There are a great many lonely people and it's never more evident than during the Holidays. So many people with no families, no where to go to stave off the loneliness during the season when focus is on family and loved ones. Everywhere you go there are Christmas Carols blaring, lights blinking, shoppers bustling, reminding us that this is a special time of year.
I live in a world that caters to the lonely, to the lost. Don't get me wrong, I know there are countless souls that are not only lonely, they have nothing to eat and no where to live. That's another world entirely. I'm talking about the men and women who have a place to live, food on their tables, a weekly paycheck and no one to share it with.
The men come in looking for that intangible. The fantasy of having beautiful young women vying for their attention. They can escape, even if only for a short time, the emptiness they feel especially this time of year. They come alone hoping that maybe, just maybe, they will find a real woman who can see just how special they are. They are easily swayed by the hustle and they believe this pretty young thing has eyes only for them. As she puts her hand on his leg and looks deeply into his eyes, he believes. His head in the clouds and his blood is pumping with alcohol and anticipation of.....of what? Taking this girl to the nearest hotel? Probably. Love? Possibly. He fools himself into thinking that what is happening is real, as she escorts him to the ATM. He gives her whatever she wants and she'll take it all without batting an eye.

This is the pure beauty of the SC (Strip Club). I know it's all a game but, it's still fun to live in the 'game's world'. Whenever I go to the SC I like to have a lot of money. Not so I can get more dances or not to look like a balla but so the fantasy won't end :) However, I'm not particularly lonely. I just like to have a good time and while you're at the SC it feels like you just stepped into heaven. But, your post about leaving work at work, and the 'souless building' is what it really all is. When everything is said and done, the people leave, the emotions exit and everything is put away, the fantasy is over.
