Reply #32: I think it has something to do with the idea..........

............that some patrons of gay strip clubs are there for a "serious strip show" and bachelorette party attendees are there to act loud and foolish and not make the "show" the focus of their attention. I can count on one hand (well, maybe two) the times I've been to a strip club but I can tell you some people take their strippers seriously. I had occasion to be at a club fairly early once and I was surprised at the "fans" that show up early to stake out good seats etc. - not there to drink but to sip water and watch "the show." I never got in to the "shows" so my friends and I would "stop in" when we felt like being "seedy."

I don't agree with it but I think that's where the "attitude" comes from. I guess some "fan" doesn't want someone next to them acting silly while wearing a "penis hat." (I actually saw one of those on a bachelorette party attendee at a non-strip gay club).
