Seeing a sentiment often expressed on this board is that the state of strip clubs fell into a state of decline, often talk of how things went down hill after Covid, talk of how the quality of dancers declined.

Prior to two years ago, I had only been into a strip club twice, and that was decades ago.

2024 was a turning point for me, in which I started doing this "hobby" on a regular and then semi-regular basis.

For those who are of the belief that the strip club industry is in a state of decline...

What are some of the whys and key contributing factors?

Well…for one thing, my best bud the dugan…my brother from a hairless ape mother…has had responsibilities that have taken him away from clubbing.

This has meant that the only ricks regularly clubbing have been yours truly, the vulture, the cheese stick, and the coconut crab.

Do you think so few ricks can inject sufficient rickness into the nationwide club scene. Alas, it is challenging.

Maybe if some of the gimboids of the world (and y’all know who they are) stopped clubbing the relative amount of rickness would be sufficient to rejuvenate the club scene, but the chance of that are slim to none. Gimboids gonna gimboid after all.

ROAR!!!

Ugh. The only topic more well trodden than the pants discussion.

Let me see... first people will start with some reactionary garbage about how Gen Z doesn't drink or go out anymore. (This is false. I live in a college town and the bars are full of em). Then, of course, the obligatory tirade about "back in my day, men were actually men!!!!"

Next there's the shifting of sex work from stripping to OnlyFans. (This one actually has some truth to it. But post-COVID I feel it's primarily affected the amount of white dancers. OF's userbase is majority white so the newly immigrated influx of Cuban dancers can't really take advantage of it)

Lastly, gentrification. Clubs in the "seedy" parts of town are suddenly finding themselves surrounded by luxury condos and overpriced restaurants. These residents don't want to see adults only clubs in their area. Club owners get offered increasing amounts of cash until they finally give in. Atlanta right now is a prime example of this.

Clubs declining? No doubt about it. BTW what pants should I wear when visiting a depressing declining strip club?
