yes. you will end up living in a box in the alley behind the club if you go more than twice a year. anyone who tells you different is just trying to sell you overpriced thunderbird cut with seltzer water.
I went 2 times a week from August through December. Spent about $6000. I think I learned enough about mediocre "clubbing" locally. In 2018 I will shake it up a bit... Try some AMPs, escorts, maybe SeekingArrangement, perhaps drive out of town to a true "extras" club. If I can only afford local clubs once a week, that's OK.
It's all about what you can afford. If you're comfortable, and don't feel the spending is making other parts of your life more difficult (not spending that mortgage/rent money are you??) then I don't see a problem with it.
I used to go to a different strip club every week back when there were 4 or 5 clubs that i regularly visited. Now it's basically two clubs and occasionally a third club, so i'm more at every other week now. Once a week doesn't sound like too much to me, but i don't know your situation, how much you spend per visit, how much time you spend per visit, etc. As already mentioned in this discussion and others, as long as you can afford it and it doesn't affect your personal, social or emotional health, have at it.
As others have said, if you can handle it financially, emotionally, and physically -- go for it! In recent years I've probably averaged two strip club visits (or one SC and one OTC date) per week, but I may cut back a bit this year, simply because I'm expending too much of my money, emotional energy, and precious bodily fluids on strippers :) I am, however, planning an OTC date on Wednesday evening and a VIP at an extras club on Thursday afternoon this week.
I go 4x a week to my favorite club but on 3 of those nights I’m pretty much a rock at the bar, then on one night I’ll get dances, that’s how I do it and still be a regular
Just a follow up - if you are looking for an objective answer - this might not be the place to get one. I think our opinions might be a little biased...
If my budget and time allows, once a week isn't that much. I've gone 4 nights in a row on occasion. That's when I'm on vacation with multiple strip clubs within minutes.
my general rule of thumb is, if the sun sets and rises while you're in VIP, you might be spending too much time in strip clubs... not that i've ever done that of course...
I think once a week is fine. When I first started I'd go 3 or 4 times in a week and was spending $100+ each visit. Also, it's a 3 hour round trip if I go to the strip club .
As others have said as long as your standard of living isn't affected. I know I did mine, but I've learned and getting back on track. Once a week is persistent enough to get a stripper to grow comfortable with you and possibly lead to other things like OTC.
i think once a month is fine. the first girl i ever took on a date from a club, i saw her once a month over the course of a semester. once a week you're practically courting her lol
I suppose mongering is impacting my life a bit, I am choosing to manage my daily expenses in utilities, gasoline, lunches much more closely. Got rid of a PO Box I rarely used, moved more of my savings into high yield income funds to generate immediate cash.
@Lurker_x it’s smart to keep track of expenses. In many cases, you can get a better handle on your expenses by simply knowing where your money is going. It’s easy to find unnecessary expenses - and eliminate them.
Hopefully that will leave more money for mongering - as that can be money well spent.
^^^ Mint.com. Made my money tracking 10x easier. It’s like importing all my transactions into excel automatically. I look at charts and see how my spending habits change over time.
When you look at it from that perspective - it can appear quite expensive. I’m guessing you are estimating $500 a weekly visit - and that’s reasonable.
It’s different than a commitment to go to the gym several times a week. If you aren’t feeling it - then there’s probably no benefit derived from going.
A weekly trip isn’t always necessary. If you are a bit low on cash - it’s another good reason to stay home (or scale back club spending).

last commentDo you make it rain $30K on each visit? Then probably.

I went 6 times over an 11 day period last year, so no, 1x a week is nothing.

If you can afford it and you're having fun... then no.
If either or both of those things aren't true... then yes.

if i had the money i'd be in strip clubs all the time.

1x week is too little.

Three things to consider - can you afford it? does your life (outside of clubbing) allow for it? can you handle it emotionally?
If you can - then keep enjoying the lifestyle.
