Well..."not great". And I fully admit that might be completely unfair. In fact I KNO W it's no really fair. But... I just cannot help but be a little turned-off by it... SIMPLY because of the association with strippers. It subconsciouly makes me think of a girl as... I donno more "stripperish"? An admirer of strippers maybe? Someone who wants on some level to be a stripper? I'm not exactly sure.
But I do know one thing, (and this is just me, I am not claiming to be speaking for 'guys" here)... finding out that pole-dancing is a girls hobby makes me subconsciously associate her more closely with "strippers". And... strippers gross me the fuck out to be honest.
Now, it's not like I'm going to not date someone just because they happened to have this hobby. But unlike, swimming, horseback ridding, running, stamp-collecting or most other hobbies... I do end up making assumptions about a person.

There is perhaps a misunderstanding here. The question says... as a hobby and not as a job. Now it is possible her hobby is pole dancing for men without financial reward but I do know of a girl who has a pole set up in her bedroom.
So how do we feel about that? In a lot of ways it is a form of gymnastics and body art (refer pic again). If the hobby was the horizontal bar gymnastics we'd say good on her.
And we probably have to recognize it will make it into the olympics some time in the future.
So Tinytina09 is pole dancing your hobby and is that you in the pic? There are five pole dancing studios close by to where I live so it is quite popular but the girls might be keeping it a bit underground from the guys.
The girl with the private pole in her bedroom teaches little girls to pole dance. I am not sure that this is wise.
Nothing. I kinda wanna try it out myself. My fitness has gone in the rubbish since the pandemic and the amount of strength required to be able to pole dance always made me feel like I'll be so fit if I learn it!

How I feel? They are my closest friends and dance partners. I only do it as a hobby and excecise though. No intention of ever doing it as a job or in public.

Completely fine. it's an acceptable form of exercise in my opinion and it's an acceptable form of entertainment and work, if they so choose to pursue it. Anyone who doesn't like it is either antiquated in their beliefs, or extremely jealous and narcissistic.
Sounds awesome. I know girls who did it for exercise. There are classes for it. Just because it's a popular thing in strip clubs doesn't mean that it's any more lewd than yoga, dance or gymnastics. It's an art form that requires athleticism and is a good way to stay super limber and toned.
I think she is wonderful girl ! One of rare humans on earth cuz not only pole dancing is a rare hobby but doing what u love is incredibly rare in 21st century and that also shows different things about her like she is fit , she has a creative personality, she is gud with balance , she knows how to handle stress and tension... and I can name more if u want to hear
Its like any talent if you are great at it and are professional about it by all means do it. But if your doing it just for the attention and to just be giving sloppy extras to every other guy on the block expect to be treated like the way u act. AKA Don't be surprised if every guy is only hooking up for the 1 night stands.
I think it's degenerate if she is doing it sexually. I have no respect for them really therefore I could never be with them. I would also not want a woman whose interntionally getting sexual attention form other men. The reason I would never date a prostitutes' or a pornstar
its her hobby.
she can do as she wants.
it may lead to a lucrative job if she gets really good at it.
might be a good idea to ensure the pole is secure and there's lots of padding under it.
good insurance - especially one sure to cover neck/back injuries - is a must.I'd say great, lets see your moves... as my primary exercise machine is a pole in my house. I used to dance professionally, now it is just a hobby/exercise machine.
Id be really jealous that she had the body strength to be able to do it. You have to be strong and coordinated to be able to do it properly. That’s before you’re flipping yourself upside down. I’d think it was really cool and good for her if she did.
I know several! It's amazing! Pole is such a difficult sport and it takes so much coordination and strength to do impressive routines.
I really want to do some pole classes next year.I don't care mostly (indifferent), but I find it an interesting choice for women. They say good exercise etc, which may be true, but I don't think it's the only reasons. Plenty of other things that people don't automatically relate to strippers. Perhaps their "inner slut" coming out? lol And I don't mean that in a disrespectful way, just the phrase for my point. Maybe on a subconscious level makes them feel sexy and confident? Even if they are doing it alone.
Hot and would make me want to hit it or even date her but going to be a road block for very serious commitments like marriage for many men.
Let's not pretend there is no relation to stripping and adult industry. Everyone knows half the class are girls that are or thinking about being a stripper. Half the instructors are or were strippers, and you're hanging around them. Not a good look.Most likely doesn’t learn that skill to not show it off…so I’m gunna say attention seeking slut who I’m better off without. There are so many kinds of dance to learn which don’t require props and aren’t associated with strippers so why not learn those? A dance I can join her in?
I am highly impressed!
Pole dancing is quite taxing and you must be great physical shape and really an athlete to be successful at it.
Do you know someone who does that Ms Tina?Polish girls are nice. Wouldn't mind one hanging around. As a non drinker I think its a good fit. I know they careful to never walk into a bar. And they are very pole light.
Sounds like my kind of girl.Zero wrong with it, it’s a brilliant exercise choice for both girls and guys.
also I dated a girl that did it as part of her job.What's so wrong in it? Well it will be extremely wrong only if she wear extremely revealing clothes while performing. Other than that I am really amazed by the strength they have.
Pole dancing is pretty hard and I think it's pretty cool. Might even give it a try.
I wish I’m as flexible as her! Jlo used that as a workout and I’d love to do that as well if I could 😂 . I think it’s hot 🥵
I want to learn to pole dance 🥺 as a hobby or learn things like calisthenics and yoga that make me do cool things with my body that’s arts 🥺
Takes a good bit of skill to do a lot of that. Skill of which I do not possess 🤔
