When do you like to club and why?

I can only club during the evening hours due to work and family obligations. So I club at night. Until recently, my preferences tended towards mid to late evening to ensure that I was still there when the stronger talent arrived. However, in more recent months I have enjoyed catching the tail end of Happy Hour, in order to avoid a cover charge and get a cocktail or two on the cheap, and then roll from there.

In terms of the time of week, Sunday - Wednesday nights have always my sweet spot as the weekends get too crowded with youngsters and groups. Also, I have learned over time that the same girls who are happy to go OTC on a Tuesday are often much less inclined to do so on a night where there is a lot of money changing hands ITC.

Friday and Saturday night are really the best showcase for talent. I don’t club daytime on the road anymore. Really hit or miss. But mostly miss. I’ll go daytime if I’m a regular/local and I kind of know what I’m gonna run into or because I set it up.

I'm almost exclusively a T-F dayshift patron for a variety of reasons. (Fruit cups are served at 4:45 and are gone by 5:30)

Works nicely for me because I prefer a more relaxed vibe. It also seems there are more veteran dancers during the day so you can more easily build a rapport over time. There is also less management oversight during the day, no cover, and better drink prices. In some clubs cheaper dance prices too.

During the week, I like to go after work, from about 6 to maybe 8 or 9. The day shift girls I see are usually pretty amenable to either having some fun in the club, or cutting their shift short to see me on the way home.

This is also my preferred time for meeting the night shift girls for OTC as well; it’s easier for me to meet them *before* they go to work than after. I’m an old fart, after all, and staying up till 4 or 5 (by the time they get done with all the post shift stuff) to fuck ain’t happening for me. Most of the time.

On Fridays and Saturday, I’ll often start by 6 or 7 and stay till midnight or so, though not always at the same club. I might or might not take anybody back for some fun. It mostly depends on whether I did earlier.

Once in a great while I’ll close a club down, but only if I’ve made sleeping arrangements someplace fairly close by. There’s some inexpensive hotels, and a couple of friends nearby. I’ve even crashed a few times at a local escort’s place. :)

Thursday night depending on the time of year between 7 PM and Midnight. I typically don't go into the clubs until it is evening.

Most weekdays I am way too busy until 5:30- 6 PM and weekends I am typically with friends or family.

I've tried other times but as a rule Monday and Tuesday seem to be too dead for me. Wednesday is better but not as good as Thursday.

I've never tried a Sunday before and from what I have observed the weekend nights are for newbies.

Depends on the city I"m in and the club I"m going to. I prefer to go during the day. Single moms tend to work during the day as opposed to sharks working at night. Also, I just don't like staying out late at night. Even when I was in my 20's, I never was a night owl. But some clubs just don't have a day shift. If you go into Mons Venus at 3pm, you might be there by yourself. At 10pm, the place is filled with spinners.

But your question was "when I like to club". So my answer is 2-5pm, Tues-Thurs. Girls tend to give a little more "action" during those times.

I take Mondays off for the sole purpose of doing whatever the fuck I want. I like to visit strip clubs at lunchtime when there are few customers, less frantic atmosphere. True, there are fewer dancers, but I can usually find one that I like...and the VIP areas are much more deserted, which allows for more play. I'd be fine with being the only guy in the joint, but noon visits are about as close to that as I can get...and I HAVE been the only guy on quite a few occasions...at least for an hour or two.

I live an hour away from my favorite club, and I work a typical daytime job Mon-Fri. So, due to my work schedule and club preference, Friday and Saturday evenings are usually the most convenient time for me to go.

Although recently I did have a day off in the middle of the week and I went to the club on a Wednesday night. I caught up with my CF, who I hadn’t seen in a while. However, during the time she was dancing on stage, one by one, I had to fend off dancers I had no interest in. Yes, there were a lot less customers than there are on a Friday or Saturday night, but there were plenty of other customers in the club, so I’m not so sure how I suddenly became a hot commodity. But, overall I did like the club atmosphere a lot better on a mid-week evening than on a weekend evening.

Dayshift - noon to 5 has been my only experience. I'm home in evening. Happily my closest, local club has a fine dayshift lineup; several who tell me my gentle hands were appreciated. (or was it the twenties?)

Usually in the afternoon on weekdays. The clubs are not as busy as at night and the dancers will spend more time with you. The dayshift girls are often older single moms who have more in common with me than girls in their teens and early 20's. However, I sometimes hit clubs at night just to see new dancers.

Thursday and Sunday nights between 9pm and midnight. I've had a better time and less "wanna dance" strippers when its slower. I dont like going on Friday and Saturdays because that is usually too crowded with newbies and groups. Most of the dancers that work the weekend nights also work either Thursday or Sunday as well.

I haven't day clubbed since I was younger and worked construction where we were done with work by 3pm.

Everybody knows the best time to hit my favorite club is the day shift. So that is when I go unless I am out of town. Then the choices are a strip club or the hotel room & TV at night. I'll usually go for the strip club.

Day shift, mostly week days for me. I like the more relaxed vibe and family commitments wouldn’t allow for evenings and weekends anyway. My kids have all been athletes and their sports are year round. Plus they have other activities I don’t know if things will change when they’re all grown up but for now, I’m not willing to miss their games for clubs.

For the first 12 or 13 years of my PL-career I clubbed mostly on Fr/Sat eves b/c that is what I was used to doing from my younger days, i.e. one did their partying on weekend eves - I became a somewhat regular SCer at age 30 and felt perfectly comfortable SCing on weekend eves and it felt like the natural time to go and the crowds didn't bother me at all since I kinda expected that for a weekend eve and kinda enjoyed the vibe of a busy club - back then for me SCing was as much of something to do as much as getting w/ the dancers - I was never really a big bar guy or nightclub/dance-club type of guy so once I started making pretty-good $$$ I enjoyed hanging out at a SC on a weekend eve rather than going drinking or nightclubbing - I did the bar and nightclubbing thing in my younger days mainly b/c that is what my friends were into (as most young-people) but I never really felt quite comfortable or that I quite fit-in in that type environment of nightclubs and bars and drinking and smoking.

To me the concept of SCing on dayshift seemed strange/awkward - it felt more natural to go on weekend eves to blow off some steam from a long week.

It wasn't till I joined TUSCL that dayshift SCing sorta got on my radar by reading posts of other TUSCLers that claimed how much they enjoyed dayshift - I wasn't sold and still thought dayshift SCing was odd, but after I joined TUSCL I became a much heavier SCer and started exploring the SC scene more and that included trying dayshift just to try it.

I eventually tried a dayshift SC visit and to my kinda surprise had a good time and subsequently would hit the club on dayshift from time to time but it's not as if I instantly switched to dayshift-SCing - but the more I SCed on dayshift the more comfortable it felt to where now I'll do a nighthshift visit mainly if I just gotta get out of the house and do something; but if I'm hard-up for SCing I prefer the dayshift for the reasons others have said - mainly I like SCing to be as little effort/work as possible, and I feel I can just relax and enjoy myself more on dayshift:

- more relaxed vibe all the way around (dancers, custies, staff)

- I don't wanna have to be competing/putting-in-effort to get with a particular dancer b/c there's a whole bunch of other PLs that either wanna get w/ her or that she will be visiting with

- IME, on avg nighthshift girls seem more cutthroat and less about the customer - IME on avg nighthshift girls don't put in the same-effort as dayshift girls which often translates into more hit or miss mileage

- I also feel I have more energy to enjoy clubbing on dayshift vs towards the end of a long day


w.r.t. dayshift it seems there is a bit more vibe and more dancers later in the week vs earlier in the week but there is something to be said for a slow club w/ hungry dancers - i.e. I've had some very-good times on some Mondays and Tuesdays in a slow-club where I've gotten excellent attention/QoS - Miami clubs close at 5am (and some 6am) thus most clubs seem to have 3 dancer shifts and seems late afternoons b/w 5 and 8 pm there is overlap of dayshift and midshift girls thus more dancers; thus my preferred clubbing time is b/w 4 and 8 pm when there seem to be more dancers available - I usually shoot to get there by 5:30 the latest since the small black clubs I like to hit are pretty-popular hangout spots w/ the post-work crowd that likes to go and hangout at the club but not necessarily buy dances; these clubs start getting busy post 6pm and them being small it doesn't take much for it to feel a bit crowded.

Weekend dayshift SCing also felt awkward to me - about 3 or 4 years ago I decided to hit one of my small black clubs on a Sunday afternoon b/c I didn't feel like doing anything that day - wasn't expecting much but ended up having a good time and in the early-afternoon it was very relaxing and laidback - and by late-afternoon past 5pm the club would get pretty-packed and a lot of dancers present - at many of the small black clubs I visit there is a good # of girls that will dance weekend dayshift only b/c they have a regular job during the week - after that experience on a lazy Sunday afternoon, Sat and Su afternoons started being my preferred times to visit the small black clubs I hit b/c there seemed to actually be more dancers than on weekday dayshifts - not having an S.O. or kids I'm pretty-flexible w.r.t. which days I can SC.

Not ever really being into nightclubs or bars, I was never really a late-night party person thus dayshift seems to be a more natural fit for me - I've kinda always liked dayshift activities more than typical nightshift activities.

I’d like to add I just love the challenge/vibe of weekend nights. Yeah the games harder but the whole thing is just way more fun/interesting. Aslong as it not packed to the gills with customers. That ruins it completely.

Dayshift, any day of the week, for dayshift's usual advantages: fewer customers per stripper, less hustle, more time for the money spent, more lax rules: overall, just more chiller (as the kids say)

When I do nightshift, I like to get there just as it starts (depending on the club, 6pm or 7pm) and staying those first 3 hours or so. Even the nightshift B-team -- that is, the girls who bother to show up before 11pm -- are still as a group far hotter than dayshift, so it can be a decent compromise... although nightshift B-team is still a bit more hustle-y and less chiller than dayshift girls

Ironically, my last SC trip was 11pm-4am. Holy fuck are the girls hot. But the hustle level guarantees I won't be doing this often.

When I was younger and SCed, I equated a busy club w/ a good-vibe - these days (late-40s) a busy club often gets more on my nerves than it feeling like a good-vibe - and I have much less patience for some of the asshat custies on nightshift that think they are the center of attention at the club and like to act-up and draw attention to themselves by being loud and/or obnoxious or just acting like douches - didn't really bother me that much if at all in my 30s & early-40s but these days it often gets on my nerves - I guess I'm in the "GET OF MY LAWN" stage of life.

@Subraman, yeah, the after midnight girls tend to be hotter around here as well. Just not hotter *enough* to stay so late as to make me useless the next day. :)

Even as a young-kid, I was into MlLFs - so for me the hotness of the late nightshift girls is not really that much of a motivator - I get more turned-on by an attractive (to me) 30 or 35 y/o than a hot 19 or 20 y/o - actually 19 and 20 y/o girls although I can say they look-good are not really the type of woman that I prefer - thus for me, I don't feel I'm missing out on not getting w/ dancers I like by not hitting nightshift (as long as the club has a decent dayshift) - and as jackslash posted, I naturally enjoy the company of an older dancer than an inexperienced-in-life young girl that often will not treat me the way an older dancer does.

I prefer off peak nights (Mo-Thu, Su if no home football game). I like dayshift for many of the reasons prior posters mentioned. However, dayshift clubbing is not compatible with my favorite non-clubbing pursuits, so off peak nights it is by default. If I go to club during day, it will most likely be 3pm or later. As for weekend peak nights- while it is true that more hotties show up, the increased crowd levels negates much of that advantage. Then too, a higher percentage of ROB's out to make $$ off of tourists, newbs, and infrequent clubbers show up. Have the mentality of "do the least for the most" versus the off peak dancers who know that they must treat customer right to keep regular repeat business. That said, I don't let that stop me from going if I happen to have the urge on a peak night. Some gems can be found with patience.

If I lived near a club with a halfway decent dayshift, then I’d work there in a heartbeat. My natural personality doesn’t really care for loud music/obnoxiousness (and in my personal life, my night-life preferences are wine bars or the quieter hookah lounges)

I remember at one club I did decently well on days/mid shift for a while, but then once a core group of regulars figured out that I wasn’t going to allow titty sucking/FIV all-included at $20/song, then my new girl money lost its sheen, and I had to switch to the “party shift” anyways. Ah well. But one gets used to it.

^Idk nice, but by my count the majority in this thread seem to prefer night shift.

Now with that said, I could see the day where my preferences could change from night to day. But right now I have trouble imagining clubbing when the sun is still bright in the sky. There is something about the combo of cocktails and the cover of darkness that just makes the whole thing work better.

There are no local clubs worth visiting in Cincinnati so I only club when I am out of town for business. That means during the week I am usually limited to evening clubbing. When possible I try to tack on a day before or after my scheduled business trip to hit the clubs during the day since I prefer the laid back atmosphere.

I do most of my clubbing day shift, often during the week. The usual dayshift advantages. I do occasionally club on weekend nights, but don't dig the crowds or sloppy seconds so its a different experience.

When I was single, picking up dancers was easier on a Thursday night because it had a kick start vibe to the weekend party crowd, and that’s who I gravitated towards for a tryst/hook up. Now that I have family commitments I’m going during the daytime only, for a couple drinks and a couple dances from a decent grindage girl for an LDK, giver her a tip for good service so I’m on my way home to take a quick nap before evening parental duties. Ah the simple life!
rickdugan

^ So DC you are saying that they are claiming that they're into night shift, but really they're into dayshift but just don't realize it? Because otherwise none of that real made much sense. ;)

But even assuming that's your position, I'd still contend that "laid back and relaxed" are not solely the province of the dayshift in many clubs. A Tuesday night can be plenty laid back in any number of clubs. I think that timing preferences have as much to do with the lifestyle of the monger than what he is seeking per se. The average day customer in many clubs tends to be far older than the average night customer, which makes sense given that most men who are not yet retired cannot normally hang out in a strip club at 2:00 in the afternoon on a Wednesday.
rickdugan

Also, I think that guys who still have work and family responsibilities are conditioned to think of night time as their fun time. Count me in as one of them. Maybe some day I won't be bothered by walking out of a club, a little fuzzy after a few pops, while the sun is still bright in the sky, but right now it would seem too weird to me. Of course, for medical and other reasons, older retirees are also less likely to drink much - again going back to lifestyle.

Again, this is nothing against those who prefer the day. Go yee forth and enjoy of course. But it is nice to see more night shift types deciding to join us and weigh in, which makes this place more representative of actual club customer bases.

Since I've never been a weekly or biweekly monger, and have a busy schedule, basically I went when I had time. I've had different faves at different clubs working different shifts.. One who worked afternoons while another worked evenings and one who did both. But overall I like the sweet spot of enough customers so I'm not one of the few, but not so many that I get ignored.
rickdugan

Nice, that was quite a diligent effort and if my tally was off then mea culpa. I'd still qualify the swing shift as more night than day, but even still you'd be right. I guess we have yet more progress to make before these threads are more reflective of actual club customer mixes.

i guess i like going at night when its not busy. in other words, on night shifts not named friday or saturday.

i like the type of shifts where i can have a dancer i like all to myself. this is easier accomplished when the club is not as busy

My preference is crossover of late dayshift through early nightshift for: (1) the variety, (2) the lower hustle / reduced sausagefest, and (3) experiencing dancers I like at same club but who work opposite shifts. If I've got all night, I then split the club around 9, get more buzzed with some drinks, have dinner and return.
That MO is when I'm clubbing alone cuz the few pals I club with (only occasionally, unfortunately) are available nightshift and I find it fun to club with pals and so I happily endure the accompanying higher hustle / sausagefest. Ya it can be annoying on Fri or Sat night but if a fave I like is there it's all good.

For me part of the reason why I prefer nights is simply because a lot of clubs near where I live are regular-heavy during the daytime. I assume that if I go during the day, I’d face the risk of being largely ignored while girls give all their attention to whales. Besides, I see plenty of girls on night shift that are my type, which are girls in their mid-20’s that have a fit body type.

My answer to when and why is the same - because I am bored and/or horny. This may get me at a club at 3 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning. My preference is late afternoon / early evening. This seems to be the sweet spot for smaller crowds, dancers looking to earn, and less management scrutiny.

My sweet spot is Monday through Friday from about 2PM till about 7PM, mainly because I don’t have a lot of tolerance for the high hustle level that starts up after the second shift girls start arriving, that said if I’m hanging with a fave I’ll stay until 9 or 10. I rarely go Friday nights unless I’m meeting someone specific be it a buddy or a gal, and just about never Saturday or Sunday days or nights. After many years of clubbing I prefer days hands down.

Also agree it is club/city driven. Day shift at Follies, 11:30-2 was go to with an occasional Sat or Sun same time window. Early day shift in most other clubs isn't worth it.

I usually like going to the club on Tueday through Friday from noon till 630. Every once in a while i will club till 930 at BSC, but only on Fridays. BSC is a different animal on Fridays, its bang, bang, next. Overall, just day shift and the begining of swing shift. I personally think the crowd on the weekends, being with Friday evening is full of amatures that cant hold their liquor. Its a bunch of rift raft. Theres pee everywhere on the restroom floor, and the restroons smell like puke.

Have done plenty of both and had great times either way. Often it's not a choice when I want to but, due to circumstance when I am able to. But, if I had to pick I would say I prefer the chill vibe of a weekday afternoon in a club populated by MILFY professionals who know what they are doing as opposed to an overcrowded weekend when the club is full of drunken party types and dancers who are just trying to make maximum bank.

In my area day shifts are usually not that great. Even if they were I usually prefer night. Sundays are usually laid back and everyone on a generally good mood. I like going then. If I am visiting a favorite I would prefer a slower night. If I am wanting to meet new dancers I prefer busy Saturday nights.

I'm a nights and weekends kind of guy. Twenty years ago in my late 20's, I remember there being some hot girls on dayshirt. Fast forward to now, I haven't found a decent day shift yet. Weekends at night are best to find the hottest girls...Week nights are good when you've found one and want to monopolize her for a night...

Best times for me are nightshift on weekend adjacent days (read Thursday or Sunday). But the moons need to line up for those visits to happen, so second best is some afterwork visits. Wed & Thurs are the best days. Friday afternoon more talent, but also busier.
