Desire is located just a mile...

Desire is located just a mile or so down Allens Av..from Cheaters, but the two clubs are substantially different in character. The physical dimensions of Desire are relatively small and the layout is straightforward, consisting of one fairly open space, with a full bar, a rather small stage (with a pole), and a variety of seats, including some stools at the stage rail for tippers and chair/table combinations between the stage and the bar. The seating is comfortable and the facility is neat and clean. There are lots of mirrors, resulting in a room that feels larger than it actually is. The men's room was clean and functional but the ladies' room was undergoing some reconstruction.

The corps of dancers during the time I was at the club consisted of about ten young ladies. Overall, the physical appearance of the dancers here is much better than at Cheaters, but mainly because none of the dancers at Desire (among those I observed) were less than about 7 on a scale of 1-10. None were 10's (in my opinion), however, and only a couple were 9's. So the difference between the quality of the dancers at Desire vs. Cheaters is not that there are more gorgeous ones at Desire, but mainly that there are far fewer at the low end of the scale.

Desire has a relaxed, gentlemanly atmosphere. The dancers mix with the clientele between their calls to the stage but aren't pushy about asking for private dances or VIP booth time. I tried to line up the dancer I found most attractive for some booth activity. She promised to come back to let me know but then didn't. After forty-five minutes of waiting, I tracked her down in order to finalize the conversation, and she indicated she had forgot because a couple of her regulars came in. I had asked her for something specific and she added, "I don't do that sort of thing," which she certainly could have indicated forty-five minutes earlier, leaving me opportunity to try to line up another dancer. In any case, there was only one other of interest to me. Now, granted, this was my first time at this club and most clubs give their best treatment to their regulars, but shabby treatment of first-timers also pretty much ensures that they will never become regulars.
