Trashing a strip club in a review vs everywhere else

I don't trash individual dancers, either in reviews or in response to PM inquiries. This is the dancer's livelihood, and I don't feel it's right even if I did not have a good time. The only exception would be an outright ROB.

I think that negative reviews are very important and should be posted as long as they are objective and constructive to some degree. It's one thing to completely desecrate someone's reputation because you didn't like their prices or their policy. I think that's completely wrong. But if there is something about that mom and pop operation that makes you not want to go there, then that's something they would hopefully want to hear.

Chef Gordon Ramsay has a couple of reality shows where he's turning around bad restaurants. The show usually starts with the owners complaining that business is very slow or they're not making any money and they're on the verge of having to shut it down. And so when he goes in as a secret shopper, he realizes that the food is terrible, and there's long wait times. And of course when he gets into the kitchen to see what's really going on he just goes nuts screaming at everyone.

But all that to say that if the product or service is terrible, you're not really doing that small business a favor by not saying bad things about them.

In 20 years of writing reviews for TUSCL, I have only trashed 2 clubs. If I find a place to be a shit hole I call it that. Both of those clubs have long been closed.

Strip clubs are niche and typically high end entertainment. If I spend good money I'd expect some level of experience. OTOH the cost of a cheap meal isn't worth the time to get upset by the time I leave. It'd be different if the restaurant was a five star venue w five star pricing that delivered a one star experience.

I’m not one to trash a club in a review. To completely trash a club - it would require me to go several times and have a miserable experience each time.

If a club is awful on my first visit, I may not return. I won’t trash the club here, as it’s a single visit and it’s not appropriate to trash it based on limited experience.

I know it’s easy to get worked up over a bad experience - and then write a review after. I don’t give those reviews much weight because of their emotional nature.

There are few locations on the Internet to find reliable reviews of strip clubs - and this site provides a location for folks to post useful strip club information. I’ve tried other sites - and it’s mostly comments trashing clubs - or about what dancer provides extras - or guys searching for past favorite dancers. So, I think it’s important to post reliable club information here.

Some clubs it's easy to tell the issues are how the club is run, and in those cases I'll put my thoughts out there about that. Especially if how the club is being run wastes my time. I'm there to waste money, so I care less about that unless it's clear the club is trying to rip me off.

A review is a retelling of a personal experience. If its bad its bad. I think yelp or google are better suited for more serious reviews. More people will see them.

The Yelp reviews for strip clubs tend to be trash, but I have run across them when checking to see when a club is open. Agree with the others TUSCL is much better for strip clubs.

I'm not looking for a review to make a decision for me. Even the most overwrought reviews have info I'm looking for to decide if a club is worth a look. But I'm also not looking for the "best" club to go to, just one that seems like it's got potential. For me to drive out of my way these days a club needs to be clearly established as a destination club.

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Bad reviews usually don't keep me from trying out a club. But if a restaurant has mostly bad reviews I'll avoid it.

How is tuscl better for strip club reviews when theyre only visible to VIP members? But I get some like tuscl reviews that let them know if hookers are working a club

"How is tuscl better for strip club reviews when theyre only visible to VIP members?"

How does the accessibility of gated content affect the quality of the TUSCL reviews? They're completely separate things. Now you're just wasting time.

Most aren't quality reviews. And ic they were what good are they when no one can access them

icey. most anyone can visit a strip club and submit a review. even me. i’m a newbie compared to you and most anybody else.
and so what if the girl is a hooker?? bottom line most ALL women sell themselves for something.

and most us guys sell ourselves for something. a job. a car. a career. a postion in society. a golf club membership.

"what good are they when no one can access them"

Plenty of us can access them. You either pay a small monthly fee or put a little effort into writing something to contribute. But I guess that doesn't make any sense to a socialist who wants everything in the world for free.

If I go eat at the worst reviewed Wendy's in my city, I'll still have spent money on calories that will have nourished me and allowed me to continue earning, and possibly dislodged some shit in my bowels.

If I go (unknowingly) to the worst reviewed club in my city, I potentially open myself up to the danger of physical violence, infection from poor control practices, and wasting my time that could have been spent at a better club.

Going to a poorly reviewed club carries far more weight with regards to my future.

I guess a little guide on writing reviews would be to touch on the following:
(i) prices (cover, parking, different types of vip, drinks)
(ii) bar vs byob
(iii) dances & dancers (air vs lap, haggard old dancers vs universally average or better)
(iv) safety (shit part of town, are the other patrons pushing the safety of others)
(v) ambience (does the club look nice and clean? are the bathrooms clean? etc.)
