Strip clubs are fun as long as you aren't spending money on the strippers. Just treat them like regular bars that happen to have naked ladies in them.

Just dropping by to say hi.

I'm English but have been living in SE Asia since 2002, and I've been visiting this part of the world since 93.

Never tell strippers that. They hate it. They espeially hate the people who sit along the front but never pay.

At the very least get like $50 in $10's and give something.

I like strip clubs. Good way to unwind after work. Never really pay for the private dances. Get a round of beers going with some buddies and just shoot the shit.

Put in another vote from my dearly beloved about hating strip clubs. Well, he's indifferent to them-- he doesn't see the point of them and doesn't enjoy them.

Personally, I like strip clubs if the guys are hot. Sadly Magic Mike is not that representative of strip clubs. Been looking for a decent strip club with some of my favorite flavors, but all the Asian men here in so Cal wanna be doctors and engineers, so... I have to go to SF, and they're all not into my gender lol. QQ.
Strippers are never into customers so it doesn't matter ;)
 
Not a fan of strip clubs either. Although, the times I've went have been fun..it's been literally more than a decade since the last time I went.

One of my "friends" used to drag the bunch of us to strip clubs all the time and I absolutely hated it. It got to the point where I just wouldn't hang out with them because this one dude kept wanting to go.

I don't have anything against that line of work, but the clientele tends to be really skeevy. Personally, I find it to be a terrible environment to be in.

I'm not dealing well with Trump presidency because I feel Asian ( even American Asians ) are just going to be prejudiced harder with his rhetorics. I said Asians because I doubt the average American can differentiate Chinese among east and perhaps fairer skin Asians, not that I think what he said was right though.

Ironically nowadays I think the most popular stuff involves a bunch of hot guys fighting for one girl (female fantasy) instead of the old stuff.

Probably because the viewing audience is more female?

Asia finally realize there's a market for reverse harem!

For me it's just hard to take either seriously when they are more akin to idealized caricatures but that doesn't I don't watch them sometimes.

What is this a reply to? Just curious. Is it from a thread or just your thoughts?

For me basically he has allowed public racism to rise again. Just gave racist folks the free reigns to say whatever they want to without much consequences. Also allowed White folks to actually feel threatened now.

That thread about White Fragility was a good read though. I enjoyed it.

Also, but my economic anxiety though.

Trump's rhetoric towards China, I assume

I met a stripper and she liked me, but then she moved back to Italy and told me I should never go to any because I'm not the kind of guy who should go to them. We keep in touch occasionally through whatsapp. But she was right, not really a fan.

Well I learned on Christmas that my Amazon Echo can tell me the location of the nearest strip club. Doesn't seem like my kind of place, though. I barely go to bars (mainly because I end up being the designated driver so I can't drink)

Happy birthday SRG01.
 
Never been to a strip club while I was still living in America, never saw the point. Like... it would be cheaper and probably better quality, to just watch porn with beer/drinks made by yourself lol.

Though, the ones here in Japan are fairly... interesting haha. They are pretty boring and filled with old dudes like mid 40s to maybe like 70+. Though I assume that's just because most strip clubs came into being popular during "their time." They are more boring burlesque shows and seems like a lot of the dudes that go are 'fans' and buy gifts and shit for the ladies. Kinda like hostess clubs (that's a whole nother story lol...) Heard conjecture and rumor that 'more' goes on sometimes at the strip shows, but they got my 5,000yen, once was enough lol.

Oh and they broadcast most of the show live on a small monitor outside the club haha. So its like, why go in.

I was super close to a pole dancer in Tokyo for my ex's birthday (she wanted to go clubbing back when there was a dancing ban). I guess I spoiled the mood but I really couldn't stand it.

Perhaps a strip club is less... on the nose... but some random "dance" (with a dancing ban) nightclub hiring a girl to get eyed by what was mostly Americans felt really putrid.

obvs, there was no indication that it would be there

Happy birthday.

The only thing I hate about being in my 30's is that my close friends are all married with babies now and so whenever there's a get together... it's all baby talk and well I can't relate yet.

Funny, I'm in my early 20's and it's already getting that way.

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone! Had a bit of cake -- not too much because it has cream in it -- and going to bed early because I have early classes to teach tomorrow.

Gogo dancers?

I remember a few months ago for my British friends birthday he wanted to go to the club but saw that the advertised dj had a gogo dancer group performance too lol. He thought they were strippers and got really shy about going. such a pure boy.

Did a google search. I guess so.
 
I got an 80s theme party coming up. How the hell did Asians dress back then?

I don't know. I was a 90s baby so my fashion was baggy clothing that lasted for quite a while. Ah shit, this just reminded me of Fubu and Lugz..... Now it just reminded me of Timbs. Deadass reminded me that I had a pair of timberlands in high school b.

Why does the rest of Asia import so much Tokyo Banana. I tried some today and it ain't all that.

I was a JNCO kid in the 90s no lie lol.
 
My wife and I just came back from a trip to the Philippines for a friend's wedding. We also stopped in Taiwan and I managed to snag some food pics, which I hear you all enjoy!


Some kind of warm of dessert thing covered in peanut powder!


Clams in a spicy soy marinade. Usually this dish features smaller clams, but these were pretty good as well.


Rice rolls with pickled veggies, pork, and chinese donut.


I can't remember what these were. Some sort of bun or perhaps dumping?


Night Market gearing up for the Lunar New Year.


Loads of people at the night market.


Table of food. I think the burrito things are bean curd?


Market stuff.


More market stuff.


Bacon?


There are just tables with heaps of food everywhere.


Grilled squid!

My favorite dish was actually duck blood in some sort of spicy broth. It was amazing but I forgot to take a picture.

I haven't been back since I was 6 but 2 days in Taiwan has cemented its place as my favorite Asian destination. Sorry HK, Manila, Macua, Tokyo, and Bali.

This coming New Year is going to be the first Lunar New Year I'm going to spend without my family. I feel like that's bad luck or something.

Looks like I'll have ample time to farm for them new Overwatch outfits.
