As I read your article I was looking for insights that would benefit the larger community. There are a couple, but the statistical summary of your year of clubbing lacks the proper context to be meaningful to anyone but you. If you had looked at your data versus the population of the stripper community (including the girls you did not take to private dances) or the population of US women, that would be meaningful. But since your data set only includes women you selected, it is inherently biased. Let me take some of your data and try to provide the context I am describing. Let’s start with the increased cost of dances. The federal rate for inflation was 2.7% in 2024, while your indicated prices increased by 25%. But your cost data lacks any consideration or control for the service provided (nude vs. topless) or the location (big city vs back country). If you received more nude dances in big cities in 2024 compared to 2023, these variables would explain the cost increase rather than inflationary factors. Next, let’s look at the breakdown of hair color and eye color of your data compared to data for people in the U.S. The U.S. data is in (). Hair color: Black hair: 44.5% (20%) Brown hair: 28 (53%) Blonde hair 19.5 (22%) Red hair 0.3% (8%) Eye color: Brown: 61% (47%) Hazel/Green: 8% (30%) Blue: 31% (18%) Gray: 0% (5%) Considering you had a higher proportion of dances with girls with black hair and brown eyes than is represented in the population, it could mean that you prefer this type of woman. Or it could mean that more girls with black hair and brown eyes work at strip clubs due to social or economic drivers. Next let’s look at breast size. Again the U.S. data is in () while your data is not. 9% were A or AA cup (9.7%) 41% were B cup (25.5%) 18% were C cup (36.1%) 32% were D or DD cup 28.7% You danced with proportionally more girls with B cups than C cups compared to the representation in the population. This could indicate a preference for girls with smaller boobs. But the fact that you had more dances from girls with D or larger breasts than girls with C cups negates that theory. What is probably at play here is that strippers are more likely to be thinner and younger than women in the general population (many of whom have gone through body-changing pregnancies.) If you collect data again in 2025, it would be helpful to collect data on the total stripper population instead of just the girls you select for private dances. This way you can make an observation like this: Latinas represented 41% of the women at the clubs I visited, but only 28% of the girls I took to private dances. Additionally the data on the larger stripper population does not reflect your bias and is therefore more useful to the rest of us. If you collected this level of data annually, observable trends would be noticeable in the data. Here is one I suspect you will find if you approach this project the way I am describing: “Latinas are the fastest growing stripper demographic and grew by X% in 2025.” Missing information: Here are some notes on information missing here that would benefit the community: 1. How many strip club visits did you have in total in 2024 and what was your visit distribution across the 22 clubs? I imagine some clubs were visited many times and other just once. 2. You said the club selection was based on proximity only, but what made you revisit certain clubs? 3. In what part of the country were you clubbing? If you visited CA or HI clubs and did not dance with any Asians, that would show a real bias. And where are you encountering Native American dancers? 4. Why did you always have issues with Cuban dancers? 5. What was the range of extras offered and did this vary based on type of club? I also like data collection and spreadsheets. I am considering tracking stripper population data from my visits the way I described here, but I visit far fewer clubs in a year than you do. You would provide a valuable service if you collect the context information I mentioned. Without it your future reports will be another navel gazing exercise.

Buck, I agree. The shower show at Mitchell Brothers was also amazing. And HK is probably the closest to that experience. But I'll keep looking...

The $65 cover was a shock, but the club makes a lot less on each private dance ($20 for every $100) than most every club I've been to. And there are pushy and rude dancers at Palomino, but the more courteous dancers more than made up for it.

Broker02 is correct. The 15 minutes was the total transit time from HK to my US hotel. I was in TJ for 7 hours with most of this time was spent at HK.

Papi: $180 is definitely the cost for a private dance as the bartender handled the money, took the house cut and then paid the girl. As for the no-touching rule, other commentators seem to have validated this detail. I suspect that because it is an under 21 club, they have instituted a no=touching rule for the lowest-tier private dances.
