Recent Reviews

usually just open up the recent review page and hit keyboard keys "ctrl" + "f" and type in "ohio" to help navigate through them.
It would be cool if tuscl made it so it could show the recent reviews for clubs just on your hotlist.

c & d at the same time. :)

I've always had an interest in reading about places I've been and what others think of them. One of the biggest oddities has been my experience at Cheetah's in San Diego versus most other folks. I guess I have just been lucky in getting offered lap dance discounts there. Then again my first visit I spent a bunch in the "Jungle Room", so maybe it all evens out in the end...

I tend to only look at the clubs that I plan to visit in the near future. I use it for research to make sure I get the most bang for my buck when I head out to a club.

a - for research like EDOG65 says; b, c & d more for entertainment purposes.

BTW, when I read the Club X Show Bar review by samsung1, saw that recent club reviews included updates on the bathroom troll. Is that now expected? If so, a disturbing trend.

One thing I don't read is MisterGay's review since they are all phony.

I only included the update on the bathroom troll because a previous review (the one right before me) asked about him.

I don't check the Recent Reviews section. Occasionally I will click on one of the newest reviews on the home page if the first line or two catches my attention. If I want to do any reading for a trip, I just search for the town and drill down from there.

When the top reviewer lists were still around I would scan their write ups just to see what was on their mind, but that feature's been gone a while.

I also sometimes find the reviews for clubs in the top 10 to be interesting to read.

Sam - I was just funning you. Speaking of bathroom trolls, see my latest post.

There are two clubs between which I alternate, and they fluctuate in talent level. I use the reviews to see if the one I found lacking has improved. Sure, I could just drive there, but I hate to drive the 5 add'l miles to find it sucks. LOL

a) I like to read what others are saying about clubs that I have been to or may go to.

b) I like to hear what the posters on here have to say about the clubs. I consider them to be focused on the hobby and have PRO status.

I also like to read the international reviews (ex TJ). I like to compare them with US clubs. Surprisingly, I have found that most are just expensive places to go for eye candy or tourist traps.

A, but I also read reviews of many clubs I visited in the past.

Generally clubs that are within specific geographical areas, or places I've been to, which may amount to the same thing, except I've been to Brad's in Indy, but I don't look at every Indy review, for example.

I use the "find" feature in my browser to search for key terms: locations of interest, and words like "extras."

Mostly a and b. As shadowcat notes, I tend to pay attention to fellow TUSCLer"s observation, a lot more so than some anonymous poster.

In this order---
a) Local stuff always jumps out, and

hybrid) scan for interesting activity at clubs I recognize or cities I know have clubs with liberal rules about contact etc. Don't invest the time to read all new reviews.

b) I'll selectively read reviews by poster names I'm familiar with and whose insights I appreciate, based on this Discussion board.

I look at it for local clubs or clubs I may be in the same area as. Sometimes clubs I have been to in the past catch my attention.

For me, it's mostly option (a). I almost always go to the abbreviated Recent Reviews page (http://www.tuscl.net/rc.php) instead of the full RRs and do a quick scan of the location column for "New Jersey." Then, I'll do a quick scan for clubs in which I may soon travel for business or have recently traveled. Beyond that, I don't pay much attention to the recent reviews.

I almost exclusively go to SCs when I travel, so it's option (a) and TUSCL is an invaluable resource. I do occasionally scan other reviews to get an idea of where I might like to visit in the future. Someday I need to hit Cheeks in Dayton on the way to Brad's in Indy and end up in Detroit....

JJ,

I always use the abbreviated Recent Reviews way.

I personally never use the "Recent Reviews" section of this site.

I scan the recent reviews every day or so. I look at clubs I've been to or might be going to in the future. Generally PA, NJ, and NV. I also scan my hotlist once in awhile for the most recent reviews as I sometimes find I missed a recent review.
