Yall do realize it's not the woman's fault in this situation, right?

I thought all women on strip clubs were ugly.

Mezza my friend, i like how you see things with real eyes. I can say from my own experience that is a waste of time to try to convince them that they have the wrong view. Because the fact is that, they know its wrong, but they lie too each other and they even lie to themselves in order to seem "cool", to build fake appearances. Instead of trying to convince them, you can lead by example, by doing things different. Be the change you want to see in life and maybe, just maybe they will see that there's another way. Or perhaps they won't, but you will feel better by being yourself and not fake for the sake of "popularity". Act like a human being and let them act like mysogynists, if this is what they choose. Much love brother and keep it real!

OP is trolling which is awesome as he managed to get me to read most of this thread *Tips Hat

Its a business. Goods and services. Nothing more. All parties are happy. End of story.

Situation: OP doesn't need to save anyone. If its just roommates. Ignore, put headset back on and go back to his own business. If they are friends, same situation only a little more of a "No Thanks guys, not interested".

Myself: I find Strip clubs very relaxing. No one says you have to get a lapdance. The main requirement or you will likely be asked (in a nice way of course) is to make sure you are buying something. If you don't want to spend money on the ladies or gentlemen, Beer is a great choice! Just expect to pay at least 4x Regular bar prices for the one.

Worth it? : You can only judge if you experienced it. If you went and didn't have a good time, then its not worth you money. If you did, well it speaks for yourself.

tl;dr - Its a business that is not going away. All parties that partake are happy.

Deus Ex and System Shock 2 solve all problems.
Except this one.

My opinion: Nothing wrong with those guys, those women work their and they get money that way. They choose this way, not society, or the males or smth like that. Also they have the right to view a women in any possible way they want. If they only want to see ass and tits thats fine.

Also stop crying, just because it's your opinion doesen't mean it's right. Let people live their lives.

Also question about your gender, are you a women or are you gay?

You are so bad op, just stop... worst attempt ever.

Just wanted to throw my 2 cents in.

I am a woman. I am a completely heterosexual woman (I like men, for us simpleminded folk). And...dun dun dun...I have been to strip clubs that have women dancers. One night, although I didn't take off any clothes, I even got up there and danced with one of the strippers (most clubs have different rules for women touching the dancers, as usually we're not as threatening as a lumber jack).

I didn't see anything wrong with it. For the most part, these are well adjusted women who are comfortable with their sexuality and their own skin and this is the way they chose to make their living. It's quick, mostly easy money. Sure, you hear stories about women who chose to go into stripping for darker reasons, such as drugs, etc. But again, it is their decision to do so.

Therefore you can't say it's objectifying women. They made the choice to do this, not the men (or women) who chose to go there and spend their money. You may not agree or like that, but if they want to do it, who are you to say it's wrong? If these women felt like they were being objectified, or if was truly that awful for them, they'd quit. I know some women do it only because they feel they can't do anything else or because they need the fast money, but in my experiences, they are a small minority.

Live and let live. If it's not your thing, don't participate. But just because you don't enjoy it, doesn't mean that others are completely wrong for doing so.

Personally I wouldn't frequent a strip club, as IMHO it's a waste of money, misogynistic, sleazy and slightly sad. That said, it's only my opinion, and many would disagree with me.

A society without free choice and the right to an opinion would be a very disheartening one. Respect for taking a stand for what YOU believe in, but however much you disagree with your friends' choices, aren't they equally entitled to do as THEY see fit? You're not likely to change their beliefs, just as they are unlikely to change yours. You've let them know your opinion, and they've done the same. If you want to maintain the friendship, you'll probably just have to accept the way things are :)

"the rest of you will get your comeuppance later, I suppose."

I almost pissed myself laughing at the thought of this.

You're just being narrow-minded. Just because you're christian doesn't mean all people have a way in life. Yeah, most of them are whores, dancing for money in the club then taking it in their holes at the end of the program from a client that talked to her employer. Grow out of religion son, that just makes you dumb.

Man I know how you fell the world is just getting worst but you have to adapt or the future is going to crush you really hard. People don't have that respect and treat other people like trash but heads up try to talk to them find some common sense. I don't want to insult you but the religion background will make you more vulnerable around other people so don't think that way. As an friendly advice I'd say to change the way you think be more like them or change your friends. Good luck!

I thought... this is a gaming forum...

Comeuppance?

Yes, you're definitely the moral superior now.

Yes, she's definitely stalking you, mezzarocks.

I have friends who happen to be strippers. They dance because it's their CHOICE, not because they were pressured or forced to. They're allowing men/women to watch them take their clothes off. It's a well-paying job and some dancers genuinely do enjoy their job. It's all about choice; you chose not to go to a strip club, which is completely fine, and your friends chose to go to a strip club, which is also completely fine. If anyone gives you a hard time about choosing not to go, then fuck them. But you should also take in to mind that not everyone holds the same 'beliefs' and 'values' that you do. If your friends choose to go to a strip club, it's not hurting you. Just let them be. Also the whole "Oh god, they're being objectified and forced to dance for pervy men, because, well, who the hell would CHOOSE to do this on purpose?!" mentality is pretty damn offensive. You're not above strippers, you're not above your friends, and they're not above you.

On another (semi-related) note, Strip Clubs are super fun.

Understand 2 things:

1) Young men are horny idiots. This is biology. It's pretty much par for the course over the last few hundred thousand years. Learn to expect it.

2) The strippers have willfully put themselves into a profession that preys on horny idiots. They're just as bad if not worse than them. Do NOT, I repeat DO NOT feel bad for them.

Thank you OP for finally giving me the chance to use this.

Get new roommates.

I'd push you in a corner too for being such a buzzkill.

I'm late to the party here, but just ignore them. If they want to be stupid and childish, let them. Go do your own thing.

Meh.

Meh, people act stupid alot. It doesn't mean they're bad. As a Christian, maybe you've heard of a thing called tolerance.

And you speak like women never take advantage of men.

"they even serve alcohol on our campus in 1 place, dont understand why they bring in this sort of shit when it is a place to study, keep corrupting hte kids"

Some people can drink a beer without getting shitfaced. I'm not sure if you're trolling anymore, but... I mean seriously, let other people make their own choices. You don't have to control what everyone else does, just what you do. I didn't drink until I was 21, I don't visit strip clubs and have no desire to. I also don't tell other people not to do either of these things (although if asked, I'll say that I think underage drinking is a bad decision if done excessively, as it harms brain growth in younger people), or make threads complaining about such behavior. Live and let live. However, if people are dicks to you, then try not to associate with them. Your roommates sound like assholes, not because they went to a strip club, but because of how they treated you.

wow seriosly you get upset over alchol? I can understand being irritated at your roommates but wow you are holding a rally that is some liberal bs
