You probably just don't like going out to loud ass places, I resonate with that, but you're selling yourself short if you're not trying to hit those spots at least a couple of times.
Only time you're going to waste a ton of money on a strip club is the first time you go. After that, you understand the hustle real quick. I used to be the same, and then went wild on one girl, like a fukking idiot. But, once you get over that, the stripclub ain't bad. Girls are nice, and if you got a group ya just gonna talk shyt with an occasional broad on your lap- it's not expensive, once you understand that all these girls are trying to hustle.
As for clubs, wasn't really a fan, because I couldn't dance. Once I did (took lessons), I still wasn't that into it, but atleast I wasn't bored in a corner, when I had to go out with my boys.
I've been to barcades and most of them are really lame after like half-an-hour. I think the idea of them, is to serve as a conversation starter or something, but most people are just gonna clog a machine with their boys anyway- it's really the same as a club, except you're standing in front of machine for most of the night.
