You know your a pole dancer when…………
http://www.polexia.net/images/icons/icon12.png You know you're a pole dancer when…
You know you're a pole dancer when….
– you are proud of your bruises.
– you can't find shorts that are short enough.
– you spend more time watching women pole dance than the man in your life.
– you hear a song and immediately rate it for pole compatability.
– you have spent any amount of time trying to convince someone that pole dancing is different than stripping.
– you find that your closet is slowly (or quickly) filling up with plastic shoes with 6 inch heels and plastic boots that range in height from ankle to thigh-high and previously, the highest heel you ever wore were 1 inch sturdy shoes.
– you've cleared everything you possibly can out of your family room to make space for your pole.
– your husband gets a huge grin on his face when you say you're going to work out.
– you walk past your husband in platform heeled black boots a bra and teeny shorts and he glances at you and then goes back to whatever he was doing.
– you're looking at every stop sign, lamp post, children's playground thinking, "I wonder if I can do a invert on that?"
– your kids are so familiar with pole moves from watching you watch YouTube obsessively that they can critique you pretty well when you're practicing. "Mommy, you should keep your back straighter when you do that!"
– you have to schedule life events (weddings, balls) around poling so you won't be bruised in pictures.
– you get ceiling height envy.
– you took the furniture out of the guest room to make a pole room and your company has to sleep on the couch.
– you assess the weather each day wondering how it will affect your grip more than to see what you should wear.
– you have to explain to other people, especially doctors and anyone that sees you unclothed, why you are bruised so bad.
– people have thought you were abused from all your bruises.
– you're asked "what's new?" and the first thing that goes through your head is the move you nailed the other day.
– you start a detailed description of your last practice with non-polers, easily forgetting that they don't know what you're talking about when you say "inverting", etc.
– you get the biggest grin whenever people ask you if you work out.
– you won't buy certain shoes because you're afraid the buckles or whatever may scratch your pole.
– your husband/boyfriend doesn't bat an eye when he walks in the room and you're hanging upside down.
– you get strange looks from people when you're going through the store shopping for work-out clothes saying things like "no there won't be enough skin showing if I get that one!"
– you have a huge bookmarks/favorites list in your web browser for pole dancing.
– you dream about pole dancing and/or pole in your sleep.
– you can dance in those 6-inch clear heels, but can't walk across the room in them.
– "Peek-a-boo" is a bad word… won't even say it to a baby.
– you have to think long and hard about how to respond to the question "So, what do you do for fun?"
– you've answered the door in your pole workout clothes and made whoever was there blush.
– you know exactly, to the second, how long it takes for you to take down your pole when company is on their way over.
– your child's behavior on the fireman pole on the playground has been the reason for several parent-teacher conferences.
– your day-time shoes are falling apart but you find yourself passing up buying "real" shoes because you would rather spend your money on hot red stilettos.
– you judge every house by its flooring and ceiling height.
– your pole gets wiped clean more often than your coffee table.
– you rate couch cushions for their cushioning ability under your pole.
– you go to your hairdresser and ask to cut your hair in a way that it may floooow when you turn your head (and even demonstrate).
– you walk into a club and instantly start wondering weather their poles are steel or chrome, spinny or static.
– you stopped using lotion because it makes you too darn silky smooth – you have tricks to do!
– you just can't find mirrors big enough.
– someone asks if your heels are stripper shoes and you say "No! Those are my workout shoes!"
– you have ever replaced carpet with a hardwood floor so you could be more stable in your heels.
– you are willing to loose you security deposit on your apartment in order to keep your crappy pole up (Peek-a-boo, Flirty Girl, etc.) despite the damage it's doing to your floors and ceiling while you're waiting for a good one to be delivered, just so you can keep poling.
– you intend to go clothes shopping for work or personal and end up searching for that perfect top or shorts to pole dance in instead of regular clothes. -

THIS IS SO SO TRUE… HAD ME GRINNING !!!
-
Love it!
-
So funny and true!!!! Love it!!

Great list!
I definitely pole dance in my sleep. And in it I am freaking amazing! Then I wake up and realize it's another cold, dry daymaking leg grip impossible.
I'm also a big clutz and can't walk in my pole shoes. I have absolutely no co-ordination at all without my pole.
-
Omg this list is AMAZING!!!!!!! I couldn't stop laughing!! So true! Good job
-
IN LOVE with this post …This is the best!!! Thanks for posting this, it gave me such a good laugh 🙂 Can I add one more lol… "when you find your flipping your hair and practicing seated body rolls while in the car stopped at a red light" or ummm am I the only one who does this?? https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif LMAO
-
Fantastic post! I can relate to all of this and the dancing in your car 🙂
-
I totally get all that..so funny!
-
" you're looking at every stop sign, lamp post, children's playground thinking, "I wonder if I can do a invert on that?""
I was out the other day and thats all that went trough my mind!
-
I agree Laura
I was at the park the other day with friends, who don't pole, they think I am mad when I say." look at the frame on the swings, I am so tempted to Invert" … they think I am nuts!!
-
"I wonder if I can do a invert on that?"
haha I don't know if there's a day this doesn't go through my mind! Unfortunately I don't think any of the playgrounds near where I currently live have poles the right size, and it's rare to find a street sign that isn't made with one of those square metal posts that have the holes running down the sides (although I did find one and have a picture of a ckr on it on my profile!). Lately on my way home at night I've been walking up to young trees and shaking them a bit to see how sturdy they are…I'm sure I look like a crazy person! ;b
And of course, the rest of this list is completely true too!!! 😀
-
This is an addictive sport. Thanks for the post.
-
So tell me, am I the only one that does hip circles in the car while driving on the highway to work and wish I could wear my stilettos to work without wiping out in the showroom?
And Yes! It is the most addictive sport!
-
viper, I don't think you're alone. I do pelvic tilts when I'm waiting at the red lights. One way or another, I need better abs.
-
It is by far the truest list I've seen. I am dreaming of the day I can invert on my own and do a beautiful decending angel.
-
Love the list, and will add one more…I am a nurse and work at a hospital. I do not know how many here are RN's, but the IV poles are extremelly atractive to me and every time I have the opportunity and I am ALONE! I try to move around them humming a song in my mind…Is that sick? Please tell me that some one else does it too.
-
Yeah, nurse here too…and you are not alone…my co-workers love it when I am setting up a patient room and I say "I'm just gonna grab a pole"…and they say…"Bring is STRAIGHT to the room"..lol
So, no, you are not alonehttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
Yeah,JennPoleL…Nurses rock!

You know you're a pole dancer when your hands are so dry the tops of them are cracked and bleeding but you refuse to put lotion on because it will make the pole slippery.
-
I have only been poling for a bit but I already do most of these…LOL the one about your child in school with the fireman pole…they haven't called but I am glad my grandson only has a few more of weeks of school. He is so excited now that he can do 4 or 5 different spins…but he says he told the teacher his nana's pole spins at home.. geez. I just smile when I go to the school on Fridays sharing time time with the kids. I think they probably think..nah she's too old to be doing that anyway must be something else.
I guess if he starts inverting this summer …. well I might have to buy anoter pole. 😉
-
I know this is old, but I got a few new ones:
You know you're a pole dancer if you try to do the splits in the changing room when trying on shorts to test whether they are pole safe… and hope that no one accidentally walks into the room.
You know you're a pole dancer when you try to climb the heating tube in the lady's room at work … just to try out how the diameter feels.
You know you're a pole dancer with some strength if you actually manage to climb that tube!
You know you're a pole dancer with a small ceiling at home if after one climb you get scared of the height and jump down.
You know you're a pole dancer if every time you meet the heating tube in the lady's room at work you silently greet it like an old friend.

LOL this is a cute thread. Thank you for this.https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_biggrin.gif
-
You know you're a pole dancer when you know you have pole kisses AND it isn't even something "dirty" lol
-
Lol, I didn't even start pole dancing yet but I already do some of these! 😀 Oh and… "you walk past your husband in platform heeled black boots a bra and teeny shorts and he glances at you and then goes back to whatever he was doing." I don't want that! 😀
