Timing of club visits vs. those in reviews

Easily 90+% of strip club activity occurs at night. Simply put, in most areas, dayshift is far quieter than night shift. That's because most strip club customers still work for a living. Shit, in many areas, some or all of the clubs don't even open during the day. Yet it seems like easily 50% or more of the reviews I read on this site are for dayshift visits.
This disconnect has proven challenging when I read reviews. Sometimes I have to scroll down several reviews before getting to a night visit. I also suspect that this odd situation skews ratings in favor of clubs with better dayshifts.
Maybe we may need to encourage more non-geriatric types to come here and post reviews. đ

But of course most guys don't behave like Doctor, which is exactly the point, yet weird ass dudes like him are over-represented in our reviews. Most guys visit clubs at night and have daytime obligations. They are not weird day stop guys who drink cokes ITC and troll an Internet forum sporting a weird avatar from the 80s that screams "takes it up the ass" - at least when his ass was young enough to handle it.
No offense to anyone here except for doctordipshit. Maybe it is just natural for retirees to have more free time to write reviews and such. But I do hope that we can find a way to beef up our night time representation on this board.
Fair enough KG. Also, I don't want to discount the Happy Hour crowd either, which picks up in a few clubs in my local area. But outside of urban areas, most clubs are simply dead during the day and don't pick up until people return from work, eat dinner and maybe change.
I agree with your observation, but I'm not sure there's any way to fix it.
So when I read reviews about a visit at 12pm and the surprise that it was slow and only one or two dancers were there, I think doesn't everyone know SCs are slow in the morning, what a waste of a review, and a waste of a visit.
I guess if you wake up at 4am without an alarm clock, going to a SC at 12pm is not that early.
I think there are a number of reasons for this. The one 25 pointed out I think is very applicable to me, since we're in the same area. But I think the larger reason is that while the majority of strip clubbers are casual ones, not the type who read/write reviews or discuss strip clubbing on a website. They're the type who are sitting at a regular bar getting shot down by civies or at a house party that that they realized is a sausage fest, then decide to hit up a titty bar.
So again, while I agree with the premise that Ricks premise that there is a bit of a mismatch between TUSCL's reviews vs visits in general, I think TUSCL's review timings do align to TUSCL's general membership. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I think the majority of "hardcore" SC's include dayshift or even prefer dayshift, regardless of age.
For me personally, I'm under 40, but I still do most of SC'ing during the day. I won't get into why I prefer to do it during the day, but I do. My work & personal situation allow me the flexibility to go during the day, I'm not an old retired fart.
I think you may have just goaded me into suggesting another website redesign for Founder to tinker with.
I propose that by time of visit, place a big colored dot or triangle with yellow denoting day hours, blue denoting evening hours, and black denoting post midnight hours. That makes for a quicker scan. Of course I'd leave the printed hours after the color coded dot for the benefit of Tuscl members who might be color blind from jacking off to too much porn.
In unpublished reviews the time of visit comes before the text portion but after it is approved and published the text comes first. Even I would like to see the time of visit first.
Nor do I believe that you need to. I can only hope that I have the same stamina and resilience when I hit my geriatric years, assuming I make it that long.
This was more of a general observation about the dynamic of site participation. I don't want less senior citizen participation here - the more the merrier - just more of the younger crowd to round things out.
Even if there are a high # of dayshift reviews for a club I don't necessarily think that's a negative - one could assume a club with a popular dayshift is a good club all around with also a good nightshift.
Perhaps it would be a good idea to display the day & time in the "Quick View" display format, and also move it from the bottom to the top in the "Full View" display format
I assume you're talking about Playhouse.
Although from the recent reports that place is going downhill fast.
I don't think this skews ratings. If a club is open in the afternoon, reviews of the afternoon shift are essential. They reflect the total club. If a club has good reviews of the afternoon, this is important to know. If you only go at night, you can focus on night reviews in your decisions.
We geriatric types spend our money and get to review the clubs as we want.
After all, why else would you respond to doctorevil calling you a d-bag? I would think that any successful faux chemical engineer who engages in the activities you claim to engage in would be happy with his life.
And somebody who is happy with his life wouldnât be bothered by being called a d-bag by a random internet guy that youâve never met. But I guess Iâm wrong about that because the opinions of strangers who post on a web site for deviants clearly mean a lot to you! ;)

C'mon now Papi, I only meant from a purely statistical and timing standpoint. I was not targeting any one particular club, especially not one in Dallas. đ
Reviews and ratings that are mostly derived from dayshift are going to be naturally skewed to reflect conditions at that time, including lower daytime prices, less hustle and other factors. It doesn't take a Fields medal winner to figure this one out.
Would you also like to go on Stripperweb and chastise the dancers for overepresenting upscale and/or busy clubs? Perhaps there should be more ladies there just like the type who would work at Lollipops in Hudson Fl.
Club on weekends. I think if a club is good on the weeknights, then they are likely good on the weekends as well.
Sometimes I have to scroll down a dozen or more reviews to find the daytime reviews and Iâm really annoyed by this.
I think tuscl reviews are seriously skewed toward night time clubbers cause most of the reviews are from the late night weekend crowd so I think tuscl should advertise in AARP to get more octogenarians involved.
Seriously though, the reviews for any one club represent, on average, the cross section of tusclers that frequent said club. If there are lots of daytime reviews then that mostly means that there is a strong day shift. If that doesnât fit your desired info then find a different source of information. Rick doesnât get to change this web site to match his desired makeup but he can go start his own. In fact I encourage it.
More times than not I try to visit strip clubs for a long period of hours because they are so friggin far away from where I am hanging out. The city of industry clubs are sometimes an hour and a half to two hours away depending on the traffic. and Tijuana is 2 1/2 hours away if thereâs no traffic. like this last Friday I looked at the roster of one of the clubs in city of industry and I saw the name of one of the girls (that is now a rare show) so I got there at 3 PM after a hour and a half drive.
So I stayed almost 12 hours in the city of industry at two of my favored clubs in the USA.
All review sites suffer from something called âascertainment biasâ. I know that is a big word, so Iâll explain it to using Yelp restaurant reviews as an example.
On average, people who post Yelp reviews are more irritating to the wait staff than people who donât post Yelp reviews. When the wait staff are irritated they are more likely to add boogers and cum to food. This means that the reviews you read on Yelp arenât reviews of the average meal you are going to get if you show up. No, they are reviews of the average meal you are going to get if you show up and act like a jerk (but you wouldnât know anything about that, would you?)
Here is what you donât understand. If you take food from a Michelin starred restaurant and add a soupçon of boogers and cum, it is still better food than McDâs with boogers and cum. Perhaps there is the oddball case where food is improved by boogers and cum, but those are rare.
The upshot: the Yelp reviews are still correlated with food quality, despite the prodigious amounts of boogers and cum consumed by the reviewers.
It works the same way for TUSCL; you just need to substitute different bodily fluids. Isnât that brilliant?
