Club Semi-Retirement

Had that experience. I still hunt though because hunting is engrained. And sugar babies. Man those gals are fun if you find the right one...

Welcome to Detwaaaa !! It's my hometown, so over the years, I've had virtually every experience in our numerous clubs. I'm glad you enjoyed. I read your review and yes, that's The Penthouse Club late on Saturday night.

The solution is easy. You need to think outside the box/clubs. When local strip clubs offer poor itc options, then just shop for a dancer to meet outside where there are no rules and no restrictions. Penthouse level fun and beyond is as close as the nearest hotel.

Maybe check out the escort scene

The Penthouse is usually fun. I guess it's a blessing that I live near Detroit. Your extras-free clubs at home might provide you opportunity for OTC. The dancers may have to be clean in the club, but they are still sluts who need to earn money.

Try tinder. Maybe you can find a milf.

Good Move; I too save my $$ for other places (Detroit, Toronto, Niagara Falls, Tampa) as I live in an area where the clubs suck. Makes those trips all the more memorable. Once you experience those places it makes no sense to spend elsewhere.

I found myself spending more and enjoying it less as well. I have layed off for awhile and will see if the joy of the hunt returns after a while off. I take the money I save and buy stock. It feels almost as good.

Detroit is a 5 hour drive from where I live. Fortunately work takes me much closer and when I can make a detour through Detroit I always do.

I am similar to your sentiment, I don't even want to bother going to the clubs in the radius of my home base because they all suck. In the meantime I wait patiently until my next trip to Detroit occurs. Those are expensive nights, but they don't happen near as often as I'd like so when they DO happen I gotta make 'em count.

Longball300s last sentence sums it up perfectly and I too have clubbed in all the citites he mention. I think Toronto and Detroit are currently the best citites to club in right now.

SCing is an expensive hobby especially if one wants to have a good time while doing it.

It def makes sense for an experienced SCer that's been there done that & knows what good SCing is, makes sense he would not spend his $$$ on subpar experiences.

For the time being, I kind of feel like I've accomplished what I always wanted to accomplish from clubbing. I don't feel like I need more than what I've gotten now. I had two busty, model-like women finish me off separately in one night and were happy to have spent the time with me when they got done. I don't care how it happened; that's something a guy can take to his grave being happy about. (Wrong link above; tuscl.net).

I went to a local club nearby on Saturday night, just because it's what I do after weekend work. I looked at the girls and saw only one worth considering. She was tied up enough with a customer that waiting didn't seem worth it.

The rest, I looked at like, "Am I going to spend money on overpriced drinks and have to endure the tip walk so I can maybe pay $35/song for dances with no chance for more than a good grind and maybe a few copped feels? Or at least $300 to maybe have something happen if I pay more on top of it? When I just was at a place last weekend where I saw six or seven better looking girls with a full menu?"

So I finished my drink and left. The sleep and money seemed like it was more worth it to me than giving both away at that point. I still think the club is better than the regular bar because of the scenery -- looking at naked women is never a bad thing -- but yeah, kinda done with the lackluster interactive component.

I've had terrible luck with OTC around here. Closest I've come to it working was getting stood up a couple times. Turned down a lot. I generally don't settle for less than a 7 if I'm going to put that kind of money on the line. We've discussed before, those girls generally don't have to OTC. Part of it is this area. A lot of girls are concerned about the club owners firing them or stings/busts. I don't have the patience to work towards that level over multiple visits with trying to build trust, a relationship, etc. I have an SO. I'm not looking for another. (Also why Tinder would be an awful idea.)

Escorts are even more runaround. I don't trust verification services or agencies not to have an Ashley Madison incident, so I stay away. But it's tough to find independent girls that meet my standards. There's one that comes around this area every couple months whose ad tempts me. But she's in high demand and we've never connected.

Some of it is me. Work has been stressful over the last year. Blood pressure is up. Libido is down. But I also just feel like I'm kinda done. I want to spend my time and money on other things now. I don't feel the need to chase anymore. I've done what I wanted to do, and I'm not going to get the chance to do it again unless I go really far away. So why bother?

Taking a break from the SCs is often good for a PL's psyche & wallet - problem is SCing often becomes habitual & when one stops ofren times one may not have something adequate to replace it & one may continue to go just to fill the void.

If you know the clubs nearby don't offer what you want - then hold off on going out. The important thing about local clubs is understanding the current extras status. You made a recent trip - and realized there's little to be had.

Save your money - and save some frustration too. In some cases - getting what you want from local clubs - is like fitting a round peg in a square hole - as its not going to work (regardless of convenience).

Yeah, finding something else to replace it is the problem. Like I say, I don't see myself at a regular bar or just going home. And I'm out a lot of nights for work on my own.

I dunno. Maybe I'll still go, just not partake. Maybe this is how you end up being one of those old guys at the bar. Who knows.

Plenty of times I've gone to the SCs w/ the intention to just pass the time & not spend much & I was hardly ever successful in just hanging & not spending- for w/e odd reason seeing all those naked women made me want to be w/ them & thus spend - for me personally it's habitual & often the more consistently I go the harder it os for me to stop - for me if I stop then the longer I go w/o going the easier it actually gets- for me it's hardest to stop but less hard to abstain after I have not gone for a while - u can start working out to burn the extra energy.

Give it a shot - and see how it goes. If you are ok hanging - and not partaking - then the scenery isn't bad - and you still have a place hang out after work.

If you become a regular - and the dancers and bartenders enjoy seeing you - and chatting with you - it could become a very nice way to relax.
