[QUOTE=MrPrivacy100;2970882]I need to vent on the quality of the strip clubs in Akron these days. I realize I don't get out as much as some of you here on the boards, but I cannot believe I have become this far out of touch. I tried three clubs this past weekend and was sadly & grossly disappointed with not only the quality of the girls, but the way the clubs themselves have been let go. What happened to the days of the Platinum Horse? Beautiful girls, decent drinks, comfortable chairs, and a safe environment. I felt comfortable enough at the Platinum to take a girlfriend in there on occasion. Unfortunately, the condition of most of these clubs has been let go to the point I'm not sure I want to spend any length of time in them, and I feel the need for a tetanus shot after leaving. Am I just expecting too much? The seedy strip clubs have always & probably will always be there, but aren't there any upscale, decent places left? If anybody has some info on one, please let me know.[/QUOTE]Buddy I feel your pain. I have hit several of the Akron clubs in the past month and was so disappointed that I didn't even have the urge to post reports as from my perspective there was nothing good to report. Most clubs are dives, ghetto, or both. Most dancers probably shouldn't be dancing, they are old or out of shape. Many have bad body odors, dirty and they have a ghetto persona.
I blame it on 2 things, drugs and thugs. Many of the dancers are users or hooked on something so they don't care about their appearance, just their next fix. Also many of them have thugs for boyfriends so they take on that attitude and persona.
Yes you can get extras from many of them but most of them just don't appeal to me.
Gatsby's is probably the nicest overall club, cleaner with better quality dancers than the others but most of the dancers hang with their regulars who are there every day. Even so it's probably the closest you'll find to Platinum Horse but like the horse extras are pretty rare or non-existent there. If you're willing to put in the time though you can get better contact dances than you could usually get at the horse.
If you just want a classier club drive to Cleveland. Christies and Hustler have better chicks too but they're not as good as the good old days either.
