Yeah, definitely. Many of the guys in there just want a girl to talk to. They buy them amazingly overpriced drinks so they’ll sit next to them and let them talk about whatever. A good stripper is also a pretty decent psychologist.
LOL’d at this one
ha! that’s a good point… but to be specific, I don’t mind nurturing if I am getting paid for it. I don’t care how sad the guy is… if he is not paying, I’m off to my corner to read the Economist. I’m introverted and I can’t have him using up all my social energy. In my every day life, if I see someone crying I’m going to run the other way and hope they didn’t see me.
so yea… good actress 
When I get to Philly (probably in June, btw), you’re going to give me the most emotionaless lap dance of all time.
hahaaa! I will start practicing. One Vulcan dance coming up.
Here’s the plan, instead of buying a dance by the song, I’ll read you EOC questions. Let’s make it Ethics just to be extra odd.
My now bi-weekly plug for The Rational Optimist by Ridley. Very relevant to the thread topic. Talks about what really advances society and our standard of living. Defines what that actually means as well. Always lame to read someone trying develop a point when others have thoroughly explored the concept. That’s why reading is a good idea. You would look fairly silly trying to invent a bicycle. I guess you might feel good if you succeed, but you really are so far behind.
Yo STL – I’ll be in Phili in June too…all the ingredients for an AF Eiffel Tower, yay!
Sweet. AF meet-up at KMD’s place of business.
I don’t buy it. How is it different from dating then? That’s what (ime) guys do when they date - use you as an auditory spunge…
dating usually isn’t all about the guy. in da club it’s known by both parties that it’s all about the guy.
^never happened
Happy now, OP? Look at what your thread produced. So much wisdom, opportunity and ideas.
the mind fairly reels.
You know exactly what the difference is…there are several actually:
-
These (likely depressed) guys can’t get dates
-
They know exactly where to go (the club) to find a girl that will talk to them
-
They talk about things you wouldn’t tell a potential partner. Not necessarily messed up stuff (though that probably happens too), just getting stuff off their chest, complaining about work and whatnot, etc. Basically, they’re paying the dancers to listen and leave.
-
As an added bonus, the girls are usually hot and wearing very little clothing. This helps. You may have the first part down, but I doubt you go out on dates wearing just fishnets and a corset.
And of course, often with a women that has the optimization of being out of their league or conveniently no strings attached (you can walk away and not feel bad about it)
And revenue generating opportunites for KMD.
1,2 and 3 - wow I didn’t realize the strip clubs are so sad. Not the way they are portrayed in the movies.
- yeah that didn’t occur to me even though I love corsets. I shall visit that Goth store around union square soon

I was not expecting all celebral replies. However, just as water does, conversations do get steered towards the easiest path. Understandably, once a stripper path of discussion opened up, every other point of view became immediately redundant.
BTW, I was fairly certain that no woman would ever watch MM.
Why would you assume that? It was my wife that got me into the show after the first season. And there were plenty of women around the office that talked about it.
What an odd thing to say…
