It takes a group of successful people to have enough discretionary income to make goinging to strip clubs a favorite hobby of theirs.

Note: If you didn't get my last comment, I can't just tip them a dollar a the new club the dancers are working at (topless) and see their pussy like I used to be able to.

They left the nude club so that was a drawback at first. Well I think one still works both places. I didn't buy any dances from them for awhile at the new place but one of them has become one of my favorites. They all have good looking pussies so I learned that I need to be careful how much information I tell a dancer.

The dancers in that case actually left over a year or two ago when there were more customers in the nude club then there are now. I learned my lesson about telling dancers too much information. They were some of the prettier nude dancers and they found out they could make a lot more money where they could negotiate a lower lap dance price in a topless club. I may have told one that I was buying lap dances at a lower price than what they were charging at the nude club and that was why I never bought dances at that club. Well one reason.

I would say that I don't usually negotiate. The dancers are the ones doing that. Dancers are the ones seeking dances. I'm sitting quietly in a chair and get approached. She may ask to join me first, she may immediately ask "do you want a dance?" For most dancers I say no thanks, or not right now, maybe later, and then she leaves. A few will say but I'll do two for $30. I typically still say no thanks. Every once in a while a dancer says, I'll do two for $20. I did take up the offer on that one last time but I didn't think it was worth it. Well it was ok but not as great as I hoped.
One dancer whom I tipped on stage several times but never had received a dance from asked me recently. She asked "you want a dance?" I asked her, do you two for $30? She said for you, I will. My favorites, they stick to the same prices. Sometimes a few out of town visiting dancers have asked as much as two for $40 or two for $50 but that was a long time ago. I have so many favorites I just say no to every dancer who isn't now, almost everyone. Sometimes I don't get dances from some of my favorites, actually a lot of the time now. If the dancers and club agreed that all dances were going to cost $30 each. I would stop getting all dances and probably stop stage tipping for the most part as well. Then the crowd and myself would leave and the club would likely not make hardly any money. Case in point is one club in the area where I almost never buy lap dances and they still stick to two for $40 lap dances, a special done once an hour. I was told one night I was the only one tipping any of the dancers (on stage) and the club was almost empty even though it was after 10 PM on Saturday night. At least 4 dancers left that club to work at Platinum Plus.

I might question how many people attend strip clubs in Detroit and how many people voted for city council members? If a lot more people attended strip clubs, it seems like they could vote out of office all those opposed and pretty much run the city. They could probably pick up a number of male voters as well and have a more balanced city council. They just need to get active and pick people to run and take over the city away from all the social workers. If you ignore politics, it comes back to bite you unless there are enough sensible people voting.

To me it sounds like the citizens of Texas looking for places to cut the budget need to start looking at what departments seem to have extra time and possibly manpower or funds. The police raiding clubs right now? Seems like a good place to cut funds in my opinion. We need to help point out areas to state legislators where they can cut their budgets if they can't see the obvious. I seriously doubt that many serious crimes are being committed in strip clubs. I guess a few less people are clearly seeing nipples but I don't recall a nipple ever hurting anyone. Some people actually go to strip clubs to look at nipples and tits.

I could probably talk to the manager at one club and talk him into offering lap dances at two for $30 in my opinion (where prices are more set in stone) but I already spend enough money so I'm not looking for spending any more. The lower the dance prices are, the more I seem to spend. hmmm, maybe I should mention the club in case the manager of the chain actually reads this. The club chain is The Penthouse Club. They offer two for ones at $40 and offer a DVD, tshirt, golf towel or some token along with the dance. In my local area many people aren't interested in paying the higher dance prices. I don't care for the token gifts. Lap dances are nude and I believe one way contact only plus you have to pay extra to put money in a juke box. That should be free in my opinion. It used to be a busy crowded club when nude dances were two for $30 without the token gifts. Now it is not so crowded. Dancers don't make as much money so the better ones go to other clubs. The crowd follows to the other clubs. Then the club isn't making as much either yet they stick to their prices as if they are set in stone even with the current economy.

I like it when a dancer can lower the price she charges. I don't think it requires much negotiation to say no thanks. A few minutes later or even possibly a second later she comes back with another lower offer. If dances were only $5 or $10 or something like that, I wouldn't mind if it was pretty much set in stone. I believe one time one dancer at Platinum Plus Columbia offered to do half off the regular half off price. I think that was only $5 per lap dance. She must have been dancing for me for over 30 to 45 minutes. I enjoyed that even though she wasn't willing to do that the next time I saw her. That was some time ago when most dancers were only asking two for $20.

If you live in the area, like I do, the negotiated price becomes the standard price for all the girls you are familar with. New girls often will match that price or even beat it if they are more desperate. I once negotiated a price with a pizza place to match a competitors price coupon and had them deliver it too when they said they didn't typically deliver. Even my relatives offer prices in stores where many people think you have to pay the price you see. Many prices are negotiable everywhere regardless if someone thinks you have to pay the price you see on the sticker. I doubt Walmart would negotiate unless you're talking to a manager. However I think it's worth it and go to one club where prices are set in stone but have only bought a lap dance there about 2 times in several years. I actually got two lap dances at The Masters at two for $25. A dancer I didn't know offered that to me. Typically they charge $25 or more per dance. To each their own. I didn't pay sticker price for my car either even though it was one of the more popular cars at the time.

It is fortunate to have lots of talent to choose from rather than have no one that interests me.

I guess for me the limiting factor is how much money I want to spend when lots of favorites show up in the same night. It is more fun to spend money and enjoy it rather than wish there was someone good enough to spend it on. I don't feel obligated to spend money on favorites but some of them when you see them, you just seem to want to. Especially when you know their dances will be good and not that expensive per dance. I occasionally get $10 lap dances and some free songs thrown in. Would you be willing to pay $15 or $10 per dance to get multiple dances from someone like Book Guy's icon? Then I had another hot girl offering the same price two for $30 so I got dances from her too. I believe she often charged more but she said for me she would do that. I believe I tipped her on stage many times without us ever getting dances, neither of us ever asked each other. I'm planning on cutting back next time though. I'd really be in trouble if I bought lap dances at the other clubs I visit besides Platinum Plus clubs. Then whenever I go to the beach on vacation maybe once a year, the dancers there wonder why I can easily say no thanks to all their dance offers.

I prefer dark shorts and a dark t-shirt. However at least one club in my area has some dress code requiring a collar shirt so I dress for it when I plan to visit. I once wore a black t-shirt and dark clothes thinking I was going to blend into the background and not be too noticed. Didn't stop me from getting noticed but I was more comfortable. I did avoid getting noticed one time in a dark club when I didn't move much and I sat near the back, until one stripper found me and then it seemed like she informed everyone else. I prefer to wear underwear so that I don't feel like something is going to hang down my shorts.

I don't usually hear about a strippers kids but sometimes I do. One dancer actually told me about her 3 kids just a minute before she started doing a lap dance which I thought was the worst possible time. That wasn't what I wanted to think about during the lap dance. She was new to dancing and it seemed like she was looking for a new boyfriend just being recently divorced or in the process of divorce. Sometimes a few dancers seem to be doing an interview as if they are looking for a boyfriend. Some dancers just mention it while talking and ask if I have any kids.

I wouldn't worry about the feds tracking you. Unless you accidently click on one of their secret documents that accidently showed up online that says for government use only and then your computer totally freezes up. They don't track just one person, they track everyone. If you're using windows, they can even look at your pc screen. I still don't have a cell phone so I'm harder to track. Now if the Fed would just give me one of those new iphones with unlimited time and no monthly charges, I would let them track me to all the strip clubs.

I finally took the time to look at some older threads I started in the last two weeks. Then I finally got to one where I asked if you thought the recession was going to be over next year. Holy cow, that's a long discussion now. Lol, I've done that before, I start something and then walk away and it goes on and on and on. If I don't want to read something I just don't click on the thread.

Actually I did not read any marketing hype about the juice. Thanks for the links above though. I read about some Israeli studies in a group of over age 60 adults who had severe artery blockages. After 3 months of drinking the pure juice, I believe the study indicated they had about a 30 percent reduction in plaque in their arteries. The control group was even worse. After one year, the group drinking the juice had further reduction in plaque in their arteries. I can imagine until a drug is developed, some groups won't want this be too widely known except of course for those selling the juice. My thoughts were to drink this to help avoid taking medications. 1.5 oz a day is not much if you drink the pure stuff and split it up so you drink a little before breakfast and a little before supper.

I don't need to worry about medications so consult your doctor if you are concerned.

Found the thread here again.
Cost: At Walmart, they've been sold out of the pure unrefrigerated Pomegranate juice in the 32 FL OZ jar for over 2 weeks now. I believe the cost in my local Walmart was around $3.88 or so. I found a jar I still have and they have a web site. www.northlandjuices.com
I was wondering if I could buy direct since Walmart only had a very expensive pure pomegranate juice that cost like $11 for not much more in the refrigerator section.
The blended stuff such as a 64 FL OZ bottle of Northland Pomegranate Blueberry blend costs around $2.97 where I live at. I know Walmart will up the price in neighborhoods that are more affluent. I figure the blended stuff is only 1/3 pomegranate juice so I drink a bit more.
As far as mixing or causing problems with medications, the little bit my mother drinks she hasn't noticed any problems but she drinks it before she eats since I read it also can help with blood sugar levels besides lowing LDL cholesterol and removing plaque from the arteries. She has been feeling better since she started drinking it. Me too.

Stripper emails you her picture. Why?
Best answer:
She's in love with you and wants to have your babies.
Caution: Child support can be costly.

Since I haven't asked a dancer for dances in ages and they are always asking me, sitting on my lap, or talking to me first, I find it hard to imagine a dancer trying to get rid of me by doing a lousy dance. I say no thanks to dancers about 95 percent of the time unless they are someone I'm familar with and like.
That's not to say that I haven't ever had a lousy dance where the dancer is giving me an air dance with her back turned towards me looking off around the club for her next victim. In that situation, she is definitely getting rid of me because I won't be getting any dances from her as long as I remember her. I would inform others too.

I don't like pay for play either. I find it rather easy to say no to anyone who wants to do something for money. What I find disturbing is that if she doesn't say anything about money, is she suddenly going to ask later on? If I don't know anything about her, I wouldn't have found out if she wants to go out with me because she likes me and is attracted to me or if she's really just trying to pull a fast one on me and is being sneaky about all of her intentions.
I once got burned by a dancer who spent part of the evening with me. No sex involved, we were just having some fun about town. After I said goodbye, she suddenly asked for money and I found that infuriating because she didn't mention anything about money for time. I refused to pay her at first, she started arguing saying how she could have been making money dancing at the club instead and how much she could have been making, etc. etc. which was a lot more than she was asking. I still refused. She started crying. I eventually caved in. I think the only reason I caved in was because I had a lot more free cash back then.
I had no debt, no house payment, no car payment, wasn't bothering with trying to build any savings for retirement and was living with relatives so my expenses were low. I paid cash for everything. That was a long time ago.

A PP dancer who also works at The Masters on occasion I believe told me if you arrived at that club after 9 PM (working dancers that is), they had to pay a fine of $100. Another club I know of has been having really slow business, I don't see how the dancers are making much money. That's probably why a few of their former dancers are now working at PP too. I heard PP clubs charge more in tip out if the dancers don't dance on stage. Most of the lap dances I get are from dancers who don't typically dance on stage. I bet that confuses some visiting customers since they never see them on stage.
