Going to strip clubs 'alone' . .

Is there really anything dangerous about this? Reading on zbones site in his faq there is a mention of muggings happening in the bathrooms and to not go alone.
So do many of you guys go alone, and if so, is there any real danger in this?

You might also want to consider what type of club it is and what kind of neighbor it is around. Is it a neighbor jack joint? or is it an upscale club? I have been to both and never felt nervous.
If you look like a target, you will be. It also helps to cruise the parking lot, and of course, to avoid neighborhoods where there's a Police Helicopter circling overhead, a SWAT truck on the corner, and reporters in flak jackets.
And I'm a girl.
A TOUGH girl. ;)
No more. It is a rare event now, if I go alone. I always have fun with the TUSCLers that I have met. I introduce them to dancers that I know and they introduce me to dancers that they know. In between we can BS about them.
Tomorrow I head for a 3 day/2 night trip to my favorite club. I got a call this afternoon from one of my favorite dancers. Another TUSCLer was asking her about me. I will meet him tomorrow and rob0411 is going to meet up with me on Wednesday. I look fore ward to it.
I have certainly witnessed a lot more fights in "straight" bars than in strip clubs, and I have never felt in personal danger, although I have gone to clubs in some sketchy places.
I only see groups late on weeknights and on weekends.
I wouldn't go alone if I felt unsafe, when you are with someone else, it becomes more of a social visit. I prefer to get off, blow my wad (or else just my cash) and leave. I usually don't have the luxury of time on my side to spend hours in the club.
When you said, "Most "shady" clubs have metal detecting wands or pat you down on the way in, which discourages guns and knifes.", made me wonder how many here DO carry a knife or gun. I've never even been subjected to a pat down or a wand. I have been to a few, what I would consider "shady" clubs.
The biggest thing you have to worry about at a strip club is a hot babe seducing all your money away.
Philly is the only place I can recall with this practice. Been to clubs in shadier neighborhoods in other states and no metal detectors, etc.
sit with your back to the wall, and be observant and confident.
Snowtime, I bet the fight you saw at Mons Venus was when it was packed. I went there twice. the first time it was nice, the second time you couldn't find a chair or even a place to stand barely. I didnt' get a good vibe because there were to many young dudes there drinking way to much bumping into eachother. I left
Several times early on in my clubbing years, I was leaving with a dancer and going to other places with her after she got off from work. I did that with a couple of other dancers too. I didn't have any guys to stop me.
The one thing I sometimes get tired of is if you're sitting down at a table alone in a club, sometimes you seem to be a dancer magnet and it's difficult just to sit and watch the dancers on stage. That's not always bad but sometimes I wish I had company to deflect some of the dancers coming at me.
Never give out personal information about where you live or the kind of car you drive. Stripper boyfriends use this information for a hit. A well lit upscale club is usually a safe bet for solo visit.
...except for one time--I was robbed at gun point. My fault, I shouldn't have been where I was at that hour and been so careless about parking in the back instead of the front. Live and learn. It's not so much being alone as it is being smart about it.
Agree with SuperDude. Dancers and customers are always watching for guys who pull out big rolls or count a fistful of cash. Go to the Men's room.
Was alone not the usual way to attend?
I agree. I've most always gone alone. I'm seen people in clubs that I know. A couple of us used to visit clubs after work sometimes, and done a couple "spur of the moment" visits with others. But again, like you, I thought alone was the norm.
I especially like it when I encounter one of the hypocrites alone. Me: alone and comfortable being there and comfortable with him knowing that I'm there. Him: alone and uncomfortable being there and even MORE uncomfortable with me knowing that he's there. Result: I have the advantage. :)
