While it may be perceived differently by various customers, I see a very fine, blurry dotted line, if any, from the ladies perspective. Although you make a good argument I must say that my original opinion holds. Af course you know what they say about opinions,...

She sounds like an exceptional individual. Unfortunately they are few and far between and either leave the game because some fortunate guy took them away from it all or they realized how much potential they really had and that this was, in the scheme of things, a relatively short term source of good money. Like a pro athelete.

Perhaps it's a function of perspective. I have, whether for good or ill, had the opportunity to see the dancers from both perspectives and have always prided myself on seeing them as just another human being and not a "stripper" and thus avoided the sterotypical view. And yes, in some ways some of them can appear nuturing and caring but, I believe that in the final analysis that is what keeps the ATM returning. I have had some good relationships with some of them over the years but when I sit back and reflect, it all comes down to the same thing. $$$$$
As to comparative cost, I think that when you add up all the cost for the club experience,drinks, cover, dances, 'tips' etc. the $200 may be cheap. And remember, in the club it is a parade of ATMs. But I do agree, many of the health care workers, particularly as you move up the food chain, are dollar whores.

That may be true but the reality is they do it so you keep coming back and they still get you money but maybe a little slower so you don't notice it as much. Still reading ATM. Don't know of any that can file Non-Profit Tax Exempt status. It's like Target and Maceys

Has to be 30 years since I was there and it was pretty much a wreck but the food was good and not expensive. Great pot roast and lots of it.

Damn jablake, are you reading the dictionary again. I can save you alot of reading, the cast of characters is great but the plot sucks. :)

Maybe I need to try DD again. For a while their coffee had that burnt taste to me. And Tim Hortons, the food was pretty decent but for some reason the coffee never excited me, not bad by any means but not great. I guess coffee is really a matter of personal taste though.

There is, however, one major disconnect with that analogy, unlike most strippers I don't think the surrogats were looking at the 'patient' and seeing ATM on their forehead.

Unfotunately I don't get much time to party like that when I'm working. There are a couple good clubs in London but I can't remember the names, have to dig out some match books. Paris is intersting. There is one entire section of town that is just one club after the other including the famous Follies. Kinda of funny, you see buses of people being brought in, part of the tour of Paris. The clubs themselves tend to be more of a stage show but all in all it's fun. Frankly, some of the small local night clubs, watering holes if you will, are even more fun. Didn't get out at all when I was there last week. Quick trip.

Since I drink very little, at least now, it never messed me up. I try to avoid women who are too drunk to fully participate so only once or twice. Whata mistake.

At one time I preferred TRUTH so you knew what you were dealing with but that's a rare commodity. I guess it depends on what you're looking for in the experience.

Don't know that I ever had Waffle House but this was pretty good. About the only thing I get from Starbucks is the White Mocha. Haven't noticed the aftertaste but that could be that I'm just use to it. LOL

Unreal, all this talk about waffle houses and coffee made me hungry so I just made fresh waffles and coffee. That's ridiculous.

That's different, I prefer my vodka in a glass. But I won't argue with the balance of your comments. Just a matter of perspective.
