DATING ADVICE ;-)

Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my God!! I have the BEST idea I've had in a long time. How I wish throngs of people visited my blog!! This is good advice. Women need to heed it.

Now, before I give my enlightened and brilliant advice, I want to explain how it came to pass. For starters, I was on the phone talking to a male friend who was telling me how he and his buddy go this strip joint almost every week. My jaw dropped. They're in their 20s, fairly good looking with okay jobs but they're spending more than they make at these strip clubs!! I am in awe that they would do this. Then, I spoke to another friend of mine who said that at one time in his life he easily dropped $400 a night at one of these clubs. (And, for the record, most of my male friends are not stripper club enthusiasts.) I myself have NEVER been inside one but I'm mildly curious. I would go some night and check it out... why not? It could be interesting.

So, I'm in the car coming back from dinner with some friends and we drive past this one "gentlemen's club" with a full parking lot. I'm floored. What the f***!? Do this many people go to these places nightly??? And then it hit me... what a great freaking idea!

I have several pretty, intelligent friends who have been single for an average of 4 years between them. They've tried online dating, going out to various outings, being set up, book clubs, ski clubs, you name it. Still, they come back with the nightmare stories. He couldn't open doors, wasn't polite, talked about himself endlessly, smelled bad, yada, yada, yada...

Women of America!! Stop wasting your time chasing men who may not even want you! You are missing out on a valuable resource! All over America there are clubs filled with men who WANT a woman. Yeah, probably not YOU, but trust me - they WANT a woman. They're just too lazy or chicken or socially awkward to go get one the normal way and so they sit and fantasize at these strip joints. CAPITALIZE!! You have a captive audience available for your whims. I say you all start showing up to strip clubs in smart little enclaves. Dressed sexy, but not desparate. (You probably can't compete with the strippers anyway so don't dress the part.) But you're a real girl and you're there and you're available, which is not true of the strippers. When those horny-as-hell guys get tired of trying to get the 44D Barbie doll to go home with them you're gonna start looking like a pretty good deal. And girls, these are not cheap men! Remember, they probably drop, on average, $250 a night at these places so if you can get him to walk you to your car and take your number there might be some nice dates ahead (possibly to classier strip joints, but I digress...).

So, there you have it! My advice is to put on your cleavage suit, swallow some liquor and smile as you sit in a gentlemen's club and cooly await your chance to save some shmuck from more expensive and fruitless pursuits while nabbing yourself a potential mate!
