Is anybody happy with their local strip clubs?

When even the Detroit and Miami guys are starting to bitch you know we're not in the golden years. Seems like everybody chirping though. Anybody thrilled with what's going on in their backyard right now?

Adapt or die.
This way we can get venues as good as Tijuana.
But to do this we need the legal software, the paper work, the contracts, the papers we show to LE when they challenge us. We need to make the cast that this is not a retail business, and so we have no premises, crew, or regular premises, so we are exempt from zoning or labor laws, as well as laws and public sex and lewd conduct laws.
Other people are doing this, like that Party in Manhattan. But we also have new places opening like Aces of Dallas, and old places converting like Furnace in Birmingham AL and a place in WV.

To elaborate; Less clubs, turnover, diversity of music, quality/hustling dancers.
Still enough satisfying visits to keep me at it.
As a silver lining, the dancer OTC opportunities are more frequent.
My feelings on the clubs in the 4 cities (Louisville, Lexington, Columbus, Indianapolis) that I club in most often is a mixed bag. I am happy with the clubs in Louisville and Lexington. Columbus has been in a steady decline for almost 5 years but is still at least decent. Indianapolis has been very hit or miss since covid and my last couple of visits have been clear misses.
I travel for work but also mix in personal stops during work trips to go to cities with better strip clubs.
Guys with money have mostly disappeared. Pretty young females won't show up for a bunch of broke guys so they have mostly disappeared too. I used to have lots of long term regulars but fewer dancers stay a long time now, since they make less money. There are still a few bright spots. We have more pretty Hispanic dancers now than we used to. There are three or four clubs that tourists go to that have held up. Last Saturday night I went to Red Garter downtown and got lap dances from a pretty blonde who told me she was a college economics major. The Indiana clubs outside Indianapolis are about the same and I've had nice visits to Anderson and Kokomo clubs recently.
I use to have a fav who'd get pretty wild on me during lappers. But, even with all the drama she had with the guys she was dating or hooking up with, it wasn't enough for her. She needed to have much drama with me too. It eventually got so I couldn't tolerate it. My other favs have been much lower drama, but their lappers are much more tame. So now I dream of a frankenstripper who gets wild, but is also low drama, and feel sorry for myself.
I pretty much get to clubs once in a while now because it seems like more of a treat when I do, rather than going just to go. I’ve fallen into that rut before and I try to notice those ruts and adjust accordingly to get out of them. So if I’m not enjoying the clubs so much, I figure it’s probably me more than the club and I take a break and do something else. Sure, there are sometimes changes in clubs that I’m not thrilled about but they are usually small potatoes in the broader scheme of things.
I find it a great change - going to a strip club where nobody is wearing masks - it’s a relaxed atmosphere - and folks are friendly. Having women in bikinis dancing is an added bonus.
Also, the last time I went (in mid March), the dance prices were the same. I think it’s the one place where I’m not paying more - for less.
Mostly NO
Too many fatties and bad hygiene junkies took over a few years ago.
I think another trend is that table and stage dancing are making big comebacks among younger PLs. Not quite as tame as back in the 90s, but close. Dancers like it better, and young PLs are more likely to be into the music dancers want to dance to. Naturally seen as a bad trend among us geezers who dominated TUSCL.
This time last year, club was mostly full of newbies, and I swear on several visits every damned one of them was at least letting me rub a little on the outside, but under the cloth. Most were encouraging Jr. to come out... One has me all up in it for a discounted dance price!!!
This year, some of them are still there, some of them are new again. They are on average, a lot more fun to look at. And not as much fun otherwise. Same girls, same club, same day of the week even, different rules.
but that place always kinda wavered back and forth like that a little bit... I suspect day shift is about the same, but doesn't fit my schedule.
(music's been on the downhill slide for years now... progressively getting worse... Some of the shit I've heard is even bad by rap standards... Guy mumbling about how he get high and fucked a bitch over the same sample track on repeat for 3 minutes.... at least it's not that bad locally but a couple years back visiting Memphis I swear that's what was passing for music.)
Visits vary of course, but some fun always had. YMMV, I'm happy with just some fondling, no extras for me.
The Club Desire bouncer touched desertscrub on his tiny little pee pee and made it stand up, leaving him confused as to whether or not he was a real man. Hence his grudge against the place.
Cell phones are obvious- they are addictive and self-reinforcing. You can get lost for hours in a rabbit hole of tik-tok videos and instagram posts.
The immigrants, especially from the Caribbean and Mexico, only know "Wanna dans?" If your answer isn't yes, then they move on. They do not know enough English to sit, talk, and shoot the breeze. Since I speak Spanish, I can make conversation if the girl is attractive enough (so many are just chubby), but they would prefer to congregate in groups on their phones. Other South Americans - primarily Brazil and Argentina- are more likely to drive conversation than other nationalities, but they also have GPS when it comes to quoting other prices.
Locally, clubs like Allure (formerly Babe's) is almost uniformly fuglies on the day side. It gets pretty dangerous at night, but they have had some more attractive dancers on that side. Vixens runs hot and cold on overall looks, but tattoos are a hot thing for their dancer and the ones I'm seeing are neither tasteful nor classy. Looker's just hasn't been the same since the remodel. The whole feng shui is off now, although they do have a few smokeshows dancing there.
If we do this, US venues can be as good as Tijuana

Translation: I've never been within restraining order distance of any strip clubs but that doesn't stop me from thinking I know how they should be run.
There's no secret software to it.
I’ll bet that’s also part of what’s slowing down this website
Instead of normal threads with 2-50 responses the jerks are opening and keeping open threads with hundreds of responses
I think a lot of people are probably reading reviews, and these will be VIP members
We need to get beyond retail strip clubs and get to the private party / membership club model. TUSCL could be a big help in making that happen.

We need to set up Membership Club / Private Party venues.
