I wish I could remember the name of a documentary I saw a few years ago because its a pretty realistic picture of the industry, without getting into too much of the sordid aspects.
It shows the "glamorous" image and then the life the average guys live behind the scenes, including those same crummy jobs around the club that they have to do when customers aren't asking for them. It was very clear that the one man they followed in part of it was the exception to the rule with his very high standard of living that was about to allow him to retire comfortably in his early 40s. The shocking part for me was the amount some hosts actually bring in (aside from trinkets & undeclared earnings). Some of the women have far more expendable income than most I know.
