Since when does anyone trust lawyers? I guess different people find different things empowering. I don't think posing nude is. In my opinion it is a kinda sleazy, but it makes someone else feel better about themselves it doesn't affect me. Me, if I wanted to feel empowered, I'd go back to studying martial arts. To each his own.

Agreed there. It's all personal taste.
I still say we hear in the news three strippers got strangled. Imagine Balls being charged cause he was there?

That's another thing. Why don't these dudes hire some legit strippers instead of writing an e-mail? And if there are 14 guys who are lawyers and finance guys, you'd think they'd be able to pony up a hundred bucks each and give two girls 700 bucks a piece. Come on!

Because, from what I can recall a legit stripper-on-call will charge a good 300 - 500 just to show up.
Plus methinks that these guys probably think they can get away with more with an "amateur."

One more type:
4) SNOWMEN - guys who've been up for 36 hours and sit there leering, soft as silly putty, drinking straight vodka trying to wake up Willy while their noses run.

....and while using the word sort of improperly, by 'empowered' I mean; . If they are strong enough of character to buck the conventional stereotype of what a strpper or hooker is. If they have the courage to be at their most vulnerable and retain strength, and if they can own what they do with pride and without any shame then they are empowered, IMO.

My attitude toward strip clubs is that you're paying to get teased. That's why I rarely go. Bachelor parties are the only time these days I would be at a strip club, but that said, I don't turn my nose up at anyone who goes.
Fortunately I have a LOT of weddings this year!!!! WOOOHOOO!!!!

I've never been to a strip club, and have no desire to do so. I'm glad that none of my close friends would consider having their bachelor party at such a venue, either.
To answer the topic question:
Odd: yes Distracting: no Sexist: no

Say it ain't so Domi? I could have sworn I had you pegged right as a BRO: From Urban Dictionary Dot Com: bro 953 up, 368 down a usually white young male, found commonly in places like san bernardino county in california, as well as orange county. always, without exception, drive big lifted trucks, often white. has the name of their crew or whatever in big white letters on their back window (ie, "skin", "metal mulisha". wear: trucker hats off center, plug earrings, sunglasses, wife beater shirt or no shirt, sagging dickies shorts, high black socks, skater shoes or those black corduroy slipper things, have a lot of tatoos of things like stars.

The fact that this posting was forwarded to a women's networking group, I found decidedly odd. This message came in a digest with messages about wine tastings, book discussion brunches, job postings, charity clothing drives, old bridesmaid dresses for sale and community theatre auditions in Queens...
Advertising the "profession" of the men was not odd. These dicks are very impressed with their own importance and very impressed with their own paychecks. They think money is the be-all, end-all; that they will impress everyone they encounter... and that being "educated professionals" somehow ascribes to them a certain respectability and prestige, and yet allows them to get away with sleezy behavior. I'm guessing that they are young and not ACTUALLY making the real cash, yet, or they'd be having their draft at Scores and bragging about how much they paid for the private room.
-Odd...yes. -Distracting...YES! If you have ever seen certain people on the clock at a live draft & their utter inability to make a pick, GODDAMN, the asshole cup would be full if there was an additional distraction of titties in the room during the draft... -Sexist...Well, YES. This is obviously a "good old boys" league, no women even considered as equal participants, only as "ornaments."
Basically, I agree with just about everything that Marco posted... much of what I was thinking when I started the thread...
And Domi, you gotta get out more. There is something very special about the bachelor party ritual, and I expect you to be in attendance for an upcoming journey to one of these fine establishments. Before my best friend gets married, if his best man doesn't plan the tittie bar outing, I will.
Honestly, I don't really have a problem with strip joints. There are shady, mobbed up, drug infested dens of trailer trash... and there are elegant, high end, red carpet velvet rope clubs. The latter can actually be done with class, especially when people do not have the American Puritanical sexually repressed outlook... the former can be fun for a novelty...

That's not odd. They are looking for women so why not forward to a women's networking group. Makes perfect sense.
That is really not sexist at all. There is nothing wrong with having a men's league. The women being 'ornaments" are willingly doing so and getting paid for it. Plus, they can participate. It says right in there that they can wear hats and give advice. Really not that big of a deal.
Although I will agree that maybe the idea is a bit "odd" it is still not all that sexist. If you want to view it as "offensive" that it was forwarded to you that is one thing, but having a league with no women in it is not sexist at all.

LOL...sexist. It'd be sexist if they said women can't be in it cause they don't know dick about baseball. That would be sexist, not the urge to look at pretty girls, that'd be nature at work. This is opening up a whole other can of worms. Ornaments....that's nice. Is it different than eye candy? Again, some girls get off, sort-to-speak, on stuff like that. They like being eye raped and having guys be nice to them. It's what women like to have a lot of....ATTENTION. Sort of like the need to fucking start this thread even though you have your own opinions on it already. Fucking crazy talk.

Definitely NOT sexist. James hit it on the head. Nothing sexist about wanting to look at hot women. It's natural. And they do allow these women to chime in for advice.

I think the whole email is strange. Sounds like a bunch of guys hoping to get this night on the cheap...like Chris said, hoping that they'd get away with more with amateurs.
If this is at a private residence and there's a woman out there considering doing this....she needs to have her head examined.
Someone mentioned 14 guys should be able to come up with 700 bucks for the night and I completely agree.
Mentioning thier jobs was completely strange and obviously meant to impress.
It'd drive me nuts waiting for some jerkoff to make his picks while he's oogling some broad.

Different tastes for different folks. Anyone remember Larry, in the bleachers one lazy afternoon, asking if anyone knew where he could find some midgets for hire to serve at a party he was having? He was like, "they can serve food and drinks, hump legs, we can take them in the back, tie them to a tree, and shoot them with a hose..." - somethin' like that.

That was easily one of the funniest things I ever heard in all my time out in the bleachers. It was just one of those ideas that kept going and going the entire game. Jw

And why wouldn't it? It was brilliant. Maybe we should hire midgets to umpire the bleacher softball game.

You'd have to put a catcher guard on the midget's chest cause if he takes one off the body he's done.
And how could a midget keep track of the count with those hands?

What you would need is two midgets. One stands on the shoulders of the other. With practice, they could be almost normal. In the winter they could wear a trenchcoat and no one would notice anything abnormal.

I went to a Halloweeen Party on 23rd Street, years ago, in this huge, obviously illegal loft-like apartment & they had midgets working as bartenders and waiters... apparently this is a big thing, as I recognized a few of those midgets working at Webster Hall a few years later... I heard that the 23rd St place also has a cinquo de mayo party & the midgets circulate the room, wearing sombreros containing chips & salsa...
