If you could have all the money back you spent at SCs and never be able to go to

sflguy123Florida
I started keeping a spreadsheet starting 2004 and have spent $58,980 from 2004-2013($440 so far in 2014). Peak in 2005 of $11255, a low of $2230 in 2011. I've been going to SC prior to 2004, probably started around 1993, but didn't keep track. I probably spent around $120,000-150,000 all told.
I only track what I spend on dances, not various fees and drinks as I only drink beer and mostly 2 per visit.
To answer my own question I would not have the money back but I wouldn't spend as much as I did early on.

last commentIt'd be tempting.
No
Being a lifelong bachelor – I never owned a house (didn’t want the responsibility; overhead; upkeep; etc).
If I was to keep a tally of my spending since I started SCing in 2000:
I’d probably shoot myself
I could probably have owned at least 2 decent houses outright by now
But; the older I get; the less regrets I have – SCing brings this PL more satisfaction than anything else money can buy.
Sorry – did not answer the question directly – no I would not
hmmm, no.
tempting yes. You can't take it with you .
I wouldn't, I've had some good times in the SC. I wouldn't mind my cash back from some ROB's, but thankfully it wasn't much.
Easy... No! You only live once. From someone who's cheated death at least once... Carpe diem.

Fuck no.
I live within my means. I spend a shit-load of money on strippers, but I can afford it. If I had invested all that money instead, I would be richer but not happier.
No.
I have a spreadsheet with SC expenses as well. The total is about $14,000 since 2010 and spread out fairly evenly. No, as long as I keep making good money, I won't take that trade.
No.
A lot of you guys have been at it a lot longer than I have. I've only been at it since late 2009/early 2010 and I haven't spent nearly as much as some of you have indicated in this thread, so therefore it wouldn't be worth it to get all the dough I've spent back and never be able to go again
Yes, yes I would agree to those terms. There are many more fun things to do in life than ogle women you can never be with (romantically). I'd probably skydive, buy a car, etc, etc...but I haven't spend NEARLY as much as some of you fellas have but if I could do that, I would (take the OP's offer that is)
Esta, you party pooper lol, you're the only one who's said yes thus far.
I'm only messing with you Esta.
I'm not surprised you said yes because you've indicated a few times in the past that you've considered retiring.
If I could get back ever cent that I ever put into my marriage and had to promise to never get married again, I would do it. Strip clubbing, FUCK NO!. :)
I shudder to think how much I've spent over the years. It would be tempting, but I wouldn't. I've had too many good memories in the strip club.
My SC memories are priceless. Less than two years into this hobby, and never felt more alive.
And then what? "I'm an average nobody...get to live the rest of my life like a schnook?"
Poor trade, I would be dead from boredom in 6 months
Yes
Never.
Great quote Steve,I can never get enough of that movie.
At my age, there are very few things I'm willing to say I'll never do again. If someone gave me a refund on all my SC expenses chances are I'd just spend it at the same place again.
I've never tracked the expenses, but informally I've found hitting SC's to be cheaper than dating. I wouldn't be surprised if it was cheaper than marriage too. I'm not sure a GF/Wife is worth much more than a constant stream of strippers.
I think I'd take the deal. It's like getting back all the money you spent going to NASCAR races. When it's all said and done, there were cars going round and round, there were some crashes, somebody won, then there was another race a few days later. About as meaningful and long-lasting. A lot of noise, a lot of gasoline smells, your eyes ring for a while, you can get together and talk about great races with other fans. But other than that, you are never going to be a driver yourself, you are never going to cash those checks, you are never going to have the girl kiss you at the end of the race. Somebody might pour milk on you sometime by accident or out of anger. A lot of money and not a lot to show for it. Even though we are wired to enjoy the chase, the game is stacked against us.
Dolfan, strip clubbing is definitely cheaper than marriage.
No.
@goviking Well while i do enjoy the bevel of beautiful big booty women within eyesight and willing to please me, I also realize I get no satisfaction when the "pleasing" is all for gratification. And I always getting drunk to enjoy paying for sexual gratification is gonna kill me before I make a successful career. Seriously, after two dances, I lose interest in the initial "fun" like a guy gets booty and the story is over. Besides, the more you go, the more money you want to spend to really enjoy the thrill. I guess I'll see once I go do this experiment again.
I would do it in a heartbeat simply because at 56 my time is growing short and with 38 years of strip clubbing I might be able to retire today and use the money to live over the next 10 years while waiting for full retirement benefits to kick in.
@loonylarry well stated there. Of course some guys do get the satisfaction of having sex with these strippers....to each their own I suppose
“…And then what? "I'm an average nobody...get to live the rest of my life like a schnook?" …â€
Now I’m intrigued LOL – what movie was that and what year approx?

IDK about that analogy – I’ve never busted a nut or gotten a hard-on from watching NASCAR – but that’s just me – I’m not from the “true south†:)
Ha, Papi. Don't stir up those rednecks. They may love their car more than their girl.
^ LOL – in retrospect I think you’re right :)
Yes
I to do a speed sheet and since 1963 to 2014 I have spent a waaaaping $3,428.94 and yes I want it back
"what movie was that and what year approx?"
Goodfellas (1990)
Last lines of the film, as Ray liotta's character bemoans his straight life in witness protection
Fuck yes! All that money would have been better spent on sugar baby's, AMPs and escorts.
My numbers are similar to the OP's, I've averaged $10-12K per year for several years, and my spreadsheet also goes back to 2004, with another 20 years of undocumented SC spending before that.
In answer to the question, yes I would take back my prior spending and never go to a SC again, provided I could still maintain my OTC arrangements and see escorts, massage girls, and other gals of similar service orientation! If the choice were instead to give up all big boy entertainment, hmmmm, that would be a tough decision.
Thanks for the info 229
Of course I'd take the deal, then once I got the money, I'd say, my fingers were crossed! Worked about 60 years ago. :)
