Update and New Questions

I had an interesting show last weekend that resulted in a really wild time worthy of a story. It will take time to write, so bear with me. My recent schedule only allows me limited time to write. In the meantime, I haven't posted male stripping questions in awhile, so I'll post a few recent ones along with some answers.

1st Question:
"Does it matter how tall you are to become a male stripper?"

My Answer:
Yes, in a way. 6'0 or a little taller is the ideal height. Some agents recommend platform boots for guys under 5'10. If you're around 5'0 to 5'6, then your chances are slimmer. If you're shorter than 5'0, you can try to become one of those midget strippers. Believe it or not, there is a market for them.

2nd Question:
"How do you think the role your ethnicity plays in this industry? Do you think a full Asian male stripper would struggle getting booked for gigs?

My Answer:

My ethnicity doesn't play a huge role as far as getting gigs. Most women assume I'm a white guy coming to their party anyway. If I tell them I'm part Asian afterward, they still treat me the same.

Ethnicity mostly matters concerning parties with black women. Most black women only want to book black men. So a black male stripper would benefit more from this market.

Regarding a full Asian male stripper getting gigs, I think it's easily possible if the guy has his check marks in all the right boxes. I knew a Japanese guy when I worked in Japan who was 6'0 tall with an aesthetic bodybuilder look and a face that women found appealing. Whenever he went to North America or Europe for business, women would eat him up.

Ethnicity does not determine the total package of someone. That answer would be genetics.
