What do you consider the best learning experiences in your life, either outside your strip club hobby, inside it, or both? For me, my most important one was realizing my romantic relationship in my thirties was negatively impacting my health. I was adopting her poor eating and exercise habits and was under stress from it being the type of toxic relationship involving insults, disrespect and a desire for quarrels on her part. I learned you need to immediately walk away from something like this.
When it comes to strip clubs, I realized eventually it was turning into a obsession. The high cost was keeping me from saving for my retirement. The time spent inside strip clubs was keeping me from exercising enough, fixing healthy meals and having real relationships with people instead of the fake friendships with strippers based on their desire to extract money from me. I still have a strip club hobby but only visit them about a fourth as often as previously.

One helpful learning experience in my life came from when I was really into tournament poker in the 2010s. It helped me learn how to read people and, even though I no longer find playing poker appealing anymore, that knowledge stayed with me.
In general, people who had great hands would feign weakness and tend to act nervous and quiet. Meanwhile, people who were bluffing would act outlandish and loud, overconfident, etc. (Note this doesn't extend to the better, more seasoned players who learn to curtail this). But what that realization helped with was reading people in general life situations too. When people act shifty or dodgy now, I've gotten better at sniffing out what they may be hiding. And when people act over-the-top in their behavior, I've come to understand there's often a vulnerability or something they're misrepresenting.
Those realizations stayed with me years after I stopped playing regularly.

I learned that if you ignore 100% of everything bad, that eventually 85% of bad things will work out in your favor and you will be more successful than if you address every issue as if it mattered.
Fake till you make when it comes to being happy. I’ve got a part of me that’s prone to mild depression but I’m self-aware about it (most of the time) and when I feel it I try to compensate for it by projecting a positive attitude. I try to have my gratitude outweighed my expectations.

Look, if you want to suck my dick, just say that.
The last five years has taught me a lot about cognitive dissonance.
The last couple of years has taught me a lot about the dysfunctions of any kind of philosophy of “negative reinforcement of any kind for children is bad” For parents, that is “gentle parenting”, and for schools that is PBIS.
Cheesy question
My best learning experience is when I realized I needed to get Money! So I can fuck all of these bitches!
Just always getting out of your comfort zone forces you to learn new stuff. I try to do it as much as I can.

While I may like T and A, and really like pussy, I liked not getting robbed a lot more. I especially like avoiding armed robbery.
