You win the award for longest sentence this week. Congrats
I kind of like strip clubs, but Dublin isn't great alright. Abroad you get a better selection varying from upscale to seedy. As long as you don't expect to get laid or find your next girlfriend they're grand. A few beers (overpriced, granted) a good variety of fit ladies in skimpy outfits dancing and flirting. Get teased and turned on and have a laugh with a few mates and some dancers. Why not.
You just have to enjoy it for what it is, and not be comparing in your own mind, well for two dances I'd get x, y, or z off an escort.
It beats sitting in a dead bar debating for the thousandth time if Rooney is washed up or can still do a job, and turning your heads in unison every time the door opens, in the hope that it might be some good looking females
