One year later, a lot has changed

Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Smart consumers make for a better market. Good on you.

Bravo !

Sounds like you've learned how to counter-hustle in a strip club. Have you seen any notable differences in your personality, conversation skills, etc since being on TUSCL?

i agree, a year changes a lot but not in 'a good way' for me.

last year, i started writing down everything i pay for. regardless of what it is. and for the first time ever, i wrote down how much i pay for at the SCs. it was shocking........TO ME. like the most shocking was i went to a SC that only does table dances. i like to mix it up and i appreciate all types of SCs and dancers. in my mind, i spent a certain amount, there--not much because it's a table-dance SC...the very definition of AIR DANCES, man. when i did the numbers on my spreadsheet on this particular SC trip for the first time actually writing down, i spent DOUBLE than what i thought at that spot. couldn't believe it.

when i goto SCs, i go with a bunch of money and i don't count it, i don't wanna know, and i can't trust myself. i can't limit myself. at all. and i don't want to. i wanna be free. but since my spreadsheet, i now go with a limited number when it comes to cash. and try to leave some in my car still, before i go into the club to try to stop me. of course, i still haven't mastered this. so instead, i've stopped going to SCs for the time being.

never thought i'd see the day 'i slowed down' from SCs, my weekend habit / weekend staple. but writing down how much i spend there on my spreadsheet where i write down every expense not just SCs, i finally see in real numbers what i typically spend on SCs in a year, without letting my mind guess. and i see where that money could've went to so many different other things.

i don't regret any moment i've been in the SCs. i just can't justify it anymore. now that i see the numbers.

but if a windfall of money comes my way, i'll be back at the SCs...

not trying to jack your thread

i still haven't mastered the counter-hustle,tho i'd love to

@lolruned - No major difference when it comes to interactions with close friends, family, co-workers, etc. I do notice a small difference when I am in public places making small talk with strangers.

@gothamyte - It's all good. It feels good to vent every once in a while.

It takes a PL-village.

The power of networking.

Many PL-heads are better than one

I feel ~75% of my SC knowledge came from TUSCLing

I'd still be going to air dance clubs and tipping every dancer at the stage

Eventually though, as good as strip clubs are, a guy decides that he wants what strip clubs offer, but outside. And at best that means selecting a dancer whom you want to be waking up in the mornings with.

If it wasn't for TUSCL, I'd still think getting anything more than dances in a club was a fantasy. Oh the money I wasted at SCs in my younger years.

If I ever going to a club with friends for a social thing, I can't but chuckle at how little people outside of TUSCL know about clubs and getting what you want there. What a great community.
