Unpopular Opinion: Strip clubs are the best place to learn “Game”

Clear-Rest-988 · 2026-06-15T17:16:48+00:00

This is extremely flawed because the women in strip clubs are incentivized and often required to talk to the men there. Also their interaction with you is often disgeneous so there's so no real metric for how well you're doing. They are operating as sales people inherently where as women in the real world don't have a predicated idea of what you represent to them. You're trolling with this right?

Practicing "game" at a strip club is like practicing stand up comedy with a laugh track button

In fairness, I could see how going to a strip club could help with anxiety towards women in general, especially if you have sexual anxiety or just find it too intense.

But going there with the intention of trying to waste as much of their time as possible is just you practicing being annoying. It's quite literally like going into a restaurant, not buying food but just trying to keep the waiter's attention as long as possible.

This has the potential to get you hooked to strip clubs, by the way. You practice your shtick in the strip club, you get good feedback from them (because that's their job), you go in the real world and interact, women don't care for you, and then you think "ah shit, if only I had more practice".

Then eventually you start spending money there in the guise of "more practice". They sell connections at strip clubs, not just bodies.

This sounds incredibly stupid but also kinda fun.

YetzirahToAhssiah · 2026-06-15T17:25:19+00:00

I think talking to strippers is good for other reasons:

Maintaining sexual tension, eye contact. Getting used to being around beautiful women. Realizing that it's not that missing ingredient that's going to change your life.

8r4ndz3r0 · 2026-06-15T17:35:36+00:00

I thought of the same thing back in the day. It ain't rocket science. Arguably, one of the ways to overcome anxiety and intimidation with 8s and above in a relatively convenient and controlled, albeit fantasy environment. A few smooth and confident off-the-cuff interactions at a strip club can go a long way toward building those seduction muscles in more traditional situations.

The thing is your monkey brain does not distinguish between stripper and regular women. So I agree talking to them is perfectly fine practice, learning to feel calm around women. Just dont get addicted to it or blow much money. And they are still people at the end of the day.

sexypirates · 2026-06-15T17:30:38+00:00

there is merit to this advice; practice keeping the convo flowing, trying different body language, watching how dancers interact, keeping your wits and being able to treat beautiful women like people can be incredibly helpful, especially if you need help in these areas

ExtraordinaryBeetles · 2026-06-15T18:33:10+00:00

I think I understand what you're saying. Thank you for writing a real post and not some AI bullshit. Fuck the haters on here.

If I catch your drift...

Strippers, slipping into their work persona, are trying to keep conversations highly stimulating in a sexual way. If you can't match the vibe they're gonna move on. They are TRYING to latch on to things you're saying and doing that seem like you're flirting successfully because they are trying to show you signs that they're interested. But if you're acting like a fucking dork it's going to be difficult to do it. So you let them steer the conversation a bit and copy their swag a bit after enough exposure... then try to work on banter with the same energy.

random_question4123 · 2026-06-15T21:44:07+00:00

I kinda agree with this but at the same time I don't. A dancer that stays with you even when you've already said that you're not paying is a girl that is either resting / scouting for the next guy and/or sees you as someone that's safe and not going to harass her or try some shit.
While it's a good idea to be considered as safe, you're also building no tension. Because if you were, she would request to give a lapdance over and over until she eventually walks away

No_Arm_4505 · 2026-06-15T20:21:53+00:00

As funny as it sounds, OP’s absolutely correct.

Most men can’t even work up the courage to look in a woman’s direction outside in the street, let alone approach them. Also, the whole time you’re approaching a girl in the wild, you can sense the 67% of her that is ready to bolt the conversation if there is ever a lull.

Here, you can relax. You know what these women want. They know what you want. Once you let them know you don’t want to dance and they don’t skedaddle, they actually sometimes just want to chat. It’s a very relaxed environment where you can actually learn how to talk to girls.

wickedwing · 2026-06-15T22:37:19+00:00

I dated several dancers when I was relatively poor and couldn't buy their time simply by treating them as human beings. It taught me a ton on how to talk to people. This doesn't work when the club is busy.

Nabbzi · 2026-06-15T20:43:16+00:00

I go to car dealership and hold my frame and try to talk to the dealer as long as possible until he gives up.

I watched all the James Bond and Mission impossible films, i'm ready to be a super secret spy now.

BlueRibbon998 · 2026-06-16T02:19:01+00:00

This is terrible advice. Going to a strip club to chat it up with the dancers, knowing full well you have no intention of dropping money is not only a good way to upset the dancers, but also get banned from the establishment.

Learning game via women in an environment who see every interaction as transactional is a terrible way to gain experience. If they know you're paying, they'll tell you everything you want to hear and laugh at the most unfunniest thing. If you're just offering lip service, they'll eventually walk away and find the next person. The best way is trial by fire. Take a risk with cold approaches. See what works, see what doesn't work and build on the things that do.

Kronuk · 2026-06-15T17:50:32+00:00

Getting sucked into being a patron of the strip club isn’t going to be that valuable imo, but if you can befriend strippers you will definitely learn game.

I’ve known girls who strip or onlyfans ones and they know serious game, but I didn’t meet them while they were working. Chilling with them or watching how they navigate social situations is often pretty impressive. They normally can flip on a switch to attract almost any guy they want. They’re hustlers and very socially agile, able to very strongly read emotions.

A lot of behaviors that work for women to be attractive translate to men to some capacity, even if not the exact same thing. They’re masters of push pull for example, mainly cause their whole act is really a push to make money, but they’re pulling at the same time.

TheCaribbeanRedditor · 2026-06-15T19:20:48+00:00

Strip club are in no way a good place to learn game.

There are key fundamental differences between the personality and motivation of your average woman VS a stripper.

kingdoodooduckjr · 2026-06-15T20:19:42+00:00

Are you sitting in there without spending money? Thats a weird thing to do . I assume you are a grown man and understand this.

javierthhh · 2026-06-15T21:38:45+00:00

If you can’t literally be near the presence of women before becoming a bumbling Buffon then yeah strip clubs have value to you. Otherwise I disagree OP. Going to the strip clubs to talk to women is just wasting time.

DeliberatelyInsane · 2026-06-16T01:18:25+00:00

There used to be days when the advice on this sub used to have some substance. Nowadays it is often somebody spewing bullshit.

In a hypothetical scenario where a man ‘improves’ his game by going to a strip club, you know what happens after that? He goes outside hoping his skills would carry him. Only to find he has not learnt to grab the attention of women in the first place because he has been talking to strippers who in turn had been talking to him because they had a reason to. A girl in the street—she has no reason to talk to him. So this man more often than not crashes at the first move itself.

Horrible, horrible advice.

subwaytofu · 2026-06-16T03:39:25+00:00

a stripper (not an offensive term btw it really is just a job) will see right through this. you would probably have better luck telling them honestly what you’re trying to do and letting them advise you. at least at gentlemen’s clubs the dancers are expected to be a little bit more elegant and personable, they would be good people to get advice from if you’re looking to develop your game. strippers have seen men at their best and their worst, they would be able to give you honest and probably not very judgmental feedback.

Jason__Hardon · 2026-06-16T08:40:14+00:00

If by game you mean having sex with strippers then yes. I can get behind that and the strippers too ;-D Actually I am currently having a bunch of sex with a stripper. Dollars spent "$0"

breaktheice7 · 2026-06-15T17:46:33+00:00

Op does have a good point here, I mean being exposed to half naked women or even fully naked women will help those who have really bad anxiety or get really anxious when talking to women or when even thinking about talking to a woman.

Janemba_Corvalis · 2026-06-15T20:33:46+00:00

maybe if you’re a kissless virgin who is absolutely terrified to talk to women

PrinceDestin · 2026-06-16T00:58:32+00:00

Never been to. A strip
Club but I feel like the game comes when you frequent the spot, I believe you can get the dancers if you show up a lot and just talk to them and have some quality conversations, but man I wonder how much you gonna spend doing that

I’ll probably go to the strip clip for the first time get some wings and see if I can just talk to the women there, I also am interested in the mental state of the dancers and what they have to go through anyway

Back2theCouture · 2026-06-15T17:47:23+00:00

I could see this train of thought coming from McLovin.

WaitingForTheFire · 2026-06-15T18:05:33+00:00

Playing “hard to get” is one thing. If you want to make the woman work to convince you to buy a dance, I don’t see an issue with that. But, be ready to pay for a dance at some point. Don’t go to a club with the intention of not spending any money. If you are taking advantage of the woman’s patience, without doing anything for her in return, that makes you a douchebag.

Nine_ · 2026-06-15T19:14:39+00:00

I could see how this could be good for someone with a lot of nerves

yvvie14 · 2026-06-15T18:07:48+00:00

Do you have any empirical evidence or is this just theory? I like the idea of it but does this actually help? If I were you, I would practice on strippers in the evening and then take that energy and replicate it in night game a couple times and see how it affects you.

Becominghim- · 2026-06-15T18:14:42+00:00

This is what we call “rationalising a shit idea” to justify going to the strip club 😂

Connection-Is-Cool · 2026-06-15T18:47:17+00:00

Women outside have their guard up, just as dancers have their guard up. You don’t need the strip club. The goal is always to connect with the real her. A lot of women are turned off the moment they can sniff that you’re “running game.” Women crave a genuine connection.

I have never been to a strip club. I see it as a waste of time and money. But I won’t knock guys who go. It’s a form of entertainment.

The best way to learn is to go out with guys who know what they’re doing. Watch them, learn from them, participate in some group interactions, ask him some questions 1on1, and take notes. The trick is finding a dude who actually knows his shit, not someone who pretends to know his shit.

thereverendpuck · 2026-06-15T19:33:44+00:00

Seems like it’d be the worst since money talks > your “game,”

chi_guy8 · 2026-06-15T20:08:23+00:00

Extremely unpopular opinion.

unmantenido · 2026-06-15T20:09:25+00:00

Anecdotally, yes. A friend of mine in college wanted to help me learn day game and reduce approach anxiety. So I would go to strip clubs with the sole role of engaging in conversation and flirting. If I can get used to talking to a girl pretending to be interested in me and is half naked, approaching a girl on the campus quad during the day to introduce myself because easy.

pattyiscool79 · 2026-06-15T20:40:26+00:00

Generally speaking, this is actually decent advice. I found strip cubs helpful for understanding a woman's POV when she's being approached by men.

Pedro_Moona · 2026-06-15T20:47:15+00:00

For men who have absolute, no abilities. Talk to women, I agree, strip clubs are a great spot for them to get some attention, and just get comfortable with a woman under their arms.

lockandlood · 2026-06-15T22:57:32+00:00

Okay. So how do I practice opening and my non-verbals?

PhoebusQ47 · 2026-06-16T00:55:23+00:00

In addition to everything else people have pointed out, dancers are working, and you’re a piece of shit if you purposely waste their time.

MyUsername0_0 · 2026-06-16T01:53:11+00:00

I disagree. Only if you are at the point where you literally cannot have conversations with women then maybe to get rid of that fear. Strippers come up to you and start talking. Women will almost never do that at bars/nightclubs etc

Vox_Dissidens · 2026-06-16T02:40:32+00:00

The most valuable thing you can learn for game is to fully realise, consciously and subconsciously, that all women are just normal, flawed people. The best way to do that is to learn how to initiate real conversations and pursue genuine connections.

I’m not sure how it could be best to go to a place where women are pedestalized, paid to initiate and incentivised to be as fake as possible. It seems like a great way to develop mindsets and habits that will need to be unlearned to connect with women elsewhere.

JustRuss79 · 2026-06-16T03:03:05+00:00

naked women don't do it for me by themselves, but the best times I've had at a strip club were when I was with a group, who all disappeared to get private dances, and I wasn't interested. Ended up talking to one or two girls for an hour.. they kept leaving so the manager didn't get mad at them, but they kept coming back.

Good time for both of us.

Do not mistake them being interested for yoru game being strong though, they are still working. At the least, you get a pass for not trying to game them too strong... you short circuit them.

But it is a good way to get used to talking to beautiful women with no pressure.

Birago · 2026-06-16T04:19:22+00:00

I have a friend with your same way of thinking of going to the strip club to "practice" talking to women. More like an excuse to see ass and tiddies lol! You can't trust a strippers word because she's trying to get as much money out of you as she can. Yes they are real people outside the club but in the club their personal life and the crafted persona are completely different. Even if she agrees to meet you outside the club it will still feel different from seeing a regular civilian woman & she might charge you just to meet up!

Nothing wrong with having a favorite girl at the club but do not see strip clubs as places to practice anything.

Razaberry · 2026-06-16T08:26:47+00:00

What a fucking waste of dancers’ time

Anadrolus · 2026-06-16T09:03:29+00:00

If this is not sarcasm, you have deep issues about understanding the mechanics of human interactions...

And you need to train on your target, which should be a woman with good values, something 180° opposite of strippers, this is like wishing to find a koala but you train with monkeys.

I've never went to a strip club, because I have respect to myself, and I don't accept being taken for a fool.

Mysterious_Cat_4366 · 2026-06-16T14:30:07+00:00

There is a point there to be had. I wouldn't do it quite like OP suggested, because I believe those kind of women have already seen all sorts of men, and staying in a conversation with a desperate chump can be a viable strategy to get more from him overall than in a single night. But it's similar.

As someone correctly pointed out here, in strip clubs women are paid to like you and the more they "like you" the more they get.

If you have money, enjoy yourself, but if I should give my two cents, the winning strategy is to convince stripper to do something that is above her job description, like hang out with you after work. They are human after all, and if you can seduce a woman who is a seasoned professional in getting hit on and blowing guys off, you can be certain you have game.

But mind you, there is a risk of developing way different skillset that is required for a good woman.

Dildo_Baggins__ · 2026-06-16T15:52:57+00:00

Sure, if you want to fuck up your views on women. Spending too much time there can make you desensitized and objectifying them

OdinSteel · 2026-06-16T16:58:02+00:00

Pussy.

squidguy_mc · 2026-06-16T21:40:42+00:00

alright im goint to leave this sub...

Imscubbabish · 2026-06-17T01:09:07+00:00

No this is wrong. Strip clubs a are made for people who have no experience with females. You cannot spend time at a strip club and somehow be good at game. The best experience is just everyday experience. This post should be flagged as bad advice

nordik1 · 2026-06-17T14:41:51+00:00

Sounds like a good way to get kicked out of the place if you’re just always hanging out yapping and not paying for anything

Reno0vacio · 2026-06-16T05:57:00+00:00

Down voted. Frist when i read the title.. i realized that if people have two braincells and was out there in the real word, and know that what is in a strip club knows that the title is a bulshit.

eldenchain · 2026-06-16T06:26:10+00:00

Whatever you want to tell yourself lol

OdinSteel · 2026-06-16T16:59:44+00:00

Talk to a woman as if she is a human like you. If you immediately act like all you want is to fuck her you have No Chance.
