Maybe it’s the studio you are going to. Try another studio if you can. Shop around a bit. Also when you aren’t progressing the way you hoped it tends to take the wind from your sales. Think back to what made you want to do pole in the first place. For me I like to look at other performers beginner to advance and I get so excited and jazzed that I’m like I have to try that. Even if I can’t do it at that time I just keep at it. Once you get overly frustrated with moves etc. take a break. it’s ok to lose the motivation from time to time, sometimes you get burnt out or other things get in the way. I stopped poling for a year because I was moving from an apartment to a house all by myself. My hubby was on deployment, so I didn’t put up my pole until last month. Let me tell you I feel like a beginner all over again. I’ve lost strength, gained weight, and I lost some motivation, but then I realized how good I was before I had to stop and I told myself if I did it once I can do it again. =)

You might have to get one special made. The studio that I go to used to have 18′ poles and she had to get them special made.

I’m right with you. I moved in to a house almost a year ago and we finally ripped out the carpet to expose the hardwood floor underneath. I’m excited and nervous to reunite with my newest and dearest friend. It’s been about a year since I’ve poled. I feel brand new all over again. Also I lost some height from the last place I lived, so I can’t really climb. I get 1 1/2 climbs. I’ve gained so much weight myself. Within a year I went from 128lbs to 161lbs. I’m ready to get the weight off and get back to it. Yay!!!

looks like a tik-toc move. Oh someone already answered it.

I messed up my shoulder a little. Immediately I went to my doctors office and he referred me to physical training. Where I got a great shoulder massage every time I went. Oh it was heavenly.

Not every guy is going to like it and you know what I say to that? Fine. are you doing this for you or are you doing this for him? As long as you are doing it for you then he can sulk and be rudy-poo all he wants. You keep learning and training and having fun. Don’t let his view of what pole is take that away from you. Even if he doesn’t like it he should support you because it makes you happy. He can poo-poo it in private or in his journal. I’m with Tesar, what other dreams, goals, and hobbies will he stomp on just because he wants to not be impressed by it? I don’t want to say dump him because he may have positive qualities that we are unaware of, but if he continues to be rude and negative about something you truly like then you may want to revisit why is he your boyfriend if he can’t support you in some way? We aren’t asking him to fall back on his butt gobbed-smacked, screaming, “WOW THAT WAS AMAZING HOW DID YOU DO THAT? I’M SO IMPRESSED!!!” I know a win for me is if he can glance at me and not sneer or say a negative remark while I’m practicing. That’s a win for me.

Juna I used to live in Henderson CO over by the South Platte. My parents and sister still live there though. Now I live in San Diego. I joined the Navy and now I’m Navy spouse.

ROFLMBO! The new drunken party trick!

Firebird,
You lost me at the numbers. Are those like run times or mathematics. Either way I don’t do well at either one. If I saw that on a car. All you would see me do the blink, blink then lean over to my hubby and ask very quietly I don’t want anyone else to know that I don’t know; “What does that mean?” lolI thought that was great advice too.

Well it’s like stated before it’s all on perception if you see it as a snarky my wife is better than yours then oh well that’s you. my hubby wears it cause he loves that I pole. It’s no different then the cross-fit stuff that is out there. Some merchandise gives off the “If you don’t cross fit then you aren’t working hard enough. I don’t see it that way, but some people do. Remember that uproar over that lady that was in a bikini with her 3 children and the caption said “What’s your excuse”? So many people thought that she was “Fat Shaming” I didn’t not feel that way. I mean dang she has 2 businesses and 3 children, and she was in phenomenal shape. I however don’t have any kids and I work one full-time job. Why am I not in better shape. (Not her shape, but better shape). So what is for one person isn’t for another that is society and reality, it’s where we live. If you can’t do it that has nothing to do with me. That’s ALL YOU. There are classes and lessons that will teach you how to do it. Then you will cross over from not being able to do it, to attempting it and if you stick with it, being able to do it. People aren’t going to always like what we do. I’m just not sensitive, to what people post. My Hubby better think that I’m better than someone else’s wife or I may have a problem. Hello! =)
I’m not out to appeal to other women’s husbands, i don’t think any of us are, but if we feel sexy, strong, and confident doing this then screw the haters! Let them sit in there self doubts and whatever low self-esteem that they got going on and you do you. Make no apologies. Life’s too short to overly care about what people think of you. As for comparing I did it with a 9 year old. Lol, I was in a contortion class and it’s mostly kids and the little girl did a chest stand and brought her little feet to her head and said, “Can you do this?” Knowing good and darn well I couldn’t. So I smiled at her and said, “No, but I can drive and stay up past 9P.M., can you?!” That was snarky and funny and we had a good time in our class together she gave me one of the best pieces of advice. “Don’t eat before coming to class cause you don’t want to fart on your head.” We compare even when we don’t know it, we may not always say it out loud or post it for all the world to see. We’re all different we all live our lives differently. If you don’t post things like that, good on you you’re not that type of person. If you do rock on, but be mindful that not everyone is going to like what you post. -
I don’t take it as I’m better than you. I see it as someone being proud of their accomplishment no matter what it is. If I took everything I see as a “I’m better than you gesture”, then I would have to take time to myself and figure out what is missing in my life that I see this person’s choice to post their accomplishment as a Nananana-boo-boo? That’s usually why people hate on others anyway. It’s negativity in themselves (which ever fashion it should show up, bitterness, jealousy, self-hate etc.) that is rising to the surface. Other times it’s just what people were taught to believe and never challenged it. To each it’s own.

Your hubby is correct it all comes down to perception. I got that for my hubby in shirt form and he knows who he can wear it around and who he can’t. His last command was a really laid back command, so everyone thought that it was a cool shirt and that I was the coolest person that they ever met, but on the flip side he would never wear the shirt around some of his relatives because they are still in the dark ages of pole dancing, so it would not go well. people are going to hate if it’s not “normal” to them or if it doesn’t fit into their perception of life and behavior. If you like the sticker and you know that you aren’t skeezy then leave it. If it’s starting to wear on you then maybe you should take it off and just put it on your fridge or something. When you post things you open yourself up to everyone’s opinions.
