Hook

[QUOTE=DaddyRulz;445584]First time I went it was at midnight, there were 5 guys, I forget the day. The second time was at 0230 on a Thursday and including us there were 3.

There was a guy here looking for a date a week ago and I called one of the chicks I know from there to see if she wanted to see him before work. She asked "where is he from" I told her, she said 2,000. I know they are hurting for money and Argie economics is kicking in, making less money because there are less customers? Double the price. The last time I was there when the chicks came up and started talking to us I told them we both lived here, 2500. That was two weeks ago, maybe it's gotten better.

It's both sad and crazy.[/QUOTE]At 0230 on a Thursday Hook should be packed. A month ago that was the case. I don't understand why no one is going to Hook? It's practically the only boliche open now. It can't be because the girls have raised their prices by 500 pesos. I mean 1,500 pesos was the price last month. They should have lowered their prices but 500 pesos more or 100 pesos more for a drink shouldn't explain why the place is so empty.

Any idea?

PS.

Hook is my favorite boliche and now that it is open again it would be a shame if it was to close again, this time due to lack of business.

There are still rich guys, and I think this last week was good (I can gauge how things are there by the willingness of my friend to come to my place before work and this week she thought getting a nap was more important).

I also think that they have developed a reputation for not only charging a lot, but giving generally shitty service and more guys that were going there are now using the internet).

I guess they do not want to be there if there is another closure. Reputations need to be protected. Below are some quotes.

"Ojo que cae la guardia de infanteria de nuevo en cualquier momento y se los pueden llevar puestos! Razonen cuanto puede durar estando los canas enfrente con las fajas de clausura de Ness? Y todo el microcentro clausurado. Piensen con la cabeza de arriba, es preferible y no por mucho tiempo ir a coco o pampita. Consejo de boga, saludos.".

"es verdad que puede ser inseguro ir, pero esto demuestra que de a poco la cosa puede volver".

Dropped in last night from about 12:30 to 1:30. No change to speak of from my visit two weeks ago. Maybe a max of 10-12 mongers with half of those Chinese. Poor quality chicas save for one or two. Very little energy in the place. The lights on the stage have been turned down to nothing and the girls are essentially dancing in the dark. I didn't do any pricing.

Two data points from a guy sitting in Los Angeles.

I got an e-mail from the one I know well at Hook saying money was short and that she never goes out with clients any more. This a girl whose monthly nut is approximately 10k pesos and was probably bringing in 15k to 20k pesos a month when I last saw her in November. She was saving the rest. How many of you guys save 20 to 33% of your gross? She was savvy enough to always convert her savings to dollars. Inflation has probably distorted those 2014 numbers.

Then there was a post on the local board that the Argie favorite Cindy (now called Diana) was back in the club and she went with a guy for 1500 P the other night.

Gentleman, the market could be moving back in our favor although I know you local guys still cringe at 1500 P. I think 2000 P all in is reasonable for a night on the town for us occasional visitor types.

Of course we all have the money and want to have a good time, and it's a special time on our visit. I averaged fully half that with all the girls I was with last time. I do speak the lingo so I'm sure that helps. In all fairness they were not from Hook or other clubs, but still top notch talent. Just another opinion......

And looks are not my major criterion because I gravitate towards the massage girls who tend to be a little older.

But this is a diverse group and some guys like the nightclub experience. JamesBond69 spent 80% of his time at Hook last spring and produced some great reports. As Daddy Rulz reminds us nightclubs were a lot cheaper 2001 to 2010. But since 2010 or so I would say that you were going to spend the peso equivalent of $150 to $300 going to clubs like Madahos, Hippo and Hook. Some of those Madados and Hippo girls were off the charts. The Hook girls are good looking but they tend to be the the petite-type rather than the tall model types. Not as leggy and I happen to be a leg man. At 2500 P plus 500 P in drinks, you are in for $200 just to take a Hook girl out. That's before taxi and other costs that tend to pop up. So let's hope prices come down so there is a vibrant night life again.

Many host which makes them even cheaper. True, its not the same as spending a night in the club...... But for myself, Id rather spend $600 on the girls and the rest on myself doing something else! :-).

I'm tired of saying it.

Even if guys choose not to participate, there is a vibrant market for the club girls at 1200 to 1500 pesos. Girls were being taken out and making a good living. Some were even able to save some money. The 2500 P asking price seems to have dried up the market even with fewer clubs open. Also the clientele has a latent fear of being there if the authorities choose to close the club one night.

I drive an Audi. I probably could gather enough scratch to buy an Aston Martin but I would probably have to give up too many other things I like to do so. It does not mean that there is no market for Aston Martins.

Probably not a perfect example, because you would expect great performance out an Aston Martin and with club girls sometimes performance does not agree with the package.

Maybe the club scene is more akin to the Jaguar. Great car in the seventies and eighties, when I could not afford one. But performance did not meet package in the nineties if I have my dates straight. Sometime along the line, the quality of the Jaguar fell off and they were acquired first by Ford and now Tata.

Sorry Jackson, here we are arguing chica pricing in an inappropriate thread again. My original intent was to give intelligence from what I read was going on in the club. I actually thought it might be useful.

On the coupe everything leaked and a leak is $500. But it was fun to drive.

1 would not start and the other 1 would not stop but they sure looked great sitting in the drive way .

Shot up from about 10k for a turd to 100k for a decent example .

I avoided the 12 cyl. Problem child .

I once read a bumper sticker that said " The Parts That Are Falling Off of This Car Are of The Finest British Quality.".

Lucas - The Prince of Darkness .

The best one I had belonged to the manager of The Men's Club where Anna Nichole Smith use to dance and fill her nose with my old live in GF !

Those where the days !

Show us a presentable English speaking white hooker for $300.00 pesos in Capital and I will kiss your ass at the Obelisco on a Saturday night .

Thanks !

About time some life was pumped into this place .

I'm getting 10 whatsapp a days looking for girls and venues along with 10 messages a day from girls looking for clients and venues .

Why don't we just throw a "Special" party.

Fuck the high priced drinks and covers .

Just a thought .

TL.

"Lucas - The Prince of Darkness".

LOL !!

For the young'uns who may not recall the not so golden age of British sports cars, here is a quote from Wikipedia:

"Joseph Lucas, the founder of Lucas Industries was humorously known as the Prince of Darkness in North America, because of the electrical problems common in Lucas-equipped cars, especially British Leyland products.".
