  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.
