On a whole I agree with most of the guys here. For the most part, providers are far less hassle, less money in the long run, and if you're smart and see reputable ladies, you know you are in for a good time.
However, I know from personal experience, that strip club fun is possible.
There are key differences to provider fun and strip club fun thought.
First, I think generally, guys see a provider for one reason, really. Some guys will say they enjoy the company, or conversation, or feeling wanted or whatever (those are legit reasons, however in the end, sex is the primary motivation). Lets face it, most guys could find companionship for far cheaper, if sex wasn't a motivation, but sex is always a motivation.
1) Now, strip club fun is far more about the experience. To have a shot at scoring with any woman, let alone strippers, you have to get to know them. Be a gentleman, be kind, be funny, listen, have real conversations with them. It is the rare guy that is so hot/rich that can just throw around money and bang whomever. I consider myself to be a fairly attractive guy, when I smile at woman they smile back, however I'm not some Abercrombie model. I have found that treating strippers like real woman, with worth and value, instead of like a commodity (which they are being told every second they are working by the very environment they work at) is the key to having a chance. So be nice, don't get handsy (only touch when invited), be respectful, BE A GENTLEMAN!
2) Now many guys have said you have to throw around a lot of money. This is both true and false. Its the way you throw around what money you have that makes the difference. We all know drinks are over priced at clubs, but the fact is drinking is, quite frankly, one of the perks for the dancers. Most of us would love to be able to have a beer or whatever every now and then at work. So buy drinks! Buy drinks for your favorite dancers friends! Buy drinks for the wait staff, and bar tenders, and door guys! Be fun, be the party! I am not advocating drinking to excess, I believe and hope that we are all adults here, so act like it. Being memorable is important. These ladies see so many faces everyday, it has to be a blur very quickly. So stand out (in a good way, not in a I-got-so-drunk-I-pissed-myself-and-everyone-thinks-I'm-an-asshole way), be fun and exciting.
3) Tipping. Tipping is, universally, appreciated. These ladies don't get paid hourly, and they aren't there just to get drunk. Now, at the club I go, most of the ladies know I never get private dances and never sit at the table, but I always have 3 or 4 ladies hanging with me. How is this possible? I should also point out I am not rich, by any means, nor do I try to pass as such. However I do make it a point of tipping what I can, to every lady. Some guys have a favorite or are regulars, so if thats you then don't feel bad about focusing on one lady, however know that showing a little love to other ladies builds a positive reputation. And don't feel like you need to be slipping ones, dancers have stacks of ones, and some have told me it gets annoying to get judgemental looks when paying for things, so toss a few twenties around and your golden. At the same time seeming really generous. Sometimes its fun to have a little fun with tipping, I'll 60 or 80 in ones and the ladies with 'make it rain' so to speak. So, tip what you can, when you can!
4) What I get out of this. I'm sure you're saying to yourself, "this sounds like a lot of work and a lot of money". Yes and no. For me, this isn't about 'work or money', and having a lot of it or not. Its more about time and effort. When I go to the club its like a party, I go to have fun, with half naked (sometimes just naked) woman. I go to hang out with fun, exciting, usually wild ladies. When I have some free time, and don't want to have a few beers alone. The ladies know that, essentially I'm harmless, which is a good thing. I won't grope them or be crude. I won't treat them like meat or a product. I am always a gentleman. And as a consequence they open up and have fun with me. I've experienced most of the acronyms in the club, and at the least a make out session. Every time. I am not bragging, or saying its easy, or that every guy will experience this. It pays to be nice, and liked, and to not be an asshole. I think the only reason the bouncers and staff haven't ever given me or the ladies a hard time is because they like me.
