Looking respectable doesn’t means jeans and a t-shirt unless they are tailored and the shirt says Gucci or something on it. Perhaps what Lukes is referring to is Professor-style wear. For me, I’ve dress up in a Florida-style jumpsuit and let in a place that seems off limits to most. That Boca look served me well. Left that at home this time as I’m not on vacation. I might try other random places. To try my luck again. I did see some signs that said “No foreigners”. And Foriegners Fucking go home”. Something like that. I’ve been rejected by places in a nice suite and the so keep in mind that it’s not always about your clothes. It could be the doorman’s orders from the boss. It could be lack of Nihongo skills. It could be your skin color. It could be the girls in the back. I was told by a manager that the girl I chose would only service Asian cock. She was not interested in foreigners, found them disgusting. Something like that. Then there is the image of the shop and beliefs that foreigners have dirty dicks that carry venereal diseases. Thus they may lose local business due to such stereotypes. They may or may not be true but the beliefs are there. Some my question my statements but it’s what I’ve experienced. Good luck if you are from India from what I’ve heard from them during company drinking events. On the other hand a black guy I know regularly mongers to the point of me thinking he’s an addict to sex. But the dude gets around and he’s a hoot. He did tell me that he never tries to go to a soap without a suite, but deriheru he wears whatever he feels like at the time. So Id say wear a nice blazer with nice jeans or slacks and or a suit. But that is my opinion.
