I realized then that men see these places as escapes, not a way of life. I finally decided to visit a strip joint in order to see what all the fuss was about. I spoke to several men in the establishment about their reasons for being there. They were surprisingly open, sincere, and honest, not to mention extremely flirtatious. Though I am not a man, I quickly got a sense of the main reasons for their attendance.
Men love to see women's bodies.
The more they see, the better. Men usually fantasize about beautiful women, they see beautiful women as the epitome of successful dating. Though most men accept the fact that they don't have a Barbie look-alike as a partner, they can still dream. It is like a live version of the sexual escapades men dream about at night. It isn't cheating, but the thought of engaging one of the women does cross the minds of most men.
