Aspects of Ratings: There are three aspects of each gentleman's
club that is considered to when trying achieve an overall score. Primarily,
we are looking at the quality of the environment, entertainment, and cost.

Entertainment Quality |
(presentation, appearance, variety, personal): |
Economic Cost |
(cover, 2 drinks, 2 dances): |
Rating Format: In general, the gentleman's clubs are compared
against each other. Each club is compared against each other for each of
the aspects itemized above. Each rating has an icon for abbreviation.

An example, a rating of (A A D) would be reflect an above
average environment and entertainment quality at (an expectantly) high
cost.
Operating Definition of Metrics: Because of the high variation
in environment, entertainment, and prices, the ratings tend to be a bit
qualitative by their nature. For example, a Bikini club may have a very
high energy atmosphere and Lap Dances to kill for. To aid the reader, a
brief description of the things we look for each and how it contributes
to a final rating. Also be aware that there may be some contridictions
due to the nature of the clubs.
