I get easily distracted by the visuals, so I'm the guy thinking "what's that?" right after clicking a link. The last year has kinda been like groundhog day to me, but that's a good reminder that there's fresh content to check out.

"I'm here to browse the "What's New" file."
Not surprised.

"Is that about right?"
No, but your question isn't really about extras anyway. Funny there's two Baltimore threads in a week. The clubs mentioned in this thread will probably be fine based on what you're asking for...https://tuscl.net/discussion.php?id=76094

SebValTraveler, boobie enthusiast.
The ratings are all based off 18 months now so they're all skewed (thanks COVID). Your best bet is to PM people who might have the info you're looking for.

"It's not a COVID precaution if close contact is allowed in one part of the club but not another, obviously."
Setting a club policy due to COVID and setting a policy to prevent COVID are two different things. We're having last year's conversations all over again halfway through 2021, but if they're interesting the more the merrier.
Welcome back, everybody! lol

The easiest way to answer this is to think about the times when you've made a decision to take an action counter to expectations others have and social norms. "Asians" have social expectations, too, except for they may be different than yours. People are going to act according to their own inclinations, limited by their tolerance for risk. Case in point, bunches and bunches of strip club hounds that use TUSCL.

gammanu95My casual drinking is your alcohol poisoning.
I stopped going to Capital Cabaret in Raleigh, NC when they started scanning and taking photographs because their process was sloppy. If it was a one and done real (used to travel all the time) then I usually just went with it. If I'm in home territory I'd have to think it over if they scanned every time.

"Due to the lawsuit, Nomi lost her job but ultimately, Wallace dropped his lawsuit against her, claiming he had a change of heart."
What's the read on this? Did he get a parting gift that extracted some liquid gold from the family vault, or convinced by her "friends and family" to drop the suit?

Others said it. Some girls are all show and some do. If it's just for fun and you're getting what you want out of it then great. If she's trying to string you along for more dances so she can "get off", then maybe you start doing the ROI in your head.

"If you have to take the initiative to grab a "lazy" but hot one, the dance will probably suck."
Agree in principle. But that's why we club, right? I approached a dancer on her phone the other day who was on and off it until the drink arrived. She was the only girl on the floor I was interested in, so it was either spend on her or leave. The delay on the drink is what saved her from getting a quick hook. It was a slow shift and she didn't want to be there. Then at some point she put the phone away and a couple of hours later it was the most fun I've had at a club in a while.

I've gotten bottles if they were thrown in with something else I was already paying for. Haven't gotten a bottle just have one. Don't need the attention and prefer not to have a crowd at the table.

The VIP only dancers aren't new. The fix for that is a "are you sure?" and a nice to meet you. If they haven't hit their numbers, they'll come back after they've seen you spend on other girls. And they have no incentive to give a lousy dance on the floor so you'll get a decent preview.

"Once they have all of your cash upfront, their incentive to bend to your whims is gone"
It's usually the other way around from what I've seen. The VIPs have already shown they'll spend if inclined. Managers don't have to sort out if it's worth a little extra effort for potential gain, so it's easier to get to yes.

There were substantial differences in the Florida reopen vs other parts of the US. There's a year's worth of TUSCL posts that go into all that.
It would stand to reason that parts of the US that are just reopening now would be going through a similar process to what places like Texas were doing last year. The club services were re-introduced in phases.

Austin, TX has one or two clubs that cater primarily to latinos. But bunches of other clubs in South and Central Texas have a large contingent of dancers who speak almost exclusively in Spanish. A phone translator and money is enough to get by. Other customers are what you need to pay attention to if you're not looking like the crowd. The only time I've really kept track of who was paying attention to me is the couple of times I ended up in biker bars that also happened to have strippers. And then there was the time I thought Russian gangsters might disappear me at a club, but it was a misunderstanding that a local cabbie smoothed over.

"Did they offer any extensions on to it membership due to COVID closures?"
Can't speak for the OP, but since I wasn't really traveling last year and was seeing the same clubs over and over I looked into a few memberships. To keep it simple, in my area the trend is about half the usual cost for what's looking like twice the time if bought around pandemic peak. Math like that works out pretty well.
No disrespect to anyone, but customers who spent most or all of last year on the bench aren't really grasping what the SC scene was like when any amount of dollars was getting attention ITC.
"I could only see this happening in bug strip club cities like Dallas, Vegas, Phoneix, Tampa, Miami, etc."
It's not the size of the city per se it's the size of the club/revenue and the types of customers it serves. Most of the people at the membership tier can pay the VIP cost per visit, but would rather put more of the cash toward the dancers. More fun for everyone that way.

"seems to me a membership is just another scam TBH"
As with everything in the hobby, it depends on the club and the management. If I was in a place like DFW (where samiel does his rounds based on his reviews and tagline) I'd look at memberships given the lackluster reputation of the scene for tuscl-approved mileage ITC.
Plus clubs have been pretty shaky for over a year now, and some towns are just getting rolling again. A couple of clubs local to me were taxing the hell out of VIP room access in 2020 because having up close and personal dances could get the whole place shut down if the wrong people saw them. If you wanted private dances ITC, it was VIP or nothing.
Then there was another year pre-pandemic where I was stuck for months in a town notorious for low mileage. The casuals weren't wrong in their reviews, but there's levels to the hobby and memberships were a way to power up once the girls were ok with more fun.

If you go often enough it's worth it if the perks cover the cost of the membership plus get you better access to better girls and better seating. In 2020 with the pandemic rules nothing was really happening on the main floor in the clubs I went to, so it was a good time to buy if the clubs were open.

Been to a couple of TX clubs this week that seemed like business was ok, but have yet to see a night shift since the new rules took effect. Am thinking it will have a bigger impact on later shifts.

I'm noticing this thread is on a club board. Is the OP looking for info on a specific club or general thoughts?

Old thread? Interesting threads are timeless. I'd rather see a 10 year old thread that's interesting than the same tired topic being recycled every few months by people who can't use a search engine.
Most aggressive type of dancer? Brand new dancers being mentored by successful experienced dancers. Too many tricks of the trade on display with no nuance and no concept of whether they're being effective or not.
