The dancers are there because they can make incredible money. NoVA does not have many great clubs. However, the dancers are model-caliber beautiful if you go to Dallas or Houston. The dancers learn to act as if they find the men paying them to dance attractive. They become very good at it since they practice on several men a night for five or six nights a week for years. The men attending these clubs make much bigger mistakes than the dancers. These men often believe that a dancer "likes" them and they will spend hundreds (or thousands) on them when they should know that the dancer likes only their money. |
Super. Why did Op post then? Or you? |
| Strip clubs - I support single mothers! |
Say no more. I'd be back the next weekend. |
| She must be turned on by women. That's the only reason I can think of. |
Most women have a little bit of a lesbian streak in them. This gives them an outlet, with their male partner present so they don't feel threatened. Also, many men have a menage fantasy, so this is like a PG rated version of it. Women are also competitive. We like to see what other women turn our man on and try to emulate their features or style. Seeing which strippers you like is data-mining your desires.

The trafficking happens in the "massage" places, not the strip clubs. Now many dancers are drug addicts, due to the depressing nature of the work and the odd hours, they often turn to dopamine releasing drugs such as stimulants. |
I don't drink or do drugs or gamble. My wife and I both like a strip club visit and we both go. We talk about how much money we spend and make sure it's in the budget before we go. It's expensive, but it could be worse. I could have bought a boat. |
| I only support the women who are stripping their way through med school. All others, I close my eyes until their set is done. |
That's when they lift your wallet. |
| I’m curious if anyone goes to that strip climb on K street near the st Regis. I walk by it twice a day and never see anyone going in or out although sometimes I see the bouncer and sometimes I see dancers going in. It seems surprisingly to me they can run a business with that little traffic. They often have signs out about sales. I’m a little irked we lost half the sandwich shops during the pandemic yet that place miraculously stays open. |
| My buddy's girlfriend used to work at a strip club. The stories were crazy. Lots of addicts. Lots of drama. My buddy's girlfriend eventually broke up with him and started dating another dancer. |
You don’t know that. |

Depressing and pathetic - for the guys who need to do this to get off, and sad for the dancers who feel selling their body is the only way they can make a living.
And that's if it's not awful and they're being forced/trafficked/pimped |

I’m just having fun, on stage in my heels, it’s where I belong
Down at the Pink Pony Club! |
