Any of you familiar with my post know how much I've railed against how ghetto strip clubs have become since rap/hiphop culture has taken over strip clubs. Now the strippers are blaming the decline of strip clubs on everything except the obvious ghetto culture. The economy has been much worse and yet strip clubs trived. It has only been in the past decade when strip clubs offered a product/service that most men don't won't, that has seen the steep decline in strip clubs.

last commentActually, as far as the amount of money the girls are making... I'd have to say the biggest reason for their income going down is because men can no longer use company expense accounts to entertain clients and themselves. And businesses can no longer write off entertainment expenses like they used to be able to in the 90's.
Now a days, guys who visit strip clubs are mostly on their own dime. And when it's your own money and not someone else's money you are spending, the spending tends to be a lot less. ;)

I don't think strip clubs have declined. Of course, I'm as ghetto as they come.

Yeah it's not the 90s but I don't see this gloom and doom clubs are slowly dying thing. Where I go clubs are mostly busy and the girls are walking away each night with at least a few hundred, sometimes more.

Blah, blah, blah, ghetto, blah, blah, blah, decline, blah, blah, blah, trash, blah, blah, blah, boo hoo, blah, blah, blah, woe is me, blah, blah, blah, hate, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Here's a thought. Instead of spending all your time whining that people won't give you the strip clubs you want, why don't you open your open fucking club and run it any way you see fit.

Dancers who remember the "good old days" of the mid 90's are now 20 years older. Is there any doubt why their income is down? Plus I agree with the ghetto influence making clubs less attractive to 40+ corporate white guys. We all listened to classic rock, not the dance crap that clubs play. And the dancers themselves...I never understood all the tats that so many have! If a dancer is looking for a whale for OTC, she needs to be able to go to expensive places without looking like a tatted up whore.

I've noticed a lot of younger dancers dancing to geezer rock specifically to pander to middle aged dudes.
Blaming hip hop music is stupid. It's Internet porn and hookup culture, and yeah, the death of the strip club business expense. Plus you couldn't get a $200 hookers nearly as easily in the 90s.
It's pretty remarkable how cheap lap dances are compared to food and gas. My understanding is $20 dances have been the norm for decades.
We may be living in the golden age of clubs.

But seriously, things are so rough for strippers these days, two of my favorites have quit their day jobs in the past couple of months because they made way more stripping and it didn't make sense to keep working as a trainer or aesthetician.
Wait, what?

I think internet porn is a plus for clubs, in that after you spend hours by yourself, you realize you can get a beautiful girl to please you for not that much money, and it's safe compared to hiring a hooker. Before on line porn there were the magazines after all, and they didn't hurt the stripping business. I do agree relatively speaking, the clubs are a great value these days. When I spend $200 I've had 15 dances, many drinks and given out tips over the course of 2-3 hours.

Things evolve – at one time PLs were fine for the most part w/ just looking and paying for air-dances.
Today one can get affordable pussy at the click of a mouse – so many PLs may opt to pay for pussy than for mere “entertainment” or a “fantasy” as the SW knuckleheads put it.
Many clubs in many areas are not ITC friendly – and even in extras clubs not every dancer is down and often times it may cost $2x+ compared to a provider/escort.
It’s hard to say if things are down – perhaps when compared to the peak of the late 90s it may be – but that was a never-before-seen historic economic event that many thought was the “new normal” and that the good times were gonna roll forever – people are a bit more careful w/ their $$$ these days.

People always forget there have always been dirty clubs with hooker dancers. What has changed is that technology has evolved and we now live in a society that not only accepts that culture but promotes it as the right one. There are dancers today that never would have been hired back then except for the dirty clubs. With today's hookup culture why would a guy go to a clean strip club to see dancing when he can often see that dancing anywhere? Not to mention if he wants a hookup he can find someone online instead of a club. I don't think it's so much the music as the other things but ghetto music does tend to attract a lower class crowd. It's why many clubs have tradionally banned it.
