my dad took me when I was a little kid, probably part of a heterosexualizing intervention that I'd grow up straight for once. I had a hotdog.
Strip clubs serve food. Can you imagine the kind of beta you'd have to be to eat at a hooters if you could go to a strip club?
yes
imagine an ageing czech father speaking in broken english to me about how i need to man up and how i need to like 'the boobs' and find a nice woman (gesticulating towards the room) while drunk ( a czech tradition)
turns out i did find a nice woman, she is me :it-was-me:
i have been to a strip club with my bf, they had import czech beers so thats why we went lmao
You said Czech but in my head for some reason your dad sounded like an Italian:
"Ehh, you gotta like-a da boobs"
he does this thing where he wants to act like hes trying to speak english better by speaking all in english but kinda half asses it and throws czech words in. hes been doing this for decades now so i dont know why he thinks it helps
My absent father took me when I was like 14-15 as a way to try and reconnect with me and try to mold me into some kind of stereotypical masculine dudebro.
He used to go with a group of buddies every Tuesday or something and order pitchers of beer and oysters. He'd make me drink his bud light which I never finished because the shit was gross and he'd always call me a pussy because I didn't like oysters and he'd say shit like "how do you ever expect to eat pussy if you can't eat oysters?"
He'd then flirt with the waitresses and have them sit on my lap and grind on me and shit. Thinking back, maybe that's why I'm asexual now.
But yeah, food is trash, atmosphere is awkward.
“how do you ever expect to eat pussy if you can’t eat oysters?”
I... but... that's not how things work at all...
I thought the idea with Oysters was that they mostly tasted like cum, so if your spouse could swallow oysters, you were supposed to understand the hint that you want them to swallow. Never heard that oysters taste like pussy.
Can you imagine the kind of beta you’d have to be to eat at a hooters if you could go to a strip club?
That reminds me of how there's all these sort of "not-porn" porn things where it's explicitly salacious and creepy but stops short of actually being porn, and how fucking creepy that is. Like how there's a whole trope of suburban dads getting women's underwear catalogs to whack it to, there's even a Kelly comic lambasting that and the entitlement they feel about needing the models to be attractive to them.
Like hooters it all just seems so much creepier to me. It feels like their target audience is men who so oversexualize women that just being reminded that women exist and have bodies gets them going. Like the modern equivalent of the 19th century men who thought women wearing pants was "scandalous" because it reminded them than women have legs. It's so disturbing to me that there are so many men on that kind of a hair trigger.
But then I also primarily socialize in queer spaces where explicit openness about lewd things is normalized to the point that I "ironically" respond with :volcel-judge::volcel-police: memes, so this may also just be me associating the hyper-vanilla not-porn stuff with cishet brainworms and chauvinism.
I don't know about that explicit stuff can be too much stimulus too fast to take in sometimes the suggestion can be more interesting than being blatent. Like how flirting is more interesting than a nude
I don't know, examining it from another angle: in kink spaces one of the most important standards is not pushing your kink on others or showing it off without the consent of everyone involved, including spectators, and overwhelmingly the people who frequently violate that are people whose thing is something that's less overtly sexual, like feet guys or age players. And I can't help but lump the sort of intensely oversexed heterosexuality in with that sort of thing, like their kink is just women having bodies so some guys feel like it's ok to have content catering to that kink everywhere and flaunt how much they're getting off to a woman over her existing and it's just ugh.
It's hard to untangle and articulate what about it is so offputting to me because it's so many intersecting things and it's tangled up in stuff like seeing 4chan weirdos censoring the clothes out of pictures of fully clothed women, leaving just circles showing off faces and bits of arm or the like to imply nudity, and how omnipresent this tepid cishet sexualized content is, and how normal it is for pop culture jokes to just be "haha, normal male sexuality is whacking it to the FB photos of every single woman they know isn't that safe and quirky and normal" and I hate every bit of it. But I mean I also don't trust more overtly sex-obsessed cishet men either, like a guy who goes to stripclubs is just as bad as one who goes to hooters, but the concept is at least less weird and repressed even though I hate it too.
Maybe it's more that I just hate cisheteronormative patriarchal sexualization and everything that goes along with it, and find the most socially acceptable forms of that more grating just because of how omnipresent they are while still being extremely creepy and predatory.
Hooters is a relic of the 80s/90s I can't believe still exists. It's like a concept that was created for a Married with Children episode.
The simplest reasons why someone would go to a Hooters over a strip club is that they are cheap or can't afford stripper prices. It's also the Christian right acceptable PG 13 version of a strip club. You can objectify women without all the sinful nudity.
I mean it's the objectification of women that's sinful if you want to get into theology so they messed up there
The target audience does not know theology. They likely don’t even know there are mandatory college courses for clergymen.
yeah i just want to point out that they are in fact wrong about the justification they're using so as to not passively ceed that ground to them
No I never went to one.
My grade 12 class wanted to go at the end of the school year when we were all 18 for some reason. Seemed like they were trying to set up/own the school with negative PR. Still weird
Hooters is for pervert boomers who don't have access to internet porn.
I think it was some plan to try get back at the school. They felt the school screwed them over or something with some suspensions. Imagine some newspaper article coming out about a bunch of high schoolers going to hooters in school uniform. Even if everyone is over 18 it still would put the school in a bad position in socially conservative South Africa.
It wasn't a case of no access to internet porn, I unfortunately saw all the Mxit and BBM statuses/notifications showing exactly what they were doing on their phones lol. (Pre smartphone era social media default privacy settings sucked). Though the boarding part of the school did have weird rules around being caught masturbating, so maybe some repression?
It reminds me of my senior year here in high school in the USA, a bunch of seniors went to strip clubs when they turned 18. Way to "stick it to the man" endorsing sex trafficking, as I have no doubt the strip clubs in my local area work in trafficked women.
I went when I was like 13 or 14, one of my mom's coworkers was having a birthday or something and we just kinda showed up for the minimum amount of time. I had the wings, I wasnt impressed - the waitress was nice though I guess. I've never understood the appeal of Hooters or strip clubs or other places where you're meant to be horny in public, although maybe that's a result of growing up with the Internet and having much stronger stuff on tap.
edit: okay thinking about this has dredged up an image from my memories. Imagine a forty year old man surrounded by the Hooters wait staff, doing a shot and going WOOOO while everyone kind watches him awkwardly. That's my lasting impression of Hooters and the kind of person who would choose to have a party there.
yeah I'm much more comfortable with everyone vaguely repressing their sexuality in public. I know people are to the toilet as well and that's perfectly normal and fine but I don't want them to share the details with me
goddammit you know what the french do to heterosexualize their kids? they hire prostitutes. oh hon hon le son has turrned 12 time to hire misse cisseh.
fwiw otoh tbf hooters gave us femboy hooters so its ok.
I deliberately internalize incorrect facts about France purely out of hatred for the French
I'd probably order a chicken sandwich and play nethack on my phone.
If you haven't already, you might like to try Shattered Pixel Dungeon. It's open source and has the best QoL features of any mobile roguelike I've played
Hell yea Shattered Pixel Dungeon rocks, even if i suck ass at it
Play rogue because invis is busted. Once you get a decent weapon it's pretty much free from there
I've definitely had the most success with the rogue, but it seems like as soon as i get to the beholder levels I just hit a wall
eventually resource income lowers and it may be best to avoid combat if your burn rate is too high to get to the boss with a good cushion. Starvation, health, consumables all the same ultimately. Have won with all subclasses or whatever (though haven't played in a year or two).
My dad took me to one as a kid, I think to figure out if I was gay. I am indeed extremely gay, but he left deeply proud in me for being much more of a feminist than anticipated, and not one to trifle with inferior chicken wings.
It used to be the place closest to my apartment that would have the ufc ppvs so plenty. It’s honestly just like a buffalo wild wings but if they were honest about their hiring practices. Pretty shitty food, pretty shitty service, but hey the beers always cold

what the actual fuck
"at least it’s comprised of 18+ year olds rather than high school kids."
Bad news, I looked up if they're listed as "family friendly" and there's pictures of
- Kids posing in a group of waitresses at Hooters.
- Hooters waitresses holding a baby.
- Waitresses in sexually humorous poses with kids, like being in mid-slap to a kid's butt and squeezing a boy's chest like he has boobs while doing a "this is so hot" face.
Hooters owners are so exploitative, waitresses are forced to sexualize children.
Doordashing from Hooters is a good bit, even unintentionally lmao
Hooters uses tits you can't really see to advertise food you can't really eat. The shits a scam.
