So are things actually slow at your clubs?

I think it looks like there are more girls. But it's really clubs just having higher turnover rates. Hiring standards being low. And the hottest girls working several clubs. More girls traveling.

Clubs still get a lot of customers in some nights. But the amount of money circulating is a lot less. Girls aren't making nearly as much.

They've been a mix. I was at a club in Lexington about 7pm on a Fiday a few weeks ago and it was about half as crowded as normal. Then last week I was at a club in Columbus on a Tuesday and it was packed. The big difference was the club in Columbus had it's weekly $10 Tuesday special going on dances where the club in Lexington was its usual $20.

How is the talent on nights with specials like that? With LA clubs I'm seeing special events having a few girls who get their regulars to show up. With most girls not working those nights.

Honestly not so much, but Florida isn't like most places. We have transplants with money piling in so fast that I suspect that any drop off in existing club hounds is being offset by local population increase. Maybe a touch slower on Monday and Tuesday nights, but as the week rolls on things really pick up. I doubt we're going to see any real slowdown in the clubs until we get a recession deep enough to seriously impact the stock market and tech companies - like driving their values and earnings well below pre-pandemic highs.

Indianapolis clubs have lost about a fourth of their customers over the last three years and the girls are struggling to make money. Many girls were making just enough to get by and even a 25% drop in income will force many of them to look for other jobs.

This is due to three factors. The high inflation rate has left guys with less extra money to spend. The increased urban crime rate since the summer of Floyd has caused more of big city strip clubs middle-class customer base to move away. Covid caused a change in customer lifestyles. For example, I used to stop at strip clubs on the way home from work but switched to teleworking during the lockdowns and no longer do what I did before.

Just recently weekends in a lot of Northeast clubs are fucking packed to the gills I don't see the decline really but a stripper or a club furniture PL would have a way better read on it.

Yep! A fuck ton of new dancers and barely any foot traffic - even on weekends. Also, stripper Reddit is the new "pink site"/StripperWeb. Nobody posts on StripperWeb anymore, my dude. Get with the times.

I think a big factor is clubs taking money away from dancers by increasing
Prices for customers and higher house fees. Doing away with floor dances. Requiring dancers to sell bottles and sections.

I know situations where girls pay a $300 house fee. And only dance on stage then have to wait to be invited to a section. While customers pay a $100 cover. Need to buy an at least $500 bottle to sit in a section. The clubs are robbing everyone. On the flip side. Girls working dives with $25 vip only dances are broke. Especially when they have to compete with hookers.

My bar has been slow even on Friday/Saturday nights. It's normal to be quiet until fairly late, say 2300 or so, but lately it hasn't been picking up even then. Last night, when I left around midnight, there were probably 8-10 girls on the rotation and maybe the same number of PLs, most of whom weren't tipping or getting dances.

I assume we're gonna see the true-colors of the economy in 2023 and thus the true-effect on SCs - for me the current economic environment has a bit of an eerie calm-before-storm feeling where some people are starting to watch their finances more carefully and others are gonna keep going pretty-much full-speed till the shit actually hits-the-fan.

But to answer the question – I haven’t clubbed in a year – but keeping up w/ the reviews the popular-clubs still seem popular/busy – also, places like Miami/SoFlo have a good rep for partying including a good SC-scene and SoFlo seem to get a good-amount of out-of-area SCers which seems to pad the local-market.

More girls and less customers. It’s definitely more of a buyers market.

I’ve pretty much lost patience with cities. Thank goodness for country boys 🥰

fwiw... where I tend to club, it has been slow for some time.

Even when clubs are full, the percent of customers getting dances seems to be low.

I am in Houston

2 clubs told me they were not hiring, I thought it was bologna

Couple days ago I talked to a guy itc and he said he just came from one of those clubs, I said, Why did you come here from there?

He said, there was only one dancer and him in the whole place.

I'd have to say yes, simply because I've been the recipient of a couple of tentative feeler texts from a previously "not no, but fuck no" dancer. Started by complaining that a Saturday night is slow and she's thinking about leaving early. I replied, "that certainly sucks, I hope it picks up."

Another hour passes and I get another that says it's still stupid slow, and the people who *are* there aren't spending. I just replied with "bummer".

The next day, I get a "what would you actually want to do if we met somewhere" message on her snap. Since I'd already mentioned a couple of times exactly what I'd want to do, I answered "you know exactly what I want to do." 🤣

That was a little over a week ago, and I haven't heard anything since except for asking if I was coming in this past weekend. I didn't go because of other factors, but I did get a "damn" back. Haven't heard from her so far since.

Given that my current regular is treating me so well, and a bush on my dick is worth two in the club, I'm not in any hurry to pursue the matter, but I'm hopeful. She's almost as freaky as the adult book store escort, so I'm *really* hopeful, but Not gonna hold my breath.

I can't say for a fact it's slow, but my last visit to a club had more dancers than customers present at any given moment the entire time I was there. It's not generally that slow, so it may have been a fluke

===> "and a bush on my dick is worth two in the club"

Hilarious. Nice twist on the ol' saying. I thanked the post for this alone. 😂

No problem with the quantity of dancers at my clubs as long as you like Cubans. But I don't like non English speaking dancers. So there is a shortage of the type of dancers I prefer. I'm lucky to find 3 or 4 out of 50-60 dancers.
