A Poll (Pole?) of Sorts

It seems that a number of the veteran club-goers on this board have settled into regular attendance of a few clubs while keeping alive the constant desire for new women and locales.
My question is: how do you rate the comfort of a familiar club relative to the thrill and novelty of a new club? Do you always prefer a known quantity? Is there still a rush associated with the unknown?
I suppose the same question can be applied to ATFs v. New dancers as well.
Any input from those more experienced is appreciated.

Now a road trip once in awhile never hurt anyone.
I was at supposedly one of the "best" clubs in queens the other day and had to wit two hours to even see some real dancing going on stage. most ghetto place ever, don't even know why it has the reviews it does. regardless, it has its charm, and i will probably go again just to try my luck, but i dont know, something does not really sit well with me about the place.
Some guys desire and/or are actively seeking an ATF “relationshipâ€.
For me, I love novelty. I like to experience new clubs and new dancers – this gets me more excited than going to a club which I am already familiar with.
I also love variety. In my 13 years of regular SCing – I don’t recall ever going back to a club looking or hoping to find a specific dancer; although I have had many good times on specific visits with specific dancers – it’s just that once I’ve experienced a particular dancer, and I am ready for something new/different.
I also tend to rotate b/w 10 to 12 different SCs in my area in order to get that “new club†feel per se.
Not saying that my way is the best way – just my preference.
It is risky to try out a new/unknown club. When I try out a new club, I treat it as a recon mission – if the club sucks or is not to my liking, then I leave and go to a SC I am already familiar with – whenever I try out a new club, I go with the mindset of hitting multiple clubs on that night/day if the visit to the unknown club is a bad one.
Hey scatter – I noticed you were down in my neck of the woods recently when you visited and reviewed Deans Gold in Miami.
I actually visited Deans last Fr. night and was reading your review before I went (I will be posting my review later today).
I don't travel but a few times a year, so unfortunately I don't get to check out a lot of clubs. :( Hopefully that'll change in the future, but for now, that's how it is.
Papi, I'm eager to check out those clubs in Miami - I'd go crazy in a club full of Latinas to pick from- you'd have to restrain me. :)
LOL – I think most of us have problems restraining ourselves often times when SCing.
For me, my weakness is the “chocolateâ€. As I’ve posted before, good contact dances in Miami can be had for as low as $5 in the Miami black dives. Often times I’ll spend 2x in total in the $5/dance black clubs than I do in the $20/$25/dance non-black clubs.
I do hope you make down here – Miami has a lot to offer a young guy like yourself!
Strip clubbing is a source of balance. When things are boring a new stripper on a Wednesday afternoon can provide a chance of pace. In much the same way a familiar touch of a favorite can provide a welcome calm in the storm.
When out of town I'll go to a club with great reviews, and tend to sample a lot more dancers, and then once I find one that I really like will spend a lot more than my typical budget, especially if the dances are a lot more explicit than in Ohio.
At local clubs I typically see only favorites and only sample new dancers either when one in particular really stands out, or none of my favorites are there.
I have have also been known to follow dancers around as they switch clubs in the area, especially if several of my favorites all leave to a new club. Often a big exodus of dancers means the club has gotten bad for both customers and dancers.
When I first started visiting clubs in my local area, Columbus Gold was my first real favorite club since it was the only big club in the area with hot women and good contact, and Private Dancer, which while no contact had really pretty nude dancers at the time, often hotter than what you would see at other clubs.
Later when new clubs came around and the hot dancers moved on to the newer clubs, I stopped going to Private Dancer. When the management at CG got stupid I stopped going there, and went to other clubs that have come and gone over the years, such as various incarnations of Excalibur, Olympus, Vanity and the Doll House.
The one club that has been mostly constant from opening day has been Kahoots. There was a two year period where I avoided Kahoots due to the management letting the dancers get a bit too catty with each other, but the owners eventually replaced the managers and it got back to being good.
sc and I are two of the older and longest SC goers on this site. I concur with with his comments. And for me, I do enjoy the road trips, but the outflow of $'s has a much larger reward in the regularly attended clubs.
