The CEO of Ricks wants to turn every strip club into a night club. And you'll pay with freaking Bitcoin. https://twitter.com/TipNStrip
Personally, I think this a dumb but it makes sense. Maybe I am just old and out of touch?

The butcoin thing is dumb tjough
Several of my local strip clubs have tried to move to being a nightclub for younger people but have had mixed results. Attractive strippers only show up when they can make money and a major source of income for them has always been middle aged men with successful careers. When the club targets younger people drink sales hold up but these girls make less money off younger guys. What I have seen is crowded clubs with increasingly unattractive strippers up on stage who are increasingly ignored by the young people using it as a nightclub. The unattractive strippers then start driving off customers because they aren't pleasant to look at and are very overly aggressive trying to sell lap dances to make money.
At some point they may just drop the strippers completely. The only problem with this is that there already are lots of bars, dance clubs and night spots for young people and converted strip clubs will have to compete with that. They won't have their own unique market niche.
It’s just so weird to me just because I remember XTC in San Antonio which is only about 3 hours from their headquarters and which tbh probably should have had more active corporate monitoring but didn’t. If that was where they were at, maybe take more baby steps when trying to assert leadership. Instead of going on social media to post stupid things like this:

…and then there he is more recently with a “new” marketing idea. 🤦🏻♀️

And there are also so many headlines about Gen Z mental health issues, especially anxiety and depression

(the “make people feel inadequate” vibe of nightclubs and blaring loud music is not going to be a motivating place for people dealing with that. )
Also, plenty of headlines about the decline of nightclubs as well

Personal opinion: Gen Z, when they do come in, buys lapdances, and I have no problem stacking dances with them. Their social anxiety actually makes things easier for me because they will often ask for a dance before I do that, and they don’t want to deal with the stress of trying to carry a conversation with me. And they get multiple dances. And, despite a few exceptions. they aren’t Karen-ing for higher mileage and tend to get uncomfortable if I do too much too quickly, so I’ve learned to put more air in the dances with them.
If I ran a club catering to them I’d:
1. Give them a chill environment, and don’t let the extra aggressive brutal hustlers trigger them so they leave and never come back. And not just from dancers, but also staff members who want to push alcohol sales.
I literally remember this one guy who went back and fourth between me and another dancer and bought a bunch of dances from us both. With me, he walked up to my stage to ask for dances initially. With her, she was going hard to get him back there. Towards the end, he said he really only wanted to dance with me but he struggled with saying no to her. Yes, a lot of older guys and dancers themselves would mock him for that, but I honestly think that’s a common enough trait with young guys and shouldn’t be ignored if the longevity of clubs are actually important.
2. I’d also brighten up the lights and turn down the volume. There would be racial and body diversity (because Gen Z views more than just skinny white girls as a beauty standard) but all the dancers would be pretty and still look good even in a brighter setting—so doing that shouldn’t be a deterrent. It would make for a better environment for them to be able to relax in.
3. Also, have stricter rules against pushy behavior from dancers or other staff members. These guys don’t need to be “convinced”—they will either buy or not buy. Buuuut let’s face it, that’s pretty much the antithesis of how clubs like to run themselves, from either staff members or dancers (aside from those pesky young dancers that hang out on their phones all the time and won’t circulate)…and the industry is doomed lol
Also, why is only Bitcoin and not the adorable Doge coin going to be accepted?
Ooh yeah, and I’d also encourage everyone to take a trauma informed certification course, that the club itself would sponsor. That way dancers could get better trained with dealing with the behaviors of lonely guys in a less adversarial way. I guess the titty bar I’d run would be a pretty woke one. 😂 And also, some of the non-alcoholic liquors out there look pretty interesting. Why can’t more places make alternative cocktails?
I’m not claiming that anything that I’d say would be the solution, just a better idea than whatever moronic thing this Ricks CEO is saying. Dude needs to just get off the Twitter and snort cocaine and not bother anyone.
Because the owner of Rick's is a bitcoin investor and he knows the only way his internet funbux goes up in value is if he forces other people into it.
I have no problems with adding bitcoin payment options to strip clubs, customers and dancers will quickly realize why it sucks as a payment option.
I've told girls I'm not into fondling strangers for money and I'm sure she doesn't like being findled by strangers either. To just twerk for me. Never had a negative reaction to that lulz. And after a few drinks they're usually the ones fondling me.
A lot of clubs will make non alcoholic drinks if you ask. My favorite club doesn't serve alcohol but has slushies and coconut water served in coconuts.
Girls can make money in clubs that are like regular clubs. They usually get much better stage tips and being invited to a section guarantees a few hundred.
I love dark loud clubs though. The darker tye better and I love heavy bass sounds.
Basically these clubs are just more like black clubs.
What I hate and think has no future are strip clubs that try to be lounges. Selling hookah and bottles or you don't get to sit. Some selling bar stools for like $50 and you must have a drink at all times.
"Upscale Urban" clubs (like "upscale" nightclubs in general) target people who want to feel like they are part of the "in" crowd. Hence the bitcoin crap.
If there ends up not being a club for anybody's particular niche, it will likely be the gubment's fault. The gubment just generally makes it impossible or hard to open a new club, because that's popular with a loud segment of the voters. Gubments HAVE generally done a good job of keeping adult entertainment away from residential areas. Gubments should properly focus on preventing worker (stripper) abuse.
And yes demographics do matter because I’ve noticed strip clubs tend to be a good reflection of the local culture of its area. Not perfectly, but close enough.
Two tacos
But I guess if that’s what he wants to do, then hopefully all the Ricks owned clubs will start handing out seaweed mustaches

Are you saying that, in woke places, the average PL is more polite to strippers?
From the ones I know. There's a commission on bottle and section sales. Plus she dances in the sections she sells.
The "adult" branding works. It aims to make the club appear more sophisticated.
The worst aspect is that they use nite club promoters who at times just fill the club up with their people rather than those wanting to spend money
The old vs young argument has been discussed here ad nauseam.
There are good and shitty old custies.
There are good and shitty younger custies.
It isn't so cut and dry as young vs old and there are so many other factors involved.
It helps to keep an open mind... And I'd say this goes for custies and strippers.
Idk if I was a custie and say had a race preference or certain type but another chick ticked off every box minus one- I'd still be happy.
I have my "preferences" and stereotypes, but these are not hard and set rules ever.
Anyway whatever. Rambling and wasting time :')
I feel like there would be some issues arising from this, but again this is just my speculation based on what I've seen with credit card sales being bigger than cash.
I mean like these Puerto Rican or Colombian or whatever the fuck plastic chicks in FL
In other areas skinny strippers were usually like unhealthy yuck druggie skinny or just skinny fat bitches who are skinny yet somehow still sloppy???
Blah. My problem with bbls is the way they feel. And I hate the ones where she has skinny thighs and a huge butt. I like the ones with yhe small waists and the butt that's more like a lift and matches her thighs.
I think girls in Florida look good because of yhe weather. They wear less clothes so there's more pressure to have a nice body. Vegas and Southern California are like that too
I don't mind a big butt against somewhat smaller thighs, and I don't think that looks that unnatural. A lot of natural butts bubble out way past the thighs. But the thighs and calves need to be substantial enough to where it doesn't look like toothpicks and a diaper butt if that made sense. What bothers me the most is the stomach area on most BBL chicks who either got a bad surgery/didn't do proper aftercare/ don't maintain their shape. I have noticed a lot of chicks who get a BBL and don't maintain their body by eating ok/halfass exercising have a smallish, yet somewhat sloppy stomach lmfao. It really grosses me the fuck out. The smarter sloppy BBL bitches hide their stomachs. I don't care how dark the club is that shit is barf worthy when u see it up close the fucking psuedo cellulite weird stretchy skin and fucked up belly button etc etc yuck!
After care is key. And if you want to keep the results you need a healthier lifestyle. A lot of girls will eat like shit and drink too much. Do drugs. And theyll have busted faces and yeah the stomachs get gross looking.
LA has like 4 million people. Miami like 400k. You'll see a lot of different types.
No. Seattle is woke as fuck, but we have lots of strip clubs, and every other kind of SW as well.
although maybe i shouldn't talk my under eye area is a horror story. Unusually bad for a white.
I feel like 95% of us want the latter. Some the former as well.
They say "if it's too loud, you're too old", and yeah, I am old. Still spend money.
Most? I don't know. Here's what I do know:
* when the cops do a sting on one of the many rub and tugs, people get mad that they are wasting time and money, and make a stink, they don't congratulate the cops
* there are dozens of amps, 11 Sc's, maybe 100 bikini barista stands, hundreds of tna girls, street walkers all over aurora avenue, and many pages of sugar babies on seeking all in seattle. Somebody is getting past the immorality and paying enough cash for sex work that these people stay in business. Even without alcohol in clubs.
* many libs here see sw as a legitimate profession, to the point that the phrase "....but I'm pro sex worker" is common enough to be a trope.
* unless you are trafficking in underaged or enslaved women, or being a super nuisance in a wealthy part of town (there have been examples of each) you aren't getting busted for p4p in seattle.
I'm sure there's plenty of pissy feminists that don't approve, prudes, control freaks, and believe it or not a bunch of fundamentalist religious kooks going in for the local hardline christian churches ala Mars Hill, but for the most part Seattle seems to be cool with sw's.
If you asked a typical seattle lib what they think is immoral in america, you'd hear about racism, sexism, transphobia, wealth inequality, trump, etc. etc. standard lib spiel. Not sw's.
So I would guess we are more or less as tolerant of sw as any other US city.
People who oppose sexism naturally have hostility to strip clubs. Most PLs go to strip clubs to ho, but feel superior to strippers, who are generally less hos than the typical PL. I'm only OK with strip clubs, because if a woman is strong enough to handle it, she has the right to have the option to strip.
I can see certain clubs doing well if they do it right – as @Warrior mentioned, E11even in downtown Miami is a hybrid nightclub/strip-club and kinda a party-club and seems very-popular (never been) – Tootsies Miami on the weekends seems to get filled w/ a lot of partiers that seem to be there mostly for the vibe/scene vs buying dances or doing VIPs – so I can see it working for the club but makes me wonder if the dancers will do well in that type of environment where it’s more about the scene/vibe/party vs getting with the dancers.
I don’t think this would be the end of “conventional” strip-clubs – I would think there would still be a demand for them – what I would see as competition for mileage-strip-clubs is if brothels/prostitution became legal (seems in other countries where prostitution/brothels are legal; strip-clubs are not much of a thing or they are few in #s and often not that good).
I doubt that. It seems more likely to me that people who oppose sex are hostile to strip clubs. I suspect you can't believe that liberals are anything but prudish no fun radicals, and have a hard time imagining that we like a good handy as much as the next guy. Along with a slice of avocado toast, of course. ;)
That seems believable to me. Based on reviews here FL is some kind of Mecca for dirty lap dances, and is conservative. Seattle is pretty damn great extras wise, and liberal. It must be something other than politics.
Probably the high average dick size of local PLs……. KIDDING!
^^ idiot loser, who is completely wrong.
Generally only people who are very tribal are purely lib or cons. In my book, if someone goes to strip clubs, that's a sort of hoing, so it's hypocritical for them to call strippers hos as a put down. That seems sexist to me, but no general consensus as to what sexism is.
Losers who can't get laid or talk to girls get to spend time rejecting scantily clad women or paying them for their company. Things they'd never have outside the club setting.
Yes, in the form of a pimping, pandering, woman beating, woman manipulating, lying, stealing piece of shit who tucks a few progressive policies make him mostly superior.
Can't get more sexist than that!
So the “rejecting scantily clad women” doesnt mean its some ego stroke game it could simply mean they dont think shes worth paying for 🤡 .
And dude you paid insane amounts for a dancers company. You can call it a relationship but you were still paying her big money
I mean that stuff does happen but it usually pretty rare.
But as with other things you only generalize one side of the equation. All cops are bad, but not all gangsters are bad. All customers are bad, not all dancers are bad 🐵
What does it say about you who uses the girls and the environment to make a buck?
Biggest degenerate here.
Tetraplop. No. I've helped a lot of girls though.
I have noticed some patterns or trends related to sexuality though in conservative/republican places vs liberal/democrat areas. I have noticed that girls in more "conservative areas" are just weird about some things. Like they will talk about "I would never wear clothes like that irl" but then they tell u all their free slutting around activities they do??? ick at least get paid lmfao, there are so many hot young men who have tried to pay me for sex so I don't think it is that difficult... I'd say the biggest sluts are in republican states by far lmfao. And there is more trash that keeps the baby but has no daddy or multiple baby daddies welfare trash in republican states. I am pro abortion cuz I hate these types of people to an extreme.
Idk so far I've never scared anyone off when the lights come on at the end of the night lmfao
I am talking about chicks who intentionally pop out like 3 kids by 3 different men to get crazy good welfare and be a societal leach.
I am not saying anything bad about girls who have bad luck with husbands/ other men they got kids with w/e.
