Cosmo: ‘Cool' Women Go to Strip Clubs

It appears that more women are going to strip clubs and think they're cool.
I'm of 2 minds about this. On the positive side, women's acceptance of strip clubs may blunt the efforts to restrict or close down strip clubs. But on the negative side, women customers may lead to the clubs become more woman-friendly by minimizing full contact dances and extras.
Do you think this development will be positive or negative for our "hobby"?

You state, " But on the negative side, women customers may lead to the clubs become more woman-friendly by minimizing full contact dances and extras."
What makes you think women customers wouldn't wish the same as men? From what I hear, there are a lot of bi-curious women out there. Perhaps lopaw could enlighten us on this topic.
Nice post. Any cultural shift that expands the SC industry is a good thing. Availability of extras is largely driven by club rules, club design and competition between strippers. As the industry grows, the availability of extras should increase with a greater number of dancers competing for patron dollars. This hobby is going to keep getting better, for men and women!
I have noticed a gradual increase in female attendence at the local clubs.
Now, I am not sure what their opinion of extras would be, but as long as that's occurring more in VIP/private areas, I doubt it matters.
And as far as contact & extras go - mine are usually off the charts. I doubt that more women in the audience will have any impact on mileage or contact, since many women like myself are looking for that type of thing just like the guys are. And the ones that might be offended or not like it aren't going to stay very long anyway.
This question came up with the club that I am helping design. Specifically it came up in relation to the restrooms. It is a small club and a tight budget. Do we really have a separate women's room, have all single-person unisex customer toilets, or let women customers use the dancers' toilet room?
We eventually decided that allowing the women customers to share the dancers' toilet was an invasion of privacy for the dancer but that for the reasonable future there would not be enough female customers in this city to really justify a separate toilet. So we hit upon a unisex handicapped toilet room and a separate men's room.
Ditto. If they are not there to take up space and just giggle with their friends and take up the dancers’ time just talking shit, then cool.
But IME, most of the time I see women at the SC, they are just hanging out; drinking; dancing to the music; and laughing and acting silly w/ each other – but not getting any LDs. To me these kind are just taking up space.
Papi_Chulo, are the clubs you have seen women in standing room only situations? Or were there still plenty of seats? If there were plenty of seats available then the women were not taking up space IMO.
Thanks for the "other" perspective...Clubber
Biggest advantage, as I see it, is that if strip clubs become "cool," then I might more likely (and more often) get laid by just hanging out at a strip club. And not even have to pay for it! But that's way way unlikely. I can't imagine that women who are trendy-cool and then go to a strip club to gawk, are doing anything other than emotional slumming, and if they meet me I'll already have been branded Pathetic Loser by mere virtue of the fact that I was inside that building gawping at the young hotties. So it doesn't seem like this fantasy is any more likely to come true in reality even with some new influx of women as customers.
Biggest disadvantage, is when those middle-aged-and-over women who are in denial that they no longer have hot bodies get out-of-control in a way that makes them think they should get on stage and begin to disrobe. I've seen a lot of this already.
Another advantage might be, that middle-attractive and un-attractive women actually get a good gander at what men want. And start having to admit that what they like to think of themselves as "just a little bit overweight" is actually "horrendously bloated" to most of the people they'd like to date. That could be a good development. Keeps up the standards. Kind of like bikini weather, it imposes reality on their denial.

Doesn't look too interesting, but at least the book is one step above the typical. However, Library Journal does refer to it as "an obvious doctoral dissertation." Yawn.
I haven't seen too much of the cosmo scene at clubs- far more common is increase in couples, or coed "groups". Or lesbian triads.
@latinalover- I guess obnoxious groups, be they male or female, can mess up a visit..............
I personally haven't seen to much
Aside to inno123, Hustler club in New Orleans, upstairs VIP area restroom is Unisex, basically a men's room the dancers up there use as well. Everyone comes and goes as they please. Twas an odd experience standing at the urinal while a dancer brushed past to use the stall.
I believe running into females who must have thought all guys visiting strip clubs must be desperate for sex was something I didn't expect. That's the only reason I suspect I had a female stop me in a strip club and ask me to go home with her without knowing anything about me. I heard girls sometimes do things and then justify their reasons afterwards. I believe it. Those are the exceptions since I usually do not talk to very many other customers in strip clubs. As far as oddball behavior goes, the females are the ones I watch. It is possible they were or are dancers from another club and are used to approaching guys but I never know what they are going to say or do or if they are upset about being there or if they are drunk.
Of course if the visiting female is hot, she can feel free to bug me all she wants.
