There are escort review sites that have been around for a long time. The Erotic Review has been around since the turn of the century and was, mostly, a reliable tool to use. They shut down in the US for several years following the Me Too movement and the closing of sites like Backpage the Adult section of Craigslist.
As with anything, if you can see it, so can LE. In San Diego, the police were getting on TER and posting fake ads as well as posting on the local discussion board to promote these fake ads. He called himself "visitorsfriend". As with anything that isn't quite legal, you have to think with the big head not the little head.

I may have seen that dude at some point in my trips there. The one thing I always noticed at this club is that they had a lot of weird regulars that hung out at the back bar. I've always thought they had nice talent in the dancers but a lot of weird dancer groupies as customers.

I consider gun ownership as both a privilege and a responsibility. All the responsible gun owners I have spoken to here, and in person emphasize safety first. If they didn't, I wouldn't take their advice. I've never owned a gun in the past because I didn't feel the need was greater than the responsibility until now.

It's funny, in the past few weeks when I have discussed things with friends and family, a lot of people, maybe 10 or so now, that never felt a need to own a gun have recently purchased one or plan too. I never talked guns with any of them before so it was interesting to hear their thoughts too.

Yes, I was told that too. I think, in the home a shotgun is less likely to penetrate walls over a distance so I don't shoot a neighbor by accident. I think I can only buy one gun every 30 days so I can get one of each eventually.

Thanks for the advice. I was going to look into a real class as well as a local gun range to practice in. I was thinking the local gun shop can steer me in the right direction. If not, I can look on my own.

I wrote in a previous thread that I've never thought about owning a gun but will get one soon. I live on a dead-end street that is very isolated but the stuff going on is making me plan for the worse.
I live in California so I have to pass a test before I can even buy a gun. I took some practice tests and passed 9 out of 10 of them without reading the book of knowing a lot about guns. it's not rocket science to pass the test. Been researching and asking opinions of friends that are gun owners. Will move out of the exploritory phase soon and make the jump.

Funny! That's the real Huggy in another lifetime. Not that fake Huggy Snoop Dog. I'm sure he can hook me up but have to watch out for Starsky and Hutch.

Going to work in Vegas this week. I'll look for Huggy Bear in his purple Cadillac and mink coat and ask him for recommendations.

@BabyDoc. This club really is a shadow of it's former self. I'm not sure what the hiring standards are now but, almost every time I have been there in the last couple of years, I am approached by a 40ish milf-type Latina with very large breasts for drinks and dances. I usually just settle for the drink part and listen to her ramble on about her uncontrollable teenage kids.
This is still the only club where I saw 2 different dancers walk across the stage on her shoulders while her head was tucked forward and to the side. One time, I was with my boss and he just looked at the girl with his jaws wide open. I saw this and went up to her little stage and gave her enough to take care of my boss for a couple of dances. He came back about a half hour later wearing a big grin.

I'm with @doctor. I've been to this club dozens of times and it isn't in a bad area at all. Right on Colorado Boulevard in Denver, although it's in a tiny suburb call Glendale.
Usually go during happy hour before heading off to dinner when I'm working there. Great restaurant near there reviewed on Diner Drive-ins and Dives called Sam's #3. The last time I was there, Glendale police were stationed outside and I, occasionally, saw them in the club at night.
Guess it shows this stuff can happen anywhere and always be aware.

The risk reward calculation is a personal thing. Myself, I got to go to a club 3 times before things started closing down again.
In my favorite club, I had a better time than pre-covid because we all missed each other. In a club I hadn't been into in a while, that I reviewed, it really sucked.
I think the decision is all based on your current situation and what girls you may have know pre-covid.

@Tera. Berkeley is just the bayside/college town community of Oakland proper. I'm sure the criminal types from Oakland will understand that Berkeley is peaceful and stop at the city limits of Oakland.

I've had a job that takes me into ICU's on a regular basis for over 20 years. The ICU in a hospital and the trauma ER situations are a hospital's bread and butter. It is rare that I see more than 1 or 2 empty ICU beds in normal times at any given hospital. While they may be empty, they were just emptied and getting ready for the next "victim".
Hospitals are just like any business. They don't make money by being empty. Truth is, the hospitals were less busy during Covid only times than I had ever seen them. Now they are not under that limitation almost everywhere so they are reaching capacity like they normally would. The press just loves to make everything sound worse than it is in actuality.

On another thread there was a subject about how dancers were better "back in the day". I responded that basically that a lot of that was in the eye of that particular person. For myself, I was a little more timid at first and thought of the dancers as untouchable.
Now that I've matured and had more experience, I found that dancers are just girls but know how to play a certain portion of the men that come into clubs. This portion is pretty large since the majority of guys that go into clubs don't do it quite as much as the guys on this board.
Every girl and every bar is different. It takes some practice to get what you want from each situation. Like was said before, sometimes it just doesn't happen. In that case, you don't have to settle but can leave with the money you intended to spend that night left over for an extra exciting trip the next time out.

She's not ugly at all but doesn't do much for me. I'd say 6.

Berkeley California is going to make traffic stops with municipal workers. I can see it now with a criminal ignoring the city worker. The worker gets on his vehicle's intercom and says "If you please pull over, I'll give you a block of government cheese".

Now you just need to make a poster like Governor Cuomo!
I hate that the Press makes everything political. This is a health matter and health decisions are personal.

I've been tipping better recently. If it's someone I know, I've tipped as much as 100% the first time I saw them back at work. I tipped every dancer $10 on stage the first time I was back in a club as well. After a while, I still tipped at least 25%.
I've been tapering off a bit of late because I am out almost daily now. I always tip well anyway so I am getting back to normal as time goes on. I'll probably tip every dancer the next time I get to go to my favorite club because they got shutdown again.

@623. I can't be for a political party that wants to tax me to give my money to people who make a limited contribution to society. The Dems have always been the party of free stuff to win votes. Well, somebody has to pay. I can't be generous to strippers if all my money is going to a guy who lives in his parent's basement playing video games and going out to an occasional protest so he can score some weed.
The current "Me Too" movement was started by female Democrat supporters that used to be hot and used it to win influence with their looks. Nothing wrong with that since that has been going on between men and women since the beginning of time. Now that some of these women have become Birkenstock wearing moms with hairy legs and armpits, they want their share of reparations. Some of those guys were true predators but it would have been more consistent if the women reported all this before they made all their money with their looks.
Republicans have to pander to the conservative part of their base to get them out to vote. That doesn't mean that they don't do bad shit if they don't get caught as Garfield pointed out.

I have more fun in strip clubs now, in my 50's, than I've ever had in my life. Probably because I have a lot more disposable income than I had earlier in my life.
Granted, when I was younger, I probably had more fantasies about strippers because I didn't have the game or money to obtain one outside of the club.
Now that I can obtain them, they don't have the same mystique. That is not necessarily a bad thing. It just is what it is.

Playboy did transgender already. That is when I knew I was going to cancel my subscription. They also stopped printing the magazine and only published a few times a year instead of monthly. Once Hef passed away, his "woke" children killed the magazine. I think the next step for Playboy is bankruptcy.
