This guy goes and schmoozes the dirty strippers just fine, and they all act like they are interested and he is certain that they are all over him.... Then he tries to go to a real bar and the chicks there aren't gonna pretend that they find him interesting. He will get shot down over and over again- I mean after all, he IS that creepy guy who goes to strip clubs alone.

No, actually you're completely missing the point. The point is NOT that the guy is 'practicing' for a real-world scenario, as much as he's getting over his initial fear of even being in a situation with a girl. The fact that she's naked and interested - to the point of being overly so, in fact - is indeed the most important thing.
Many "nice guys" are paralyzed by fear or self-doubt. What causes these fears? Well, it's a fear of rejection, it's discomfort in social settings, it's the fact that girls are soft and smell good, it's a variety of things. To overcome this paralysis, the guy has to face these fears, and assuage that nervousness.
He's not actually practicing 'running game' on strippers - for the very reasons you state, it's not going to be representative. In fact, I noted this very phenomenon by stating "no real chance for negative reprocussions," which we can sum up as 'failure.'
Instead, he's practicing not being a pansy ass, and choking down those fears and becoming a participant instead of an observer. The blatant nudity, the 'stripper smell,' the fact that everything is completely over-the-top (including the stripper's reactions) means that the guy has even more to shove down into the pit of his stomach.
My point is not that this is such fantastic 'practice' because it simulates real-world situations in such exacting detail - it's that there simply aren't many substitutes for the 'real thing' to allow these guys to overcome their fears, and the strip club might just be the craziest (and thus somewhat effective) one.
None of this includes or precludes the guy being a creep - that's independent of the strip club. Guys that are creepy were creepy before the club, and will be creepy after, but not necessarily because. Does that make sense?
