1. It can be amusing once in awhile.

2. I subscribe to the Bill Cosby theory
On one of his albums, he was doing a bit about a burlesque club in Philadelphia, and he said, "When you're hungry, you don't stand there watchin' a guy cook a steak."

3. The first time I was at one...
it was a place that is actually half "Gentleman's Club" and half "Rock Club." So I was there with my girlfriend seeing a band play. The second band sucked, so we decided to go over to the stripper side and we had a great time. Oddly enough, we would get more random crap as a lesbian couple in a regular bar than there. It seems that if there's scantily clad women onstage, guys don't bother the fully clothed women sitting at the bar.

14. they can be amusing if you go with a large group of friends
Like for a bachelor party, but if you stay too long, you notice all the single lonley pathetic guys in the place, the girls with the most obvious problems, and it is depressing

7. Most of the time it is a pretty degrading experience that separates
Edited on Sat Jul-29-06 05:32 AM by zonkers
you from your money pretty quickly. I guess, after a few ten dollar beers, some guys can get into it. I mean how many cliche flirty looks can you sit through? I get bored unless there is a hot dancer who can really move and then it can hit another level but this is rare. Usually, I end up trying to guess which mafia looking goon at the bar owns the place or which stripper has a kid or is on drugs. By the end of the night, I am so happy to get home to my cat, my cable and the Haagen das in my freezer.

10. If you do decide to go, take a woman with you. You will get ALOT
more attention from the girls!!

(Well, you won't...but the woman you take definitely will!)

11. If you ever do, understand one thing.
To a stripper, you are just a fleshy cash machine.

It is a JOB to them.

19. I was a stripper in my younger days ...
well, I mean, I used to like to strip antiques that I'd find at auction sales. Did a nice job too! My ex has all the old stuff now. I need to start antique shopping again, maybe get back to being a stripper :)

:rofl:

22. Go to an amateur strip, get up there and shake your booty
Edited on Sat Jul-29-06 10:08 AM by TrogL
(you want correct speeling at 9 a.m. on a Saturday?)

It's fun and profitable if you win.

23. I've been to a few back in the day
but it wasn't very entertaining to me. The girls were gorgeous but I have never understood why anyone would want to look at these women on a regular basis. Just go find yourself a girlfriend. And if you can't, why go somewhere that would just make you feel worse for not having one? Talk about making yourself even more frustrated.

24. Not missing much
Last time I was at one with a friend a few years ago, reality hit me after having a pair of boobs rubbed in my face. I thought "you know how many faces have those breast been rubbed on" and after I get home I scrube my face with soap and water! LOL

26. I've been to Patpong, the surreal Apocalypse Now of Bangkok nightlife

No other strip "club" could even come close.

Just sayin'

Seriously. Why pay some woman to give me blue balls when I can be sexually frustrated for free?

30. And you never will with that attitude.

Strippers are people too...Yes strip clubs are sexist, yes theyre always filled with creepy dudes (go on a weekday morning). Yes I've been to many a strip club. Unlike most people, I have a few friends that are strippers (the prefer the term exotic dancer). Most of them are good people, however most of them dont go to pay their college tuition. No one forced them to be strippers. They are beautiful women, and they know it. They use their powers to con stupid men out of their money. I can find anything more empowering than that.
