WHAT is going on with the "Top Ten"?

First off, I've never even heard of the following: Dancer's Show Club, CT's Adult Superstore, or The Lodge. I always thought Baby Dolls was the "place to be" in Dallas, although recent reviews indicate that it's on the decline. The former two, Dancer's Show Club and CT's Adult Superstore, appear to be nothing but dives with plenty of cheap extras available (I'm not saying that the availability of extras isn't a huge factor in rating a club, but in the case of these two clubs, it seems to be the ONLY factor). Then, of course, there's Hot Lap Dance... another club that I've NEVER heard of until it miraculously appeared in the #1 spot (with plenty of reviews that seem to have been made by the same shrill poster); no pole, no DJ, no stage? What the hell kind of strip club is that? That, of course, brings me to my final point: Adelita's. Why is a brothel being rated alongside strip clubs? The "Top Ten" seems to be anything but these days...
Got something to say?

As for Adelita, I have been there. Most of the guys there do not partake of the upstairs activities. But the format is different from many US clubs, with very little stage dancing, and mostly girls circulating, socializing, "cuddling" and trying to find ways to extract $$ (or pesos). Come to think of it, this seems to be the pattern at Northern NJ bikini joints, too.
Also going to Tampa this month, and likely will partake of the ever reliable Mons Venus. This club will always be in my top ten no matter what the TUSCL ranking.
That's an intertesting idea on financing a trip to see some of the Top 10 clubs...maybe we should have a contest and see who wins a free trip to one of them?
I guess you, as a northamericano, can sit in Adelita's for a protracted period of time without going upstairs with a puta--but you will sit there alone, after the first couple of girls to stop by your table have told their colleagues that you are not up for going to a "hroom". In fact, I would go so far as to say that the club is really two different clubs, based on the clientele. The Mexicanos do seem to go there just to hang out. In neither of my two visits to that club have I seen a Mexicano in the hallways of the hotel that services Adelita's (other than as staff, of course), or going up the stairs thereto. On the other hand, the gringos, like myself, do seem to be there for sex. There are better bars nearby if one wants to hang out and dance with local girls.
The other way that the girls at Adelita's extract money from you, besides turning tricks, is by getting you to help them fulfull their quota of overpriced drinks that they have to sell each shift (usually 20 per shift at 7$US.) So, unless you know the girls well (in a way that you only can if you go to Tijuana regularly), in any given period of time, you are going to be giving girls money in two ways--fucking them upstairs, or buying them drinks. I don't think that they are going to stay with you for any significant period of time if you aren't doing one or the other. And at the rate that some of those girls can chug, the burn rate is about the same. So, given the choice between watching the girl chug beer, or fucking her, I will choose the latter, or find a different girl.
I stand by my prior objection: given that the emphasis on guys with roughly my melanin count is to get us upstairs with a puta, I consider the place a whorehouse, not a stripclub.
Actually, not to be a smart ass, because your post does raise an interesting issue: what defines a strip club? In the local club I frequent in the St. Louis area, there are generally about 20 girls, working 8 hour shifts. They run three stages in the evening. So, over an eight hour shift, you have 160 dancer hours worked (20 dancers x 8 hours), and 24 stripping hours (3 dancers stripping hours x the number of hours in the shift). Therefore, of the total time that all the dancers spend in the club, 24/160, or approximately 14% of all dancer time in the club is spent stripping.
When I have been to Adelita's, there have been about 60 girls in the club, and they also work 8 hour shifts, for a total of 240 dancer hours. I have never seen more than oe girl dance at a time, and never for more than about a third of the time I was there (About three hours each time). Let's assume that my experience is wildly unrepresentative, and a single girl is dancing for half of a shift. In that case, total dancing time per shift would be 1(dancer actually stripping) x 4 (hours per shift when someone is taking her clothes off), for a total ratio of stripping time per shift of 4/240, or approximately 0.18%.
Now, I obviously believe that a club where 14% of total dancer time is spent with girls taking their clothes off (or being essentially naked) IS a strip club, and a club in which only 0.18% of total dancer time is so occupied IS NOT a strip club. However, I don't know where you draw the lines inside that range. Like Justice Potter Stewart said of pornography, I can't define what makes a strip club--but I know it when I see it.
By the way, if Adelita's were truly a strip club, where the most of the girls were unclothed most of the time, it would make a BIG difference as to who I would take upstairs. As we know from our experiences with civilians, clothes can cover a lot. In particular, Mexican gynecologists use c-section techniques apparently not seen since the time of... well, Caesar.
But back to Northern NJ bikini clubs, where the girls only flash their boobs, but the mileage can be astronomical. What are these? And what about some clubs in rural Quebec, where there is some naked dancing on stage, some socializing with guys who are melanin challenged, but the dance booths are primarily for extras?
A mixture, a melange, a fine kettle of fish. I must read more reviews and learn.
"the trouble with statistics is they can be swayed any way to sell your point."
Thank goodness that twenty-one years of trying jury cases hasn't been wasted!!!!
I dunno...did you win all those cases? ;) You're insane BTW FONDL.
For one of them, my client had an emergency, and had to leave the Courthouse right after the jury went out to deliberate. When the verdict came in, I called him with the message, "Justice has prevailed." Mr. Client then sent back the following text message: "Appeal immediately."
