Why Empty Strip Clubs are Sometimes the Most Fun

You’ve probably heard this story before. Or maybe it even happened to you.

Someone went to a strip club, looked inside, and saw that it was totally dead, and decided to either not go in or leave soon after going inside. If someone ever asks them about the club, they say not to bother going because it’s always dead.

This can make sense in some cases, and nobody wants to go to a dead nightclub, but sometimes, slow strip clubs can be your best bet. It just depends on the experience you’re looking for. And in some cases, you may find exactly what you’re looking for at a slower strip club.

Here’s why.

People Go To Strip Club For Different Reasons

On the surface, it may seem like everyone goes to strip clubs for the same reason: To see naked women.

While that’s obviously a big part of it, the real reason is more nuanced. Some guys or groups go for the nightclub vibe. They want a crowded club, music pumping, and people throwing money everywhere.

I’ve been to plenty of clubs like this, and it’s a great time.

But, sometimes people going to a strip club want something a little more personal. They want to meet a stripper and chill for a bit. They want to flirt, drink, and maybe get a dance here and there. Overall, they want to spend the evening with a few hot girls in a very flirty situation.

There’s nothing wrong with that either, and sometimes it can be great fun. I’ve had times like that in Vegas clubs. Just getting a few dances with a stripper and chilling the rest of the time. Before I knew it, it was 5 a.m. and the sun was coming up.

It’s this second type of experience where going to a slower club can make all the difference.

When a strip club is popping off, the dancers don’t really want to stay with any one person or group once the money slows down. There’s too much opportunity elsewhere, so once the money stops flowing, they go and look for a new customer.

When a strip club is slow, the strippers know they aren’t going to make huge money that night. So if they can make a few hundred and chill with some guy they think is pretty cool, that’s fine with them. They actually prefer that over just sitting in the empty club waiting for a customer to walk in.

Another benefit is that strippers who work on slow nights are usually there because they’re just bored and prefer to be at the club. They know the club won’t be crowded. Every stripper who works at a club gets to know the busy times and slow times, so it’s no secret to her.

If she’s at the club at a slow time, she wants to be there trying to make a little money instead of being at home doing nothing.

This is key, because as I always suggest, look for the stripper who wants to have a little fun. And a bored stripper who would rather be at a slow club than stuck at home is probably up for some extras, or possibly giving out her phone number for some action outside of the club.

I can tell you from years of experience that the easiest and cheapest strip club extras I ever got at a strip club were doing slow times. The reason the extras came cheap and easy is that the stripper wanted to do it, so money wasn’t as important to her.

This only happens at a slow strip club.

Just Watch Out For This One Thing

The one problem with going to a slow strip club is that you can’t just “blend in” and stay under the radar. A lot of guys I know like to go to a strip club and blend in at first until they have time to scope out the place and get a feel for the different girls.

In a crowded club, this is pretty easy. Even if a girl comes up to you and asks for a private dance, you can say no, and she just walks away because there are plenty of other customers to ask.

In a slow club, you’ll have to be fine with telling girls “no” in a friendly way that doesn’t make you come off like a jerk. It’s not that hard, but I know some guys struggle to tell a stripper “no” when she’s hard-selling a private dance package.

Don’t Always Write Off a Slow Strip Club

So, before you declare a strip club is dead, decide what kind of experience you want to have. If you want a wild night like out of a rap video, then you definitely want that packed club atmosphere.

But if you’re looking to chill with one or two strippers and maybe get a phone number or some extras, the slower club is your best bet.
