Walk in. This is definitely not what I’m looking for. If I’m not writing a review for the club (in that case I gotta bear down and take some notes for a little bit) but if not I’m walking right the fuck out. I don’t want to buy a drink for this shit. I try to scout hard to see if I want to be here if not I’m already thinking about the next club I’m going to. Now doing this it might look a little crazy and you might get a reaction from staff, a couple recent door bouncers were like “Hey, what happened!?!?”
How long are you hanging in there? m.youtube.com


Depending on the size of the club… if it’s dead then I go buy my obligatory one drink and sit and watch the stage rotation in case there’s a hot dancer hiding in the dressing room that I didn’t see when I came in.
I like to bounce around to clubs especially if I’m in a city where there are several decent clubs close by. In that case if I go into a club and it’s crowded and this may be my 3rd club of the night I can just go hang out somewhere and watch the rotation hoping to find someone that catches my interest. Watching a rotation in a larger club can take 30-45 min - minimum.
Now walking into a dump and I didn’t realize it was that bad, or a normal club that’s just dead??? I’ve turned around and walked right back out, I’ve been stopped several times by a bartender, dancer, bouncer with the “where are you going you just got here?” Not in a threatening way but the “hey give us a chance” guilt trip. I usually say “oh I left my phone in my car” (which is usually true) and just leave.
Maybe I’m traveling for work and only have a few nights the entire month to club, I gotta make those nights count and can’t just sit around and waste a night away in a dive. I’d actually rather sit in my hotel room alone than sit at a dead strip club and get pestered by ugly dancers all night.
