You Know You’re a Pole Dancer When …
Whether we’re beginners or pros, pole dancing guarantees we all have something in common. See how many of these sound like you – and share a laugh reading through them with all your pole buddies!
1. You schedule a pole dance lesson at 9:00 p.m. on a Sunday, because it’s the only time you have available.
2. You get up to pole first thing in the morning – and you haven’t been up before noon in years.
3. You redecorate your house based on where you’re most likely to break out with an impromptu pole dance.
4. Someone says, “How are you,” and you say the humidity’s been kicking your butt, but you finally managed to nail that knee hold.
5. You drive through traffic in a zoned-out fog, visions of pole dancers twirling in your head.
6. You put more concealer on your legs than on your face.
7. You never lift weights but still have the best arms of anyone you know.

10. Your closet has become a storehouse for dozens of platform boots.
11. Your sweetheart’s friends are in awe at his good luck.
12. You dream of running off to join the circus – and your friends suspect one day you actually will.
13. Your chiropractor asks you how you hurt yourself and you launch into a 10-minute explanation of your struggles learning the Spatchcock.

LOL my cousin went with me to all the rental houses I was considering with her tape measure to make sure the pole would fit in the main room.
My friends understand me, my cousin instigated the madness upon me last year.

How many car accidents have I almost gotten in daydreaming I was pole dancing to the song playing on the radio.
Today it was the “use somebody” song by the Kings of Leon.
Ha ha! Great list!
I can add this one: when you go around looking for a new home, the first thing you look for is not the bathroom or the closet space, but if it has suitable places to set up your pole!
I’m going to take a look at a loft today. Normally a loft would be heavenly, but now I’m more worried about all the ceilings being slanted. If it doesn’t have any horizontal ceiling space I have nowhere to set up my X-pole and I just have to turn down the whole apartment! :-S
My friends doesn’t quite understand me…
