    Default No gal's allowed?

    hello all,

    This may be in the wrong section, but I figured since it was a general question regarding clubs in NYC and Queens, I'll chance it. Would there EVER be an objection to going with a boyfriend, i.e. no admittance to a particular club, "guys only", even if your visiting for prospective employment? It's a dumb question, but I needed to ask. My BF hasn't gone to a club in ages, and I have his support in my endeavor. He brought it up, and damned if I know.

    thanks!

    p.s. - I was thinking flash, or dolls, heck maybe scores...who knows..(damn am I not the green one) LOL

    I'm on the west coast, and I have never worked in a club that didn't allow female customers. The only exception is a gay strip club in Portland Oregon.

    However I know the east is a lot more conservative, and I would be willing to bet they would let you in, heck, a customer is a customer! I don't have any problem with the female customers in the clubs I work at, so long as they aren't there to slam on the dancers or to try to pick up on the male customers (prostitutes) in the bar.
    I'd say call the club and confirm the hours and directions and if they have a problem with you being a woman, they will say so right on the phone when you call.


    Promote yourself and earn more money! This is a business that is owned by strippers for strippers. Let's make that money!

    There are some clubs who only let women in if accompanied by a man. If you are with your bf it shouldn't be a problem.

    Lara-
    I work at dolls and we have a LOT of couples - who come into the club. We also have all-girl bachelorette parties and a few lesbian couples- as long as you are of age , they don't bother you at the door.
    We get most of our couples on Saturdays - late night, when it's busiest - or on Friday nights...
    Only once did we get a girl come into the club solo- and she was VERY drunk and decided to jump on stage and strip, revealing her very tattooed and pierced body :-/ (sorry - tangent there - but it was funny)
    But point being - we don't have any no gal rules

    Most all clubs have a male-chaperone rule - so i'm sure most any club in NYC would be okay with you going out with your bf...

    I've only worked in Phoenix, and both of those clubs had frequent female customers. One was more of a show-bar and had lots of frat-parties from ASU who brought along their dates. (The rest of the customers were mainly traveling businessmen types). Occasionally you'd see random couples. It was no big deal. The other one was more of a "downtown neighborhood topless bar" that got lots of "just knocked off work and want a beer and a table dance before I go home" guys. We had a few gals who were friends of the dancers or girlfriends of the bartender, etc., etc., etc., who would wander by after work. It was all pretty friendly.

    I've also been in two clubs on the east coast, both as a visitor. One was in South Carolina (DAMN I can't remember the name! Something like Pure Platinum in Columbia, SC). I went in there with a friend who was dancing there (it was her first night and I was there for some moral support!). There were several couples. Again, no biggie.

    Then, my BF and I visited Cheetah's in Atlanta. Once again, a few couples. One of the dancers happened to tell me that they were VERY suspicious of date-less girls coming in cuz they were usually hookers. Otherwise, however, dates were fairly common.

    One down side, though. Lots of dancers DON'T LIKE girls coming in with their boy friends for the simple reason that a guy with a date is FAR less likely to end up dumping a few hundred dollars in the VIP room. Also, LOTS of girls who come in are looking for a job, and want to talk the dancer's ear off without paying for her time. If you want to ask a dancer some questions, go ahead, but it's a great idea for your b/f to tip her for her time.

    A little aside -- I used to smoke, and I still do when I go into a club. When I went into the club in S.C., I had cig's and this one male customer -- a really nice guy who bot me a drink and VERY nicely asked me if I'd dance for him and was all broken hearted when I told him I didn't work there -- saw that I was smoking and asked me for a cig. (He joked that he had "quit buying" as a start to quitting smoking!). I gave him one, and he tipped me a dollar. I had a nice scooped neck t-shirt on -- lots of cleavage -- and for the rest of the night, every time he needed a cig, he'd slip a dollar in my cleavage as a tip! I think I made about $10 off him without so much as flashing a nipple.

    Hey Susan, just out of curiosity was the club you visited in SC Platinum Plus? If so, how long ago were you there?
    By the way, most of the clubs in the area I am from require that all girls have a male escort with them.

    There are a handful of "high mileage" clubs in the NYC/NJ area that definitely do not allow female customers into the club, either alone or with a guy. The obvious reason is that there is LOTS OF ACTION going on in these clubs, and both club management and the regular customers do not want to take a chance that some customer's girlfriend/SO/wife will catch him flagrante dilecto so to speak. But the clubs you mentioned, SCORES, Dolls, Flash, all have no problem with female customers as long as they come in with a guy.

    Where i work now, does not like "girls only". I have talked to management about this and they said to much hassle, they prefer them to be accompanied with a guy or guys. I see the point, we get alot of customers and some women tend to come in causing problems with the dancers. It happened in Lauderdale. So they stopped it in the club i worked there too. I have visited quite a few clubs in my area, and some allowed girls only. Some do not.
    It seemed to me if there was alot of security personel, women only were allowed, in some clubs. Others no matter what said "no way".

    thank you all,

    It looks like I'll be visiting Dolls this Saturday night. Gees, I am nervous, and not even auditioning. (Get a grip girl..I know) It will be a learning experience for me, and its a good nervous..excited, combined with serious study. (I don't know how to dance, dress, wear my hair, approach customers.....) Thanks for all your responses, my BF is really a great guy, but he worries for me. Gotta love him.

    I am 29 and unemployed for too long, and bills have to be paid. Where there is a will there is a way.

    You all are wonderful, this chat site is remarkable.

    thanks again,

    Lara

    Some clubs don't allow unescorted females. In unincorporated Houston, in Harris county St. James and Houston Dolls, only allow one woman per male escort and dancers cannot dance for women patrons.

    A club in any state cannot disallow you entrance just because your female. It's illegal, discriminatory, and only a private club would be allowed to do this, which most clubs are not. Now, as for all ladies being escorted this is legal, technically, because it's a safety protocol. While it does have some safety ramifications, more often than not it's done to keep lesbians/bulldykes out, seeing as how the hard-core lesbian/bulldykes are often BIG troublemakers. You shouldn't have a problem going anywhere with you're bf. Have fun and enjoy it.

    not to sound like I am disciminating, but I actually dont MIND that my club doesnt allow women.
    Sometimes women get catty and dont like if you approach theirmen, even if it IS a striplub.
    As a matter of fact, when I WENT to a striplub with a couple of friends, girls didnt come up to us cause they thought we were with BF's. Plus guys can be less nervous with out their girlfriends or wives...etc...

    Lexi, you're right - some women DO get catty about that - how odd. I usually don't approach couples too much unless they seek me out or tip on stage - and if i do, i usually approach the girl first and say something.

    I am glad our club allows women , though - because - the bachelorette parties spend a LOT of money surprisingly! (most of the time).

    Also - vip77 is right about the gender discrimination - but a big reason as to why things don't change is the same reason some clubs get away with an age-limit discrimination ( no amittance unless you are 25) ..people don't know their rights and never question them

    Lara- I'll PM you regarding NYDolls

    Girls are allowed in many locations if they have a gentleman to follow them. And on the plus side is that the entrance fee is actually waved for females. I, as a dancer, always approach couples and engage in conversation with them because usually the girl is just too shy to ask for a lapdance. I had a couple that were celebrating their 4 anniversary. HE paid for a lap dance but she said she did not want one. Well I could kind of tell she did so as a small present I gave one to her for free. She appreciated it. SO go to the strip club with your boyfriend and have a ball!! Good luck!!

    Hi all,

    Just wanted to drop a note. My visit to Doll's was great! (see my review) Nervous as all, my Bf and I really enjoyed ourselves, and had a great time. Two more weeks, and I'll get up the courage, as well as get my bod toned a bit more . Going shopping for my shoes so I can start the "breaking in shoes, so I don't fall ever so non-gracefully on my arse" period.

    thank you all for your support!

    Lara
