About two weeks ago, I encountered a dancer who demanded $50 extra after I came, on top of $50 worth of dances. This was the first time an dancer has asked for extra money for LDK'ing and it means I won't be a repeat customer. I gave her $20 extra and she accepted it and moved on. I think most strippers expect it or are least okay with it if they give you more than 3 high mileage dances.

I have a spreadsheet with SC expenses as well. The total is about $14,000 since 2010 and spread out fairly evenly. No, as long as I keep making good money, I won't take that trade.

I was actually in Portland for a bachelor weekend recently and we hit up 2 places, both well-reviewed here and both well-known for their food. Acropolis has good steak and a buffet. Girls are nice but not the best place for lap dances. The much more fun place was Casa Diablo, on the northwest side of town. There were a lot of girls and I don't recall seeing any I would rate below 6. The waitresses looked good, too, and were topless. Lap dances are on the expensive side ($40/1, $100/3) but you'll get good two-way contact with all of them.

It is refreshing to see the girls not be protective or too competitive. I had a similar experience today and there's a good chance it's the same dancer SC referred to. After 4 songs with us both clearly enjoying it, I decided to stop so I could save some for another specific dancer. She said "I would want to save some for her too." After chatting for another 5-10 minutes she went to the other girl (who was doing a lap dance) and said "it's your turn to go dance for [insert my real name]."

I first went to a strip club when I was 19 but didn't really go back until I was 24, just 4 years ago, and had just gotten out of a long relationship. I quickly began dating one of the strippers, that lasted a couple of months, and probably 3 years ago I started going to a club about once every 2 weeks. I travel a lot for work so I see this slowing down a bit if/when I have a family but SCs have been good to me. I'm glad I go semi-regularly and started at an appropriate time, given my career and personal situations.

I don't care for pole tricks or booty shaking or other such things. Nowadays, stage dances exist so that guys will always have something to look at and tipping during stage dances is merely a way of expressing interest in further contact. Whether I tiop or not is based solely on looks and letting a dancer know that I'm there.

I've toyed with the idea of renting an apartment at the cheap apartment complex next to Follies in Atlanta. I live about 2 hours away and frequently go to the same general area of Atlanta for other things so I could use it most weekends. Hotels (places like Days Inn at $50/night) are still a good bit cheaper and I usually don't mind driving back and forth on the weekends.

Happy Birthday! Pretty sure I saw you at Follies today but felt a little weird about approaching

I think it is mostly due to the clientele.At night, the crowds are bigger and drunker and therefore will spend money more freely, so the girls don't have to do as much to make the same amount of money. Daytime strip clubbers include more old men and businessmen, who have more money to spend and also are better negotiators than the young guys and bachelor parties and working class people who are more likely to come in sporadically at night. The fact that might time strippers are more likely to have day jobs and view themselves as above doing extras as are less desperate for money is probably a big part of the reason more mileage is available during the day at most clubs.

I seem to be in the minority here but I actually kind of like $5 valet parking. especially in really crowded areas where parking can otherwise be difficult to find or overcrowded. I trust the valets to not damage it more than I trust random other people to not bump my car. My top pet peeve is shot girls. Of course my favorite club does not have shot girls and generally in the daytime and early evening, other clubs rarely have those annoying creatures.

I check out most of the threads but most of them aren't very interesting and the ones that are usually already have comments that reflect what I would say.

A dancer I know has an 8 year old girl and she no longer tries to hide her work from her. She used to claim to be a waitress. Definitely more strippers have kids than don't. It's the single moms that are in the most need for money.

seems like a good consensus has been reached. My list would include Tampa and Cocoa Beach, then Toronto and Detroit. I've visited 1 club in each of those cities (far from the most highly-reviewed) and enjoyed it very much but would like to go back and visit several of the other clubs. Follies (Atlanta) and Platinum Plus (Columbia) are still two of my favorites even though they haven't been as good lately, but they are close enough for a day trip.

In my experience, the part time strippers are generally more fun. They can usually carry on a more substantial conversation and feel more dateable. Yes, there are some that are just there to hustle all day and not spend any time getting to know people but most I think are more interest hanging out with the clientele because they are doing it for the fun or thrill of it rather than out of dire need. Part timers are probably less extras friendly, though.

I think a pool table or two can add a lot to a strip club, especially in uncrowded and low mileage clubs. The one in Byron GA that is frequented by truck drivers has pool tables and dancers will play naked pool for $10. A lot of times I enjoy just hanging out with the girls at a pool table rather than getting dances. On the other hand, until they expand, the pool table at Follies has to go. It is simply too crowded with it in there.

Didn't say I've tried it or will. Just was thinking about it because I often try to personally justify such expenses as being for charity.

This happened to me a couple of days ago with one of my favorite dancers. I guess I fall into the regular category now, at least for this one dancer, and she was on stage when I walked in. I gave my customary tip and asked her to join me for a drink and stuff. Right after she gets off stage, she comes over and says that she's with a regular who apparently was spending a lot of money. She never made it back to me and I left with a lot more cash than I intended. It's annoying but it is still a business. A lot of times girls won't even notice how much you tip them on stage so I try to subtly tell them if I'm tipping more than a buck or two.

I don't understand how this is dehumanizing, but I know a lot of dancers don't like it for various reasons. As steve says, it's equivalent to introducing the starting lineup for a ball game. DJ introduces the girls and they all stand on the stage (in their bikinis) for a minute or two and customers can initiate contact with the ones they are interested in getting to know. And it really should take place about once every two hours.

No cookouts in atl today as it was raining all day. I was at Follies awhile - packed as usual with guys but not enough girls and the best girls weren't there.

yeah. it's kind of funny how that happens. Bartender Lydda at Columbia Platinum Plus comes to mind as one of the hottest young ladies I've seen.

I generally agree with you that prices and mileage expected for lap dances are most important but there are some places where there are places to sit that are particularly good or particularly bad. It's good to know that as well as what can be expected from parking/valet. I've been known to turn around when I get to a place that has a mandatory valet or charges an unexpectedly high parking fee or cover charge.

I personally like to engage in conversation and actually get to know a dancer. If I'm spending money on her, i want to know soemthing about her. Going to a club is social visit - kind of a more expensive but less stressful substitute for trying to pick up a girl at a bar or night club. And there's a higher chance of success at a SC than a bar. Actually, lately I've viewed strip club visits as being like therapy. I get to socialize, vent about the crap in my life, get the opinion of someone very different from me, and get some sexual needs partially satisfied. It can even be cheaper than therapy but makes me feel better.

The only club within 100 miles of my house requires you to prepay for the first lap dance ($15 to the house and 20 to the dancer) but then you can stay as long as you like, usually for $20/song. Management also heavily monitors behavior in the lap dance booths. This is not a good policy - making the customer feel untrustworthy is just a bad business practice. I go to this club fairly regularly but mostly just tip at the stage and play pool with the dancers. This is the only place across the south I've seen that requires prepayment for a lap dance.

I've never felt a need to hide my identity but I'm sure that might change if I ever decide to go to a club while in a serious relationship. Trying to keep up with lies is too hard, and yes, dancers get major bonus points for remembering my name.
