s**t that pole dancers say
-
Hilarious!!!
-
I think we should make one from the dance pole manufacturer. LOL
So many one liners I can think of already!
-
^ You totally should!
-
I really do not think that is a good idea as it could turn very ugly very fast. There are facebook groups called Peace and Pole dedicated to pole studios getting along, I really think the manufacturers should adopt this also.
-
To my knowledge, we get along with everyone. We have no problem with any other pole company out there and in fact, we talk to people at other companies via email and by phone frequently.
That's why the video would be great – The first scene in the video would be the people from all of the different companies hanging out together saying "Why do they think we all hate each other"?
We are in the same industry, there's no reason for us to dislike each other and not be friends.
I was thinking more specifically of just one liners when people call us to order a pole or ask quesions about certain products – we would never bash anyone else.

I was thinking that it would turn into the ugliness that has reared its head here (and on facebook) on numerous occasions. I saw that as "things manufacturers say", not as "things that get said to manufacturers".
-
I don't think talking or poking fun at your customers would be the best idea…..
-
I like the idea Erica posted because I am sure all the manufacturers get repetitive comments, we are the same target audience. Maybe different demographics/price points but we acquire poles.
Due to various sensitivities I can understand why some may not feel it is appropriate. Or that how if a manufacturer participated in the concept it could easily be manipulated into something ugly. We can find ugliness in anything that we seek to find it in.
I have enjoyed the videos in this thread and like that there is a sense of humor out there regarding common observations and themes that pole dancers commonly encounter.
-
And to add a funny comment for Erica, I have a PS pole, and had some issues (very well handled). When I called the customer service line I made sure to clarify – "I'm NOT a stripper, this is for home fitness." Like I need to justify myself to somebody on the phone LOL! Customer service was very professional, it was my own reaction that was funny!

Thanks @JeHanne
I kinda meant more poking fun at ourselves not at our customers. If you can't laugh at yourself, then I think you're taking life way too seriously.
I'm a very free-spirited, fun-loving person and I laugh at myself all of the time. After all, laughter is healing for the soul.
Just thought maybe some things that were cutesy and funny would be fun. Like when guys call in to order a pole for their girlfriends and they have no idea what to order and then are super confused and say things like, "Wait, what? There are that many different types of poles?" Because they do not always realize that there are different types of poles. Or cute little stuff like that.
We hear that all the time when guys sometimes call to order a pole as a gift and we start asking "Stainless Steel" or "Brass" "2 in, 1.75 in or the new 1.5 in/38 mm diameter?"
I always think it's adorable how the boyfriends or husbands want to get the perfect pole for their loved one. <3
Or the other day, I was talking to a customer about the new super skinny pole in brass that will be available in a couple of weeks. Well he was on the phone with me placing an order for the Super Skinny in stainless steel and when he heard it was coming out in brass he said, "Oh no! You're coming out with ANOTHER new pole? Well my wife will have to have it too, so I guess that means you'll be hearing from me again in a couple of weeks."
He was the most adorable husband ever!
So I meant things like that.
We would never make fun of anyone else.
In reality, we are way too busy to make one of these videos – just thought it might be funny. I love it when we're laughing and sharing together.

@poleclimber – LOL Don't worry that's not the 1st time we've heard that.
-
Not to hijack this but along these lines….where I work is very restrictive on all fronts. I cannot call one of the manufacturers toll free numbers because it has "976" in it.
-
Erica, after the way people who represent your company talked about myself and reacted to Chem on FB…..well, I think you could see why we would be concerned with how those same people, who represent your company, might react to a video…..I'm glad to hear you planned on being silly and lighthearted.
I truly care about pole dancers, and everyone wins when all are treated with respect. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif

I thought that "things that get said to manufacturers" is called a FAQ? The Platinum Stages website is missing a FAQ.

things pole dancers say – how about…."I can NOT dance to THAT song…." or "poles are so cold" or "its not what you think it is"… & at home…"kids get off my pole"
