I think there is for hostesses but it is not as direct. Meaning they can say no and they tend to only go after repeat visits. Once they get to know u. This is my experience anyway but I could be wrong. Yes - much to talk about for sure. I think with the base membership there is no included LD - just discounts. I buy the LD as I go that way I can get base membership at a few places. Hopefully other people who go to member clubs will chime in.

A suit might be a little too overboard. I've only been to Forte a few times, and the only people I've seen in suits looked like midde aged Japanese salarymen. Who knows, it might make an even more favorable impression. I think Chelseablue is onto something - the lighting and pretty dress does make a difference. Regarding the twins, one of them looked downright ordinary (okay, a 5-7) when she was out of the limelight of Orbit. Phoenix - i think what you are planning to wear is fine.

I think the first burning question apart from the membership fees which you covered is the bar fine,ST and/or LT rates that you have experienced. Are the women genuinely that stunning?? As has been said on the blog on many occasions once removed from thier habitat and the pretty dress taken away the girls can often appear quite ordinary.

I guess I will just have give it a try despite the language barrier. I never planned to go there in shorts anyway, hehe. I was just thinking if a nice shirt and long pants with normal shoes are enough or if a suit or anything similar might be required. Thanks for the quick reply! kallah,

If i recall correctly, Sopranos/Orbit had at least two levels of membership - 20,000, 30,000 and I think even a 50,000 one. For the 30,000 one you got something like six bottles, 80-120 drinks (including the lady drinks) and free mixers, although my memory is a little hazy on that. You can easily go through all the drinks in a couple of visits if you go in a group of four and aren't careful (some girls may order two drinks a round), but the bottles do tend to last a long time. Smitty, you and I have a mutual friend who introduced me to Orbit a few years back - we went in on a membership together and he gave away all the lady drinks after three visits. so a membership at forte is only 15-20,000?

I think forte is the place to go see the greatest number of stunning women in one place - the first time I went there I was overwhelmed at the number of 8s, 9s and 10s. I still prefer sopranos as it has more of a "neighborhood bar" feel to it when compared to a place like forte. The language barrier is a barrier at forte and any other club. You might still be able to get by, but knowing the langauge at those places definitely gives you a leg up. I don't think there is a dresscode at forte, although I never saw anyone in shorts and sandals. if you dress like a slob, then you're probably going to have a lonely night. the twins! they do everything together - they both studied at the same university, had the same major (marketing) and lived together as well. on top of that, they are best friends.
