tinajones   10 #109 Posted September 28, 2003 y'know the wierdiest thing was in my head i imagined a stereotypical situation happening; young girls in tarty clothes getting hassled by middle aged men.  the reality was me and my mates who are 25-35, in trousers, coats and flat shoes (still looking attractive but not in an 'available' or flirty kind of way) getting surrounded by normal guys 22-30 kind of age and they reallly BELIEVED we would take them up on their offer - they hovvered around us for our reply. normally we would answer in a comedy fashion but we we all went dead silent - even gobby me.  did THEY feel so empowered that some 'out of their reach' type women found them sexy? did they not realise its the dancers job to make the customer feel attractive?

DaBouncer   13 #110 Posted September 28, 2003 What I can't believe is the amount of replies this thread has had. It must be a record.  And TJ give me a shout if you spot any of those creeps in my place. I'll make sure they get thrown out the fire exits head first.

JonHarrison   10 #111 Posted October 3, 2003 To be honest Tina, fellow men (not sure to call them that) like that would be that low wherever they go. I have been there in the past but would never ever think to be so downright rude and inconsiderate to a woman even in there or out! I should think that would go for the vast majority of their custom.  It is true that the place is said to 'satisfy a need'. I do not agree. I see it as a different entertainment venue. How some lowlifes take it is up to them.  BUT.... if it could be shown that it would keep that type of behaviour off the streets then they could close the place (no offence to you daBouncer). Unfortunately it won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Clair-bear   10 #113 Posted November 4, 2003 Hi,  I haven't got anything philosophical and / or intelligent to say but.....I think that men that go to Spearmint Rhino are sad perverts! (hehehehe).  Why are you willing to spend so much money when you can buy mags for £3/4. Plus, you can ogle any number of slappers in town on a Fri / Sat night..........for FREE!  It doesn't make sense to me (maybe it's cos I'm a girl?!?).  Clair x Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Jack Yerbody   10 #114 Posted November 4, 2003 Jazz mags vs Spearmint Rhino...discuss!!!   I'm one of the guys (I think) that Spearmint Rhino is aimed at - high income, single, young, male - but it's just a little bit seedy for me. I like ladies, especially when they're naked, but I do feel a bit creepy when it comes strip-clubs.  Maybe I'm just not sophisticated enough.

johnjo   10 #118 Posted December 4, 2003 I went a few Months ago on a work Stag do.  I got free tickets to get in as my Hairdresser is also the DJ there. Most of the women were well fit, a couple of them were rough. The girls were friendly enough, but apart from one, once they realised you were not gonna pay for a dance they dropped interest in you like a hot spud.  The one girl who kept chatting was real nice and friendly. I had no dances but still spent a fortune on beer and tips fopr the waiting staff and Pole Dancers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Sharon   10 #119 Posted December 5, 2003 Personally I don't think there is anything wrong with SR. Women have been selling sex for centuries and probably always will. It's just a fact of life! At least with these sorts of establishments the women can work in safety. And as many have you have pointed out, it's the woman's choice earn their living this way.  I for one would like to see SR have the odd night with male dancers for female clientele. I'd go! I'd enjoy seeing a well muscled, fit, scantily clad gorgeous bloke dancing for my viewing pleasure. Those sorts of male model, six pack types are hard to find and so far out of my league anyway its the only way I'd get to see one up close!  Also, why is it sleazy for a man to ogle women, but generally regarded as a "bit of fun" when a woman does the same to a man? I imagine I'm not the only woman out there who enjoys looking at the male body? Come on girls, back me up!  PS: To anyone from SR reading this, I'm serious about the male dancers!
