To start a male lap dancing club?

I just wondered how the males who frequent these type of esablishments would take to knowing their dps were in there paying family money on some guy waving his todger in her face? I suspect the cries of

"Its harmless girly fun,everyone does it"
or
"I dont want to go but all my mates went and i didnt want to look stupid!"Wouldnt be quite as meaningfull if the boot were on t'other foot.

And there was me going to ask where this club is? Sad

Chubfuddler · 09/05/2012 14:33

God I can't think of much worse.

ledkr · 09/05/2012 14:34

Would there be demand? I mean, oily dudes doing the 'helicopter willy' dance would be a very niche taste.

MixedClassBaby · 09/05/2012 14:36

The power imbalance doesn't tip this way so the same arguments wouldn't apply.

I once saw a stripogram at a friends birthday. It was utterly vile, all I could think of was how dirty his toe nails were, so God knows what the bits of him you couldn't see were like. I imagine a male lap dancing club would be full of similar specimens, and now actually feel a bit sick thinking about it....

Softlysoftly · 09/05/2012 14:38

Problem is most women wouldn't waste their money "remembers horror of squirty cream covered men shaking bananas at numerous 18th birthday parties shudder"

Chubfuddler · 09/05/2012 14:39

Lol at helicopter willy.

ledkr · 09/05/2012 14:41

You are right of course it would never address the balance but I for one would love to see some mens reaction to it. The ones who go to them and expect their dps to lump it.

My own dh doing the helicopter willy dance is bad enough. To pay someone else?!

Bumblefeck · 09/05/2012 14:42

O god I imagine that would be awful

Sitting there while some bloke waggles his bits in your face and rubs his hairy arse-crack on your lap

flatpackhamster · 09/05/2012 14:43

Writing as a man, I don't see why you shouldn't start one. No, I wouldn't care if my wife went to one. And before the female supremacists roll in to town, no, I've never been to one and don't want to.

Of course, what you were really doing was not asking 'should I start one' but ranting at a double standard which doesn't exist except in your mind.

ledkr · 09/05/2012 14:43

Dead right,it would be hideous and most men cant dance for toffee anyway so would look even more ridiculous.

Oh thanks for the kind lecture flatpack I do in fact know my own mind and you are right this double standard doesnt exist yet I would be interested to see what would happen if it did. I know of many men who wouldnt like it and as you have said you dont go to them yourself then im unsure as to why you are being so defensive.

It's been some time since I've seen a naked or semi naked man but the idea doesn't appeal to me.

However, if it was a club where Alexander skarsgard reclined topless on a couch whilst holding down a witty intelligent conversation I'd sell all my children belongings to go!

I do fear this idea will never catch on but I think women would prefer that to paying for a lap dance.

ItsAPublicForumWhine · 09/05/2012 14:48

female supremacists

What's one of these?

ChickensHaveNoLips · 09/05/2012 14:49

Charlie, that is a different kettle of fish. That man is beautiful

Voidka · 09/05/2012 14:51

I'd go :o

JosephineCD · 09/05/2012 14:52

I don't think most men would care tbh. There are plenty of male stripper nights anyway which is basically the same thing. There just isn't the demand to have dedicated venues for them.

Lovecat · 09/05/2012 14:53

Now there's an idea for Dragon's Den... gorgeous semi-naked men holding intelligent conversations... now how do I kidnap entice David Tennant and Benedict Cumberbatch to get the thing off the ground?

WyrdMother · 09/05/2012 14:53

I'd pay to have a nice cup of tea and a chat with the right bloke...

Don't know how much you'd have to pay Bill Bailey to do it though.

lolajane2009 · 09/05/2012 14:55

i dont want a man waving his willy in my face though.

Megatron · 09/05/2012 14:57

Good lord no. It's bad enough DH doing his helicopter impression with his todger, I think a stranger waving it in my face would quite put me off my pina colada.

Megatron · 09/05/2012 14:59

Bronze are we married to the same man? Grin
