But it is certainly regrettable like any other career.

Ok. So we’ve confirmed that it’s a career. I think taking on the concept of whether or not porn should be stored in a permanent medium is outside the scope of this conversation. It’s currently a valid career for men and women, and (assuming it’s all produced above board), there are plenty of systems in place to protect the people involved.

Hooters operates in a grey area. They obviously drive customers to their locations with sex appeal (though I actually like their wings personally), but there’s a fuzzy line around what is and is not okay in that scenario. Their own employee agreement has this to say:

• My job duties require I wear the designated Hooters Girl uniform.
• My job duties require that I interact with and entertain the customers.
• The Hooters concept is based on female sex appeal and the work environment is one in which joking and entertaining conversations are commonplace.

Even the company won’t delineate what “joking” means. If a patron makes a “joke” that makes a server super uncomfortable what are her options? Confront the customer and lose her tip? Quit her job? That’s a lot of financial strain just to feel comfortable at your job. I don’t think Hooters as an establishment should be shut down, but I think bragging about ogling the women should be a little frowned upon.

The language in the post indicates that he’s clearly ashamed of what he’s doing. He’s misleading his wife and speaks in euphemism. So whatever he actually does there, he at least thinks other people will think it’s creepy.

I think leaving a review like this just demonstrates a lack of problem solving skills or some sexual repression which is kind of sad. There are other, better ways to get your rocks off than Hooters if that’s really all you’re there for.

They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.

A customer of hooters can’t force the server to continue to be sexualized

Ask a victim of sexual assault how they feel about that statement.

And the point is if your goal of going to hooters is to bend the rules as far as you can, just get your fix some other way.

Edit: also, it’s a little belittling to assume that working in porn is a regrettable career.

The power dynamic between the porn actress and customer is different than between restaurant server and patron. The porn is filmed in a controlled environment, and even the live streams can be quit at any time. At a restaurant, the women are operating in a live environment, and their income is dependent on the patrons’ whims. The rules are fuzzy and you don’t know if your patron is going to understand the difference between friendly flirting and sexual attraction.

I got dragged to a strip club for a friend’s birthday. They were especially gross at the time in WA because you couldn’t drink at them. We were already drunk enough though.

Anyway, got a lap dance for $20. The first 30 seconds were the stripper explaining to me what I’m allowed to do. I.e. apparently you can rub your face on her boobs, but hands stay put. I’m sure if I broke that rule, a bouncer would beat the shit out of me. To maintain the “family friendly atmosphere,” restaurants like Hooters operate more on nuance that some patrons (like the person this post is about) may not understand.

The narrator in Indika. Or really anybody in Indika. Especially considering the English actors aren’t even the original actors.

I always figured that the game was being a creep because it’s the easiest way to get a woman to interact with your or at least acknowledge your existence. Porn has solutions for that too.

Or maybe they do indeed just want to make women uncomfortable. Harder to do that with porn since porn actors tend to not be great non-porn actors.

You like tapes and CDs?

How 'bout I tape my dick to your head so you can CDs nuts!?

Porn is cheap. Don’t be a creep.

My high school bully graduated second in our class and clearly thought he was destined to great things. Ran into him four years later, he was attending grad school a few states over. Confirmed he was still an asshole.

Looked him up a decade later. He’s a grade school teacher. Teaching is an incredibly noble pursuit and a miserably thankless job. I hope he’s enjoying it.

I’m told broken glass tastes like blood.

I got enough keys on my keyboard

Stop trying to make þorn happen.

Huh? They make computers. What are you talking about?

Yeah, your ass is getting subducted.

You’re gonna drop three new Ls for ladies, and have two of them be men’s names?
