Dude - You are 41. Your life is not over. You can flip your life/health completely around and be a completely different person in a year.

Your life does not have to be sad, you have the power and ability to change things. You don't have to be the strip club guy.

Tonight could be the night that instead of driving 90 minutes to go to a strip club solo, you decided to change your life for the better. Spend the weekend putting together a workout plan, finally commit to starting that hobby, read a book or two on $$$.

You'll slowly find your life becomes more fulfilling. You feel better physically and mentally. You start earning more money. With that, you also start to get the attention from some attractive women that you don't have to pay for.

Life is too short, take this weekend to take the first step at being better.

I can't really say anything against what you just said. Definitely made me think about it at least. Decided against going to the strip club tonight.

The time to get Lane to commit was early or middle of this week. I truly don't think he knows right now and that makes it worse. It makes me believe it's going to be an emotional decision and if it is the momentum will be with Ole Miss. I don't see him wanting to leave these players before the CFP.

They needed to get to him earlier in the week when it would've been more of a business decision and not an emotional decision.

I admit it. I've been to strip clubs in my life. They are trashy and after the second dancer very boring. I think they should be illegal because they victimize women.

---

I completely disagree with this. Outside of the sex trafficking angle, which I know does happen, women are not required to go into that line of work. Many women do it because it actually does make them feel empowered. Especially for college girls, they make far more in a night in a strip club then they do in 2 weeks in some minimum wage job.

Obviously it shouldn't be a career goal of any woman. Any woman should look at a strip club as a temporary job that is a means to an end, a means to something better.

But I absolutely believe that strip clubs (full nudity, not just topless) and escorts/prostitution should be legal and regulated like it is in other countries. You're never going to eliminate the demand, but you take it out of the dark alley ways and side streets. You make it safer both for the woman as well as the client.

Trashy as frick, and push the girls way too far. They think for their dollar bill they can do whatever they want.

My ex GF and I had some girls who we would take to a really remote bar, where the main clientele was 60-70 year old couples. They were respectful. Old couples, and the girls made more money there than they did in town.

---

I can understand this. As someone who used to work in a club and knows the atmosphere, do you have any recommendations to get more attention from the women? Any recommendations on how to get any "extras"? Any recommendations on how to identify the women in the club who are open to those "extras", mostly bj's, and being more physical? Compared to the women who will try to throw you out if you even touch them once?

Any recommendations on identifying the women there who you might have a chance to get to know?

Sad, desperate places.

And I used to spend a lot of time in one as a doorguy.

I learned to really loathe the clientele.

---

I find this interesting and appreciate your perspective. Can you elaborate what you hate about the clientele?

I get that strip clubs doesn't bring out the best in pretty much anyone. I know there's probably a higher than average amount of a*sholes. But the clientele as a whole is terrible?

What do you say about the men like me in their 40s who are just looking for companionship for awhile?

My honest thought is that $150-$200 will be about 45 min of fun you’d regret. It’s a $500 minimum, and must include a bj to be considered a success

---

Why do you think it would be 45 minutes of fun I would regret?

The strip club I would probably go to, they usually do specials on Friday nights of 3 dances for $60. After that, I would probably negotiate a bj to make it better.

In the past I've usually been in and out of strip clubs. I'll tip the dancers on the floor but not a lot unless I want them to know I'm interested in more and for them to come over. I agree you have to go in knowing exactly what you are wanting.

Fun when ur in your in early 20s going out with the boys to drink.

Going by yourself, spending lots of money, or going regularly, major loser red flags.

---

I know, and that's what makes me a little sad about it. I'm probably one of the absolute stereotypes for a strip club regularly (though I haven't gone regularly in several years and haven't even been to one in just over a year). 41, middle aged, slightly overweight, single, lonely at times and no real genuine prospects for the most part.

I've had to essentially accept that if I want attention or sex going forward from women, I'm paying for it. At least it's an honest transaction.

You could stay at home, watch porn and burn some twenties. Less chance of getting an STD.

---

Very true, though I think porn has somewhat caused the ED issues I've had in the last year or two. I think it screwed up my sex drive. :lol: Went to my doctor who said my testosterone was in the tank. Now I'm on Clomid 25mg every day and I do have Tadalafil as needed. Might take one of those here shortly.

play your cards right and that’s a bbbj in the boom boom room with the right girl instead of sharing your time with two

The strip club I would probably go to, I've been several times before and had 2 girls give me bj's. With that said, no clue if any of them still work there and of course it's always hit and miss with a girl you haven't experienced before. Some are up for almost anything and others are prudes.

Honestly, kind of bored today just watching football. I haven't had the urge to in awhile, but being a holiday weekend and living just outside of Orlando, kind of having the urge to drive over to Tampa tonight and go to a strip club.

And before anyone asks, I'm not married and don't have a girlfriend, so no cheating involved.

There is that impulse for me to go tonight. With that said, it's always unfortunate how quickly you spend money in a place like that. While I love it in the moment, afterwards I think sometimes you feel ripped off. I wouldn't bring much, probably $150-$200 and then be done. Probably do lap dances with 2 different girls. No more than probably 2 hours in the strip club itself.

If I go, it will be to one of the strip clubs where it's full nudity and you are allowed to touch and be physical with the girls. Not just one of the topless ones, to me those are absolutely a waste of money.

But what are your thoughts on strip clubs? Do any of you all still go? Do you go regularly, a few times a year, every few years? Not worth the price?
