Any of you guys ever think of doing this? Or ever been a part of one?
I think it'd be an awesome idea in a great international location. Especially if the fees were high enough to keep a private bar open where members could relax away from the bullshit or even to take their chicks late night while they kicked it with the boys. My thoughts were if you were in Asia somewhere you could keep a full-time bartender working and charge everyone per drink (so people cover their share if they drink more) but nothing more than cost for the liquor. Bartender's salary and overhead would come out of the member fees.
Same for a cook to keep the grub rolling, etc. If outsiders were ever allowed in, they'd pay full price for a cocktail.
Another great extension on the idea would be to pool money together and rent a mansion, like the poker players over there do. Of course, with that scenario, not all members could stay at the place - at least not year round.
It would be cool to stay in close contact with like-minded men, etc, and actually have a real place to chill rather than just trading ideas on a forum. The big issue I could see was the resulting politics and drama - some of the drama that occurs on the forum stands as a good example of the bullshit that could arise.
Just tossing some ideas out there. I've been rolling the concept around in my brain lately as a way to make an international location especially comfortable and sustainable for the long run. With the right group of guys, you could even leverage your resources, build local contacts, and start making some real moves in the community.
Its an interesting topic. I'm thinking about it in terms of "manosphere" and "business tribes" and ex pat communities.
A gentleman's club could be part of a wider thing.
Perhaps the rest of it could include serviced offices. Also a system of offering short term apartment space, or even shared apartments. Ontop of that, there could be a "buying group" aspect eg cheaper good and services for ex pat tourists, ex pat businesses etc. And then wider social events for ex pats, helping them mix with the wider expat AND local communities.
There's no reason why local citizens could not benefit from a club/organisation too.
Many people love they idea of leaving their own country and exploring a new one for pussy, lifestyle and lots of other reasons. Signing up to a 6 or 12 month lease going into a place pretty blind doesn't appeal to many. So why not have a system where red pillers are eased into a whole, exciting new world?
Think of these ex pat groups in 10, 20 or more cities and there could be some serious leverage to develop. Even things like charter flights might be doable, after its all grown a bit.
Some of it could have a co-operative format (eg the buying group and stuff) via many members. Some of it could financed more by a small number of investors.
I'd be interested in exploring this further.
