I think it's fine so long as dancers can opt out.

I think I have no time and less interest in any of this PUA-adjacent silliness.

^ There's a link you can click on each club profile to report it as closed, and/or you can message founder directly. You can also post a discussion under the club profile to report it being closed.

I don't mind it as long as the control screen is user friendly. But I don't have a strong opinion. Franchise restaurants and fast food in particular will sprint towards this regardless of the minimum wage rate, because automation and AI will be cheaper in the long run than in-store human employees (even at a lower minimum wage).

I think that the review guidelines should be more obvious to new reviewers. Ultimately, though, you're never going to entirely solve for lazy.

It's not "triggering", but it's also true that we don't know you or your motives (good, bad, or otherwise). So, the smart move is to not assist a potential stalker or ex whatever. Because we've seen that on this site before. It's your responsibility to ask for a dancer's contact info to stay in touch with her. And if you reached out to her on X and she didn't reply, then maybe she doesn't want randos following her from club to club.

We agree regarding cigarette breath. I don't mind tattoos. Often I like them. My solution to a hot dancer looking at her phone is to introduce myself and maybe get dances.

People speculated and did a lot hand-wringing over the relevance of the three original TV networks first with the advent of cable and then more recently with streaming services. While you may have opinions about the current operation of those networks, they're still here and producing programming after severe market shifts. That said, everyone has had to adapt to having a smaller slice of the pie. Similarly, sex work has become more fragmented to include sugaring, OnlyFans, camming, etc., as well as strip clubs. And though there's a growing population of adults that aren't quite as "in person" as previous generations, it's not like the population of guys who want a lap dance and in-person attention from a hot dancer will ever drop to zero. And the population of women willing to satisfy that demand also won't drop to zero. And there will always be someone willing to give both of those populations a place to gather. So, there may be fewer clubs as the ones with outdated practices drop off the map, but I don't foresee a strip club wasteland anytime soon. The injection of partisan politics into this is a bit silly. We've seen both Republican- and Democratic-controlled local governments target strip clubs because it's low-hanging fruit to appeal to voters who all agree that strip clubs are bad and the people inside of them are worse (setting aside the tiny demographic of voters who work in or regularly visit strip clubs). And if you don't agree with any of that, then I am also pretty certain that our current strip club scene won't dry up before most of the people on this thread die. And after that, who cares?... you're dead.

Don't connect dancers by name to extras and don't ask others to do that either. It's really shitty and can jam up a dancer at the club. Customers aren't the only people reading these threads.

Not the case with the Latina dancers I've encountered.

Yes.

It is perhaps a function of age, but also of changing tastes and priorities. As we age, we tend to want more stability and consistency. There's comfort in those things, which is fine. If it's what you want right now, then roll with it.

That's not a bad assumption, but you really won't know until you ask her direct questions. This is not an occasion to be coy. That said, one of the benefits of OTC with a dancer versus an escort is the lack of structure, which can lead to some pretty great encounters. Regarding price, keep in mind that you're also paying for a hotel room unless you're going to hers or your home (which has its own risks...).

Please post these threads to the "Political Discourse" forum.

Don't connect dancers to extras by name. It's a shitty thing to do. Also, maybe contribute to the site via reviews, articles, and useful posts before you expect everyone to give up the goods.

I used to do that to discourage others from posting to threads by a user who has, over years, perfected the act of manipulating the most reactions under false pretenses while expending the least effort. But I stopped doing it several months ago because when it comes to rising to bait, TUSCL is essentially a giant koi pond (a koi lake?). I might indulge myself just by pointing this out every so often (like right here), but by design I'm not interacting with users like RMD, CJ, or Icee, etc. Because when it comes to trolls, you're either fulfilling their wishes... or not. *Every* post in response to a troll is like giving a dog a treat. And if others want to do that... [shrug]. But I don't view all the oxygen I've given to trolls and think "That was time well spent and my best look."

No one is "bitch slapping" anyone on an anonymous titty bar forum. You're either giving a troll the attention they want... or not.

Tell them before going to the dance area.

This might be the most TUSCL thread topic ever.

I do Google phone numbers because that's easy, low-hanging fruit. Also, one time it led me to information that caused me to veer away from OTC.

I thought I didn't give a fuck when I was younger, but it wasn't until I crossed the AARP threshold that I truly realized what not giving a fuck felt like.

Not sure but that's a challenge I'd accept.

Well, that escalated slowly...

I'm just going to leave this here... https://a.co/d/8aB1QRD
