Club Fatigue

I am starting to become fatigued with the same games, the same stories, the same get-to-know-you-chatter, etc., et al, in the clubs that I visit. I spend a lot of nights in a lot of clubs each year, both locally and in other states, but there just doesn't seem to be very much novelty in it anymore. And with this loss of novelty, I find my patience wearing thin at times, especially with new girls and those who use the same canned lines.
Even the wilder stories told by dancers don't phase me anymore. I have heard enough stories about babies, baby daddy drama, prison stints (dancer and baby daddy), child custody issues, drugs, abusive relationships, etc., to last me lifetime I've even had a couple of girls share stories about being sexually abused as children. At a certain point in the game, these stories have turned from being fascinating to simply depressing.
The fatigue issue that I am experiencing even applies to my OTC adventures, of which there are many in any given year. Same little song and dance to get to that point, same types of hotel meet-up procedures, same general experiences, etc. It has come to the point that when I score at a club or successfully arrange takeout, it is almost anti-climactic. It is almost as if the chase is better than the catch, but even that has lost its thrill.
My clubbing is largely road-based, but the fatigue has now even extended into one of my local clubs. Over the past couple of years, I gave the whole fav/regular gig a test run and I am equally tired of that dynamic. The drama and ownership issues got ridiculous at times, particularly a couple of years back when I made the mistake of becoming a serious contributor to a dancer's income for a time. Now I admittedly had a lot of fun ITC and OTC with her and another girl who took her place in my lineup when she retired, but it was just not worth the hassles.
Now every once in a while there will be something fun or unique that will throw a little excitement into this mix. I have taken a couple of girls out to other clubs, which was fun. I have also had some OTC adventures involving dinner and other entertainment BEFORE the hotel finishes, most of which I have also enjoyed. There was even one girl last year who decided she wanted a dip in the hotel pool at midnight. But these are exceptions to the norm and most of my experiences are more plain vanilla.
I am becoming tired of most of the games and other bullshit associated with clubbing, yet continue to feel drawn to clubs as my primary form of entertainment. It is a Catch 22 indeed.
