At what point of your SC career did you start realizing SCing was a waste of mon

  If I felt it was a waste of money - I wouldn’t be an esteemed member of this site! In my view it’s money well spent. Every single - single of it.

  Almost immediately. Which is why strip clubs are the first thing to get axed if my budget becomes tight. That said, I think that everyone is entitled to completely non-purposeful fun (video games, etc.). So, I know it's a waste, but I'm fine as long as I walk out of the club (most of the time) saying "That was fun."

  If it isn’t fun you are wasting your money.

  Specific episodes were a waste of money but the hobby itself is far from a waste.

  It's really not a waste. While I've had some lame and frustrating SC visits, overall I've had way too much fun. I regret nothing.

  I realized it was a waste about 3 months in. Then a couple of decades or so later, I realized that it wasn't a waste. If you have better options, by all means, go for that. Even if you don't right now, they might make themselves known once you stop putting your energy into this thing that isn't really doing it for you right now.

  I think k put it best. Only specific instances have been a waste and thats only after the fact. But i will add, i think most dollars i spend not on beer or dances is a waste.

  There's a difference b/w wasting $$$ and spending $$$. Many people get burned-out w/ SCing (or anything else they do a lot) - and some seem to enjoy it for decades - kinda a personal/individual thing and there isn't necessarily a right/wrong answer - if you currently feel the $$$ is more important than the experience, then that should be a clue to change course at least for a while - you may just need a break, or you may have reached your SC-peak and time to move-on to something else - do what gives you peace of mind - like any habit, IMO/IME it's often toughest to stop but after a while one gets more used to being w/o it

  I think Papi hit it on the head. Like any jobby, ups and downs and even burnouts. Heck, I have escorts I like but I still hit the clubs.

  I think it was when I became accustomed to our on and off again Mexican bar underground. Most all the girls there are lining up as much OTC as the can. In one of the places they were doing front room FS, and then mini-van FS. I realized that once the girls cross over a line they would be perfectly happy to fuck as many guys as possible. The money is what brings them there and how they rationalize it, but they are still perfectly happy to do it. I realized how contrived strip clubs are, well oiled machines designed for separatin marks from their money. So: 1. Select the girl you want to be waking up in the mornings with. 2. Refuse dance offers, feed her money, let an intense front room makeout session ensue. 3. When it is time for your own pants to come down, you invite her to the back room. 4. Take her home with you to continue 5. Keep on seeing her regularly Used in that way, you are getting good value. Otherwise, buying dances, you are being a chump. SJG

  ^^I read all the responses except from this chump. I’m far from a veteran, going only occasionally and haven’t had extras except in Tijuana. You probably need a break for a few months to reasses priorities. If you miss it after a while, there’s your answer. I doubt I’ll ever tire of TJ but if I do I’ll stop for a while and see if I miss it.

  > Otherwise, buying dances, you are being a chump. What if you have a thing for the bathroom attendant and he's cool with you getting dances, but gets all bent out of shape if he sees you kissing a dancer?

  Hey, more and more TUSCLer's are talking about DFKing in US Strip Clubs. And then on top of that we have right now a rush of accounts from Tijuana. That's okay though, you guys want to be separate from your money for nothing. SJG

  @Rickberg It took me getting into alot of debt over 2.5 years, mostly due to gambling, to look at SCing with a different view. During this duration I learned and experienced some OTCs. So now present day, at a head above water financial situation, I've limited how much I'll spend in the club and for who and/or what. When I started out SCing, $200 - $450 was normal (4 or more visits a month) and I'd be all excited from some pussy petting and titty rubbing, thinking oh she likes me! Now given the aforementioned life experience, with the few stripper contacts I have now I can go out on a date, sex, and no real time limit for the low end or lower of what I was spending ITC just for pussy petting and titty rubbing. If money has got you thinking, but you still have your CF for some fun, OTC???, I'd just sit tight or continue just being in the SC atmosphere for games/fights and spending on her.

  I got into some debt, going GFE-FS with 3 counties worth of AMP girls. Then I realized that it was all silly, controlled by the simple fact that I was married. I realized that I need to do what it would take to make he marriage work, or just end it. So I had to clean up my act and make the marriage work, or I would have to end it. SJG

  I was just thinking on my way home that I would have nothing to do if not for the SCs here. They're not great, but they're options. Driving two hours to EI is honestly more cost effective, but I would hate to drive back after the club (and put over 200 miles on my car every time). Anyway, it's not a waste at all for me. Each experience is different, and I have enough money to SC the way I want to. Checking out three new girls at the local spot tomorrow night, actually; and I'm more excited about that than Infinity War (Thursday) or Greatest Royal Rumble (Friday).

  I have a 6-9 month attention span for this hobby. After that amount of time, it wears me out and bores me to the point I need to take a break for at least a few months. I've had a few dissapearing acts on this board because of it. It was really bad a couple years ago when I had an ATF, which made things so monotonous to the point I had to take a 6 month break before I wanted back in on the fun. Anyways, bottom line I guess is that for some people, this is a taxing hobby that just doesn't work year round. Don't keep doing it if you're not having fun anymore. It's too expensive for that shit. Go take a break. Maybe in a few months you'll get an itch to come back and you'll return with a passion. That's what I do and it keeps it fun.

  I can relate to OP completely. After turning a stripper friend into an SB, I cut out clubbing because my SB fulflled my needs. Besides I couldn’t afford to maintain my SB and club frequently. The strip club game can be expensive, and there are times I’ve thought about the money spent over the past 6 years. But I have no regrets. I’ve enjoyed the entertainment option and the women I’ve met. It certainly hasn’t been a waste. It’s a chosen lifestyle, that’s actually cheaper and more satisfying than many other forms of entertainment.

  Great feedback fellas so yea I might just take a break for a while. Because as one poster said, my CF full fills my need sort of speaking, when I come in town. It seems like the ultimate goal is to bang (and continue to bang) a hot stripper for free and that's what I'm currently doing. I really do like the strip clubs but I guess I peaked too soon (peaked meaning fucking a stripper for free) so the chase/thrill isn't there. Hell my CF told that's how she makes her money because customers come back because of the chase... so it's either I go out there and try to find another hot stripper to fuck for free (which I dont think I have the energy for) or just chill out for a bit & come up with another way to enjoy SCing.

  It’s not a waste if you have expendable funds. Some great extras, some not so great extras, some stripper shit tales, but I’m glad I commute near 8 mile in Detroit because it’s been a blast.

  It all break down to how much disposable income, you're dealing with... Since 2015 I've been having an OTC relationship with several ,, former Follies dancers, and two current Pink Pony dancers.. But, I still enjoy the strip club atmosphere... Personally,,,, money well spent... Oh yes 43 years of strip clubbing for me...

  Hmmm well... I like to gamble, I drive fancy cars when I could drive much cheaper ones (kinda money pits) and I also collect something (hobby) that can get expensive as well. It's ALL money wasted, along with strip clubbing, but I don't have any kids, and my nephews and nieces are kinda dicks, so might as well spend it on myself...

  You can't take it with you. If you have the disposable income to go strip clubbing and that's what you enjoy, then it is not a waste. Some people spend thousands on trips and don't have anything to show for it other than some pictures and memories of that trip. But if a great time was had, then it was worth it to go. To me, strip clubs are no different. Saving all of your money, then kick the bucket and not enjoying what you have worked for is a waste!

  This a hobby is entertainment. As soon as you don’t find any entertainment value, then it is time to take a break. When you take a break and go back and have fun, that’s a god break. If you go back after taking a break and it seems to still be a waste, then take a longer break. Pure instincts will guide you, after a little experience. Go with the gut feeling.

  I'm not a veteran but I'll chime in. I don't think SCing is a waste of money as long as you have a budget set aside and do your best to not go over it. I see it as money being well-spent as long as you are getting some form of satisfaction. Sure you can go eat out for dinner and spend $100 per visit-- or you can stay home and eat up some microwaveable food. It's alright to eat out every now and then as long as you are getting a certain satisfaction and experience you probably aren't going to get by eating at home. It's all about budgeting and being comfortable with treating yourself

  It was getting routine for me them my girlfriend realized she likes women and started going with me. Now it’s a whole new experience in the club and sex is always great afterwards. The only issue is my GF is a target for the strippers. They know the deal so you need to keep your wits about you or they’ll drain your wallet.

  If you select the girl you would like to be waking up with in the mornings regularly and approach her yourself, and let it escalate to a front room make out session, then you inviting her to the back room, then to come home with you, and you keep on seeing her, the results will be well worth the money. But if you take what strip clubs offer at face value and buy dances, then yes, it is just a mark being separated from his money. SJG

  If you can afford it and getting something from it, it's not a waste. I have gone through various stages where going to an SC was a waste (it wasn't fun). Most times it was lots of fun and I feel it wasn't a waste of money. When I have the money for it and feel the need it's great and I don't feel the money has been wasted. But there have been times I've walked away wondering if I should have done something else. That's when I know it's time for a break.

  I go when I need to, I spend within limits and budgets, stick to them, and I don't use the SC as a substitute for real hobbies or civvie relationships. So hasn't been a waste. It anything its a net benefit. :)
