Chippendales [[note]]founded by Somen "Steve" Banerjee, who died October 23, 1994[[/note]] is a club known for pretty much one thing: attractive men who strip, dance and perform stage shows for female-only audiences, not necessarily in that order. The club is more or less synonymous with 'male strippers', although its intention is to be more than just strippers, instead 'fulfilling women's fantasies' on the whole. In fact, the biggest thing that makes a male strip club a Chippendales-style club is if it ''only'' admits women.[[note]]There aren't really strip clubs that cater to gay/bi men, just {{gay bar}}s that feature male dancers. If anything, they're ''tamer'' than Chippendales-style clubs[[/note]]
