I think your definition of "a little creepy" and mine are slightly different.

I think we're all just secretly jealous we don't have a little robot to cuddle with at night.

For those of us who do not have that kind of budget, there is always using something made of vinyl. :evil:

Care to explain how to apply bleach to ones imagination ?
Is it cold in here?:
It's called brain-washing.

--- Quote from: Odin on 28 Jan 2011, 20:49 --- Much like the one that makes negative judgments about women that are strippers or even the very existence of strip clubs that cater to straight men while completely ignoring the very common strip clubs that cater to straight women, gay women and gay men. The actual numbers don't matter in the least once you put them in context of local population demographics (you'll find that there are exactly as many strip clubs catering to a specific group of people as the local population will support, expecting exact even numbers of male and female strippers is stupid and I don't know why I wasted time trying to argue that point).

Except that the argument (at least originally) wasn't really about the strippers; it was about the people going to see the strippers. In other words, the negative comments were (mostly) not directed at the strippers at all, but at the people that would attend such events. You then brought up the proportionality of strippers and we digressed from there.

--- Quote from: Odin on 28 Jan 2011, 20:49 ---You're missing the point by focusing on the numbers or even the accusation, the topic over there was that The South's racism was (and is) perfectly okay because Sherman did nasty things to win the war, a thoroughly idiotic position to take.
--- End quote ---
The only information you provided was the number, the accusation, and a statement that the accusation was false. It is not surprising I missed a point that you did not make, at least in this forum. :-)

Numbers always matter, especially in the context of local demographics. I would not expect equal numbers of male and female strippers. That was the point I made in my original post on this topic. I would expect a higher proportion of women, and a lower proportion of men, in the stripper population than in the population generally. If that is so, the explanation presumably would be, as you say, the support from the local population. Or to put it another way, in the relative demand for female or male performers in the market to which their industry caters.

In fairness to Odin, it was I who brought up the proportion thing, in reference to my guess that, notwithstanding the existence of male strippers, the stripping "industry" primarily caters to men. That doesn't necessarily make it bad, but unless the club Steve was proposing has a "ladies department" running concurrently, it is possible that Cosette might feel a bit left out while Steve and Marten had a bro's night.

Pintsize is probably warm from the heat of all his electronics.

He needs a Bamboo wife. Or a Dakimakura.
