Microsoft and Apple realize that the future of computers is in entertainment. Computing is not about getting real work done, it's about Facebook and videos and Tweeting and music and selling iTunes from their online store and selling movies and a complete entertainment experience.
And that's what they design their OS's for, not for people who just want to do simple work. It's about being connected to the internet so they can sell you shit, not so you can do stuff. It's so they can sell you their iCloud and iTunes and all that iShit.
And Windows 8 is just Microsoft's way of saying "I don't give a fuck about what you want, you need to get a computer with a touch screen and put up with all our apps for selling you stuff online". You need to re-learn stuff you've been doing with Windows for the last decades because we said so. And if you don't put up with our shit and call it awesome, you're just afraid of change.
Well fuck you Microsoft. I don't give a fuck about iTunes and iCloud and all that iShit that you and Apple are trying to sell me. I just want to do a few simple things and then get off the computer and go out into the real world and do stuff.

Oh, and to set up the router you have to know to enter "192.168.0.1" as the web address. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME??? It's 2012, and you have to work directly with IP addresses?? And to reset the DHCP stack you have to use the goddamned COMMAND LINE???
Absolutely insane. Using a fucking command line in 2012.
And it's all because most of the computer users love this shit. They love being smarter than the other guy in being able to figure out this insane crap. They'll play around for hours, days, with this ridiculous shit just so they can act smarter than everyone else in an online forum.

Those fucking MS assholes.
I've been using computers for over 30 years, and I STILL can't figure out Windows networking. And instead of fixing important shit like that they keep coming out with this useless superficial crap (like all that useless fucking Aero shit). And just when you get used to how Windows works, some asshole product manager decides they need to make changes just so they can convince the mindless computer users of how new and awesome it is.
The other day I spent most of the day trying to get my wireless router and cable modem working. And of course you run their totally useless "Troubleshooter" and it ALWAYS comes back with "Hell, I have no clue what's wrong". Has anyone ONCE had that fucking thing find a problem? I haven't. Not once, in all these years.
And after trying everything 3 times, something I did fixed the DCHP stack problem or whatever the fuck was wrong. No way I could repeat that if my life depended on it.
So no, I wouldn't give those assholes another penny of my money. Until, of course, everything stops working because I don't have Windows 8 and they put a freakin' gun to my head.
Those assholes.

Those are the easy ones...
If you actually saw most of these celebrities, in person, without makeup, your list would be a couple miles long.
For example, one near the top of my list is Angelina Jolie. HUH??
Yup. I've seen her in person, and that chick has the body of an 80 year old woman. She's a bony skeltor, with big hands, gawky long arms, big bony feet, no ass at all, saggy pale skin, etc. Yuk. Pretty face with lots of makeup, but that's about all she's got going for her.
Even my vote for one of the hottest celebrity pieces of ass, Sofia Vergara, is barely worth a second look without makeup.
And then there's Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Nicolette Sheridan, and on and on. Blecchhh...

Perhaps the main reason I despise Vegas. The whole city is like that. Especially now that their economy is in the tank.

"How could I forget about LA?"
Well, I'm in LA, and, like I said, I don't think it's a contender. Yeah, there are a bunch of clubs, and yeah, you can find lots of latinas and some black girls and a few Asians, and maybe a couple of otherwise sucky clubs might have some real hot girls on a given shift, but when you compare it to other cities I don't think it's as good.
Mileage and value are another issue altogether, but you said they weren't as important.
Now, unless you're gonna either sit in a club for two weeks or your hotel room, you've got to consider other factors. It's getting cold out, so sticking to the south makes sense. And, even though you may not think so now, you WILL want to do stuff during the day, so I'd seriously consider places with other stuff to do. Which is why I suggested Florida. Toronto and NY are nice, but they're getting freakin' cold, and hotels in NY are freakin' outrageously expensive, and compared to Florida, IMO, there's no contest. Phoenix is great, but geez, like I say, what the hell are you gonna do there for two weeks?

I think I'd go insane being in Vegas for two weeks, though they've got some hot dancers. Same thing with Phoenix.
Really, I think I'd bounce around Florida, and maybe take a trip up to Atlanta. Lots of variety, lots of choices. And lots of other stuff to do when the clubs are closed.

So all you're looking for is hot dancers? Not value, not mileage, not stuff to do when you're not at the club?
Wow, that's a tough one. A 2 week vacation and all you care about is hottest dancers? Hard to believe. But anyway...
Beauty is in the eye, and all that stuff. I think most would agree that Vegas is right up there, although IMO the clubs suck. I don't think LA is a contender, even though there's the variety you mention.
I'd say, if you have a couple of weeks, bounce around Florida. Miami, Tampa. Just watch out for hurricanes.

One thing I would suggest if you find it's tough to really get into a lap dance is to use viagra or cialis. Now I'm sure there are those macho guys here who will pound their chests and proudly show great disdain for stuff like that because they're ultra macho and don't need it, but it's not about need.
I've found that using an ED med, of course, makes you harder, faster, than you'd otherwise get. But for me at least, something about getting hard seems to make you even hornier. Not sure why, but if I take a viagra before hitting the club, then it's pretty much guaranteed I'm hard as a rock starting with the first or second dance. But it also seems to magnify my horniness, so around the 3rd or 4th song I'm ready to blast off.
And the dancer seems to like it when she feels this big dick inside the loose shorts, so you're pretty much off to the races right away. No concerns that you might be LE or anything, she already knows the score.
And yeah, if you go into a club and you're not really horny, and maybe you're stressed, or whatever, it's gonna be real tough to get into it. I generally only go to a club when I freakin' horny as shit and NEED to go. Add a little viagra, and a hot dancer trying to get me off, and there's no way I'm NOT gonna cum.

Pablo speaks: "I haven't cum in my pants because of a girl since the 7th grade. Personally I think its silly and immature"
The last time I came in my pants during a lapdance I was with a smoking hot bleached blonde with hair almost down to her butt. Huge tits, perfumed hair, wild as fuck. She was straddling me cowgirl, facing me, I was devouring her bare tits. She was whispering nasty in my ear, and during song 2 reached in her purse for some lotion. She then reached down behind her and slid her hand inside my shorts and began jacking me with the lotion. Then she did reverse cowgirl, slid my dick between her butt cheeks and jacked me with her hand and her butt, while I grabbed her tits from behind. After 4 songs of this, I came in my pants.
Silly and immature? Well, maybe if you're incapable of cumming in a situation like that, yeah.
Or maybe some of us just aren't as macho as...the great....Pablo...Antonio.

By the way, I may have been unnecessarily harsh on the Liquid Lapdance. It really is the best idea out there, and probably the best solution, but for me personally I prefer just the straight commando method. But for most guys I think it's, by far, the best alternative.

"How do you handle the situation?"
Yeah, it's a tough situation no matter how you handle it.
However, if a dancer makes you cum, I think we all agree that she wanted you to cum? Why? Because we all agree that to make you cum, she had to try real hard to make it happen. There had to be INTENT. Because as we all know, if a dancer isn't trying to make you cum, it AIN'T gonna happen. There's gotta be the right groove for the right amount of time, she's gotta use her hands and her butt and keep the groove going for long enough to make it happen.
And we all know that all she has to do is switch it up at the wrong time, and BAM !! the thrill is gone and it ain't gonna happen. And there are lots of dancers who know that, and are expert at mixing it up enough so you can't get into the groove.
She's gotta use her hands, or her butt and her hands, or her tits, or whatever, but she's gotta work real hard to make it happen.
So if a dancer acts surprised or pissed, I call BS. Just give her a tip and mark her off your list for future dances.
Now, you can use a condom, but IMO they are pretty much a waste for many reasons. There's a thing called Liquid Lapdance, a pair of bikini briefs with a built-in latex cum catcher, but IMO they're a nice idea that doesn't pan out.
So really you're just left with letting it happen, and if she balks then move on to another dancer next time. And when a dancer likes it when you cum, tip her well and make a note to use her again next time.

"Dress twill cotton pants and a collared shirt"
What the fuck is 'twill'?
Anyway, I try to dress as respectfully, sharp, and trendy as possible. And honestly, instead of relying on my own fashion sense (which is surely lacking) I tend to seek out the advice of the experts. And yes, that means I'll occasionally check GQ and other periodicals for the latest fashion trends.
For example, you might be familiar with the designers Dolce and Gabbana. I try to take the advice of experts like them to heart:
"It's simple: Everyone should have a black blazer."—Domenico Dolce
"The best style advice came from my parents: Be honest. Just be yourself."—Stefano Gabbana
Personally, I tend to be more of an Abercrombie, with a hint of D&G. But as Ralph Lauren said:
"I believe one can live many lives through personal style. Every day is an occasion to reinvent yourself."
That being said, when I go to a club I generally wear oversized short shorts, no underwear, and an oversized t-shirt. That way chicks can jack me off real easy.

Yeah, she did have some interesting perspectives.
But I'm trying to figure out why some guys are so keen on having strippers post here. KK was a perfect example. Personally, when I hear shit from a stripper's perspective, like what she was describing about how some of the girls are forced to work there, and beaten by their pimps, and scared to death and shit, it just makes me feel like crap. And the girls are on drugs, and don't give a fuck, and only want money, and on and on.
Yeah, it's true, no doubt it applies to some strippers, nobody would argue that. And when they complain about customers, yeah it's true, you could make a good case that most customers are complete a-holes.
But who wants to hear that shit? I go to a club to have fun, not think in the back of my mind that this stripper sitting with me is scared shitless that she's gonna get beaten if I don't give her and her pimp enough money? I don't need that shit.
Personally, I know it probably sounds cold and shit, but I don't give a fuck about the stripper's perspective. I go to a club for one reason: to have lots of fun and forget about the world's problems. If they could come here and help me with that, then fine. But they can't. At best they'll tell us how we should dress, and how we should tip, and how we should treat them, and on and on. I don't give a fuck about that. I have lots of fun in my favorite clubs being who I am. Maybe I could do things better, but strip clubs aren't that important to me, and since I'm the one paying, not them, I'm not gonna worry if some stripper thinks I should do things differently.
Now, if some of the strippers from my favorite clubs would come on here and ask me what they can do to make my visits more enjoyable, and really cared, then I'd be thrilled to have them. Otherwise, what some drugged out stripper in NY thinks doesn't do shit for me.

Well, I won't address those particular jobs, but I will give some general advice:
Think big.
IMO, the vast majority of people who don't achieve any sort of success in their life can attribute it to one thing: they don't think they can. They are afraid of life, they don't understand it, and therefore they figure the best they can do is be a bathroom troll.
You can do anything you want in life. Anything. And the fact that you are a minority (I think) will only make the journey easier.
And please, do NOT take some of the advice you'll see here, such as: "Future planning doesn't pay today's bills". That's absolutely ridiculous.
Decide what you want to do in life, and plan for it. Think big. And go for it. Figure out what you need to do, starting today, write out a plan to get there, and do it.
DO NOT do stuff today, just to pay bills, that doesn't support your ultimate goal, and in fact may damage your opportunity to get there.
On the other hand, if all you want to do in life is be a bathroom troll, ignore everything I said.

"And when someone CAN speak knowingly from personal experience (Stiletto), the board goes silent."
Now, on the other hand, this statement...
Stiletto merely said, as she usually does, that she's different. Okay, fine. She's an exception. That has nothing to do with the general point we were making regarding society and it's views, in general.
Now, do you have anything useful to add to the discussion, or did you just come here to scold, and from here you're going back to finding a cure for cancer?

Sure. I'll go with that. I occasionally get pissed and frustrated with people, and sometimes I let my inner child get out. It's wrong. But I try not to make it my reason for living like others do. I try to rationally discuss issues. Others do nothing but pot shots and name calling.

steve sez: "...the one flaw in your research is the assumption that all dancers have "parents and family memebers and friends" that feel the same way"
Did I ever say "all"? If I did it was stupid, because nothing is ever all. I made a generalization, which means it's generally true. Which means true the majority (ie, greater than 50%) of the time.
Generally, deep down inside, parents of girls feel that it's bad/dishonorable/shameful/whatever (pick whatever word you like) for their daughter to be a stripper. Much more if they're also getting paid for sex. Of course there are fathers who don't give a crap, or at least supress their feelings in favor of the cash she's making. At there are even some mothers who don't give a crap. But in general, society and parents and children and people in general feel it's a bad thing.
I find it hard to believe that people are arguing about that. Seriously?

So is that the game you children play here? Sounds about right.
But with all due respect to Dougster, he acts like a fuckin' two year old, with his childish name calling and "I'm right, you're wrong" games. Unfortunately, just like many of the kids in this forum. So please don't lump me together with him.
