Offer to pay for her tuition so she wouldn't have to strip anymore.
Eatabaggadix
Keep your fucking hands to yourself. Just because they dance all nakedy and such doesnt mean youre allowed to grope them. Its how I ended up with my hand painfully twisted behind my back by little puerto rican girl who was a foot shorter than I. Lesson learned 40 years ago.
ICampOntheFirstDate
Don't go alone. Dont get talked into a lap dance unless you know exactly how much they cost. Don't get talked into a private room for the same reason. Don't use a debit card. For that matter, understand that you might not be able to dispute charges on your credit card either.
geoffreyfourmyle
Classmate back in our university days was a stripper. She's not on imgur but strongly advises @OP to not use any kind of card inside the club at all; the clubs will pile on fees and surcharges as much as they are legally allowed -- and they're allowed a lot. Show up with cash already in pocket. Don't spend more than that under any circumstances.
weidermeijer
Cash is King.
Bystandr
Oh yeah never use a debit card. That runs out when your balance hits zero. You want to take the platinum visa with the $100,000 limit.
digitalaaronscustoms
I treat strip clubs like cash-only businesses. If I don't have the paper in hand, I'm not going. So yeah, I don't go hardly ever.
spiceass9000
Look at tits then realize it’s pretty lame and never go again. Not saying I don’t like naked dancing but if that’s all it is then meh.
DurendaI
Strip clubs are for rubes.
Raventhief
Well, first thing you should do is probably park your car.
zFUBARz
I mean if you're at a strip club you're probably drinking, so hopefully don't drive.

Remember, that like at any job, some people are happy to be there and some hate it, so be kind. Look them in the eye, smile, thank them for their work, compliment their efforts and tip them (if you want) without being a creep. It's a job, don't make their day at work suck by being an asshole.
BillHubbard
This is actually true for everyone working in some sort of hospitality/retail/medical etc
ThatHappensToMeSometimes
We used to have a tradition where after the company Christmas party, a bunch of us would go to best strip club in town and just make it rain. Pyramids of ones at the meat rack, lots of personal dances (in the public part of the bar), and just generally get fucked up and have fun. We always respected the dancers and I heard later from someone who worked there that they looked forward to our weird tradition. Oh, and I’m a girl, so I always got boobies in my face. Yay!
Richter12x2
I used to take it as a compliment that in between dances, the strippers would come hang out at our table. Now I'm sorta wondering if I literally got friend zoned at a strip club.
MAN9000
Generally you didn't get real action or long term commitments at a strip club so they probably felt safe with you, maybe not a creepy vibe. I'd take it as a compliment.
kaarbaakimgr
Even the ones that tell me “it’s ok to pull ‘it’ out” during a private dance?
MrGrundy
If you're at a place where a stripper says you can pull it out, it's probably not a strip club you'd want to pull it out at.
tokenhooker
Nah. We don't do that.

stoots24
During a lap dance, when they say, "Would you like me to continue?" it's because the song has ended, and they want to know if you are going to pay for another song.

I went to a couple clubs 30 years ago for friends’ bachelor parties and found the strip clubs super awkward. Live women doing that for money right in front of me was really off-putting.

Won a $5k bar tab for the strippers at a raffle years back. Was on a work trip so bought all my co-workers along. We were in there for maybe 10 minutes & saw the bouncer carrying my supervisor (he was under 5 foot) out of the private rooms in just his underwear screaming "I just felt bad that she was the only naked person in the room!" We pretended not to know him
digitalaaronscustoms
You really had me in the first half.
vegivamp
Does that mean a 5k tab at the club, or a 5k tab to be spent only on the strippers?
Duckgooser
Just a bar tab
Duckgooser
So what happened was, I was working in a small coal mining town with one pub (also only place we had all our meals). Every Thursday the strip club from the city 30 mins away would send a couple of girls for skimpies (topless raffles). The $5k tab only happened the once & it's desired intention was to lure the coal miners into the city & into the strip club.

That may be a gender discrimination issue. Or a hotness level thing.
FriskySour
Venue dependent. Some clubs will let patrons partially undress. Typically no shirt if getting a private dance, and sometimes down to underwear if paying for a shower/bath show.
clearlyselfloving
I don't know if it's a "discrimination" thing when it's a strip club where you pay so see boobs, but yes, having boobs helps. I saw a guy get spanked with his own belt on stage once too though.
psugab
I have too. My best friend's bachelor party. The discrimination thing was a joke. You know, because you're a hot woman and I'm assuming first comment was not.
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
My ex 'was convinced' to go in a back room with a stripper who 'just talked to him the whole time about school.' He didnt know the rooms were [$$$] per song and refused to leave w/the bachelor party bc 'she liked him,' & gave him her number. He stayed so long he had to drain his bank accounts to leave. Even then the bouncers threatened to rough him up for more. I picked him up from the side of the highway w/no shirt so I asked if she got that too. Also the number she gave was a phone sex hotline
CloakedFigure
Big oof
BumbleBeeBeardedGingerBear
Yeah, to my embarrassment that wasn't the final straw before I did the smart thing. Life is crazy. Kind of hilarious sometimes, but crazy.

Dinkleboop
I mean, I've never been involved with one but you kind of have to think that strippers can be in healthy relationships as well, it's just another type of work.

True story. In college, guy was going for his first time. We told him don’t fall for any of them. He got it. He went and kept taking cash out bc she was into him. 🤦🏻♂️. I did have one give me her number unsolicited. Didn’t call her.

IceWeaselX
Two times I actually believed this. First was when the stripper on my friend's lap bought our drinks and his cigarettes. That's not normal. They're usually supposed to sucker customers into buying THEM drinks. Second was when another friend invited a stripper to leave with us, and she did. Luckily, I was so drunk that I passed out on the sofa and didn't need to listen.
TheRiattAct
I had a coworker tell me this, and every counter i tried to say was met with "yea but..." some people need to learn the hard way....no pun intended
K3rp
Not to brag.. but this one stripper told me she would totally take me out for dinner if she didn’t have a rule about going out with customers
16bitStarbuck
Just slide her your number on a scrap of paper.
TheRicM
Get a job working there. That way you’re not a customer, problem solved. She can also help you pick out thongs and heels for your sets
digitalaaronscustoms
So just wait outside the club for her to finish her shift. I'm sure she'll be SUPER RECEPTIVE to you tryna pick her up while she walks to her car. Or maybe security will break your nose. Fortune favors the bold.
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
I had a stripper invite me to a threesome once. She wasn't even at work. I declined but it was a weird ego boost.
LastStickOfRAM
First thing is don’t go.
BellsTheorem
Why?
DwarfHoldsTheWorld
Probably because it's exploitation of women. You can't tell which ones are there freely and which ones have been coerced to be there.

1. be respectful 2. give them all your money
Mikeiller
And make sure you do it in paper money. They really don't like rolls of coins
smashpro1

3. Don't wear sweatpants (as a guy) unless you're a regular and asked about it.
4. The one in state college PA has free beer out back (as of 10 years ago, need to go back to check), so check your local establishments for other perks and tip accordingly
Macewindow54
No sweatpants?
Rathan5
I’d imagine that, while they know on some level that it’s happening, they’d probably still prefer to not be directly confronted by someone’s raging erection, which sweatpants are notoriously poor at keeping under control
Macewindow54

I'm (genuinely) not sure *going* to a strip club I'd respectful. I think it's more 'remember there are strict no touch/no assault/no rape rules'

As a former stripper one time I beat a guy within an inch of his life for exposing himself. The bartender took his ID so I could report him for sexual assault. I hope you try something one day because the stripper will beat you with her stilettos and the bartender will toss your body in the dumpster lol tool

I mean I don't think forcing someone to make my McDonalds for me is "respectful" if we're talking about forcing people to do labour, but sex work is work. so... be respectful, pay them money for their work.
Ughffs
Going to a strip club is being just as respectful of the strippers as they are respectful of themselves. Which is zero. Most strippers are a pregnancy away from street whore.

When I came of age, my friends all insisted that I go. I went. I had a mediocre time, found it awkward. Thought maybe I missed something/did something wrong. Went another time a couple of weeks later. Nope, it was pretty meh. Haven't been since. Lost a friend over it. "You know you want to go!!" No, I really don't.
DangerJJ
Me and a buddy brought a chess set to a strip joint many, many years ago and were playing at a table in the far back. The DJ announced “can you believe there’s 2 guys playing chess with all these beautiful girls around?!?” We were asked to put the game away or leave.

I dated a stripper... but I have never set foot in a strip club aside from going in to drop food, ciggies, weed off to her occasionally...she used to buy me very expensive gifts and would come home incredibly turned on... I miss her so much
DrMarioSThompson
I too dated a stripper, she wanted me to come watch her at work... Did a couple times but wow much rather see her naked at home without a bunch of drunk assholes around. And a case of beer instead of drinks at $10 a pop. Hard sell to get me down there
Blimjoe
To clarify, that was not the full extent of our relationship... just a regular part of
realrealluckless
My only experience with such clubs are from American movies... As a Canadian I've never gotten actual answers to how they work here. Like, do we just start off as $5 being the base tip? Are Canadian strippers better paid? Just tipped less often? Is loonie tossing a skill I'm supposed to learn? Maybe some kind of system like buying tokens at arcades, but you get basically Canadian Tire money? ... Are we just paying them in Canadian Tire money?
psugab
I think some places have a game where they pick loonies up from your lips to theirs, so to speak, but this is 3rd hand knowledge and may be embellishments
PixelSprite64
Rolling up to the club like
SgtDefaultGN
Take a shower first, Canadian dancers are grindy and I promise you’ll have more fun if you don’t smell bad. If the place is dead and a girl goes on stage, go sit in the front row, honestly I think it’s rude not to. Don’t be a creep, boobs out or no that’s a person so be nice. You do need to be on the lookout for scammers, especially if you’re drinking, most dancers know you can shear a sheep many times but only skin him once, but there are some that don’t care. Buy drinks. Be nice. Have fun!
TrilobiteSushi
Best thing to do at anything you are new at is to buy a beer and sit 1 or 2 seats back and just watch for 10 minutes before you do anything else at all. Then follow what the other people around you do.

For anyone who doesn't get the reference, one of Portland OR's most famous steakhouses, the Acropolis, is also a strip club. There's a salad bar, and it's just as sketchy as you can imagine. The common advice around here is "Try the steak-bites, but stay away from the salad bar."
ChicanoBatman
Three friends, separate times, food poisoning from the Acropolis salad bar. Just go to Mary's and tip well for a better degenerative experience.
Sigge1981
If I ever visit a strip club/steakhouse in Portland, which is astronomically unlikely, I shall remember this tip. I love salad bars! Thanks for the warning

We had a local stripclub back when I was at uni that did a $10 all you could eat seafood buffet on Friday afternoons. It was dubious, but cheap, and being students...

Only thing worse than strip club salad bar is strip club all you can eat seafood. You, sir, are a braver man than I.

That's a deep cut man. Like you gotta KNOW Portland for that shit.
ThePositiveRN
I'm dying. I looked it up, and you can get a tuna salad sandwich from this place delivered on door dash for $3.50. The best part is the tuna is actually roast beef. Friggin lol.
digitalaaronscustoms
If the food delivery came with a strippergram, I'd be interested.
digitalaaronscustoms
It gets recommended to out-of-towners so often, if only for the sheer novelty of the place.

But also, I'd say hitting up a salad bar in ANY strip club would be a terrible life choice.

Visiting a strip club ain't a great life choice to begin with imho. They're sad places

I'm not Christian anymore, but they don't know what. 😼
