In an effort to save more money for my eventual retirement, I have decided to only visit strip clubs once every three weeks. That would result in a little over sixteen strip club visits per year. There are four strip clubs in my city I consider worth visiting so if I decided to visit each club an equal number of times that would be around four visits per year for each strip club. I could not really have regulars, though, doing this because no stripper would consider me a regular if I only visited her four times a year. For you personally, in such a situation would you limit yourself to one or two strip clubs so you can try to have a regular even if that means mostly skipping visiting other strip clubs you like. Why would you pick what you decided on?
What to cut back on when reducing strip club spending

Drink less? When I was younger, and making a lot less money, I used to think about all the money I spent on strip clubs and wish I had it back. I would drink a lot more at clubs then. I thought about going to a club almost everyday and would actually go maybe 2 or 3 times a month. I had a daily compulsion to drink and molest hot dancers in high heels and g-stings. Now I don’t drink much if anything at the clubs and I go far less frequently. It’s been part of the aging process for me. I don’t know if that’s good or bad.
You’re a 5-9 hour round trip from the Chicago, St Louis, or Detroit area. Could you make it a day trip type of thing where you pick 1 or 2 other small enjoyable activities on the way to or back from the clubs in those areas?
It sounds like you might consider not being a regular a trade off. So you could choose clubs that are further away and more novel for you.
Or if you do want to stay in your local area, then you could also pick what 32 weeks of the year would be the most worth it to you, go biweekly, then hibernate the rest of the time.
Not getting drinks would save money but this post seems more about whether to go to 4 clubs 4x or 2 clubs 8x. The obvious answer is to go to the best clubs more often
I have two comments on this thread.
- Don’t worry so much about being a regular. One thing that’s blown my mind over the years is how (since I travel frequently) that I walk into a club, it’s been a year since I’ve been there, and a dancer will come up to me and remember my name, things about me like I’m a regular, even though I’ve only spent time with her maybe 2-3 times over the past 2-3 years. Another viewpoint of being a regular is it can be a negative. Often times a dancer will latch onto the moment you walk through the door which often doesn’t allow an opportunity to talk to other women.
Skibum said: “ wondering why I piss away money on something that went from pure bliss to passing time since the pandemic.” - I find this so true, for a number of things, not just spending money or strip clubs, but ever since the entire world stopped momentarily at the same time, although a relatively short period of time, how so many things changed. My views on a lot of things, relationships, routines, so much has changed. I often wonder where I would be today if the pandemic never happened. For me two things are I’d probably be divorced and in a different job, two things I’m glad did not happen.
I would cut out drinking entirely. Is that something you really need to do? Sometimes they force you to buy something but I have them make me do that.
Also just being picky and knowing when to fold/walk away. Live to fight another day. If I'm not head over heels for something I'm not doing it.
STUD - Its good. I have cut down to 2-3 beers from 8-10.
^ yes 2 beers is about my limit now. Although I admit on very rare occasions I’ll get high and then drink 4 or 5 beers. I feel it in my head the next day.
I like a change of scenery and solo driving provides me peace of mind. Sometimes it's a long trip, with a destination. Other times it's a dining spot or a strip club. I think for many in the hobby, the usual stops need to be diverted!
Doc: These days I don't wish to be remembered on a club visit, but alas in my usual spots that doesn't happen
I rarely drink anything alcoholic these days for several reasons, mainly cost plus driving. Also I've done stuff after several drinks that were less than wise. I've recently been on a bit of a hiatus over the last several months and I'm amazed at how much more cash I have on hand. When I tally it up I was spending $300-$600 every couple weeks so the obvious answer to saving money is cutting back on club visits which I am doing,
You’ve should have invested in Nvidia 10 years ago @docsavage
At your age, where did all that money go? You should have a shit ton at this point in life!
@docsavage^
If you saved 10k a year starting at age 30, you’d have $300,000 at age 60. That’s just with savings, not even investing where you can earn a sizable return!
Given the rising costs (of everything) and the lower quality (again, of everything), I'm trying to save strip club visits for things like my birthday (hey, I'm tired of seeing just my birthday suit! I want to see some quality ones -- when there are any) and distant out-of-state vacations where there might -- emphasis on "might" -- be some sort of novelty.
@docsavage I'd be happy to see if I can throw out any additional ideas for you, on top of the responses you've already received, but I might need a little more info to try to be of much additional help...
- In general (nothing too explicit...lol), what experience do you look for when you visit a club?
- How much have you been spending up to this point?
- How much would you like to spend going forward?
Using myself as an example, I tend to go to clubs hoping to buy a larger quantity of dances with the right lady, if I can even find her these days. I'm not an extras guy myself, and a party atmosphere doesn't do much for me. I get bored sitting at a stage throwing money, and I get bored with girls who can't have a decent conversation. Oh, and I'm fairly picky about finding someone who's just my type as well. But...once in a while, I meet the right fun, talkative cutie who's perfect for me, and when that happens, that's when I usually want to spend some serious cash...
So...if I were trying to cut back on my club expenditures, I could certainly come up with a plan that might work for me, but that plan wouldn't necessarily be all that great for someone else! 😀
I am facing the same conundrum. Recently, every visit, no matter how scintillating, ends up with me driving home wondering why I piss away money on something that went from pure bliss to passing time since the pandemic. Sadly I have no self - control so I am thinking one club once or twice a year.
