      glad to see i am not the only one didn’t like the experience there. it all felt like everyone was trying to get me to spend my dollars while giving nothing of value in return, classic tourist trap

        Grew up there. Myrtle Beach is the kind of place where everyone has 3 jobs and no money. The place thrives on tricking others into relieving them of theirs.

        However, can also confirm it’s an easy place to catch crabs.

        Wow, our family has gone 3 times now in the past 5 years. It’s always been great for us. As someone trying to get the cheapest vacation with the most value, this was really the only spot to go. Sure, the hotel rooms were not the greatest, but they had on-site watersides, kids’ pools, lazy river, and multiple indoor and outdoor pools with hot tubs. Beach was just past that. Idk where you’re from, but for someone in NJ, there is nothing that I have found that offers anything like that from here all the way down. Entire week was like $1700. If I wanted a hotel half as good here, it’s like $4k to 5k for the same week. The only complaints I have are some sketchy areas to be avoided, but we got the same problems up here. They are all tourist traps, but I would rather spend the least to give my kids a decent time. Also, the beach is way nicer than NJ!

        Maybe one day I’ll have some extra money to go somewhere else…

    I thought genital crabs were almost a thing of the past due to the sudden popularity of pubic waxing/shaving.

      Saw a story where people were volunteering to host crabs so they can be studied before they go extinct. Let’s just say I’ve fucked several dozen people and haven’t had but one case of crabs, 30+ years ago.
