Just my two cents on strip clubs, etc.
[QUOTE=HandyBilly;2627113]IMHO I have never been a Strip Club guy and cannot understand paying anything over 2 for less than at least a BJ and even that is too much. What is the intrigue of being ripped off by these ladies.[/QUOTE]For years, I was a "strip club guy" and got very good at getting what I wanted at an economical rate even at "extras-resistant" places like Foxy Lady (not easy, but possible). I could (and probably should) have posted here more, but I'm one of those guys who strongly prefers to be *very* small on the radar.
The appeal of strip clubs is that the ladies are all there in front of you and you can sample them (physical and personality) in real time via lap dances, etc. So, there's none of the bait-and-switch shenanigans that you find on Backpage or CL. Also, if you convinced a dancer to meet you OTC, then you could negotiate a safe setting (for both parties), as opposed to finding yourself in a filthy crack den and potentially at risk of robbery or worse.
I also like very hot girls, and you have to pan through a lot of silt to find that kind of gold on BP or CL. I'm not saying it can't be done (and more power to the guys who have that kung fu), but it didn't make sense for me to go that direction when I was already proficient in strip clubs.
That said, a couple of years ago I tried a FS AMP for the first time on a lark. Eventually, I switched over to that scene almost exclusively, as there's no better "bang for the buck" -- ahem -- in my opinion. AMPs are cost-effective, uncomplicated, and if you're polite yet firm with the mamasan then you consistently saw hot girls that were eager to please. It's a fantastic "lazy man's" option.
Or, at least it was. The fiasco at Cheater's in 2013 most obviously affected the strip club scene, but it also caused the media (and therefore politicians and LE) to scrutinize the AMP scene once the Cheater's / strip club stories started running out of juice. As a result, the AMPs have been legislatively painted into a corner (a corner called Pawtucket), and I think that there's a short fuse left for the AMP scene in RI overall. It's annoying to have come into that scene only a year before it collapsed (sigh).
So, now I'm looking at going back to the strip clubs, partially because it's what I know (though I suspect that I'm rusty, and that scene has also become much more difficult post-Cheater's), but also because I'm still not willing to wade through the morass that is Backpage and CL. And (personal opinion), I think that the streetwalker scene is covered in crazy sauce.
I'm annoyed about having to re-develop my strip club "game" all over again. Even when I was very good at it, it was still a process with many more moving parts compared to AMPs.
But, it's either that or internet porn and a FleshLight. I choose the former, thank you very much.
Just my perspective. Good luck out there.
