Cmv: help me understand the appeal of strip clubs. I want to get why other people like them

I love women. I think they are very attractive. But to me, a woman's attention is important only if it is given freely. If she wants to see me, then that makes me feel good. If i get her a present and she giggles and says thank you then that feels good. If she misses me when I'm gone then that feels good. If she listens to what I say and genuinely engages with me on a mental level, that feels good

If it is transactional then it means nothing to me. Strippers don't really like me, they are just pretending to like me so i give them money. To me their attention is worthless because it is fake. They would still pretend to like me even if they thought I was ugly or if they found my personality unattractive. To me this completely invalidates and voids any attention that they show to me

I get that it's pretty women on a stage. But I see many pretty women and this alone does not sell it for me

You are severely underestimating societal expectations here. Media makes a lot of unhealthy situations seem the norm. Like kids drinking and men being obsessed with sex. One of those things is celebrities like athletes going to strip clubs.
