are you the only one in your immediate family that loves SCs?

from that Adam Westsiiiide of Gotham
my pops doesn't like SCs. at all. and i've ALWAYS wanted to take him to one, especially when SCs were poppin' around here 10-12 years ago.
wanna hear some funny shit? so, i never told my pops i was into SCs. one day, many years ago, he pulls up next to me, real close, and says in a voice and tone i've never heard: stop going to SCs. my mouth dropped to the floor. like how did he know? nobody in my family knows. and to further make sure i'd stop, he told me how he knew. he said, "my coworkers keep seeing you at different ones and at first, thought you were me. so they told everybody at the office."
lol. of course. never thought of that.
and of course, i ain't stopped. we look alike, but not that much alike. i think if you didn't know i exist, you'd just think I was him. like, once i was in his neighborhood so i stopped by a store there which i'd never been to before. the cashier thought i was him. she asked me how did i lose weight so fast? i was like huh? took me like 10 minutes of conversation with her that didn't make sense to finally be like oh, you think i'm my pops.
and i remember like a few years after that, i parked my car across the street at the same SC where the bouncer extorted me for finding my keys, i was crossing the street (and really i never park there, across the street. i really don't.) anyway, i was crossing the street and coincidentally, a car stops from traffic right in front of me that looked exactly like my pops car. every detail. even the funny paint job. i froze like a 7 year old in the middle of the street, even though i'm a grown man. i could've been hit by a bus. i wasn't scared of my pops or nothing, it's just my pops does not come around to my world, ever, still to this day, and he don't do strip clubs. so, to see his car "in my world" i couldn't believe it. i didn't think he was going to the SC, it never dawned on me, he could pass this way take this street if he was going somewhere. it's not impossible. that never crossed my mind. it wasn't him, tho. this was like maybe a year after he told me to stop going to SCs, so that was still fresh in my mind at that time.
Got something to say?

But It’s not the type of topic one brings up around the table during Thanksgiving or Christmas gatherings, lol.
My brother in law was a bit of a monger. I’ve run into him at clubs. I’ve also run into his relatives in clubs. It’s fun to see folks unexpectedly - as they can get a bit skittish. It doesn’t bother me at all.
If my dad were still alive, I'd bet VIP money that he'd WANT to go to a strip club. He just wouldn't have been able to because of the aforementioned mother.
As for the rest of the extended family - I've got one cousin who I sort of suspect is either a current or former dancer. I'd be entirely unsurprised (a bit squicked, but unsurprised) to walk into a club "back home" and see her there.
The remainder of the extended family is pretty straight-laced Christian - not that it means anything, but it's hard to imagine the rest of them even driving past a club without catching a case of the vapors.
The Mrs. is into clubbing solely because sit puts me in a good mood, motivates me in a productive way, plus it’s a reward for all of my hard work. So why can’t I enjoy it without hiding it? Strip clubs are the socially acceptable way to be socially unacceptable, lol!
My wife used to go with me once in a while, but it no longer interests her.
Apparently, my uncle was a ho-dog from way back. Got out of high school, went to Korea,
Came back with a Korean wife who kicked him to the curb two years later, was a confirmed bachelor for the rest of his life.
