Dancing was fun, it its own way, and was a good job for me. I'm glad I was able to do it when I did, and I remember most of my time dancing with fondness. However, I'm DOUBLY glad I found this little world when I did. It's a much better fit for me and my personality.

Not in my experience. Maybe I've just been lucky, but the amount of competitiveness I've encountered has been minor. Most ladies realize that the pool of "customers" is so large, the idea that we're competing for them is ridiculous. Also, the reference system we use as providers promotes cooperativeness -- most of us understand that to get references (and, consequently, business), you have to be willing to give them too. Besides, the real need to protect ourselves from harmful situations strongly encourages us to band together and create support/alert networks. Dancing has no equivalent information sharing system that I can think of.
Well, except when we would go back to the dressing room and gossip about the Big Spender in the corner chair who thought he'd get to feel you up for
a whole dollar. The jig is up, Captain Molesto. Take your creepy thin basketball shorts and poky boner and inflated sense of entitlement home plz.
Hey, I said I remembered most of my time dancing fondly, not all of it.
