It’s Wednesday night, and I’m listening to club music and watching a dancer gyrate on a pole. I’m tempted to order a drink and watch the show, but I have to remind myself why I’m here at the Condor Club: to talk to the strippers about dating.
A popular myth states that you never see a stripper outside a club; they are a fantasy confined to the inside. Dancers act like they’re available but never actually are. Yet the dancers at the Condor are different: most met their long-term loves right here, stepping out of the fantasy world of stripping into a real-life relationship. (So much for online dating.) You heard that right — all they had to do to find Mr. Right was don a pair of stilettos and shake it.
