It probably fitted Joey better.
In the episode after Chandler breaks up with Kathy, you might remember that everyone’s favourite smartass had a very specific plan about how to get over his ex.
Phase 1: Wear sweatpants
Phase 2: Get drunk and go to a strip club.
Phase 3: Picture yourself with other women
Phase 4: Become only interested in having sex with strippers and your friends.
Bulletproof.

In fact, strippers have a strong influence in the history of Friends. Who can forget Danny DeVito giving Phoebe the perfect lap dance or the time when Joey thought that the stripper stole Emily’s wedding ring.
Well, during a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen , Matthew Perry revealed that there was one storyline in Friends that he vetoed against.
“There was a storyline on ‘Friends’ where Chandler went to a male strip joint because he really liked the sandwiches. I called up and I said, ‘Let’s not do this one.’”
To be fair, that does seem like the perfect fit for Joey because after all, when asked to choose between women and sex, Mr Tribbiani gave the perfect response “I want girls on bread”
