I occasionally visit male strip bars, and my stomach churn too. I watch, and most of the guys are working their ass off for a few dollars. Im a weird breed too, and personally dont even care to attend a strip bar.
And you talk about timewasters, you have groups of guys just looking and pointing and 1 may come up and tip...The ones I have known are doing dancing on the side, I just cant imagine there would be much money in it to do it exclusively. I had one dancer who I tipped tell me, "I do this just for fun, Im a manager in my real job..." which to me sounded like insecurity.
Again, Im just talking...not necessarily trying to stir you away from it LOL.
