Him: So, when you guys went out to celebrate Labor Day, did you go to
that strip club I suggested?

Me: No, we went to some other place called ___.

Him: Oh! that's a good place, too. The girls aren't quite as good
looking, but they're nice. They add a personal touch, y'know?

Me: Oh, what, that ***** where they shake your hands after they're
done?

Him: Yeah, it's cool. You get to know them. Talk to them. Give them a
tip personally.

Me: I though it was stupid! I don't wanna' shake some *****'s hand!
She's a piece of meat thrown up there for me to admire. I have no
need or desire to see her as a human being.

Him: Dude, that's pretty fucked up.

I don't like strip clubs. Once in a blue moon, with a group of guys
as a lark, but as a regular activity? Why demean yourself like that?
The strippers never liked me, and I wasn't about to give big tips from
the $5/hr pre-tax I was earning at the time to try to get them to
pretend they liked me.

I remember seeing guys around my age now getting all dressed up and
going to the club, like it's their big night out. The worst I would
see is some old guy, maybe around 50+ years old, with a young
20-something on his lap, holding hands with her, and they're both
staring off into space not talking to each other, both looking
miserable. If I ever get like that, please put a bullet in my skull.

Ugh, don't go to strip clubs dude. Seriously, just don't go. Not a
good thing, IMO, not for lonely guys who don't get dates.
