I am incredulous that "strip club etiquette" is a subject that has run to 6 pages! 
I am going to have to refer to Debretts and see if they have a section on this. Perhaps it's now taught at the better lady's finishing schools in 2019, alongside how to address nobility and how to enter a low sports car with decorum and finesse?
The average slapper on the ladder (or pole..) to becoming a prostitute is unlikely to judge her punters as either gentlemen or commoners I would have thought A more unlikely venue to worry about etiquette is hard to imagine.

I'm booked in at the optician tomorrow, I'll look into it then. He was unimpressed by the fact I had been driving using an old pair of glasses since one of the dogs decided my "good" pair were tasty looking and asked if I hit many things... With better correction I may be able to do as you suggest soon, as well as pose less risk to other road users

This thread has to deliver (haven't read beyond the first page yet).
I find them very weird places and still can't get over how a couple of friends (it was one of their stags), dropped over £1k each in a Bournemouth strip club! How!?
Another friend got shafted out of £650 because he wasn't paying attention when paying for a few danced on chip and pin.
Dreading my stag....

As another poster pointed out it is £20 a dance (though the girls will hustle for a "naughty forty" which is literally just two dances), if you end up buying a few rounds of drinks and then keep on buying dances off different girls then it could easily end up costing several hundred, I remember on one stag do someone spending something like £500 after two trips to a cash machine. £1k is ridiculous though, I might well be a few years out of date here but I certainly had been to a few central London strip clubs about a decade ago and unless you were buying champagne for all your mates too you'd have to be buying a heck of a load of individual dances and getting completely fleeced to spend that much.
On the couple of times I've done it, as mentioned in a previous post, paying for an hour in a private area (in reality more like two hours, just asked for the room until closing time) and buying a bottle of champagne (which my mate then split with me and brought another girl into the same private area), ended up costing circa £150-170 (IIRC) each for an entertaining two hours. Some people sat out in the main area could have easily blown that much on a series of 3-6 min £20-£40 a time dances and some rounds of drinks.
Oh completely, if my fiancé found I spanked £1k on a strip club - she'd have my balls and rightly so lol.
I believe they were doing some sort of extras in the private area. A few of us were smoking outside and ended up talking to some of the strippers who I think confirmed how the other two might have got to such a high figure. I was so bored in there, ended up talking to a friend about politics and then we cheered/hooted the bouncer that came on stage to fix a light bulb
.
What annoyed me more is that the strippers clearly knew I was a cheapskate without even seemingly doing anything, didn't get approached once 
No lie, the most group/silly/drunk fun I've had with a stripper was at a house party. We all pitched in and ordered a fireman, was for a woman. By the time he arrived we were all quite merry and so the blokes really got into it. After he finished, who rushed to get a pic with him/have a chat/banter - all the guys. It was good silly fun with a lot less of the seediness. I really don't mind others/judge, just don't see it myself.

I find it rather odd that in our enlightened times that such places still exist. I have personally never been and never plan to either. I find it a little sad that a good friend of my daughter who I have known since she was 7, is now working in a strip club.. Sorry "gentleman's club". Horses for courses I suppose.

Why is it sad? They can make absolute bank whilst studying at uni and many of them can do so without performing any sexual acts or being touched.

Happened on a stag do I attended in Germany, first night one of the guys dropped well over 1k on dances but he was absolutely wasted. Heard he tried to get the charges done as fraud afterwards but the bank just laughed.
The worse one was in London where they kept on asking for £1 every 10 minutes to even stay in the place - very weird.
To me there just another bar. What the women do there is not really something im that bothered about

I need to address my loss of 2 pairs of glasses recently before reading the smaller print I assume more posts per page will introduce. It may also help with sending WSPR spots to the wrong band as well

It won't change anything wrt that, it just means you have a longer page to scroll down!

It's just another form of entertainment.

A good stoning to death was seen as entertainment back in Brian's day. Things do change and often should.
As I said before, Strip clubs don’t appeal to me, I find them seedy.
But I don’t understand why you feel they shouldn’t exist; it’s the same argument that lost Grid Girls good secondary incomes because some silly people, with no knowledge of the industry, thought that it was somehow ‘wrong’. Yet the women actually doing the job loved it, fought against it, and continue to try and reverse the decision.
I watch a lot of fights, mostly MMA, and I don’t understand the need for ring girls whatsoever; they add nothing to the experience for me. But those girls make great money, receive a serious boost to their social media presence, and get to fly all over the world, and watch incredible fights from the best seats in the house. Perhaps they shouldn’t exist either, should we destroy all those opportunities too?
Gentlemen’s clubs create jobs for bar staff, management, bouncers, admin and more, giving good incomes, in a safe environment, to women who might otherwise not be able to make the money they need. For women working themselves through university, it’s potentially a much better option than flipping burgers in the local Maccy D’s.
Like I say, I don’t like them, I would try to discourage my daughter from working at one, and my son from visiting, but people are free to make their own choices, and their opportunities for income shouldn’t be jeapordised by people whose ideologies don’t match their own.
I do appreciate you’re not aggressively pursuing their closure, just taking the opportunity to chuck in my tuppence
