Poling and Dating, Dating and Poling

I haven't read the others responses so someone may have said this already. I told my now boyfriend on our first date that I pole, exactly what it's about (I remember being militant about how I was NOT AN EXOTIC DANCER AND NEVER DO IT NAKED haha I'm sure he thought I was nuts!) But I would never want to date anyone who wasn't okay with it. It is a big part of who I am and if you don't like it then don't date me. Same with my tattoos, if you don't like them don't look at them! I realize it's not for everyone but I personally couldn't date someone who couldn't accept it especially when there are so many men out there who do accept it. This weekend I went to a tattoo convention and my friend's husband got a pole dancing pin up inked on his forearm, talk about supportive!

Glitter, speaking of tatts, I am waiting to see a picture of yours! 🙂

Great thread!
I've been poling on and off for 4 years now, and throughout this time, I've been single. I'm interested in getting back into the dating game and the responses you all have given thus far have been very helpful!

I used to use an online dating service, I mentioned I was athletic and working early on my bucket list, (pole & all forms of dance) never actually mention “pole dance/fitness”.
When I went on a date he brought up the bucket list, we happened to be walking around the parking lot, I did a pirulotte (? Spell? The twirlie thing) into a climb sit/hold (really cold really thick sign post). And said I’m learning as much as I can in different dance forms, also looking for a foxtrot partner. Smiling. He was interested but other things ceased any relationship.
Be honest and dont brag about the pole burns for awhile if he’s supportive. -
What a great thread!! I loved reading all of these responses!
I'm newly single and have gone on a few dates. Usually the topic comes up when the whole, "So what do you do for fun" conversation begins. I loved how Cherished described it, the way you deliver it can sometimes dicate the kind of response you'll get. I say it matter of factly and then judge the guy on his response. If he's not ok with it, then he's not the guy for me. A lot of guys I've gone out with find it intriguing and we end up talking about the strength it takes, how I got into it, what it's like, etc. If the guy isn't politely blown away then I get annoyed LOL Poling is something incredible and unique!, it's something to be proud of !!!! 🙂

This is funny. I tell all my dates that I pole dance. I usually tell them that I do silk or acro first, to soften the blow, and so they don't picture me naked on a pole. Ha ha. If they are too close minded to hear you explain what it is that you are interested in, kick em to the curb!
