I saw a sign in a strip club that said, "No Chewing Gum Allowed". I asked a waitress about that, and she said when customers are done chewing gum, they spit it on the floor or take it and stick it under the table.

This is just one of a collection of aggressive tactics used to get you to spend money on something you don't want. I've always felt that if I'm sitting in a strip club, I should at least do a little stage tipping if I'm not buying lap dances. I've reconsidered that recently, though. There has been a steady decline in dancer quality in local clubs. Often, I don't even like looking at the girls on stage. I will stick around for a stage rotation to see if anyone cute is hiding out back in the dressing room and then leave if that doesn't happen. The strip club manager and dancers might feel I'm cheating them by not giving the girls any money but if I pay an entrance fee and am required to buy a drink in order to look at unattractive women then I feel like I'm the one being cheated.

Darker natural hair. Blondes are all aware of the dumb blonde stereotype so try too hard to act smart.

There was a period when my favorite would show up at noon right after the club opened and I would go over on my lunch break at work and do lap dances with her. She was only there because I was there, and I was only there because she was there. With the exception of the bartender, we were often the only ones in the club and that was really nice. Sometimes she would have to run over to the dj booth and turn on the music before we started doing lap dances.

It's possible you did something wrong. It's also possible you did something she misinterpreted that then led to the name calling. Monday night I was sitting in a strip club. Suddenly, I saw a stripper I had never seen before running at me. She then jumped onto my lap really hard and hurt my leg in doing so. I said, "don't do that". She then angrily replied "you're weird" and stalked off. She was oblivious she hurt me and thought I told her don't get on my lap because I didn't want her touching me or something. I just dismissed her calling me weird because of this. However, if I started having strippers calling me weird, creepy or some other insult on a regular basis then I would think about my behavior that might be causing that. I would only worry about it if more than one stripper calls you creepy.

I like hearing what all the members here think about strip clubs. When I'm actually in a strip club, I want to be talking to the girls and not the other customers. I do wonder, though, what they are all thinking about the strip club experience. I get some insight into that from listening in on the discussions here.

My all-time favorite had tattoos all over her arms. I asked her if she ever worried about finding a job after her stripping days were over. She told me it was a different era now and no one cares if someone has a lot of tattoos. When she finally did quit stripping, she got a job as a receptionist for a lawyer where she is now required to wear long sleeves to cover up her arm tattoos.

My Congressional representative, Victoria Spartz, is a former auditor and a Ukrainian-American. She was calling for better oversight of the aid flowing over to the Ukraine last July. She sensibly understood support for that aid would decline if it came out it was being diverted to enrich local politicians. Unbelievably, the Ukrainian government attacked her for even hinting they might not be totally honest. https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/09/ukraine-foreign-ministry-blasts-rep-victoria-spartzs-cynical-allegations-00044860

I'm for allowing a short window to correct comments for spelling or grammar. I think if people can delete their old comments, they will be less likely to think about what they are saying in the first place. That wouldn't be a good thing. Most of the things in my life I regret were unintentional. One time here I didn't laugh at someone's joke, and he got a little condescending and implied I didn't tell him it was funny because I was too stupid to understand it. I got a little nasty with him and actually drove him off the site for several months. He finally came back. In no way do I want to create a hostile environment here and drive people away. A delete button wouldn't help me because I'm sometimes not aware I shouldn't be saying something.

I think if two guys get in a big fight here, they should be transported to another planet where they have to do physical combat only using objects found on that planet. I got this idea from Star Trek.

My stripper regulars often show me pictures on their phone of their pet dog or cat. I'd rather see the swimsuit photo of them at the beach or just sit there and look at them in the club. I did like a stripper regular photo of her with a big smile on her face showing her Pitbull the birthday cake she made for him.

With all the serious problems this country is facing, whether Trump or Biden were taking classified documents home with them seems like a nothingburger by comparison. It's like discussing the arrangement of the deck chairs on the Titanic when it is headed for an iceberg.

Each of the Beatles was not as good individually as they were together in a group. There is often a synergistic effect in a band where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. A more recent example is Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas. He has superior production talents and is a more prolific songwriter, but she adds a darkness to their music which makes it somewhat unique for pop music and more interesting.

How does the two-drink minimum work? Do you pay for both drinks when you come in and the waitress brings them to you? If you don't, how does the waitress mentally keep track in a club filled with customers which ones have bought only one drink and need to buy another one and which ones have bought two? Consistency is important to me. I don't like it when I go in this club and am told I don't need to buy a drink and then the next time I go in the same club a waitress or manager barks at me that I need to buy two drinks and glares at me like I'm trying to cheat them by sitting there with no drink. I don't like it when I go in this club and a dancer sells me a lap dance for $25 and then the next time I go in this club and ask a dancer for a lap dance I discover hers cost twice as much. I don't like it when I go in this club and they say there is no entrance fee because I have a military identification and then the next time I go in the club they say it's ten dollars to get in when I show my identification. I don't like it when I visit this club one afternoon and it's open and then the next afternoon I go visit it's closed. I don't like it when they say they won't charge me to get in because there are no dancers in the club and then the next time I go there they charge me full price and then I discover there are no dancers in the club after I get inside.

I always wanted to hear "How Soon is Now" by the Smiths in a strip club. I saw a movie once where a young Natalie Portman played a stripper, and that song was playing in the background while she was giving a guy a lap dance. In real life strippers don't look like a young Natalie Portman and strip clubs don't play music like the Smiths. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnpILIIo9ek

All those Boomer musical idols are going to start passing away one right after the other. Strippers would only be vaguely aware who any of those people are just as my Boomer generation only vaguely knew who someone like Benny Goodman was. For strippers, this was music their grandparents listened to. When asked once, I told a stripper one time my favorite band was the Beatles. She asked if any of them were still alive and seemed surprised when I said two were.

As of December 2022, incomes adjusted for inflation have dropped 21 months in a row. Credit card debt is close to passing a trillion dollars, which would be the highest level in history. At some point in the very near future people will have to alter their lifestyles and reduce spending. When that happens, the country will go into a serious recession. That is likely to lead to a financial crisis worse than the one in 2008. In response to this, the Fed will likely abandon its policy of increasing interest rates and high inflation will resume. There will be a great deal of political pressure on them to keep the country from going into Great Depression II and they are likely to cave into that pressure. Volcker and Reagan resisted that political pressure in the early eighties in a similar situation, but this is a different era. We have Powell and Biden now, neither of which are likely to have the political courage to do the same. Interest rates are the price of borrowing money. The best long-term course would be to let the market set interest rates just as it sets other prices, but our current governing elites won't allow that.

The manosphere is a somewhat vague term that is applied to three different groups. One group is pickup artist types who use psychological manipulation on women in order to get sex. A second group are guys who have decided that modern day women are not worth chasing after and aren't even trying. A third group involves offering the traditional self-improvement advice about diet, exercise, grooming, career advancement etc. The number of pickup artist blogs and books have declined in recent years. Average guys found the advice didn't work for them and also decided the type of psychological manipulation involved is morally questionable. You still have guys trying to improve themselves to make themselves more attractive to women and other guys deciding it's not worth the trouble. Even if you decide you aren't going to lose weight or exercise to look good for women, it's still a good idea to do that just for general health reasons.

I took a dancer out to dinner and then two other dancers in the same club made an offer to go out to dinner with me too. Females can have a competitive nature and be jealous and customers should not be oblivious to this. Some clubs have a "Queen Bee" who can become annoyed if some other girl she considers her inferior is getting more money and attention. I've been surprised several times by the top girl in the club who previously ignored me suddenly being friendly to me when she sees me focusing on another dancer.

China won't use them on the U.S. because they are more interested in selling stuff to the U.S. If you were running a business, would you want to nuke your best customer? Russia won't use them because they won't need to. They'll eventually win the Ukraine war because they have three times the population of the Ukraine and the Ukrainians will run out of soldiers first. American supplied weapons won't help if there is no one to use them. Also, Americans eventually get tired of these overseas interventions like Vietnam, Afghanistan and the Ukraine and leave. The Russians know that and won't give up. It would be suicidal for some small country to use them so that won't happen. This leaves the United States. As U.S. policymakers become more aware we are a country in decline and are losing our position as the dominant power on the planet they may be tempted to use them, but I don't think they will. We are totally unprepared for a nuclear attack and always have been. There are almost no bomb shelters. Our military couldn't even stop someone from flying a plane into the Pentagon.

There are no clubs like that here in Indianapolis. Brad's Brass Flamingo is considered the best club. I walked out of there late one night, though, and saw a couple police cars in the parking lot and policemen standing around. I looked down and saw a body lying there on the ground. The most dangerous part of the night for any strip club goer is that late night walk from the inside of the club to your car.

I've never thought beauty pageant winners are the hottest women around. They are attractive but in a generic sort of way. I felt the same way about high school cheerleaders when I was in high school. The prettiest girl in my high school was a friend of my sister. She was the daughter of a rich doctor who had married a beautiful woman and they produced her as their offspring. Our high school was made up of cliques and she was not part of the athlete-cheerleader clique and wouldn't have even been interested in being a cheerleader. Really pretty women know they are really pretty and don't need the validation they are from people they don't care about.

There appears in some cases I've seen where there is a tipping point, and a strip club goes from majority black to almost all black in a short period of time. A form of white flight takes place because many whites don't feel comfortable in situations where they are not the majority. I've not seen a situation where a strip club flipped from being mostly black to mostly white. There is some residential gentrification here in Indianapolis where formerly black neighborhoods become white but the types of whites who move into them don't seem to go in large numbers to nearby strip clubs.

Reading novels, reading nonfiction, playing guitar, playing keyboards and listening to music, watching movies, and playing board games are the things I do at home. Everyone should develop several hobbies that they find relaxing because having a stress relief program is important for maintaining health. I'm 66 with no health problems because I have hobbies I enjoy, eat a good diet, exercise regularly, live in a safe low crime area, and have a job that can pay for the lifestyle I follow. I also have things I do outside the home for stress relief and going to strip clubs are on that list. I look for regulars who are friendly, affectionate, and can do a sensual lap dance. The main drawback of strip clubs are overly aggressive girls who can be difficult to deal with sometimes. I believe these types of girls hurt strip clubs by driving off customers and strip club management and the girls themselves need to think a little more about this and try to make strip clubs a little more relaxing and enjoyable for the customers.

What percentage of black dancers would a strip club have to have to be considered a black club? I think this is relevant for a lot of customers. I sometimes have a strip club manager or a dancer offer to bring me a girl and ask what type I like. I'll say, "little and skinny" and then they ask what race. They assume, probably based on past experience, this is important to a lot of customers. Size is most important to me. If the only little cute stripper in the club is black, I'll pick her. If someone likes a girl to be a certain height, weight, race, hair color, breast size, age or anything else they should be free to pick who they want while visiting the strip club or just sit there and drink and relax if they don't see anyone they happen to like.
