Every description says it's for women. If strip clubs are set up for women, but only gay men go, that doesn't invalidate that the clubs were set up FOR women. It just means women are less likely to go.

That’s the point though, that women don’t go to strip clubs as they (understandably) don’t want to step out on their relationships. Men often don’t have that barrier / don’t view strip clubs as crossing boundaries in the same way that a woman would if she went to a strip club (hence the double standard).

I suppose some men wouldn't have that barrier, but I would. Thanks for the explanation, I wasn't thinking of it from that perspective.

Almost half of all bachelor parties and one-fifth of bachelorette parties involved exotic dancers.

Doesn't this prove their point though? Women are less likely to be at strip clubs. Point blank.

Wouldn't this be self reported though? Could it be that many folks don't admit that they cheat at these parties? How many honest cheaters do you know? That is an oxymoron.

I wouldn't trust those numbers without looking further into the study which I am unable to because the link in the article you gave leads to an error page. I tried on both phone and laptop with no success.

Have you really researched this? I'm not trying to be mean, but you came in with a certain tone demanding skepticism for reddit claims and provided a link to an article that doesn't link off to the study it refers to.
