It seems the old "you are what you do" point of view is more widespread than I thought. I've seen it myself in my working life (Government worker). The risk is that you start gradually narrowing your social spectrum down to a point that only includes those related to your line of work. This kind of social stagnation slowly drowns the soul. Call it "waterbordom" for lack of a better term.

Be good at what you do and be proud of it. Travel in any social circles you choose and to hell with those too weak to handle it. You not only don't need em' but they're taking up space that could be better occupied by someone more secure and open minded.

By the way; I love your work on "Popporn!" The other girls pale in comparison.

Yeah, I've seen this shit a lot. I was really supe...

Yeah, I've seen this shit a lot. I was really super lucky to start dancing when I was already in a stable, long-term relationship. I don't know if I could start dating someone while I was dancing. I would just be too paranoid about the other persons hang-up or preconceived notions.

There are some decent guys out there though. Good luck finding one ^_^

That really sucks. I presume your new ex knew you...

That really sucks. I presume your new ex knew your occupation going into the relationship; if so, he probably thought it was cool at first ("i'm dating a stipper!") but it sounds like his own insecurities set in, especially when it might have been apparent you were making much more money than he was. A scenario played out all too often.

Wishing you the best, and hoping you don't let setbacks in your personal life affect the short-and long-term goals you have set for yourself.
