BellaOnline Forums Food and Wine Beer & Brewing Hooters Girls - What's YOUR opinion?

What about your co-workers, PinkPrada86? Do they have any comments? Do they all feel as positive as you do?

Is it true all Hooters Girls (besides showing great skills at service) have to have the ability to Hula Hoop?

I figure that anyone who wants to degrade themselves is more than welcome to, it's their choice. I won't eat there because I don't want my daughters to be hooters girls, but I dont have a problem with anyone else (even my hubby) going there.

Places like this reinforce the concept that beauty (of which boob size is one factor) is more important than kindness, intelligence, and personality.

And don't forget "if you don't dress/act this way, you're not good enough." How dare some of us women wear proper clothing.

Doesn't it give men a chance to laugh at themselves?

Somehow I doubt laughing is what they're doing...

I have been to hooters and I don't care for the food. I also don't care for TGIFridays or Ruby Tuesday which are the boobless clones IMO. I can't stand eating wings either, ewwww, there's like a bone in there!

Well my 2 cents worth, I am one of those people who really don't care what they look like, just have good food and good service. I am so glad Pinkprada86 brought up the fact that these girls have goals in mind and I also agree it is no different than a casino or a bar. I was never a playboy bunny or a hooters girl but I was a size 4/5 for years and I can tell you it meant alot of nonsense comments from people who were certainly "so surprised" when they found out I do have a brain because of this I never try and judge someone by looks but by their actions.

Im blonde i can relate!!!!

Hmm, I made more than $100 a day while in college and working a part-time night job as an assistant to a psychologist. And that was over 10 years ago.

If a person wants to find an open door to a modeling career, why not work a car show? At least there you just stand there and you make well over $100 a day. Some of those girls get $1000 for one 2-day car show.

Men will always look at beauty, but fawning over someone because my boss told me I had to? Nuh-uh.

Yes, the other girls feel exactly the same as I do. This is a job they love doing and there is NOTHING wrong with that. If one particular woman feels offended then she doesn't have to apply to work or eat there. It is each woman's own choice. The women's rights movement guarenteed my right to choose whatever job I want whether it be working in a law office (which I've done many times before) or working at Hooters. Other women should not get so angry over what is worn because the girls that work at Hooters aren't necessarily AGAINST wearing them either. When they apply they know what they are doing. And no, you don't have to know how to use the hula hoop. I'm not very good at it. :-p

To Meg_Homeschooling - Yes, anyone CAN do what they please but I don't think being a Hooters Girl DEGRADES them. It is actually insulting that another woman would feel that way because I don't think my value is lowered at all for being a working student. The women's rights movement gave me the right to choose my job and I chose Hooters. I am not better or worse than you for choosing this job. And it ESPECIALLY doesn't degrade me. It's a shame to think some women would say that about me, a hooters girl, without knowing me. I attend one of the best schools in the nation, currently have a 3.67 gpa, was a college cheerleader, help my parents with expenses with my job, organize and participant in MANY community service events such as raising money for breast cancer and leukemia...yet I am automatically deprived of self-worth because I happen to wear mini shorts and a tight tank top to work.

I agree with PinkPrada. I do not work at hooters. And i am not a supermodel either. But women do not have to go there to eat if they do not want to. It is your choice to go there or not. Everyone woman has beauty about her. Some more then others. Sometimes it is hard to find the beauty about someone else because they are so damn proud and doesn't get the chance to know the person. And no one should judge a person unless we want to be judge for what we do. That IMO:)
