The cost of xyz was "reasonable"
@Flagooner: I'm not going ro be goaded inro a flame war by someone who apparently doesn't read or comprehend reasoned arguments from others. The primary and most current information on clubs on this site is provided by reviews, not the profiles. Updating the profile information is cumbersome, at best. Amongst other shortcomings, the profile info doesn't account for variations in time of day/day of week or specials (e.g. half-price Mondays @Bogarts, discount Thursdays @ COI clubs). It's far more efficient to describe these sorts of things in a narrative review. I'll give a concrete example: A certain club has topless dances for one price point, full nude for another. The price structure would be in the profile info, but it would not be clear without a review explaining it that the topless dances occur on open benches in a semi-private area, whereas the nude dances happen in a fully private room (which for whatever reason isn't referred to as "VIP" by the club so may not show in the profile accordingly). More to the point, I did not ever say *every* review has to include *every* detail, what I and others have been advocating (and you seem inexplicably opposed to) is providing at least the basic information as part of a review in a way that is meaningful for others.

Dancers' Music.
Overall I tend to tune out a lot of the stage music, but occasionally in clubs where dancers choose their music it does make a difference in my interest level. A couple of times I've tipped a dancer I might otherwise have ignored because her set included an obscure song that I knew/liked. It can be a sign of other common interests/tastes that contribute to the ineffable "chemistry" that could turn a single dance into an ATF situation. I've also had a dancer get especially motivated by certain songs/genres of music. One young blonde young MILF was brand new to dancing when I met her. I was planning to wrap up our LD session when a country soung came on for another girl's stage set. She was so excited to hear country music I felt obliged to get another dance. It was clear from the performance comparison that she was a true fan. :-)

@Flagooner - You seem to be confused on the purpose of a review. Someone else's experience will always be subjective, but a meaningful review presents objective observations as well as personal opinions. Think about movie reviews: Siskel & Ebert didn't spend 100% of their time talking/writing about a scene they liked without describing the basics: plot, characters, is the film a drama or comedy, etc. That's what makes a review meaningful to other readers. You can disagree, it's a free country and you're entitled to be wrong. Going back to the OP, Ihave to disagree with @RickDugan about details for drink prices, since I consider that a secondary (at best) factor in considering clubs. At most, I'll sometimes note if drink prices are abnormally high (e.g. most Detroit clubs) or if there's a drink hustle/premium for dancer drinks.

Recent review I turned-down
@Cashman - I'd say there are too many *published* reviews in that category. Apparently a lot of people are upvoting reviews just for being "long enough" even if little or no substantive information is provided. I feel like I'm in a minority, but I probably vote against publishing at least 2 of 3 reviews bc they're just one guy's story of what he did or ranting about what he didn't like without anything useful to another person wanting to know more about the club.

Is anyone else ...
@Chessmaster I don't think it's acceptable to justify not providing general information on the premise that "it's covered in other reviews" unless the reviewer him/her self is the one that posted the earlier review(s). How many reviews should I have to read before that info is covered? Two? Five? Ten? And especially for clubs that aren't reviewed as frequently, all of the Chulo criteria are subject to changes over time - even physical layout, e.g. club gets rid of private VIP, adds a stage, etc. Realistically, we're probably never going to get to a point where every review has a much substance as the Chulo standard, but IMHO that doesn't mean we shouldn't be more discerning about the lack of meaningful content in most submissions.

@Eve, we like to hear what's going on in a woman's mind if she's having a good time. It helps maintain the fantasy when we don't otherwise know what she's thinking ;-) @PoleDancer, if you haven't already discovered it there's a site where you can read some well-written (and a lot of terrible) erotic writing as well as getting tips and posting some of your own - just be sure to share any new stories you write here. https://literotica.com

@EveHartley - assuming you answered Shadow's question "as written," that sounds like a story I'd love to hear. My own numbers aren't that impressive unless we're including acts other than FS. In that case, my 24-hour tally is 3.

Disappointed
I think this story illustrates the difference between being attracted to the person vs. being attracted to your idealized concept of that person. You mentioned watching from the sidelines as this woman's relationship deteriorated - with the implications that (a) you were at best glossing over her negative traits that contributed to her marriage breaking up, and (b) you were excited enough at the prospect of her being "available" again that you didn't consider how the intervening time and experiences would've adversely impacted her (both physically/ superficially and in emotional/ psychological terms).

If I have a good enough experience that I'd be interested in seeing the dancer again, I'll usually ask if she keeps a regular schedule - which more often than not prompts her to offer her number. "60% of the time, it works every time."

Power to the people? Will be interesting to see how this experiment works out. Especially whether the voting members get any hate PMs if they downvote a review.

No rules
Similar to Digitech, I've had a number of "false advertising" claims from dancers when the subject of their rules came up. This is partly a ROB thing, but also partly a club/market culture phenomenon. At a dive club in Detroit, it's a safe bet "no rules" means exactly that. In fact there's probably a 50/50 chance it may be followed by "just no anal." At a franchise club in LA (not to be confused with COI), "no rules" is more likely to mean nothing beyond light 2-way contact. The dancers rationalize this by distinguishing "rules" from "things they won't do." Moral of the story is you have to either learn how to ask the right questions, or be willing to risk an occasional disappointment.

Strip Club Franchises
@Flagooner Those underage kids are the worst! I remember when I lived in Texas, a bunch of 'em came in The Landing Strip. My CF at the time was so bothered by it she went back to her day job teaching. As far as franchises go, I have to give props to The Glitter Factory. Terrible club, great breakfast buffet.

Why is it that strip clubs cannot be within 1,000 feet of a church?
- If they were any closer together, some hungover PL might mistake the confessional for a VIP booth. - When churches are close to extras clubs, the kneelers from the pews keep going missing.

"Bottom line as its been for ever is the girls are trying to earn $." I think you probably answered your own question right there.

If you'd be interested in becoming her regular or seeing her OTC, text her and start the conversation. If not, just be polite the next time you w
