm a chick.
You definitely need to be in shape to be a male stripper but lose the pounds and give it a go. The worst that can happen is a couple of clubs turn you down or you don't make any money and decide it isn't going to work out. It won't be the end of the world.
If you do decide to go ahead, my advice would be to lie about your age with clients, if they are younger than you and if you can get away with it.
In my experience most people don't want a stripper much older than they are.
Good luck.
