  Let's go heading by heading:
  1) Providing customer service to people who frequently engage in inappropriate and dangerous behavior in a potentially dangerous environment.
  Strip clubs have security (bouncers). These bouncers are the type to punch first and ask questions later. They also have strict directives to keep the customers a certain distance away from the dancers. So, you could argue that they were in a more hazardous occupation, but this hazard is offset by working in one of the most protected occupations. Those work in normal jobs don't typically have a private security force to protect them. A McDonald's cashier has no security from an angry customer. If you Google "most dangerous jobs" you will not find stripper up there.
  2) Clubs are fast pace environments. Probably faster paced than most fast-pace offices.
  This is probably the weakest of your arguments. What exactly is fast-pace? You say that going from a pole to a private dance is an example, but that is simply going from one job to another. Someone working at McDonald's scooping fries and then going to ice cream machine seems comparable. Working at your desk and then going to the conference room for a meeting is also similar. That is hardly "fast-paced," or at least is not a pace unique to the stripping occupation.
  3) In addition to customer service, strippers must pole dance in a fast pace environment.
  Granted, strippers need to be in good physical condition, usually. However, how do you compare something like a physical activity like pole dancing to logging or fishing? Also, not all strippers pole dance. Your source about dancers being a harmful job is a bit misdirected. These stats include a lot of professional dancers who do nothing but dance or train for maybe 14 hours a day, every day. I could be mistaken, but I don't think stripper dance for that long. If a stripper does an eight hour shift, how much time does she actually dance, and how much time does she just roam around the club chatting up the customers?
  4) A combination of Strength, Dexterity, Endurance, Agility, Wisdom, Intelligence and Charisma are required for this job. Yep, all the D&D stats.\
  Let's be real, it's not hard for a naked girl to please most men. I agree that they need to be in good physical shape, but the other elements are less than necessary. Also, I think the stripper you imagine is the one working at the top club in Las Vegas, earning maybe thousands of dollars a night. This is certainly not the case for a stripper working at a biker bar off the highway. In terms of personality, the average strippers simply needs to be nice to talk to, which is not much different than any retail worker. Intelligence wise, you don't need an education to be stripper. You don't need to spend any time in school or do any type of academic training. Even tradesmen have to do some schooling most of the time in order to get their competency.
  5) Just like retail, the job has variable hours on variable days
  Strippers not the only people to work odd hours. Anyone that works in shifts works in the night as well. This includes and is not limited to:
  
  Emergency services
  Utility workers
  Construction
  Industrial jobs
  Transportation workers
  Workers at 24 hour stores/restaurants
  
  6) Since stripping is frequently looked down on or considered taboo, strippers must also hide their occupation from family, friends, among others.
  That is certainly an issue, but that does not make the job harder, but rather it makes life harder.
  In short, I would agree with you that stripping is perhaps not that easy of a job as some would think. However, the estimate that it is harder than 90% of jobs is ridiculous.

  Sure, there are certainly many aspects of being a stripper that are very demanding and challenging. However, the difficulties of a job are subjective and can vary widely from person to person. What one person finds stressful or physically demanding may not be the same for another.
  Also, the fact that a job is physically or mentally demanding does not necessarily make it more valuable or deserving of respect. There are many jobs that are physically or mentally demanding that are not highly paid or respected, and vice versa.
  And the idea that being a stripper should provide a "competitive edge" as opposed to being viewed as a red flag is a subjective opinion and not necessarily a widely-held view. Employers and individuals may have a variety of reasons for viewing certain occupations as red flags, and these views may not necessarily be based on the difficulties or demands of the job itself.
  Last but not least, it's important to recognize that all jobs have their own challenges and rewards, and to respect the choices and circumstances of individuals who choose to pursue them. >
  
  I agree with most of your posts, however there are reasons I consider stripping more difficult.
  1: The average age is 23. If it weren't difficult, a lot more strippers would be in it for the long haul. And those who are able to do it long-term have an encyclopedia of skills.
  2: Being able to deal with a "taboo" occupation and navigate yourself is a feat in of itself. When you apply for a job, you are selling yourself. Being able to sell things is what sales do; and strippers do it all the time.
  But yes, I agree with most of your post. So i'll give you a Δ although it doesn't really change my view. >

  Competitive edge in what aspect of life? >
  
  The dancing I guess >
  
  1) The danger aspect is mostly mitigated or handled by bouncers. You want a customer service job that deals with danger? Mini-mart cashiers are on their own, THAT's a demanding job.
  As far as customer service goes, strippers generally have no management review. They may be good or bad at it. And while that can effect their bottom line and there is incentive to work hard at it, the demand for their service is such that a baseline acceptable customer service goes a long way if they're reasonably attractive.
  2 and 3) Less fast paced than your average fast food restaurant. I could dig into every detail here, but I'll just pick your dancer stat. it isn't talking about strippers. Some strippers may take pole dancing to an athletic extreme, most wiggle and grab a pole from time to time. Few train extensively or have to memorize and execute an exacting routine timed to music and coordinated with a group. Your stat is more talking abour ballerinas and broadway dancers. Those are physically demanding jobs. The "dance" at a stripclub is rarely elevated, and not to that level, and most is nothing like it.
  4) No, strippers are not geishas trained in the art of conversation. I feel like you're making things up at this point.
  5) Stripping can be exceptionally flexible and wildly remunerative, giving some the option to work very little. Sure that varies, but that's just another reason not to lump them all in as top 10% hard working jobs.
  6) This one is true, but it doesn't have much to do with hard work, it's just a complication. >
  
  1) There's truth to this, but once they are out of the club they may be followed, or stalked. Also, there are a lot of shootings @ clubs. In addition, non violence injuries such as falling off the pole may occur.
  Strippers usually have to pay house fees and bring money into the club. Why would a club keep a stripper that doesn't generate tips or customers?
  2-3) I'd argue that as pole fitness became more trendy, you will see more and more who go do the upside down tricks. More videos online? Other strippers doing the tricks? It'll catch on. 
  4) If I were to go as a customer and talk about AI - i'd expect the stripper to be able to discuss it with me. If I wanted to talk about physics, same thing.  Need I say more?
  5) There's truth to that - Δ.
  6) Being able to deal with the difficulties is a complication that requires work. >

  Being a hitman is a very difficult job too. Human traffickers and drug smugglers have to look out for tons of details to make sure they don't get caught. 
  etc. >
  
  I like this post so here's a delta. Δ
  Ross Ulbricht definitely had a difficult job, maintaining Silk Road. He had to cover his tracks everywhere he went digitally and physically. And the risks were huge; now he's serving life without parole in a high security USP.
  SBF and FTX are good examples too. Extremely difficult to start a ponzi like that, and even harder to keep it running without getting caught. >
  
  Can't put this at the top level, but these replies are a complete waste. All of them are explaining why stripping isn't hard, despite having precisely zero knowledge about what it's actually like and what the hard parts of the job actually are.
  There are replies here saying that it's actually safe because bouncers and stripping doesn't show up in lists of dangerous jobs.
  The dangerous part of stripping happens outside of clubs, so it doesn't show up in those stats, and bouncers aren't there. I've personally known four girls I knew well who were murdered, and you hear reports of it every week.
   
  People are saying "how hard can it be to dance nude?" despite A: Never having to ever do that themselves and B: That's also not the hard part of the job
  0/10 thread lmao >
  
  Being a stripper doesn't require education or any usefull skill. Only this makes it 90% easier than any other "job" >
  
  I have a job that requires college education and many years of experience. I'd argue MOST jobs that require college education would be easier for me than stripping is. >
  
  
  would be easier for me than stripping
  
  Probably for me too but so is ballet. Doesn't mean anything in a real world. Showing your tits in a club adds ZERO value to the culture or civilisation as a whole >
  
  There are a lot of jobs that aren't any more valuable than that. But being valuable to society is not the same thing as being difficult.
