This is just a little post for some of the guys that might be new to the strip club scene or for the guys that might be getting a bit disappointed in the experience.
1) Strip clubs are expensive. To have a good time, you need to minimally plan on bringing $100 with you. That is NOT enough for you to get "laid", but you can probably hang around for a little while and maybe get a lap dance or two.
2) You are at a bar. They make money by selling you drinks. It's bad form to simply milk a beer for 3 hours while you watch the girls dance.
3) Tip you wait staff and bartenders. $.50, $1.00, $2.00.
4) Remember that you're being judged based on what you spend. If you are cheap with tips, or milking a beer, or constantly turning down dancers for dances...that gets communicated to the girls and you will be avoided.
5) Just because a girl works at a strip club and is in her underwear...you have to pay for the right to "touch". Strippers are used to guys being a little "grabby" when they are drunk...but don't confuse "tolerance and understanding" for "permission or desire". And no, you can't go on stage unless you're specifically invited.
6) Also, just because a girl is a stripper, that doesn't mean basic rules of engagement don't apply. Make pleasant conversation. Make her laugh. Compliment her. Entertain her. A stripper will spend a lot more time with you (free) if she's enjoying your company.
7) Remember the strippers are "working". They aren't there to meet their future boyfriend. If you aren't going to get a dance, they probably will need to leave your company and find a customer who will pay them. If they like you, they may come back...but don't take it personally...they're just doing their job.
8) The club makes money selling drinks...the strippers make money selling dances. They don't make their money collecting a few singles on the stage.
9) If you like a girl and want her to come see you after she gets off the stage, tip her while she is on the stage. In most cases, the stripper on stage will seek out the person who gave her the most tips or the highest value tip while she was on stage.
10) Lap dances vary greatly from club to club. The dancers will tell you what you can do and what you can't. If you're unsure, and they aren't guiding you, just ask.
11) Unless the dance was very bad or the stripper was rude or tried to scam you...tip her. $5, $10, $20, $40, $50, $100...depending on what service you were paying for.
12) If your goal is to actually have sex for money (prostitution), realize that this is a fairly common practice but it is not cheap, it is not legal, and not all dancers offer that service. These fall into the realm of "extras" and will likely occur in a VIP area, or Champaigne room, or in a lap dance area that has some curtains. Be "cool" about it. Strippers that don't offer extras can get offended if you ask for them. Strippers that don't offer extras, often feel jealous about it, because they make less money than the strippers willing to go further. Some strippers will get offended and think you're a bad person for asking, others will kindly decline but offer you advice on what strippers will perform those services. But be cool.
13) Extra services can cost a great deal of money. At very dirty, scummy, hole in the wall, ugly ghetto stripper clubs...you may be able to get all the action you desire for $120+$20 tip. At most clubs where extras are commonplace, you'll need to spend between $200-$600 for these services. For clubs where these services are uncommon, you may have to spend a great deal of money to convince a stripper it's worth her while, in the $1000 range.
14) Once you get into lap dances and "extras"...make sure everything is agreed upon and try to keep track of what you're getting. The worst strippers will try to scam you...give you 2 songs when they agreed to 3 or say they'll give you head in the VIP room then once inside try to negotiate a higher price. When things are happening, it's hard to keep a clear head so making sure everything is agreed upon up front can avoid some embarassing, uncomfortable moments.
15) If you're planning on having sex, or even if it's something you'd be possibly open to...bring a couple condoms. The strippers will usually take care of this...but just in case...keep in mind that it is highly, highly unlikely you are the only man she is servicing.
16) Never get between a man and his ho. If you want a dance from a girl, and she's talking to another customer...patiently wait or ask a bouncer or waitress if they could let the dancer know you're interested. You may want to slip them $5 for their help.
17) It's HIGHLY unlikey that a stripper will go home with you. They get propositioned every shift...it's unlikely you're going to be the lucky one. If this IS your goal...you'll need to spend a good deal of time at the club, with the girl, spending money. And even then, it's unlikely and if they do agree to go with you it will likely be for coffee or breakfast and if they are willing to spend the night with you, expect that they may expect some type of payment.
A strip club is like a casino. If you can't afford to pay, you can't afford to play. If you bring $20 to the blackjack table, you probably ain't gonna build up a pot of $2000. If you go to the strip club with $60, you might not have a very good time. I used to go to the club with $80...wanting to get really good lap dances and ultimately take the stripper to a hotel. Obviously, I left every night with blue balls and an empty wallet...disappointed. I have since learned, through experience, that (for me) it's better to save up some funds and have a good time every 4-6 months rather than nickel and dime and be disappointed once a month.
