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.
