Strip clubs a mixed bag. Women at "higher end" clubs are usually very attractive on average. Those are the clubs with champagne rooms where guys will spend thousands to have hot women grind on them.

On the opposite end you have the sleazy dive joints with 40 year old single moms trying earn a quick buck. Lots of stretch marks, c-section scars, bad tattoos, etc.

And there are places that are everywhere in between. It really doesn't take much to be a stripper, just a willingness to flirt with men and take your clothes off. There's a place for almost every type of woman, because every guy has their type, as I long as they're not obese. But maybe that's even a thing now too.

Well I take you at your word and chock this up as another 'the sex industry is WAY too positively depicted in Western media' and not missing anything not engaging with it.

I'm actually thinking that Japan has it right with Geshias over strippers.

Never said there wasn't, I meant the concept of a pretty made up girl entertaining you with drinks, food and company over dingy stipper clubs.

Just clarifying what the other guy said, geisha is a completely different industry from strippers. Japan does have strip clubs exactly like those in the west (both shady and not) and they also have more traditional strip shows which are more like something you'd see at a Las Vegas theater. For the "pretty made up girl entertaining you with drinks, food and company" they have hostess bars / cabaret clubs.
