You have educated me, SzczerbiakManiac. Old broads like me forget stuff like this. We get used to the comfy life and we forget.

Thanks for splainin'. It's appreciated.

Link to the opening post didn't work for me but I agree that I can't decide if "Breastaurant" is inspired or moronic, though I'd certainly go to a place that had boobs. I've gone to Hooters in Vegas several times now. I wish the food were better, though.

The nurse's uniforms, though- awesome! The food looks like more than I could handle, but the scenery looks great.

I wouldn't frequent a place with hunky male waiters, though. Sorry, guys. I guess it could work in the right neighborhood.

Would you patronize a restaurant, such as Hooters, with a buxom, all female waitstaff?

I'm not trying to determine your position on the Kinsey Scale, I'm just curious if you eschew restaurants with food servers whose primary purpose is to be physically attractive.

Not speaking for ABG, but I know I wouldn't give a rip about either. Hooters has never held any kind of attraction for me; not would Wally's Weiners

I'm of the (completely subjective and totally minority) opinion that this whole concept is dumb at best and creepy at worst.

I'd go to a strip club for someone else's benefit (bachelorette party etc, though I've never been asked), but I'd never go to one of my own accord, male or female. Even so, I'd vastly prefer an actual strip club to a supposed restaurant that's really about ogling people.

Blech and Ew.

She would.

My anecdotal experience says that women (straight or bi) are far less interested in nude/scantily clad males than either a) straight men are interested in nude/scantily clad females or b) gay men are interested in nude/scantily clad males.

Many, if not most, straight men would rather die than be thought of as gay. And in their minds, "allowing" a guy to hit on them, be ogled by, or in any way be the object of another man's attentions automatically means they are gay themselves.

Based on my unscientific observation above, I would not be surprised if, at least in California, the clientele for a Weiners Restaurant, ended up being mostly gay male. Or if not mostly, certainly a higher ratio of gay male:straight female than a Hooters' ratio of straight male:gay female.

While it's ridiculous for a straight man to feel threatened by the thought of being found attractive, and even ogled, by a gay male, I don't necessarily find it as ridiculous to not want to be surrounded day in and day out by it. Not that I particularly understand wanting to be surrounded by straight women ogling then day in and day out...oh wait, yes I do.

As I read this thread, it reminds me of how diametrically opposite the community of LoT is from Middle America.

Granted, but what I really meant was would she patronize it regularly. Mea culpa for not being clearer.

I agree with you 100% on both points.

I was thinking the same thing, and vive la difference!

See, it's the pretense that bugs me. The idea that someone would feel guilty for visiting a strip club but not feel guilty for pretending they showed up for the buffalo wings just baffles me.

Besides, if I did want to see big tits, I'd be pissed off that the tits brought me food and then left. Does anyone get drunk at a Hooters and suddenly start screaming "COME BACK AND SHOW ME YOUR FUKING BOOBS! WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GETTING PAID FOR? WHY THE FUK ELSE DID I COME HERE?!" Because that would be me.
