A strip club seems like an environment where one would want to maintain situational awareness.

and how, exactly, would one do that if their drink was spiked?

he said’ “you can go sleep at home tonight if you can get up and walk away...””

A strip club seems like an environment where one would want to maintain situational awareness.

Which is precisely why the thieves drugged their victims.

I saw 7k on 2 credit cards while my late husband was in Spain of a layover with his crew. He claimed his drink was spiked, too. Way to nearly destroy a marriage. If I weren’t a Christian, it would have been.If one values their children, they’ll stay out of strip clubs, regardless what they might think of their wife.

I was mugged in New Orleans, right there in the French Quarter, at the tender age of 18.

I was fortunate for this to happen. I learned:

1. Never to wave your money around.

2. Keep big cash in a secret place; belt, in your sock, shoe, not your pocket or wallet. You can retrieve it, if you need some, in the stall in the men’s room.

3. Go bar/club hopping with friends. I was in the Air Force. ALWAYS have a wingman.

4. If you split with a chick, tell your wingman/men you’ll call them by X O’clock. No call means come get me.

5. If it feels sus, it usually is.

6. Alcohol can make you brave. It also makes you stupid. If you’re not a bada$$ gansta, don’t try to prove you can take on one.

Many years ago, in a “friend’s” bar in Washington, D.C., (the one over the Post Pub,) a beautiful girl got all cuddly with me on the couch. I quickly realized she was reaching for my pockets. The while thing was a pickpocket routine. Now in mid-life I have learned a few lessons, among them: alcohol has no helpful function. It is a cunning, baffling, powerful poison. Also, nothing good ever happens away from home after 10pm.

Nothing good ever happens in a strip club. I was dragged to one of those once when I was in the Marines. It was exactly how I pictured it would be. Dark and sleazy atmosphere. Loud rock music blaring. Lecherous men standing around a stage shoving dollar bills into the cleavage of scantily clad women gyrating in front of them. Young women sitting at the bar pretending to be your girlfriend if you buy a drink for them. So you buy them a drink at full price and the girl gets a glass of colored water with an umbrella in it. The bar makes nearly 100% profit on the non-alcoholic drinks and then splits it with her at the end of the night.

Whole thing is a ripoff. In my opinion, strip club are even more demeaning to the men that frequent them then the girls that work there.

Give me a nice, decent girl to date, I'll take her to a proper restaurant, maybe a movie, and I'll spend just as much money while getting a decent shot for some intimacy with her later.

If you can’t trust strippers and whores who can you trust?

Although I would trust a stripper and a whore more than I would a DC bureuacrat

Surprise!!

It wasn’t in West Virginia!
