One of the things I love about TH-cam is that it has given people like yourself the ability to share your stories instead of only having to listen to the talking heads spewing the approved propaganda.
Going to a strip club is like going through the drive thru when you’re starving, paying an exorbitant amount for stale food, only for them to dangle it in front of your face and you drive away still hungry.
I've heard it expressed similarly - you go to a restaurant, but you have to pay $100 to look at the menu and the food, but they don't actually serve any food.
Being a bouncer for 6 years changed me forever . Can't be in crowded venues, can't sit with back to entrances, don't trust humans, always have to find a corner to watch the room, can't get drunk - a part of your brain is always switched on.. to name a few.
Man, respect to you for willing to admit that you eventually succumbed to the offer to dance for 500 pound. I think you could have left that bit of the story out and nobody would have thought twice but your willingness to be transparent is admirable.
I was an Uber driver for a year in Phoenix. I realized after a while that picking up the drunk guys at the strip club at 4 AM was usually the best ride to get. They were just like you described. Very nice, sweet, young innocent men. they would always joke about how much money they just lost. Tell it was just guys who were super awkward with women, but wanted that girlfriend connection. I would also occasionally take the dancers home. They were conceited party girls who didn’t care about anyone who were the opposite of sweet.
Yeah, my mom was a dispatcher for a cab company for many years, she told me the drivers hated picking up girls from the strip clubs. Like dancers, hair dressers etc., cab drivers are private contractors who pay the cab company a fee each shift that doesn't include gas, cleaning and so on so it was entirely possible on a slow night to work a 12 hour shift and actually lose money. So the dancers should be sympathetic to the drivers needing to get paid, right? Wrong! Even though they had probably just made several hundred dollars or more, bragged about it, at the end of the ride they wanted it free for the privilege of being a hot girl or maybe for a quick flash or watch two of them play with each other for a bit. When the drivers said no, they need the fare- the girls became whiny, petulant or just down right nasty to them. Didn't even think about the body glitter clean up factor.
One time the girl really liked me. We really had a connection. I’ll never forget you Diamond Fantasia! Hardworking college girl studying to be a Doctor.
I've heard a few stories from friends that strippers were "really into" them and liked them so much that she organised to go on a date with them next week (but they're not allowed to give out their phone number) and when the girl didn't show (surprise, surprise) the guy will mope back to the club looking for her and she'd say "Oh I'm so sorry, I forgot." or "Oh babe I needed the extra shift and had to work tonight. Since you're here, do you want a private dance?" and string the guy along for months until he realises it's just a sales technique.
I know this might be a weird compliment but you are a good story teller. You set the scene for an interesting look to an industry not a lot of people see.
@@thatgearguy A career barman w/ experience in "The Industry" I'll attest to Mr Shaw that a lot more people catch "interesting looks" than they ever let on to in confession --- women included.
Funny how the common lie society wants you to believe is that the dancers are poor helpless victims when in reality that's more often the customers that they prey upon.
They are victims and predators at the same time., They were victims as children, stuck in child mental states in adult sexy bodies, now praying on weak men.
When my daughters were young, another mom of their friend had a sewing business making outfits for strippers. She took over for her mom. She enjoyed it , liked the girls but when her husband visited her at a costume fitting in the club once, all the ladies swarmed her husband. She asked them before the visit to back off her man. They totally disregarded her.
They are some of the worst women. My best friend had a son get married to a stripper and I was as horrified as the parents were. Of course she dumped him within a year and a half.
If they have a drug habbit, these women can be horrible not only like that but top each other. Some of the things they do in jail, they are so much more nasty than the men ever are Newcastle Australia 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
🤣 I can hear them, now. "Ooh! You're cute!" Should have schooled him to politely say was working there with his wife and not one of the customers, that he's not buying drinks or lap dances. That would typically make them lose interest since their "flirting" is all about draining pockets of qualified marks. It's a business and most don't want to waste time where there's no financial upside.
@@melindadurchholz3738 : Well, pretty tacky. But, they're strippers, though I'd consider that on the low end of even stripper behavior. Sadly, most of them are broken.
A friend of mine was a dancer, said that about 90 percent of the women are L's, many of them dont like men, and will drain every cent they can from them. A small percentage are dropped off by guys and make their money for some guy who is their "boyfriend", and a very small percentage use it to advance themselves by paying for college and such, but that is a very small percentage.
yea forget where i read it. but theirs a psychology penis envy thing going on in some women where they think just cause were men and have a clear advantage in life means they can trick, steal, take advantage of us.
I submit that if this were anyone's livelihood it could be challenging to see the best in men who simply look at them as if they were a porkchop who owed them something. Interesting the resentment on this thread about women who may not have had a lot of other opportunities practice unfettered capitalism to pay their bills. For grown azzz men who frequent such clubs and then complain that they did not receive whatever they felt 'entitled' to and that the women were transactional, I only can come up with one word: DUH!!
@@FlorenceLamb, you didn't watch the video? I'm asking because you're obviously talking about a stereotype, not about people who really go to places like that.
And monetizing teenage horniness. The only time I've been in a strip club was when I was very young. I just sat there and drank my beer and watched. One of the girls still got offended by me and threw a drink at me. She missed and soaked my friend. I have no idea what set her off.
Mostly yes but some people coming through town for a night just like to see some nice boobs and a nice can. It's nice to see them dance sexy and have a nice bod. Most girls these days let themselves go at a young age. Seeing a chick that's fit, hot and can work a pole is nice to see every now and then. 😊
no disrespect meant at all by this question: how do you date someone for a year and not know what she does for work? did she outright lie or you just didnt look too much into it? again, zero disrespect intended
I was a county sheriff for 10 years. We had a strip joint on the edge of an Indian reservation and it was bar none the roughest place I’ve ever had to go into. The girls were all Native, some underage, most on drugs and all were turning tricks. We finally told the owner that no shit will be tolerated anymore so he hired a bunch of goons to keep the peace. It got 10 times worse when they started. He finally went to prison for human trafficking.
@@leftseat30 good old Ft Yates on the ND side of the Standing rock Indian reservation. Pretty sure that club has switched hands about 80 times since then. Tribal police were corrupt as hell and had to have federal marshals intervene , makes the mafia look like the Boy Scouts. I was fresh out of the academy and got a real quick education in how reservations really work.
@risinbison1106 I grew up around the reservations and went to school with tribal kids. Its obviously a hugely touchy subject so I'll lead with love so to speak...I think the tribal people are having the worst time of any demographic in america, but since it's bascially confined to the country and poor people like me, no one really evens knows about this situation. I can't imagine policing on or near a reservation. I know of one cop who shot a kid ---the kid coming at him with a knife---I am pretty sure a verified "good" shoot after the review....and the tribe still went for the "throat" of that cop. That was just too far for me!! I lost so much respect for the tribe after that....
@@leftseat30 I can’t think of a people, full disclosure my grandfather is Lakota Sioux, that has had more misery brought upon on it by others and sadly, by itself. Reservations are a never ending cycle of dependency, they’re given enough government money to survive but too much to want to better their lives. Tribal councils, in the area I worked, are corrupt, give kickbacks and have their own enforcement that keeps them in power. I hated going onto the res because I knew it wasn’t going to end well because their system is just too well engrained generation after generation. I seriously don’t know how to end this other than the government just giving them the land and cutting all assistance and say you’re on your own but I know that’s never going to happen. What happens on the res is a closely guarded secret and most of the violent crimes are never reported, it’s just the way it is.
Probably the same in U.S. strip clubs. I always tell guys that the women do not like you and just want your money but they don't listen. If a stripper agrees to date you it's because she's trying to wring every penny she can out of you. The lives of most strippers are a mess and you don't want to take that on.
An old friend of mine, who was somewhat of a loser, started dating a stripper. I politely told him to be careful. 2nd date, she tells him she had ovarian cancer and couldn't afford treatment. Smh
I worked in 2 places Orlando.gov 2009, 10+ weeks summer. I wasn't security directly but saw a LOT 😟 . Many "dancers" had 0 rap, 0 game. They acted like they were doing the male customers a big favor. 25-35% of the guys even said directly to me the dancers were bad, not worth the $$$. Only 10-15% of the women were decent looking. 2-3 I had close contact with. Not sex but a few clearly wanted male attention. A few were messes. Like Jerry Springer show bad.
I worked in strip clubs here in the states for around 22 yrs...after the military. I stopped around 2016 or so. Some were very large 30-40 dancers a night ( on weekends more often ). Others weren’t quite so large. But i always made good money. Which is the exact same reason that it’s hard for dancers to quit! I only worked at two nightclubs that were not stripclubs! One in a college town when I was in the military. And the other was in a large military town after I had gotten out! A gym buddy of mine owned it and they had some pretty big concerts there. So I got to sit at the front on the stage and just watch the crowd and listen to the music until someone came over the barricades! Not a bad gig at all! Got to see and meet Godsmack, Stained, Candlebox, Buckcherry, Bush to name a few. I think it’s proven fact ( at least it is to me, lol ) that you have way more fights in regular nightclubs than stripclubs. Customers run into guys they grew up with and dislike , guys that dated their girl, guys that want to get with their girl, guys that did their sister wrong, played on a different rugby squad etc...To whereas in a stripclub everybody’s there to see the same naked women! Every now and then you’ll get a guy who thinks he’s special and thinks that “ she really loves him and only him” and he’ll get all bent out of shape about it, or some guys get too drunk and try and show off. But most of the problems are jealous boyfriends who haven’t figured out how to deal with their girl being a stripper yet, OR , an ex boyfriend coming in with friends and acting like a fool and making the dancer ( his ex ) feel uncomfortable Or the little punk drug dealers who try to get some ass for some weed! I had dual roles in some clubs, mgr.and security, others just one or the other. Never worked the door ( well, a few times actually) ! Firstly I hated it, lol. Second, I probably would’ve hurt the clubs money, because I didn’t like a lot of nonsense ( code for short tempered ) and to pat down and/or wand someone you always heard a bunch of mouth about it! So, the few times I did on a couple of occasions work the door, I just told problem guys, look if you’re that much problem here at the door, I don’t need you inside the club because we’re gonna have to deal with you then, and it’s just not worth the door fee so just go ahead and leave now! As far as the girls go...we run across ALL TYPES! You’ve got the professional strippers, who do it for a living and don’t care about anything else, they live, eat, sleep and breathe stripping, have a hundred outfits and boots and heels and wigs etc...and will most likely go from that to sex work ( or Walmart, lol ) because they never learned another skill set. These are the girls who hope to meet their future rich husband in the club..Then you have the chicks who are separated from husbands or boyfriends and have a kid (or five, lol) that had to find a way to make money quickly and probably had a friend who talked them into trying it. They don’t really like it but they kind of start to like the attention ( and money ) so they’re still there 5 yrs later talking about quitting, lol !!! Then there’s the very FEW ( I might’ve had 2 at one time in the same club but usually more like just 1 ) who are actually going to college ( like Sooooo many of them claim to be ) and they’re doing it because it’s damn good money and they can work it around school...these usually pick a club in a larger town within driving distance, but not too close to where they actually live or go to School! Hoping not to be noticed by friends or relatives! I had one of these girls dive off stage one night, right into my arms because she saw her uncle walk in the door! I caught her and she hit the floor running in her 5” heels like a damn track star, 😂! Then there’s the hotel skanks! These are the girls who usually live in a hotel and need to make enough to pay for their rooms and are mostly drunks or addicted to something and usually go eat at a Waffle House every night after work and then go to Walmart and spend every dime they made that night! These girls usually have boyfriends who are more sorry than they are and take them to work ( usually on the girls own car ) then they take some of her money and her car and go buy weed or get drunk somewhere else and cheat on them then come pick them up from work at closing...AND YEP, these are one of our biggest problems. Those idiots come back and get in an argument with their girl, she’ll hit him, or he’ll hit her and WE have to deal with it. Sometimes the money just doesn’t seem worth the BS you deal with! Most, not all, clubs I worked at had a policy of NO boyfriends inside the club or sitting in the parking lot waiting for hours! But contrary to public opinion strippers aren’t all dumb. They don’t all tell us they have a boyfriend! We hear the roommate, brother, gay friend, brother in law BS a lot and we have to decipher the truth from the BS. But there are certainly the good times and upside to the job. Meet A LOT OF PEOPLE from all different walks of life. Date ( sleep with ) MARRY (Ugghhh, what an idiot) some of the best looking women around , that most guys watch porn to see or can only come pay to see naked! We have a lot of time for the gym, not to mention the hookups from friends who are bouncing at other nightclubs ( getting in and drinking free ) when we’d go out. It’s kind of like a fraternity...we all know each other ( our girls know each other, they’re usually all bartenders, waitresses or dancers) where we each work, who’s good at the job, who might get you themselves or someone else hurt! Who can definitely handle themselves, and those who “ Think” they can etc...I never had a bouncer job stay vacant for more than a day! I always knew someone that was either looking for a spot or was ready or thinking about leaving the club they were at currently. I fired a guy one night and called a buddy at another club to ask him if he’d be interested, that crazy fool quit right then and came and finished the night out at our club! LOL...I had some fantastic times that I’ll never forget in the different clubs I worked in...some bad times...aggravating times and some downright scary times! Me and this dude could talk for days about our experiences in the “entertainment industry” as we call it, lol. If I have/had any advice for someone considering going to work security or another spot in a nightclub, it would be this! We all started by having to clean up vomit at some point from a urinal, it can’t all be glitz and glamor, and NO ONE deserves to die in a bar fight! And don’t MARRY the dancers!!! That’s mostly for me to remember! LMFAO
Had a buddy of mine who was a DJ at a strip club. We used to say “you’re lucky to be surrounded by all those beautiful strippers”, and then he told us the truth. He said that most were entitled toddlers in adult bodies. Most were either alcoholics or drug addicts, and pretty well all were tied up with motorcycle gangs in one way or another. They’re damaged goods. He used to try and break up cat fights, but got to learn that it was futile and he would end up getting the worst of it. Instead, he would just stand back and let nature take it’s course. Can’t say as I blame him. He only worked there for a few months, and when he left he said he’d miss the money but definitely not the drama.
I dated a stripper for about a year on and off. She was definitely not a helpless victim. She was mentally unstable in the deepest way. Beautiful on the outside, really really disturbed and confused on the inside. It’s was actually really heartbreaking to watch her decline. Not sure now, but I know she ended up hooked on drugs. Wonder if she’s still alive?
I started out as security for a stirp club in South Florida. After roughly 15 years, I worked my way up to ownership partner. Most of the girls were very well educated, self-supporting students. Maintaining the "girlfriend experience" illusion is paramount. At closing time, the parking lot was cleared of stragglers, then a mandatory 20 minute "all-clear" time was imposed before the ladies were escorted to their cars by security. The dressing room was an entirely different experience. Keep in mind, naturally a group of women who spend a considerable amount of time together they tend to synchronize their biological functions. So,.... bluntly speaking, you could easily have 20 girls all on PMS psychosis. Not fun.
Before army; I worked in a night club. After working a year; helping whatever needed in club. The nights, I had to assist security. Turned me off completely to going to places just like it. Gentleman clubs; night clubs, dark buildings loud music lots of drinking. There’s one night in my youth working at a night club; when I realized, human nature is nasty. Then went to sign up for Army, I was so disgusted working in that environment.
Lmao, went from "nasty sexual industry" to "nasty violence industry". At least, the second industry is male dominated and men like hierarchy, structure and don't have PMS.
You went to join the only thing worse than working at a nightclub? At least in the club, you can choose to go back outside. Most times, the army is a one-way ticket to hell! Actually, I have never met a happy soldier, and I live near and have worked on multiple bases.
@@BlackopolypsePodcastsandMedia Pretty ironic. I’m active duty military. Guys I know who get out end up working security at clubs. It’s like the opposite of this guy’s story.
The guy sitting next to me on a flight once was a bartender at a strip club. In our conversation much of this same content came up. In addition, something not mentioned in this video that the bartender strongly emphasized: Never date a stripper and God forbid absolutely never get one pregnant. He described several case histories of men he had known who managed to ruin their lives by doing so. Albeit there may be exceptions to the rule but the odds ain’t worth it.
I worked as a bouncer then later handled the photography and marketing for 2 clubs. You think I would know better, but ended up engaged to an ex-stripper for a few months. She was a grifter deluxe. Luckily I got out relatively unscathed. Not all men are as fortunate.
@@MegaJackpinesavageimagine comparing sexual assault or being blackmailed for sex until you lose work to... poor choice of gf who doesnt have access to a legit stream of income? Man up and move on. You're not a victim.
@@sarahharris2729 Man up & move on? Uffda! No, I'm not a victim, but I've helped working girls jettison The Trade a lot faster than Andrea Dworkin could ever "Take Back the Night!". Feminists march & rant a feisty game, but fall way short when it comes to making a real commitment --- hence working girls & dancers don't trust them, able to spot a sapphic come on a mile away. Even women can't trust women these days --- imagine that!
@sarahharris2729 OH please . This is discussion of legal businesses it isn't rape and trafficking. It's people like you lying about things like this that causes women that get raped or trafficked to be ignored.
Well when I bounced I was already a street hoodlum, so bouncing was almost either normal or a small break I got to do fun stuff and get paid for. Cleaned up my life 15 years ago and never looked back. Don't miss it. Well, maybe a little every once in a while.
I was not able to understand the OnlyFans (why would you pay for something which is free online). After watching this I have finally got it. It's not about porn, it's all about the company and attention. Simps will be simping.
Had stripper friends tell me they switched to OF during the pandemic. The regulars who would go to their club just switched to paying the monthly for their only fans out of support
I dated a few of the dancers (none of them did drugs). A few (not all) made a gross amount of money, some women in NJ, were reluctant to get another job. I did not meet any of them at the club, and some I never saw dance. But I did not like the strip clubs. Two of the women made great money, and the others eventually quit. Shockingly, one 41 year old dancer, died of a heart attack, and another dancer got deported (ouch). You are right. Some of the girls could never change careers, as some were making too much as dancers. one woman, got two degrees. blond hair, blue eyed, nice figure, she could never stop dancing, because the money she made was just gross.
Maybe. But a lot of fun. You can waste money in lots of different ways in the name of having fun, you know. In fact, is it really a waste if you're having a good time? As long as you can control it.
@@kentclark6420had friends who would always rather waste money at a casino play slots. If I'm losing money either way I'd rather look at girls slots and do shots
40 years ago, 63 now, I worked security for a so called talent agent who booked strippers to perform in various clubs. It actually was a good job, no real drama, I would pick up 3 or 4 strippers from their homes, take them to a club and watch over them until they were finished. Then I would drive them all home. Made 100 bucks a night, 40 years ago. Never really had any issues and they were all very pleasant, down to earth girls. Only problems were other so called talent agents trying to muscle in on territory, never amounted to much because the clubs we dealt with wanted quality girls which we had and the other talent agents were more like pimps.
I dated a 38yo ex-stripper for a few months when I was in my mid 20s. We both worked the same retail job. It was an absolute nightmare. She seemed exactly like the girls you were talking about here. She was still playing those games with men. She still had guys on the side that would give her money.
There is an escorting element to it, most of them take on "clients" outside the club environment. I've dated dancers too in the past and even recently.
@LegsON In case you didn't know it's the same term they use in Canada and USA. Escort=prostitute. You may have not heard that before depending on what country you are in. It's not a term I made up fool.
Funny that, I've now gone to a job that everyone tells me must be the worst in the world, and yet it's the best job I've ever had. Perceptions versus reality!
Never could relax at nightclubs when I was younger. I wasn't a bouncer but obnoxiously loud music, expensive drinks and cover charges, girls getting their boyfriends into fights, seeing people glassed and kicked in the head. I often wondered how people enjoyed themselves here when it just felt uncomfortable and very hostile.
You went to the wrong club, the club I went to when I was younger only had one fight when I was there and it was quickly broken up and sorted. Good vibe, good music and hot-ass girls.
I’m surprised that anybody is surprised at these stories. You’re dealing with people who are morally bankrupt. They lead messy lives and associate with unsavory people. Shocker!
It's not as easy to identify morally bankrupt people as you make it sound. A lot of morally bankrupt people are thought to be paragons of virtue. Lots of people live a double life.
@@NotGoodAtNamingThings Uhm, we're talking about a strip club here...if you're taking your clothes off for money, you can make a pretty good guess about that person's character. The exception doesn't define the rule.
@@UseTheSupeRsonic - It's true that a good fraction of the workers and customers at such a place have unstable lives with lots of drama. I agree with you that no one should be surprised at the stories. I've been to strip clubs on exactly two occasions, once when dragged by a friend who found out I'd never been, the second for a bachelor party of a friend. I have no interest. I'm not going to defend the regulars or the workers. I don't feel the need to be morally superior to them either, though.
Actually, I find these stories tame. I knew a stripper who had 4 kids by 4 different men.. She contracted AIDS; this was back in the 80s, when nothing could be done about it. She married man #4, had baby #4 by him, gave him AIDS, then divorced him for being "too controlling". All the while, she bragged about being a strong woman.
Nightclub/Strip Club bouncer for 20+ years. Seeing the amounts of money and the things these men will do for these women. I had a doctor that would buy a girl a $20k engagement ring, buy her a car and never see her outside of the club. I have been wanting to post some videos telling my stories as well glad i found your videos.
I worked Security at a Japan / Chinese dance club for 2 years. You paid to dance or sit & drink. Its just like the strip club the girls would lead on the men thinking they would get some where they would blow all there money week after week . The girls were ruthless and mean, they would not give the men a second look outside the club but inside the kissed up big time. They were Beautiful Girls no dought but gold diggers. I learned a lot there about human nature working there , I learned Nice Guys Finish Last & Don't chase Girls.
How about, nice guys work hard on themselves, become successful and go and meet a woman who has done the same. In other words, going to a strip club to meet someone is a stupid idea, bound to end in failure.
My father loved strip clubs and brothels. He had a wife and kids at home who were struggling financially but he always had money for those places. 😢 Now he’s in his 70s, no property, no retirement, just SS and relatives to mooch off of. I cut him out of my life over a decade ago. I think it can be an addiction, or at least an escape for fragile egos. I’m so glad my mother went on to be a doctor and financially responsible. I had one good role model! One of my therapists told me that every client she had who was a stripper had been molested as children. Girl victims grow up believing their seggsuality was the only thing they had to offer. TD’s Showclub in ABQ also had the “full service” option for $300, if rumors are true.
There was a strange old card who used to come and see a few of us gals at " old ricks" in lake city way Seattle,WA.USA.

Were friends once briefly with the manager of a strip club, met some of the girls, had a drink their for my birthday, everything he said about the women is true, and they really are experts at fleecing men of their money.
Started off working behind the bar in the UK. Then as I filled out and became a pro-fighter and fight trainer I had the confidence, mindset and skillset to work in security - 'bouncer', 'personal', 'guard' etc... but the club scene was definitely - eclectic - at times you never knew what you were going to get. And you bet that everything you stated was standard. In every club environment I worked in, it was the women that usually were the catalyst for issues, and always about ego and manipulation. I never had a personal time of really 'clubbing' as it was always a job. So even if I went out with mates, it was like I was on the job, never really relaxing. It was as if you were a movie director that had the inside working knowledge, so it kind of spoiled many movies you would try and see because you were forever analysing with your movie director tinted glasses. It also made it hard to find fulfilling relationships with women because you were all too aware of what they were REALLY like when the veil dropped and they couldn't hide their true self. You are absolutely correct; the two girls out of 500 in my decades of experience is about right - they are so rare. You are also right that the girls get institutionalised.... but then again, I found so did I :) Thanks for the nostalgic trek....
@@fredhammer6413 I'm sorry my told experiences makes you feel so inadequate, that you feel the only course of action you can resort to is ad hominem.... but at the end of day friend, it is your problem and not mine ;)
VERYY INTERESTING! I was a male dancer (in Florida) years back and everything he is describing is true and similar to the place I worked at. We had to pay a "stage fee" when we arrived too. I treated it like a hair stylist, you made your good money from your regulars and then additional from walk ins (who could BECOME regulars!) My style would be to converse with these often lonely, nice, awkward men, which is what they wanted actually. Just someone to pay attention to them. The other dancers from Latin America who couldn't speak English well had to rely on their bodies and turn more tricks.
Everything you talked about is true. I've been through it all just like you. I worked in one club in Los Angeles for over four years and then not quite a year at a club in Hawai'i. I was a doorman, DJ, and manager. I even had to strip down to my underwear each year on my birthday for the dancers after the club closed. I made close to a thousand dollars each time. I would average about $500.00 per night in tips from the dancers. We had 75 girls on the roster and any night we could have between 40 and 75 girls working. Some did 4 hour shifts, some did 6 hour shifts. We had one large stage with two poles and two girls would share the stage for two songs. Then they could change outfits and they had to wait tables serving drinks while on the floor. Or they could sit with a customer if he is buying drinks and or paying for table dances. It's funny how you become so jaded from working in that business. Some dancers are so hot you never get tired of looking at them but most of them you've seen naked so many times and without makeup in baggy sweat pants and sweatshirts and you wouldn't look at them twice on the streets. We hear every line, every scam, every hustle, every lie, every complaint about how the customers are tipping and how they don't want to be there and can they go home. Then there aee the ones who leave without tipping the doorman, the dj and they will give the bartender's the smallest possible tip. And say they had a bad night forgetting or just too dumb to realize our job is to watch every girl all night and we see how much each girl is making so they are the ones who don't get any favors and don't get to dance to the full song because we cut it short so she really won't make any money. Our club had a capacity of just under 300 customers and it would be packed beyond capacity with a line outside with another 30 guys wanting in. It was a crazy place. We had business men, truckers, college frat boys, Black gang members, Latin gang members, White gang members, bikers from different gangs, construction workers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, rock stars, sports stars occasional actors, we had strippers from the the other local clubs come in and hang out, hookers weren't alliwed in if we knew they were hookers, we had two pool tables so we had the pool sharks hustling drunks, there would be fights almost every night, the cops would hang out in the parking lot and sonetimes come in for a coffee and talk to the girls and a lot of cops would come in in a group off duty and drink and get dances. I'm sure we could talk for hours about the different stories and the same stories we have. It was fun and it was also a job that could get dangerous real fast. And you learn a lot about women if you didnt know much before you started working in strip clubs. You get a whole new perspective on women, how they think about men, how they deal with other dancers, their promiscuity, their alcohol and drug habits, etc... It was a wild experience but just another small part of my extraordinary crazy life. Take it easy or any way you can get it. LOL
@@thatgearguy --- I hope life is being good or at least fair to you my brother? Both of our countries are fucked up right now and seems like us White men are blamed for everything. Stay well, be safe and don't comply
@@katiebragg4417 --- that's not always the case. I also know for sure that there is more cheating and more sex happening at clubs and private parties when women are interacting with male strippers. Way more. Married, engaged, etc... . Men may go to strip clubs with the thought of, wouldn't it be cool if I got to hook up with a dancer, but female dancers aren't there to fuck or be prostitutes. A few are there to see if they can turn a trick on the side. But the majority of clubs won't let the girls do anything that can get the club, the managers and or the owner in trouble with the ATF and or their city vice squad. They will pay heavy fines and have their personal manager's license 30 day suspension the first time. Sometimes they will shut the club down for a month or more. Huge loss of revenue for the owners and all employees, dancers, bar tenders
i worked at a number of strip clubs. i always preferred to be parking lot security. in general, more dangerous, but less hassle from the girls and people that really mattered. the largest club i worked at had 80 - 120 dancers on a weekend shift. the truest thing i learned there was the difference between a waitress and a dancer was 3 weeks. that is usually how long a waitress would put up with the nonsense for the no cents and become a dancer. with two adolescent girls of my own, it broke my heart at times to see some of the 18yr old girls get sucked into that environment. after awhile, especially with drug use, the girls are unable to "turn off the fake". in 30+ years as strip club security i dated 2 girls , each briefly, one was a single date. i went to many parties that would make charlie sheen speechless. the last stripper party i went to, i walked to the back of the house, near the pool, and a dancer i knew (to be a druggie) was trying to inject herself in the neck. immediately realized i did not want to be the last person standing when the cops, emts, etc showed up. never went to another stripper party.
They all smell in my experience, maybe not when they are new, but once they get in to it. I've met tons of prostitutes & strippers & they all douse themselves with fragrance to mask the inner smell that's always there. That odor is a deal breaker for me, just ends the attraction. I met 2 who smelled awesome, 1 in Fort Worth & another in Florida. I admire that they are able to do such a difficult job, but I would take a fat chick without much looks any day over odor thats unpleasant. I never hired one but you meet a lot of them in the jobs I do.
I dated a stripper once named Marmalade Sally and she smelled like copper pennies. She never used toothpaste, only baking powder and her teeth were white as snow. Everywhere Marmalade Sally danced her simps were sure to go.
Honestly if you really want to learn the true face of humanity, just work in the sex industry, does a real good job at showing just what's wrong with the current human condition, both men and women, just the sadness of being a man more than anything

@@bodhitree33 I used to brag about sleeping with a lot of women until my late 20s when I realized I scared away a lot of potential girls who could have been real relationships because I was focused on sex only from 22-26. Did myself a disservice in hindsight
Hearing these stories is exactly why I've never bothered with strip clubs or anything of the sort. No matter how sad and lonely I get I refuse to let myself ever pointlessly spend money on either being sexually frustrated or simulating a girlfriend experience in such a hollow way. No way no how.
@@juliehernandez80 --- YES. I HAD RETURNED FROM Germany . . . and thought I was still in a civil world, but . . . . Texas. The chain of command recommended a supply of booze, food, and a bimbo until PCS back to an overseas infantry unit.
I'm a former Chippendales dancer and that experience was completely opposite. It was a 2hr choreographed s broadway style stage show with lights and costume changes. It was a legit show. We didnt have to "hustle" for money/tips like the women typically do. Although we would go in the audience between numbers and do what's called "kiss and tips". We'd have security stand by the stage and our dressing rooms in order to prevent women from rushing the stage and sneaking in our dressing rooms. It was a wild time.

A college acquaintance got a stripper pregnant. His life turned into a nightmare overnight. $5k/mo child support, multiple baby daddies, domestic disputes, endless legal bills, and forever being known as the idiot who couldn’t keep it in his pants when a woman paid attention to him.
5k/month in child support? Dude you wat? I hope this is fake because average American income is like 4k a month or something. Also diapers don't cost that much, a child would cost a maximum of 300 dollars a month. Max

A few off my pals were working close to Soho, in the 80s, only 18/19 at the time, one day they went into a strip club, for a laugh. Birds wrapped round them ordering champagne, which was cheap supermarket crap, cost them a fortune that they couldn't pay? Was frog marched to the cash point, still wasn't enough, took their watches and jewellery. Lesson learnt for them and the rest of us to stay clear🤷
Did you ever see the story, probably in the Sun. That this happened to a young 17-18year old boy a few years ago. Got out of his depth with the drinks, was marched to the cash point and had his account emptied out and sent home. Next day his rather posh mum turns up at the Soho club, found the girl responsible and frog marched _her_ to the cash machine and got her son's money back. I hope the story was true.
@@ronmka8931 I liked the attention, there are also a lot of other dynamics to the relationship, but I won't bore you with that. Another reason was that I could, I never married her..

@@louispantke139 Wow 4 years, were you her ATM? A while back, I befriended one outside of the club and we hooked up once. Pretty girl with some good traits, but an overall mess. The mentality of using men for money is present outside of the club too with most of them. Not sure how a relationship with this type of person would work.
It was the thing back in the 70s and 80s about pimps and their hats. It was a respect thing. So they would refuse to take their head off therefore they could not come in.
@@tobyroyson9336 yep. There is nothing as good as a good gentleman's club. One time this smoking young woman just came up to me and started fresh kissing me. I couldn't believe it. It was a rush. I could had made out with her for hours. We were not even in VIP, it was in a corner. (And, she didn't even want a tip.) She must had been faded. A few times I was given hand jobs.(VIP room.) Several times when they "dry humpped" me during table dances I came. They are a fantasy thing. Just be a gentleman. Be respectful. Spread out your money- (don't spend it on one girl and try to make your money last through the night.) A few times strippers have asked me to go to there place after the club closed. (Free.) A lot of these comments project negative experiences at clubs, and there are at times. It's like life, sometimes things are good, sometimes not. Oh, and when I was active duty military, one of the guys in out Squadron started dating a fine stripper, and a few months they got married! Anyway- just don't get addicted to them brother. Peace. ✌🏽 oh, another thing is (at a nicer club) the grille (kitchen food) is fantastic. Buy a steak and potatoes. When you eat and eat healthy the hottiesthey don't come up and beg you for tips, lol.

SW isn't power. I don't suppose men would be happy if porn, sex clubs and escorts were banned. It's a privilege that many men abuse. It's only a "power" to women when they decide that they're also going to play the game, and not give men services at a reduced rate or be exploited
I think my ex Girlfriend had worked in a strip club! She admitted to me that she went for an audition and she was an ok ish pole dancer, she did a lap dance for me that was way too professional for someone who claimed to have never actually worked in one. She admitted heavy drinking and cocaine use in her past and that she’d taken a law degree but decided not to practice which i found unbelievable as she couldn’t even read the first 10 pages of Animal farm! She had a totally unrealistic view of money and how a man should shell out for her and how she could drop and dump you really cheaply. She had the behaviour of giving strange men a lewd glance so that they would think they could get some from her in front of me! They could literally have come off a sex offenders wing the previous day so oblivious she was to any danger. She wasn’t interested in any of these men (they were just objects used to boost her self esteem at the expense of mine) and would just walk off leaving me with them. This happened in some isolated areas too and from the things you’ve said in this video i believe she picked this risky behaviour up from working in a U.K strip club where she was used to the protection you speak of. Without me she couldn’t use public transport and had to drive everywhere! None of these things ever happened with another girl i dated and she lived in an area filled with impulsive men over a six year period of me going out with her; and she had many of the attributes those men lust over more than the pole dancer ex girlfriend and no man ever bothered us as she stood by my side and never gave lewd and suggestive glances. Thanks for your insights you shared with us in this video!
During my idiot days, whenever I asked a dancer her real name at this particular club, it was always either Stephanie or Jill. Finally stopped taking my stupid pills.
I think the best way to get along with an exotic dancer (I wouldn't rather say stripper) is to treat her as a woman herself. We may ask her about her hobbies, what kind of food she likes cooking, what else she does after performing, etcetera. She will realize that you are not any other jerk trying to get any BJ for free, but a man who knows how to treat women no matter what they do for a living.
Idk how I ended up here, but I'm glad I did. Cheers from the US, bro. You seem to be a very nice genuine guy interesting story, and you tell it so well.
Everything you said was SO true! I worked as a dancer for 12 years and it was the most toxic and interesting place to watch human nature play out. I’m grateful to be out as the environment was hard on my spirit and soul. 🤍 People always assume the guys were bad but they were not! The things girls have done have affected my trust in women.🥴😬 God is good.🙏🏻
But it takes a fool to become a wise man, because you don't know the myriad ways in which you're decieved and lead until you first render yourself vulnerable to ensnarement, that you might then understand and break the chains which burdened you.
I think many clubs probably do exploit the women. Plying them with drink, making then pay a huge percentage (40% at my old place), turning a blind eye to rampant drug use, and some girls are little more than kids (18). Equally there were sad vulnerable guys who got totally rinsed. The club was the only winner.
Modern men really are effeminate and ruined by porn. Women are now " abusive and narcissistic" because they are not accepting men's advances for sex or to date. What do you want? Girls to give you attention for free ?? Touch grass
@@jacquelineess1141such an ignorant statement. This can be said just about any victim. I bet if the genders were reversed you’d have a totally different opinion.
That's a good thing. The first time I ever went into one was for my 30th birthday (and it wasn't my idea). I went maybe two more times in life around that same period and that was it. I like girls, but strip clubs don't do it for me.

Las Vegas had a strip club in Industrial Rd., behind the old Stardust. The cops used to find passed out guys that security had thrown out. Most of the trouble started when guys found out their credit card had been padded, then if they complained, the rough stuff started. A biker had a shop next door to the club, so he was not happy having overflow with some guys tossed over on his property. He was a big fellow and had a few run ins with security at the strip club.
@@GuitaristDog87 Probably. I moved here in 1995 and did most sports betting at the Stardust The guy who owned the motorcycle repair shop was at County Commission meetings complaining many times. The shop was in Clark Co., not the City of Las Vegas. A lot of billion dollar hotels went up, and strip clubs became more expensive and glitzy. The motorcycle shop owner was an ex wrestler and a big guy, who didn't put up with the bouncers on his property.
LMAO @ the Chump Squad! 😂 In the 80's when I was young and dumb and full of energy, there was a time where I almost exclusively dated strippers or bar tenders in the Denver, CO USA area. This was way before cell phones and social media! The ones I dated were all attractive out of the club as well as on stage. I would also act as bachelor party security for some of them too.
And your club does sound good if you are saying the truth but most clubs I worked at the management wasn’t on your side whatsoever. Not the security not the manager. We actually had a story how some guy smashed a beer bottle on girls head and now she is paralyzed. The investigation didn’t go anywhere bc she was not legally in US. Also the club deleted the footage from the cameras. Yea
Worked at a peep show. First thing the manager warned me about was never trust the dancers. They were like children, constantly testing boundaries.
That’s because they have borderline personality disorder

Going to a strip club is like going through the drive thru when you’re starving, paying an exorbitant amount for stale food, only for them to dangle it in front of your face and you drive away still hungry.
Best metaphor I've heard all week
I've heard it expressed similarly - you go to a restaurant, but you have to pay $100 to look at the menu and the food, but they don't actually serve any food.
You can eat whats on the menu at both places, but fast food is cheaper and in this case actually better for you.
That's how they ensure you return
If you consider leaving after a hand relief akin to leaving hungry.
Being a bouncer for 6 years changed me forever . Can't be in crowded venues, can't sit with back to entrances, don't trust humans, always have to find a corner to watch the room, can't get drunk - a part of your brain is always switched on.. to name a few.

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I never thought about it like that, but it’s TRUE
I was an Uber driver for a year in Phoenix. I realized after a while that picking up the drunk guys at the strip club at 4 AM was usually the best ride to get. They were just like you described. Very nice, sweet, young innocent men. they would always joke about how much money they just lost. Tell it was just guys who were super awkward with women, but wanted that girlfriend connection. I would also occasionally take the dancers home. They were conceited party girls who didn’t care about anyone who were the opposite of sweet.
About sums it up.
It sums it up for the external world as well…
Yeah, my mom was a dispatcher for a cab company for many years, she told me the drivers hated picking up girls from the strip clubs. Like dancers, hair dressers etc., cab drivers are private contractors who pay the cab company a fee each shift that doesn't include gas, cleaning and so on so it was entirely possible on a slow night to work a 12 hour shift and actually lose money. So the dancers should be sympathetic to the drivers needing to get paid, right? Wrong! Even though they had probably just made several hundred dollars or more, bragged about it, at the end of the ride they wanted it free for the privilege of being a hot girl or maybe for a quick flash or watch two of them play with each other for a bit. When the drivers said no, they need the fare- the girls became whiny, petulant or just down right nasty to them.
Didn't even think about the body glitter clean up factor.

I've heard a few stories from friends that strippers were "really into" them and liked them so much that she organised to go on a date with them next week (but they're not allowed to give out their phone number) and when the girl didn't show (surprise, surprise) the guy will mope back to the club looking for her and she'd say "Oh I'm so sorry, I forgot." or "Oh babe I needed the extra shift and had to work tonight. Since you're here, do you want a private dance?" and string the guy along for months until he realises it's just a sales technique.

Funny how the common lie society wants you to believe is that the dancers are poor helpless victims when in reality that's more often the customers that they prey upon.
As I once have heard that every customer who walks into a strip club is seen as a walking ATM.
If you spend all your money at the peelers, you’re not a victim, you’re an idiot.
They are victims and predators at the same time., They were victims as children, stuck in child mental states in adult sexy bodies, now praying on weak men.

Women have been putting men into the trick bag since the beginning of time. It’s these simps that want to save a ho-ho-ho.
When my daughters were young, another mom of their friend had a sewing business making outfits for strippers. She took over for her mom. She enjoyed it , liked the girls but when her husband visited her at a costume fitting in the club once, all the ladies swarmed her husband. She asked them before the visit to back off her man. They totally disregarded her.
They are some of the worst women. My best friend had a son get married to a stripper and I was as horrified as the parents were. Of course she dumped him within a year and a half.
If they have a drug habbit, these women can be horrible not only like that but top each other. Some of the things they do in jail, they are so much more nasty than the men ever are

🤣 I can hear them, now. "Ooh! You're cute!" Should have schooled him to politely say was working there with his wife and not one of the customers, that he's not buying drinks or lap dances. That would typically make them lose interest since their "flirting" is all about draining pockets of qualified marks. It's a business and most don't want to waste time where there's no financial upside.
@ricfax They came in together . The ladies knew he was her husband. It didn’t matter to them.
@@melindadurchholz3738 : Well, pretty tacky. But, they're strippers, though I'd consider that on the low end of even stripper behavior. Sadly, most of them are broken.
A friend of mine was a dancer, said that about 90 percent of the women are L's, many of them dont like men, and will drain every cent they can from them. A small percentage are dropped off by guys and make their money for some guy who is their "boyfriend", and a very small percentage use it to advance themselves by paying for college and such, but that is a very small percentage.
Most women today in general are lesbian just undercover
yea forget where i read it. but theirs a psychology penis envy thing going on in some women where they think just cause were men and have a clear advantage in life means they can trick, steal, take advantage of us.
if you pay attention you see that in the clubs. The women who are strickly business and aggressive are usually the ones
I submit that if this were anyone's livelihood it could be challenging to see the best in men who simply look at them as if they were a porkchop who owed them something. Interesting the resentment on this thread about women who may not have had a lot of other opportunities practice unfettered capitalism to pay their bills. For grown azzz men who frequent such clubs and then complain that they did not receive whatever they felt 'entitled' to and that the women were transactional, I only can come up with one word: DUH!!

I was a county sheriff for 10 years. We had a strip joint on the edge of an Indian reservation and it was bar none the roughest place I’ve ever had to go into. The girls were all Native, some underage, most on drugs and all were turning tricks. We finally told the owner that no shit will be tolerated anymore so he hired a bunch of goons to keep the peace. It got 10 times worse when they started. He finally went to prison for human trafficking.
i always saw these strip clubs as SCAMS. i always watched p0r n since i was 13 (now 47). no video has ever scammed me. how nice!
Where was that...approximately? If you dont mind....I'll be fair and go first....grew up in far northern Wisconsin lots of tribes around there
@@leftseat30 good old Ft Yates on the ND side of the Standing rock Indian reservation. Pretty sure that club has switched hands about 80 times since then. Tribal police were corrupt as hell and had to have federal marshals intervene , makes the mafia look like the Boy Scouts.

@risinbison1106 I grew up around the reservations and went to school with tribal kids. Its obviously a hugely touchy subject so I'll lead with love so to speak...I think the tribal people are having the worst time of any demographic in america, but since it's bascially confined to the country and poor people like me, no one really evens knows about this situation. I can't imagine policing on or near a reservation. I know of one cop who shot a kid ---the kid coming at him with a knife---I am pretty sure a verified "good" shoot after the review....and the tribe still went for the "throat" of that cop. That was just too far for me!! I lost so much respect for the tribe after that....

Reservations are a never ending cycle of dependency, they’re given enough government money to survive but too much to want to better their lives. Tribal councils, in the area I worked, are corrupt, give kickbacks and have their own enforcement that keeps them in power. I hated going onto the res because I knew it wasn’t going to end well because their system is just too well engrained generation after generation. I seriously don’t know how to end this other than the government just giving them the land and cutting all assistance and say you’re on your own but I know that’s never going to happen. What happens on the res is a closely guarded secret and most of the violent crimes are never reported, it’s just the way it is.
Probably the same in U.S. strip clubs. I always tell guys that the women do not like you and just want your money but they don't listen. If a stripper agrees to date you it's because she's trying to wring every penny she can out of you. The lives of most strippers are a mess and you don't want to take that on.
An old friend of mine, who was somewhat of a loser, started dating a stripper. I politely told him to be careful.
2nd date, she tells him she had ovarian cancer and couldn't afford treatment. Smh
I worked in 2 places Orlando.gov 2009, 10+ weeks summer. I wasn't security directly but saw a LOT 😟 . Many "dancers" had 0 rap, 0 game. They acted like they were doing the male customers a big favor. 25-35% of the guys even said directly to me the dancers were bad, not worth the $$$. Only 10-15% of the women were decent looking. 2-3 I had close contact with. Not sex but a few clearly wanted male attention. A few were messes. Like Jerry Springer show bad.
You’re right. But for truckers who have no life outside the sleeper cab and truck stops, they are the closest thing to relationships
@@your_very_bestthat’s so true
You basically described marriage. There is no difference between a stripper and a wife. At least you're not legally bound to a dancer.
I worked in strip clubs here in the states for around 22 yrs...after the military. I stopped around 2016 or so. Some were very large 30-40 dancers a night ( on weekends more often ). Others weren’t quite so large. But i always made good money. Which is the exact same reason that it’s hard for dancers to quit! I only worked at two nightclubs that were not stripclubs! One in a college town when I was in the military. And the other was in a large military town after I had gotten out! A gym buddy of mine owned it and they had some pretty big concerts there. So I got to sit at the front on the stage and just watch the crowd and listen to the music until someone came over the barricades! Not a bad gig at all! Got to see and meet Godsmack, Stained, Candlebox, Buckcherry, Bush to name a few. I think it’s proven fact ( at least it is to me, lol ) that you have way more fights in regular nightclubs than stripclubs. Customers run into guys they grew up with and dislike , guys that dated their girl, guys that want to get with their girl, guys that did their sister wrong, played on a different rugby squad etc...To whereas in a stripclub everybody’s there to see the same naked women! Every now and then you’ll get a guy who thinks he’s special and thinks that “ she really loves him and only him” and he’ll get all bent out of shape about it, or some guys get too drunk and try and show off. But most of the problems are jealous boyfriends who haven’t figured out how to deal with their girl being a stripper yet, OR , an ex boyfriend coming in with friends and acting like a fool and making the dancer ( his ex ) feel uncomfortable Or the little punk drug dealers who try to get some ass for some weed! I had dual roles in some clubs, mgr.and security, others just one or the other. Never worked the door ( well, a few times actually) ! Firstly I hated it, lol. Second, I probably would’ve hurt the clubs money, because I didn’t like a lot of nonsense ( code for short tempered ) and to pat down and/or wand someone you always heard a bunch of mouth about it! So, the few times I did on a couple of occasions work the door, I just told problem guys, look if you’re that much problem here at the door, I don’t need you inside the club because we’re gonna have to deal with you then, and it’s just not worth the door fee so just go ahead and leave now! As far as the girls go...we run across ALL TYPES! You’ve got the professional strippers, who do it for a living and don’t care about anything else, they live, eat, sleep and breathe stripping, have a hundred outfits and boots and heels and wigs etc...and will most likely go from that to sex work ( or Walmart, lol ) because they never learned another skill set. These are the girls who hope to meet their future rich husband in the club..Then you have the chicks who are separated from husbands or boyfriends and have a kid (or five, lol) that had to find a way to make money quickly and probably had a friend who talked them into trying it. They don’t really like it but they kind of start to like the attention ( and money ) so they’re still there 5 yrs later talking about quitting, lol !!! Then there’s the very FEW ( I might’ve had 2 at one time in the same club but usually more like just 1 ) who are actually going to college ( like Sooooo many of them claim to be ) and they’re doing it because it’s damn good money and they can work it around school...these usually pick a club in a larger town within driving distance, but not too close to where they actually live or go to School! Hoping not to be noticed by friends or relatives! I had one of these girls dive off stage one night, right into my arms because she saw her uncle walk in the door! I caught her and she hit the floor running in her 5” heels like a damn track star, 😂! Then there’s the hotel skanks! These are the girls who usually live in a hotel and need to make enough to pay for their rooms and are mostly drunks or addicted to something and usually go eat at a Waffle House every night after work and then go to Walmart and spend every dime they made that night! These girls usually have boyfriends who are more sorry than they are and take them to work ( usually on the girls own car ) then they take some of her money and her car and go buy weed or get drunk somewhere else and cheat on them then come pick them up from work at closing...AND YEP, these are one of our biggest problems. Those idiots come back and get in an argument with their girl, she’ll hit him, or he’ll hit her and WE have to deal with it. Sometimes the money just doesn’t seem worth the BS you deal with! Most, not all, clubs I worked at had a policy of NO boyfriends inside the club or sitting in the parking lot waiting for hours! But contrary to public opinion strippers aren’t all dumb. They don’t all tell us they have a boyfriend! We hear the roommate, brother, gay friend, brother in law BS a lot and we have to decipher the truth from the BS. But there are certainly the good times and upside to the job. Meet A LOT OF PEOPLE from all different walks of life. Date ( sleep with ) MARRY (Ugghhh, what an idiot) some of the best looking women around , that most guys watch porn to see or can only come pay to see naked! We have a lot of time for the gym, not to mention the hookups from friends who are bouncing at other nightclubs ( getting in and drinking free ) when we’d go out. It’s kind of like a fraternity...we all know each other ( our girls know each other, they’re usually all bartenders, waitresses or dancers) where we each work, who’s good at the job, who might get you themselves or someone else hurt! Who can definitely handle themselves, and those who “ Think” they can etc...I never had a bouncer job stay vacant for more than a day! I always knew someone that was either looking for a spot or was ready or thinking about leaving the club they were at currently. I fired a guy one night and called a buddy at another club to ask him if he’d be interested, that crazy fool quit right then and came and finished the night out at our club! LOL...I had some fantastic times that I’ll never forget in the different clubs I worked in...some bad times...aggravating times and some downright scary times! Me and this dude could talk for days about our experiences in the “entertainment industry” as we call it, lol. If I have/had any advice for someone considering going to work security or another spot in a nightclub, it would be this! We all started by having to clean up vomit at some point from a urinal, it can’t all be glitz and glamor, and NO ONE deserves to die in a bar fight! And don’t MARRY the dancers!!! That’s mostly for me to remember! LMFAO

I was a bouncer for 16 yrs. Everything he’s saying is correct.
Had a buddy of mine who was a DJ at a strip club. We used to say “you’re lucky to be surrounded by all those beautiful strippers”, and then he told us the truth. He said that most were entitled toddlers in adult bodies. Most were either alcoholics or drug addicts, and pretty well all were tied up with motorcycle gangs in one way or another. They’re damaged goods. He used to try and break up cat fights, but got to learn that it was futile and he would end up getting the worst of it. Instead, he would just stand back and let nature take it’s course. Can’t say as I blame him. He only worked there for a few months, and when he left he said he’d miss the money but definitely not the drama.
So, you used to know a guy who worked at one place for a few months who reckoned this. Hardly evidential.

She was mentally unstable in the deepest way. Beautiful on the outside, really really disturbed and confused on the inside. It’s was actually really heartbreaking to watch her decline. Not sure now, but I know she ended up hooked on drugs. Wonder if she’s still alive?
Sounds about right, likely 75% of the girls would fit into this description. Beautiful on the outside, f'd up upstairs.

@theactualdoomslayer yes you are cringe
I started out as security for a stirp club in South Florida. After roughly 15 years, I worked my way up to ownership partner. Most of the girls were very well educated, self-supporting students. Maintaining the "girlfriend experience" illusion is paramount. At closing time, the parking lot was cleared of stragglers, then a mandatory 20 minute "all-clear" time was imposed before the ladies were escorted to their cars by security. The dressing room was an entirely different experience. Keep in mind, naturally a group of women who spend a considerable amount of time together they tend to synchronize their biological functions. So,.... bluntly speaking, you could easily have 20 girls all on PMS psychosis. Not fun.
Dam 20 girls pmsing at the same time must of been hell lol
Shit,run for your life 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, and those girls have been sexually abused/rape. Did you forget?
Did you have a mop for the stage?
Half of them call out at that time of month. Scheduling is a bitch
Before army; I worked in a night club. After working a year; helping whatever needed in club. The nights, I had to assist security. Turned me off completely to going to places just like it. Gentleman clubs; night clubs, dark buildings loud music lots of drinking.
There’s one night in my youth working at a night club; when I realized, human nature is nasty. Then went to sign up for Army, I was so disgusted working in that environment.
You were so disgusted with your society at home that you signed up to kill people half way across the world.
Nice.
Lmao, went from "nasty sexual industry" to "nasty violence industry". At least, the second industry is male dominated and men like hierarchy, structure and don't have PMS.
Don’t let the darkest places colour your entire nature of humanity. Humans are just as capable of great virtue as they are of great vice.
You went to join the only thing worse than working at a nightclub? At least in the club, you can choose to go back outside. Most times, the army is a one-way ticket to hell! Actually, I have never met a happy soldier, and I live near and have worked on multiple bases.
@@BlackopolypsePodcastsandMedia Pretty ironic. I’m active duty military. Guys I know who get out end up working security at clubs. It’s like the opposite of this guy’s story.
The guy sitting next to me on a flight once was a bartender at a strip club. In our conversation much of this same content came up. In addition, something not mentioned in this video that the bartender strongly emphasized: Never date a stripper and God forbid absolutely never get one pregnant. He described several case histories of men he had known who managed to ruin their lives by doing so. Albeit there may be exceptions to the rule but the odds ain’t worth it.
I worked as a bouncer then later handled the photography and marketing for 2 clubs. You think I would know better, but ended up engaged to an ex-stripper for a few months. She was a grifter deluxe. Luckily I got out relatively unscathed. Not all men are as fortunate.

Why?
Because you see repeated shitbag behaviour from alot of seemingly nice people. It makes you permanently suspicious!

Well when I bounced I was already a street hoodlum, so bouncing was almost either normal or a small break I got to do fun stuff and get paid for. Cleaned up my life 15 years ago and never looked back. Don't miss it. Well, maybe a little every once in a while.
I did it for one night, but i didnt like what they paid me, so i went back to what i knew best. Tires!

I dated a few of the dancers (none of them did drugs). A few (not all) made a gross amount of money, some women in NJ, were reluctant to get another job. I did not meet any of them at the club, and some I never saw dance. But I did not like the strip clubs. Two of the women made great money, and the others eventually quit. Shockingly, one 41 year old dancer, died of a heart attack, and another dancer got deported (ouch). You are right. Some of the girls could never change careers, as some were making too much as dancers. one woman, got two degrees. blond hair, blue eyed, nice figure, she could never stop dancing, because the money she made was just gross.
Ur gross for ever dating a stripper 😂
I have to ask you.....why would you want to date a stripper? And you didn't just date one, but several. Why?
The best comic and true sentence ever written about strip clubs is :
Strip clubs are half-lit places filled with half-lit minds 😂

40 years ago, 63 now, I worked security for a so called talent agent who booked strippers to perform in various clubs.
It actually was a good job, no real drama, I would pick up 3 or 4 strippers from their homes, take them to a club and watch over them until they were finished. Then I would drive them all home. Made 100 bucks a night, 40 years ago.
Never really had any issues and they were all very pleasant, down to earth girls.
Only problems were other so called talent agents trying to muscle in on territory, never amounted to much because the clubs we dealt with wanted quality girls which we had and the other talent agents were more like pimps.
I dated a 38yo ex-stripper for a few months when I was in my mid 20s. We both worked the same retail job. It was an absolute nightmare. She seemed exactly like the girls you were talking about here. She was still playing those games with men. She still had guys on the side that would give her money.
At the age of 20 you dated a 38yr old stripper? What’s wrong with you man? The age alone is a deal breaker
There is an escorting element to it, most of them take on "clients" outside the club environment.
I've dated dancers too in the past and even recently.
That's all they know. They get rewarded for manipulating men. They better they are, the better they're rewarded
@@SavageKillaBeesAre you calling prostitution an "escorting"?
@LegsON In case you didn't know it's the same term they use in Canada and USA. Escort=prostitute. You may have not heard that before depending on what country you are in. It's not a term I made up fool.
"You have the best job in the world!"
I used to hear that line several times a night. It was the worst job I ever had.
Funny that, I've now gone to a job that everyone tells me must be the worst in the world, and yet it's the best job I've ever had. Perceptions versus reality!
Never could relax at nightclubs when I was younger. I wasn't a bouncer but obnoxiously loud music, expensive drinks and cover charges, girls getting their boyfriends into fights, seeing people glassed and kicked in the head. I often wondered how people enjoyed themselves here when it just felt uncomfortable and very hostile.
Same here, could never understand the draw.
You went to the wrong club, the club I went to when I was younger only had one fight when I was there and it was quickly broken up and sorted. Good vibe, good music and hot-ass girls.

@@UseTheSupeRsonic - It's true that a good fraction of the workers and customers at such a place have unstable lives with lots of drama. I agree with you that no one should be surprised at the stories.
I've been to strip clubs on exactly two occasions, once when dragged by a friend who found out I'd never been, the second for a bachelor party of a friend. I have no interest. I'm not going to defend the regulars or the workers.
I don't feel the need to be morally superior to them either, though.
Actually, I find these stories tame. I knew a stripper who had 4 kids by 4 different men.. She contracted AIDS; this was back in the 80s, when nothing could be done about it. She married man #4, had baby #4 by him, gave him AIDS, then divorced him for being "too controlling".
All the while, she bragged about being a strong woman.
Pretty much anyone under 30
Nightclub/Strip Club bouncer for 20+ years. Seeing the amounts of money and the things these men will do for these women. I had a doctor that would buy a girl a $20k engagement ring, buy her a car and never see her outside of the club. I have been wanting to post some videos telling my stories as well glad i found your videos.
THAT...SOUNDS... INSANE. This guy has got to be on the spectrum to be that smart but that socially dumb.
I worked Security at a Japan / Chinese dance club for 2 years. You paid to dance or sit & drink. Its just like the strip club the girls would lead on the men thinking they would get some where they would blow all there money week after week . The girls were ruthless and mean, they would not give the men a second look outside the club but inside the kissed up big time. They were Beautiful Girls no dought but gold diggers. I learned a lot there about human nature working there , I learned Nice Guys Finish Last & Don't chase Girls.
If you go to hospital do you expect the nurses to hang out with you afterwards? They're not ruthless or mean, its a job, fool!

My father loved strip clubs and brothels. He had a wife and kids at home who were struggling financially but he always had money for those places. 😢
Now he’s in his 70s, no property, no retirement, just SS and relatives to mooch off of. I cut him out of my life over a decade ago.
I think it can be an addiction, or at least an escape for fragile egos.
I’m so glad my mother went on to be a doctor and financially responsible. I had one good role model!
One of my therapists told me that every client she had who was a stripper had been molested as children. Girl victims grow up believing their seggsuality was the only thing they had to offer.

Most attractive women are
it’s their job. You’re paying for their company.
Started off working behind the bar in the UK. Then as I filled out and became a pro-fighter and fight trainer I had the confidence, mindset and skillset to work in security - 'bouncer', 'personal', 'guard' etc... but the club scene was definitely - eclectic - at times you never knew what you were going to get. And you bet that everything you stated was standard. In every club environment I worked in, it was the women that usually were the catalyst for issues, and always about ego and manipulation. I never had a personal time of really 'clubbing' as it was always a job. So even if I went out with mates, it was like I was on the job, never really relaxing. It was as if you were a movie director that had the inside working knowledge, so it kind of spoiled many movies you would try and see because you were forever analysing with your movie director tinted glasses.
It also made it hard to find fulfilling relationships with women because you were all too aware of what they were REALLY like when the veil dropped and they couldn't hide their true self. You are absolutely correct; the two girls out of 500 in my decades of experience is about right - they are so rare. You are also right that the girls get institutionalised.... but then again, I found so did I :)

VERYY INTERESTING!
I was a male dancer (in Florida) years back and everything he is describing is true and similar to the place I worked at. We had to pay a "stage fee" when we arrived too.
I treated it like a hair stylist, you made your good money from your regulars and then additional from walk ins (who could BECOME regulars!)
My style would be to converse with these often lonely, nice, awkward men, which is what they wanted actually. Just someone to pay attention to them. The other dancers from Latin America who couldn't speak English well had to rely on their bodies and turn more tricks.
there needs to be a book on stripper fashion and makeup tips!
I did not know gay men could be awkward and lonely.
Everything you talked about is true. I've been through it all just like you.
I worked in one club in Los Angeles for over four years and then not quite a year at a club in Hawai'i.
I was a doorman, DJ, and manager.
I even had to strip down to my underwear each year on my birthday for the dancers after the club closed. I made close to a thousand dollars each time.
I would average about $500.00 per night in tips from the dancers. We had 75 girls on the roster and any night we could have between 40 and 75 girls working. Some did 4 hour shifts, some did 6 hour shifts. We had one large stage with two poles and two girls would share the stage for two songs. Then they could change outfits and they had to wait tables serving drinks while on the floor. Or they could sit with a customer if he is buying drinks and or paying for table dances.
It's funny how you become so jaded from working in that business. Some dancers are so hot you never get tired of looking at them but most of them you've seen naked so many times and without makeup in baggy sweat pants and sweatshirts and you wouldn't look at them twice on the streets.
We hear every line, every scam, every hustle, every lie, every complaint about how the customers are tipping and how they don't want to be there and can they go home. Then there aee the ones who leave without tipping the doorman, the dj and they will give the bartender's the smallest possible tip. And say they had a bad night forgetting or just too dumb to realize our job is to watch every girl all night and we see how much each girl is making so they are the ones who don't get any favors and don't get to dance to the full song because we cut it short so she really won't make any money.
Our club had a capacity of just under 300 customers and it would be packed beyond capacity with a line outside with another 30 guys wanting in.
It was a crazy place. We had business men, truckers, college frat boys, Black gang members, Latin gang members, White gang members, bikers from different gangs, construction workers, bachelor and bachelorette parties, rock stars, sports stars occasional actors, we had strippers from the the other local clubs come in and hang out, hookers weren't alliwed in if we knew they were hookers, we had two pool tables so we had the pool sharks hustling drunks, there would be fights almost every night, the cops would hang out in the parking lot and sonetimes come in for a coffee and talk to the girls and a lot of cops would come in in a group off duty and drink and get dances.
I'm sure we could talk for hours about the different stories and the same stories we have.
It was fun and it was also a job that could get dangerous real fast. And you learn a lot about women if you didnt know much before you started working in strip clubs. You get a whole new perspective on women, how they think about men, how they deal with other dancers, their promiscuity, their alcohol and drug habits, etc...
It was a wild experience but just another small part of my extraordinary crazy life.
Take it easy or any way you can get it. LOL

Men may go to strip clubs with the thought of, wouldn't it be cool if I got to hook up with a dancer, but female dancers aren't there to fuck or be prostitutes. A few are there to see if they can turn a trick on the side. But the majority of clubs won't let the girls do anything that can get the club, the managers and or the owner in trouble with the ATF and or their city vice squad. They will pay heavy fines and have their personal manager's license 30 day suspension the first time. Sometimes they will shut the club down for a month or more.

i worked at a number of strip clubs. i always preferred to be parking lot security. in general, more dangerous, but less hassle from the girls and people that really mattered. the largest club i worked at had 80 - 120 dancers on a weekend shift. the truest thing i learned there was the difference between a waitress and a dancer was 3 weeks. that is usually how long a waitress would put up with the nonsense for the no cents and become a dancer. with two adolescent girls of my own, it broke my heart at times to see some of the 18yr old girls get sucked into that environment. after awhile, especially with drug use, the girls are unable to "turn off the fake". in 30+ years as strip club security i dated 2 girls , each briefly, one was a single date. i went to many parties that would make charlie sheen speechless. the last stripper party i went to, i walked to the back of the house, near the pool, and a dancer i knew (to be a druggie) was trying to inject herself in the neck. immediately realized i did not want to be the last person standing when the cops, emts, etc showed up. never went to another stripper party.
Bro. Strippers are so fuckn smelly and gross in private life 🤣.
They all smell in my experience, maybe not when they are new, but once they get in to it. I've met tons of prostitutes & strippers & they all douse themselves with fragrance to mask the inner smell that's always there. That odor is a deal breaker for me, just ends the attraction. I met 2 who smelled awesome, 1 in Fort Worth & another in Florida. I admire that they are able to do such a difficult job, but I would take a fat chick without much looks any day over odor thats unpleasant. I never hired one but you meet a lot of them in the jobs I do.
Yep smell like rotten Tuna
Lol smelly
I dated a stripper once named Marmalade Sally and she smelled like copper pennies.
She never used toothpaste, only baking powder and her teeth were white as snow.
Everywhere Marmalade Sally danced her simps were sure to go.
Correct, I dated plenty of them for fun when I worked doors, party use only.
Desperately insecure and needy.
This guy should be on a documentary. I would watch!
I think this is legitimately rich psychological study material
Or a very dark comedy film.😂
In the end a form of prostitution without the sex.
Imagine paging to get blue balls 😂
Might as well pay for an escort, probably cheaper in the end as well
That comment references marriage
If they like you enough, they will agree to have fun someplace else after the show for no extra fee ;)
I think you're referring to marriage.
Bounced for a year. I learned more about people that year than the previous decade.
Yes.
What did you learn?
Honestly if you really want to learn the true face of humanity, just work in the sex industry, does a real good job at showing just what's wrong with the current human condition, both men and women, just the sadness of being a man more than anything

You’re a remarkably effective communicator and a gifted storyteller, with great skill at use of structure, insight, the use of examples and wisdom - all compressed into a compelling story.
Wow, thank you!
6:40 As a man working in health care i can totally relate to listening to various female problems and arguing.
It is like dealing with children but with an adult body.
I've always said that they're just the most responsible teenager in the room.
I regard women as strange children nowadays. That's what they are. Till they are about 60+
They grow old but they never grow up.
The sad part is that we gave children the right to vote
Lol 😂
Worked as a bouncer while in college. Scared me off one night stands forever when a patron who was HIV positive took home a different woman each night he was there.
How did you know he was diseased?

He told us. Dude was always friendly with the staffs and tipped generously.
@@bodhitree33 I used to brag about sleeping with a lot of women until my late 20s when I realized I scared away a lot of potential girls who could have been real relationships because I was focused on sex only from 22-26. Did myself a disservice in hindsight
@@richborn6700 real, also this men can have high body count trend lately is doing a lot of disservice...
Yikes 😳
While I was listening your story I thought to myself more and more how depressing that environment was.
Hearing these stories is exactly why I've never bothered with strip clubs or anything of the sort. No matter how sad and lonely I get I refuse to let myself ever pointlessly spend money on either being sexually frustrated or simulating a girlfriend experience in such a hollow way. No way no how.
--- EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF SELF-RESPECT . . . but let me tell you about Killeen, Texas, just outside an Army base.

@@marianotorrespico2975 Texas is changing period but Killeen/Fort Hood or now Cavazos - all ghetto.
Why hollow? If have GF you have spend money anyways. Just to have friends you need money
I'm a former Chippendales dancer and that experience was completely opposite. It was a 2hr choreographed s broadway style stage show with lights and costume changes. It was a legit show. We didnt have to "hustle" for money/tips like the women typically do. Although we would go in the audience between numbers and do what's called "kiss and tips". We'd have security stand by the stage and our dressing rooms in order to prevent women from rushing the stage and sneaking in our dressing rooms. It was a wild time.
Hahahahaha dude that's awesome
I wish you could share your experiences like the man in this video, no need to show your face though. Men need to listen to authentic stories to better understanding what is really going on around. RP
That's the difference when men run things versus when women run things. 😅
Your honesty is refreshing and your insight into that world is rare. Thankyou.
" When a girl goes up the pole, she's never coming down ". A spiritual contract is forged.
You’re gross. Spiritually you can’t come down either from that attitude.
All sins but blasphemy of the Holy Spirit can be forgiven under the blood of Jesus Christ.
@foursamm That is true but you must repent first. Wealthy women like wealthy men often never repent or only repent late in life.
@@TwinMcQuerns how and what is repent
@@TwinMcQuerns Absolutely! Thank you for that wonderful point. When one realizes who Jesus really is and how we all fall short of the glory of God - then hearts soften and can repent. Jesus says a wealthy person can't enter the kingdom of heaven - but with God all things are possible :) - May the Spirit be upon you and may you have the peace of our living God.
Thank you for sharing your stories about your time working security at the clubs.
I found it a very interesting and honest account.
I worked as bouncer at nightclubs and also private functions.
Working in the security industry, clubs in particular, is an eye opening experience.
You do come across all sorts of people...and when booze is in the mix...things get really interesting!
I would definitely like to hear more about your security days 👍
Wow! You hit it. Some very disciplined you ladies can use it to pay for college, but you have to have focus, and know what your end game is. It's a sad commentary that so many young women are just used. Worse, some fall into a negative lifestyle. Men are using them. You have the best male perspective I've ever heard. You rock!
@@jkaugust3586 Your reply is on the wrong comment.. and, WTF? Why so biased? There were a lot of men being used and 'fleeced' in this story. Including the storyteller. The club owner is he embodiment of evil, and he used everyone, men and women, to enrich himself , while humiliating as many people as he can.
@@blackopal3138 Just another woman hearing what she wants to hear and not what is actually being said. Hard to tell if its an actual female or a bot.
@@Leec_1972 lol, it is a little bottish isn't it There are spelling errors though. Now that I read it again, it's even worse than my first ipression. The first sentence. She's not only ignoring the male victims, she is quite fine with it, if the girl is empowered and independent, lol, fleece away. Instead of condemning the whole scene. It's like, for her the criminals are ruining a good opportunity for young women to fleece lonely, depressed men. Bastards.
A college acquaintance got a stripper pregnant. His life turned into a nightmare overnight. $5k/mo child support, multiple baby daddies, domestic disputes, endless legal bills, and forever being known as the idiot who couldn’t keep it in his pants when a woman paid attention to him.
Yeah but what does her being a stripper have to do with it?
@@cjackflythat part is what makes her a bad person..
5k/month in child support? Dude you wat? I hope this is fake because average American income is like 4k a month or something. Also diapers don't cost that much, a child would cost a maximum of 300 dollars a month. Max
@@zidan40o0 Nobody said family law in the US makes a fucking bit of sense, mate.
@@zidan40o0child support in north America is a flat percentage of your income.
It's why women try to fuck professional athletes. 18 years of guaranteed 10k+ tax free income per month, when they might get 2-400 bucks/mo from a broke guy.
That was a fascinating insight into the behaviour of people when incentives are aligned in a certain way.
Thanks for watching Pip!
It is well known that her name isnt Roxy or Mary, she isnt meeting you outside the club and she will never be your girlfriend so it's best if you keep your Doctor's appointment.
Spent a lot of time in strip clubs during my late teens and early 20s-- the locker room talk CRACKED ME UP!!
So true!!
I love your security stories mate!
Thx Joe!!
A few off my pals were working close to Soho, in the 80s, only 18/19 at the time, one day they went into a strip club, for a laugh. Birds wrapped round them ordering champagne, which was cheap supermarket crap, cost them a fortune that they couldn't pay? Was frog marched to the cash point, still wasn't enough, took their watches and jewellery. Lesson learnt for them and the rest of us to stay clear🤷
Did you ever see the story, probably in the Sun. That this happened to a young 17-18year old boy a few years ago. Got out of his depth with the drinks, was marched to the cash point and had his account emptied out and sent home. Next day his rather posh mum turns up at the Soho club, found the girl responsible and frog marched _her_ to the cash machine and got her son's money back.
I hope the story was true.
He was lucky
I dated a stripper for 4 years and can confirm every word spoken is absolutely the truth and it is universal.
lmao why tf would you do that?
@@ronmka8931 I liked the attention, there are also a lot of other dynamics to the relationship, but I won't bore you with that. Another reason was that I could, I never married her.. Anyway, its is a good question, but I must also confess I like women with sexy bodies, typical eye candy, lot of guys paid to see, but I was getting it. I'm older now and moved on. No regrets
How on earth could you know “it is universal” from once having dated a stripper?
@@louispantke139 Wow 4 years, were you her ATM? A while back, I befriended one outside of the club and we hooked up once. Pretty girl with some good traits, but an overall mess. The mentality of using men for money is present outside of the club too with most of them. Not sure how a relationship with this type of person would work.
What a loser . 4 years …
We had a no pimp rule in our strip clubs. Here in the US if you make the pimp take his hat off, he won’t come in.
What wild stuff...this crazy ness is why people go nuclear
Whats the deal with the hat?
It was the thing back in the 70s and 80s about pimps and their hats. It was a respect thing. So they would refuse to take their head off therefore they could not come in.
@@billshearer3984 hahahah everyday I learn something new
You, my friend, are a real man. Glad I clicked this. Stay real.
The guy chose to work in a strip club. He ain't a real man
As a 22 yr old woman who's never been in a club of any kind and don't ever plan to, this was really interesting perspective to hear.
Keep it that way. Its healthier for the mind and soul.
Whats your body count?
Go try one- you will love it!
@@DarronSanderson you serious?
@@tobyroyson9336 yep. There is nothing as good as a good gentleman's club. One time this smoking young woman just came up to me and started fresh kissing me. I couldn't believe it. It was a rush. I could had made out with her for hours. We were not even in VIP, it was in a corner. (And, she didn't even want a tip.) She must had been faded. A few times I was given hand jobs.(VIP room.) Several times when they "dry humpped" me during table dances I came. They are a fantasy thing. Just be a gentleman. Be respectful. Spread out your money- (don't spend it on one girl and try to make your money last through the night.) A few times strippers have asked me to go to there place after the club closed. (Free.) A lot of these comments project negative experiences at clubs, and there are at times. It's like life, sometimes things are good, sometimes not. Oh, and when I was active duty military, one of the guys in out Squadron started dating a fine stripper, and a few months they got married! Anyway- just don't get addicted to them brother. Peace. ✌🏽 oh, another thing is (at a nicer club) the grille (kitchen food) is fantastic. Buy a steak and potatoes. When you eat and eat healthy the hottiesthey don't come up and beg you for tips, lol.
I've worked as a waiter in 2 strip clubs. They are just awful places.
These are important stories for society to hear. Thank you
Yes., he has a grasp of the mechanics. From there a lot of the chaos is explained
Excellent narration, and a fun ride to listen too! You have a knack for bringing back a moment and giving it life. I was laughing and learning at the same time. Thank You OG, for sharing the real side of life. I will stay tuned for more. Stay on the rise Brother. 🔥💎🆒💯
It's true that when the girls find a certain power, they go bonkers.
Kinda like how most women now don't really get into relationships because they are getting attention from random men who think there memes are funny
SW isn't power. I don't suppose men would be happy if porn, sex clubs and escorts were banned. It's a privilege that many men abuse. It's only a "power" to women when they decide that they're also going to play the game, and not give men services at a reduced rate or be exploited
I think my ex Girlfriend had worked in a strip club! She admitted to me that she went for an audition and she was an ok ish pole dancer, she did a lap dance for me that was way too professional for someone who claimed to have never actually worked in one. She admitted heavy drinking and cocaine use in her past and that she’d taken a law degree but decided not to practice which i found unbelievable as she couldn’t even read the first 10 pages of Animal farm!
She had a totally unrealistic view of money and how a man should shell out for her and how she could drop and dump you really cheaply. She had the behaviour of giving strange men a lewd glance so that they would think they could get some from her in front of me! They could literally have come off a sex offenders wing the previous day so oblivious she was to any danger. She wasn’t interested in any of these men (they were just objects used to boost her self esteem at the expense of mine) and would just walk off leaving me with them. This happened in some isolated areas too and from the things you’ve said in this video i believe she picked this risky behaviour up from working in a U.K strip club where she was used to the protection you speak of.
Without me she couldn’t use public transport and had to drive everywhere! None of these things ever happened with another girl i dated and she lived in an area filled with impulsive men over a six year period of me going out with her; and she had many of the attributes those men lust over more than the pole dancer ex girlfriend and no man ever bothered us as she stood by my side and never gave lewd and suggestive glances. Thanks for your insights you shared with us in this video!
Amazing comment. You summed up exactly what it is like to date a stripper (majority of). I to have had these issues! Eloquently written Sir!
Eloquently written?

My first wife was a suicide girl and ex stripper- what hes describing was my life for 5 years of my 20's LOL
Nicely put. 😎
I bounced at beach bars for 4 years. It is amazing the level of crap humanity you meet at those places.
I really appreciate that you point out the Good in the Bad. Your videos leave you with a good feeling. But a realistic, honest the bad things as well.
Glad you like them!
During my idiot days, whenever I asked a dancer her real name at this particular club, it was always either Stephanie or Jill. Finally stopped taking my stupid pills.
They never reveal their real names. In fact, they make up their life stories to attract guys.
"Finally stopped taking my stupid pills." Brother that was gold lmao
Only thing missing is that outside a club you would lead some Stephanie or Jill in a conversation by saying "so, you're a stripper?"
I think the best way to get along with an exotic dancer (I wouldn't rather say stripper) is to treat her as a woman herself. We may ask her about her hobbies, what kind of food she likes cooking, what else she does after performing, etcetera. She will realize that you are not any other jerk trying to get any BJ for free, but a man who knows how to treat women no matter what they do for a living.
@@seriouscat2231that made me laugh out loud 😂
Idk how I ended up here, but I'm glad I did. Cheers from the US, bro. You seem to be a very nice genuine guy interesting story, and you tell it so well.
I appreciate that!
Everything you said was SO true!
I worked as a dancer for 12 years and it was the most toxic and interesting place to watch human nature play out.
I’m grateful to be out as the environment was hard on my spirit and soul. 🤍
People always assume the guys were bad but they were not! The things girls have done have affected my trust in women.🥴😬

That was such a detailed breakdown of behind the curtain. Much appreciated
Such interesting stories and you're
such a great story teller‼️‼️‼️
Thank you so much!!
The myth is that the woman are being exploited, but sounds more like the exploitation is more of lonely men
Who forces them to spend money and time in such a manner? How about some accountability for a change?
Edit: typo
I think many clubs probably do exploit the women. Plying them with drink, making then pay a huge percentage (40% at my old place), turning a blind eye to rampant drug use, and some girls are little more than kids (18). Equally there were sad vulnerable guys who got totally rinsed. The club was the only winner.
Modern men really are effeminate and ruined by porn. Women are now " abusive and narcissistic" because they are not accepting men's advances for sex or to date. What do you want? Girls to give you attention for free ?? Touch grass
Loneliness and celibacy brings men to those places.
@@jacquelineess1141such an ignorant statement. This can be said just about any victim. I bet if the genders were reversed you’d have a totally different opinion.

That's a good thing. The first time I ever went into one was for my 30th birthday (and it wasn't my idea). I went maybe two more times in life around that same period and that was it. I like girls, but strip clubs don't do it for me.
You're not missing anything.
It's just a waste of time and money and full of risk and trouble.

@@alomaalber6514 Nah, I value my anonymity.
Las Vegas had a strip club in Industrial Rd., behind the old Stardust.
The cops used to find passed out guys that security had thrown out.
Most of the trouble started when guys found out their credit card had been padded, then if they complained, the rough stuff started.
A biker had a shop next door to the club, so he was not happy having overflow with some guys tossed over on his property.
He was a big fellow and had a few run ins with security at the strip club.
Idk I would have loved to see all this play out like not be involved but watch the story progress after every visit to the club 😂
That sounds like the Crazy Horse😂😂
The next door neighbor who was a ex pro wrestler ended up dieing under very strange circumstances
Was this on a Netflix Unsolved Mysteries episode?
@@GuitaristDog87 Probably. I moved here in 1995 and did most sports betting at the Stardust
The guy who owned the motorcycle repair shop was at County Commission meetings complaining many times. The shop was in Clark Co., not the City of Las Vegas.
A lot of billion dollar hotels went up, and strip clubs became more expensive and glitzy. The motorcycle shop owner was an ex wrestler and a big guy, who didn't put up with the bouncers on his property.
LMAO @ the Chump Squad! 😂
In the 80's when I was young and dumb and full of energy, there was a time where I almost exclusively dated strippers or bar tenders in the Denver, CO USA area. This was way before cell phones and social media! The ones I dated were all attractive out of the club as well as on stage. I would also act as bachelor party security for some of them too.
ShotGunWillies?
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing your experiences. I'd like to hear more stories of your years in the strip clubs.
And your club does sound good if you are saying the truth but most clubs I worked at the management wasn’t on your side whatsoever. Not the security not the manager. We actually had a story how some guy smashed a beer bottle on girls head and now she is paralyzed. The investigation didn’t go anywhere bc she was not legally in US. Also the club deleted the footage from the cameras. Yea
