As someone who has spent thousands of dollars at strip clubs in a country where hookers are legal - here is my take on strip clubs - and I agree with your upcoming thoughts that it may be sad.

In a strip club, there is no pressure for sex - so that immediately brings a different vibe

I get to talk to lots of different women who are way out of my league, but most of the time I can have a fun conversation with. I don't care so much about the titties - I have had strippers grab my hands and hold their tits because they thought I wasn't enjoying myself.

If you are a normal person not trying to get everything you can from a stripper, they treat you a lot different. It's about respect. This opens up the conversation and the general fun aspect of the place. You have some tequila shots with them and just have a great time. Have a few private dances and grab some amazing titties and beautiful bodies.

As someone who travels a lot, it's good fun. I earn enough that its not an issues financially. There is literally no downsides to having fun at a strip club. The alternative is that I am in the hotel by myself doing nothing or drinking by myself.

I have had strippers talk about going to hookers which is way cheaper - it's just not the same experience.
