Yeah, I’m an absolute pervert but hooters feels icky to me. Like, I’ll gladly mix sluttiness, alcohol, and food. I’d love it if I could get some appetizers at a leather bar. And while strip clubs aren’t to my taste, I respect them as honest sex work at least on the part of the strippers and patrons. But hooters is this thin facade. It’s a place I associate with people telling themselves they aren’t going to a strip club. Whether it’s to introduce their son to manhood or to have a night out with the boys. It’s not a strip club, but very specifically so.
There was a place near me called Smut N Eggs. Was a bar that catered to graveyard shift, we’d swing there after work at 6 in the morning to kickstart our “evening”. Inside where you would expect to see sports games on the TVs around the bar, they had vintage porn playing. The walls were covered with centerfolds.
The waitress, Michelle or Chele for short, was about 50 years old, had a smokers rasp and the look of someone who’d spent most of her younger years riding on a motorcyle, and suffered absolutely no bullshit. The food was amazing, the vast majority of people weren’t even looking at the screens, they were just digging into their dinner or breakfast at 6 in the morning with a beer or three on the side.
Place burned down years ago…damned shame.
I’m rather upset your comment was so short because I was completely enthralled in your story.
Wait until he hears about twin peaks.
damn good coffee, and hot
Or tilted kilt
The tits being visibly there but clothed just adds to the titillation. Makes sense to me. And it’s less sketchy than a strip club.
You said tit…illation.
How do you titillate an ocelot?
Late, but a lot.
Oscillate its tit a lot
Isn’t that the point of the original post though? Why is titillation needed during dinner?
The point of the post was that it’s weird to find Hooters titillating at all. Let’s not act like titillation itself is a bad thing or needs to be segregated from other parts of your life. Titillation during dinner is a great mix!
So far, yours is the only comment that really addresses this correctly. I never liked Hooters, but it makes sense. It’s not some enigma or malformed idea.
Needed? I don’t think anyone said it was needed. People just enjoy tits
It may just be a bonus in almost every circumstance.
What’s weird is that over the last few years they’ve been trying to say it’s a family restaurant. They’ve gone for years as the place a bunch of Bros can go ogle some boons, but now they’re trying to pivot. Not gonna happen, just lean into it if you want to make it.
Maybe if the private equity didn’t want to be in that business they shouldn’t have bought hooters.
*and gay girlies!
ogle some boobs

In my area, they opened a “Hoots Wings,” which was apparently some sort of quick-serve takeout version with, presumably, no employees-as-sex-objects at all.
I say “was apparently,” by the way, because I never felt tempted to go there myself, and it’s already out of business.
Still, I guess I gotta give them credit for being true believers in their wings standing on their own merit, and also correctly figuring out that my (very progressive) part of town probably wouldn’t be the target demographic for their traditional model.

Every job I’ve ever held seems to have the same recurring character: a middle-aged+ balding obese man who regularly makes creepy/sexist/racist comments, and when told off, dramatically throws their arms up and laments about not being able to make jokes anymore.
Anyway, one of the talking points this character routinely brings up is that they’ll go to Hooters, but actually just for the Wings - they’re really that good!
…no, David, no one’s buying your bullshit. You go there because you like tits, and apparently not the ones hanging off the poor woman you’ve Stockholm syndromed into becoming and remaining your wife.
But apparently the whole “I go there for the wings!” lie is so common that even Hooters execs started to believe it.
…and seriously, why is David following me?? New job, there’s fucking David, sometimes with a mustache, sometimes with glasses, or a funny hat or something… but he’s always there.

It’s like when Playboy stopped printing nude photographs because “people read it for the articles”, then reversed that decision within a year. The brand just needs to own its demographic, which yeah for some things is just creepy, middle-aged dudes who need a veneer of non-sexuality to keep up appearances.
Or when onlyfans wanted to have us pay for ‘engaging family friendly content’ 🤭. Sure the original idea was for regular movie celebs to monetize their fans. But at this point none of those will ever want to be found on onlyfans. Except Sasha Grey maybe 😅. Onlyfans has become a caricature. You don’t pivot away from that. Just like hooters won’t be for the wings or McDonald’s for the salads even if they happen to be really good.
Did you just insult my favorite twitch streamer Sasha Grey? What are you insinuating, sir and/or madam?
No on the contrary. I was just joking about her former field of acting. I wish it was viewed as more normal. And that she would have make to get a foothold in regular movies 🫶
I didn’t know she did twitch now. I’ve never watched that. I game a lot but I have no patience for watching streams.
Sorry! I should’ve put a “/s” at the end. I was also joking.
Yep. I too would have loved it if she had a proper acting career right now. She’s always been very charming and has had lots of creative outlets. She was one of the first people that taught me not to understimate adult performers
Funny enough my straight mom was a hard-core fan of playboy (I’m fully convinced in her heterosexuality considering her decades as an ally and all of her kids being queer). She was generally straight laced, but loved the counterculture that the articles of playboy contained.
But yeah the business model was always that the tits pay for the ability to publish Fahrenheit 451 and Hunter S. Thompson, not the other way around.
Nothing more honest as long as the exchange is fair.
I was talked into going once on a high school trip in the early 90s and the waitresses at that location were B cups at most, but clearly picked just for looks. It was entertaining that the guy whose idea it was to go was extremely shy and had the hardest time just talking to the waitress. Wings were ok, but not good enough to ever go again.
More recently on an anniversary trip my wife talked us into going to Salt Life as we had been laughing about the ‘slut life’ looking stickers we saw back at home. It was the beach version of Hooters.

100% you were taken there for emotional support
Ya’ll want weirdo creepy shit?
My Dad made a thing of taking me, a 12 year old boy back in the early 00s, to Hooters, for a while, and would encourage me to oogle the servers.
This is… previously, before this, I was raised extremely prudish and right wing nutjob style Christian.
My Dad just snapped, internally, at some point… alcoholism followed this.
… my parents are still married, for some reason, even though they have clearly hated each other for a very long time.
Y’all
Yao + all
Fucking hell, that’s not surprising but fuck it’s weird. Sorry your dad did that to you
I appreciate the well wishes.
Yeah… I… have not had the easiest run at life, but, things have turned around since I ghosted my entire family a few years back.
In fairness there is something about Christians and treating women like shit.
Well, the book explicitly says that women are less than men, so they are just doing what the good book says.
That book says a lot of things, almost always conflicting things and depending on what remake you read it has an entirely different spin.
Anyone who says they understand the bible and doesn’t know Aramaic, Hebrew and some other archaic languages is lying and most likely trying to mislead you. Although to be fair, even if they do know those languages they are probably trying to mislead you.
Oh there’s a lot more than just something.
I wonder if your dad just wanted to get out and you were an excuse.
tho, extreme christian - maybe he was trying to make you straight via exposure
Now when is someone gonna make femboy hooters a reality
Be the change you want to see

Me and a coworker could have stopped anywhere but we decided to eat at a Hooters just once so that we can say we did before it goes out of business
I just recently read a piece in which it was noted that the hooters waitresses are great allies to closeted gay boys that get taken to hooters by parents or family to encourage ‘normal’ heterosexual behavior.
I want expecting that but it was a pretty great aspect of a phenomenon that always seemed very one dimensional and flat to me.
I think I read this article too. It makes sense in a way.
What explains the connection between Hooters waitresses and young gay men? Perhaps these women — so often stigmatized as almost sex workers, so accustomed to society’s sidelong glances — see kindred spirits in the boys who aren’t quite “right.” Or maybe it’s simpler: a waitress’s knack for reading a room, turned tender for those who need it most.
That’s it! Thanks for digging it up.
That was a great read. Thanks for finding the article!
closeted gay boys that get taken to hooters by parents or family to encourage ‘normal’ heterosexual behavior.
…is that what hooters is for? That makes sense in a sad sort if way
Hooters is for any situation where you’re specifically not going to a strip club. Son ain’t showing enough interest in girls? Hooters. Daughter’s showing too much, but you don’t know how to tell her you support her? Hooters. Night out with your friends, but you don’t want your partner to be mad you went to a strip club? Hooters. Feel like a family dinner that makes the kids feel awkward as fuck? Hooters.
Yeah it’s weird to me too. Like, I can see how for a certain type of person who can’t really easily talk about emotions or other private topics, this can be an attempt to bring their child into adulthood and the world of expressing interest in women. But also, fuck it’s a weird way to do it. Just sit the kid down or go for a walk or drive and give them a dating talk.
It’s not what is for, but it’s how it’s used. /I/kieron155 found the link to the article:
is that what hooters is for?
It’s not for people that like good food.
Totally agree those women are not flat
Their wings are terrible.
I feel morally obligated to put this into the thread.
Hooters is coming up with a delivery service where the Hooters’ girl will come to your house and give you the restaurant experience at home.
They are planning on calling it Knockers.
Is this true?
If it were it would be a sexual predator’s dream come true.
Don’t they have guards who accompany them?
Purely anecdotal.
So, the fat hillbilly looking guy goes to a sleazy motel and orders a girl.
When the girl gets there he refuses to pay and refuses to let her leave.
She calls her pimp. He shows up in a fancy car with two buddies.
Except the hillbilly has a dozen friends waiting in the next room. They get the gun and the car and drive back to the pimp’s place and clean it out.
The moral to your story is not to allow attractive women, or any women, to go to guests they don’t know in motels.
(/s)
Rentboys have entered the chat…
They’ve probably entered other things, too…
Oh, sweet innocent child.
Google ‘adult escorts near me’
You can find all sorts of companionship if you’re willing to steal mommy’s credit card.
Do escorts and prostitutes normally take Credit Card?
Call and find out.
Sure, what’s the number?
It’s really too bad you don’t own some sort of device that connects to the internet.
Or maybe you can’t figure out how to get past the controls Mommy put on it.
If your mother doesn’t want to checking out escorts, I’ll acede to her aurthority over you
Is Craigslist still a thing?
Because if it is, I’m sure you can find someone who will make it true for you.
I would absolutely not want someone I’d found on Craigslist in my house.
Maybe Eroticreview.com?
Not that I would know personally, but I have seen them advertise in magazines found out in the woods.
Good on you for asking these questions in a timeline that absolutely justifies them.
Yeah, this isn’t “sexual repression,” this is sexual control. The point is that the attractive women is in a subservient position to you.
How about a vegan Hooters?
Lesbian bars don’t make much money unfortunately. /s
and now I’m wondering how many lesbians went to Hooters.
I can’t say what portion, but I certainly know the type
I think the popularity of Hooters was because the lie that the stripper is in love with you is more believable at the Hooters.
