How much money do you take with you?

How much money do you take with you to the club?

The reason I ask is because judging from the recent comments of some dancers I've chatted with about the subject, it seems like many guys don't bring much money to the club with them. The girls love to gripe about how many guys in the club are just college guys who brought just enough to pay the cover and ogle, which does nothing for their income. Of course, maybe they're just trying to play the pity game with you, hoping that you'll open up your wallet to them some, especially if you're known at the club for spending.

There are good reasons not to use the ATMs or "gold dollars" at the club itself: ridiculous surcharges, not wanting to explain strange large charges on your monthly statements, etc.

Or is this one of those subjects (like dick size) that guys can't help but lie about? Then again, maybe it isn't so surprising that the contents of one's wallet is as important to lie about as the size of one's member, especially in a strip club.

    Try to walk into clubs with at least 100-150. since i don't drink at all, I can save on drink costs. try to avoid clubs with outrageous covers. most i have ever spent in one club is 300. only carry car key and money. leave wallet and ring and cell phone locked in car.

    Shadow, it's been almost 10 years, but it sounds like MBOT hasn't changed too much. It might be true that anything goes, but you can blow hundreds on blind alleys without even finding out where the action is. I spent about $150 in 15 minutes in the Ultra Room before learning it would cost another $200 to get a hand job in a dark booth and up to $500 for FS. I spent the most money in the cabana booths, which were new then. It was about $80 to have girls get nude and mash me standing up for 15 minutes. It was worth it. Also fun, and not too expensive, was the movie room, where girls would come around for laps in your movie seat while you watched porn. That was the only time in a club I've had strippers pull my dick out to put a rubber on it. Lookers? They had plenty of them, although they tended to be more porn types with tit jobs. I've seen better lineups. Friendly? Only while your money lasts and not a second longer.

    As for what I take into a club aside from money, I travel as light as possible. I take my driver's license, one credit card and one car key, which I keep buttoned in a back pocket. I leave my cell phone, wallet and other keys in my car. I do as somebody posted a while ago and keep all one dollar bills in my left front pocket and all other bills in my right front pocket. If I have any hundreds, I keep them buttoned with my ID. I never wear an expensive coat, and I don't keep anything of value in my coat.

    In the first couple of years after I discovered lap dancing clubs, I went on some wild spending sprees. It culminated in a trip to San Francisco, where I spent several hundred dollars each in Mitchell Brothers and a few other clubs. Since then, I've never spent over $300 in one visit, and rarely over $200.

    The most I've ever spent is around $300 or so, and that's only been a few times. I like to keep it well under $200 unless it's an extraordinary time. Once I went into a club at shift change and a girl I knew fairly well come over, sat down, and said she didn't feel like working, could she sit with me all evening. She never left my side for the entire shift til the place closed, and I gave her $300, which was all I had. I'm glad I didn't have any more because I probably would have felt obligated to give it to her.

    I don't usually go to a club unless I've got at least $500 on me. I rarely spend that much usually around $300, but I like to be prepared just in case. Oh, I usually go to SC's 2-3 times per month. Just out of curiousity, how much is the most any of you guys have spent in a club on any one evening? I once went through $1200 in Vegas at the Crazy Horse Too. I did pay for a lot of extras and was overly generous partly because I had been pretty lucky on the black jack tables and mostly because I was pretty wasted the entire weekend.

    I'm on the low end of funds. probably $150-250, but I expect to be broke walking out. I never go near an ATM. I agree with Metaldude about carrying things into a club. My pockets are nearly empty when I walk in the door. A car key, and a wallet with ID and cash. That's it for me. (Maybe that should be a new thread? What do you take into a club. We know what Shadowcat brings in!)

    Locally I bring 2-300. Out of town usually 500. Sometimes I spend it all sometimes almost none of it (although that's rare, fortunately!). I never bring any thing in my pockets into a club inculding credit cards, driver license, cell phone etc. Mostly so I don't have to worry about something falling out of my pockets while my attention is elsewhere.

    At my "home club" I may take about $100 or so. I may go 2x a month or so, depending on my financial situation. I have a club I like to go to that is out of town a couple times a year I will bring about $500+. During winter months, I go less often due to the weather.

    To expand, I go about once a month, less lately, and expect to spend about $200. I have the backup funds. When I travel I usually plan to spend $300, but usually spend less. Yes, this is another bump. I am drunk enough to challenge RL.

    I take a little more than the most I expect to spend, and I often spend only half of it. I don't usually try to govern my spending by limiting the amount I take. At my home club, I take $150-200. Out of town, where I spend more freely and it's harder to know what to expect, I'll take more like $300. I go to clubs about twice a month, including an occasional two- or three-day binge on the road.

    Depending on where I'm going, I'll usually take $250-300 but I rarely spend it all. I used to go nearly once a week but the last couple of years it's been far less often. I've never used an ATM either inside a club our elsewhere.

    For me it depends on what club that I go to visit. Neither of the 2 or what you would call ritzy gentleman's club and the cover is $4.00dollars at one and 10.00dollars at the other one. I ideally want to take about $80.00dollars with me to the club and will usually spend that amount if I have it to spend. There are other times where I have other stuff to take care of and will only spend around $60 to $65dollars at the club. I usually go at least 1 time a month to one of my current clubs sometimes it is a little bit longer.

    I take as much as I am willing to spend, plus one ATM card with a $200 per day limit. The bank doesn't understand why I requested they keep that limit on my card. If it turns into a great night I can extend it, a little. Past that, I'm deluding myself or drunk.

    I usually take $200 but I take $300 to my favorite club because I know I will get several dances there regardless of who's dancing. Unless it's an awful night, I usually spend it all.

    Currently I bring $100 and try not to spend it all. I rarely get privates anymore, I usually just tip at the stage and have a few drinks while my friends get the privates. I got every month or so for a couple hours.

    I used to spend ~$200 every trip 2x a month, but money is very tight for me now so I just have to reign it in.

    Well, if we're gonna discuss how much $$$ we take, shouldn't we also mention how often we go? I mean, dropping $500 in a club once every 6 months is a helluva lot different than dropping that same amount once a week!

    I spend roughly $300, twice a month....give or take a bit. I avoid the ATM like the plague.

    I was thinking a poll instead of a post would have been an better idea for this subject, but I wasn't sure if that was possible here. I usually bring $200 to a club where dances cost $20 each and leave with half or less. I try to avoid the ATM's if possible, but sometimes a dancer entrances me, and I'm pretty much her ATM for the evening, heh.

    I think this was covered on this board several months ago, although I may be thinking of the "alternate universe" board.

    I take $500, and go with the intention of spending every penny.. However, I usually leave with $50-100 in my pocket. I have never tapped out that amount.

    I will confess that on one occasion I made a very unusual "impromptu" stop at Favorite Club, and only had a couple of hundred in cash. I did the unforgiveable PL sin, in honor of a dancer I had been hoping to get a VIP with for several months, and got ATM money. I was pleased to see that the ATM hit was at market rates...a buck or two. THe charge was very discreetly made on my bank statement, as well.

    JC: I won't lie, won't tell either. Suggest you go to zbones website, click on "Pop Poll". I think 2002, or 2001 archive had "average spending per visit " poll. Highest plurality no. spent $100-$299. Only 6%, I think, spent over $300. Maybe tuscl should have similar poll??
