The last bachelor party I went to, the groom tried to puke out of the window of a moving car, and pretty much covered me in vomit (in the back seat.) A quiet dinner out sounds like a good idea.

The effeminization of the american male continues.

Tat'dGreaser: Just curious, are you attracted to naked women? Now I'm not calling you gay, doing that as an insult is messed up. I'm just wondering if guys are more and more asexual these days. Or is it just the internet.

From the attitudes i see amongst my cohort (30 and below) strip clubs are kind of looked down on. ugly/old/pregnant chicks is the cliche, the clientel are desperate, sad loners who need to pay to get teased and the strippers are just screwing you out of cash and laughing at you behind your back.

shower_in_my_socks: The whole tradition is pretty f*cking retarded. "We're getting married because we love each other more than we ever imagined possible... so let's go cheat on each other in a crazy blowout party!"

If never seeing another naked dude/chick again, other than your spouse, is that f*cking scary to you, DON'T GET MARRIED.

See now this is funny because it is not like that at all. It is a day of celebration for those getting married. It is fun and baudy and ya there is strippers and stuff on both sides but not a single one that I went to ever ended up with cheating on either the bride or groom part. This is the laughable at best and doing it wrong all over....time to turn off Oprah and loosen up

My brother's bachelor party back in 2001 consisted of a night out drinking, return to his house, hilarious blindfolded group lap dance by his best man, and Axis and Allies in the man cave until everyone passed out from exhaustion. We completed one game and started a second, but then it was lights out. Actually was pretty decent overall. They're still together and going strong.

JokerMattly: Can anyone give a first-hand primer on Strip club behaviors and etiquette for someone who has never been? I don't really know what to do, how to prepare, what is appropriate, etc etc etc.

1. Take lots of $20s and lots of $1s.
2. Don't get a dance from the first girl who asks. Take in the scene for a while.
3. Be polite.
4. It's ok to say "No thank you". Don't apologize about it.
5. Most importantly, keep your hands to yourself. They can touch you but you can't touch them.

Mine was dinner at an upscale steakhouse followed by a night of heavy drinking at a local brewpub with friends. No strippers or titty bars. I've never been much for the strippers, really. It's always struck me as kind of uncomfortable.

My bachelor party involved a fully nude strip club, two visits to the VIP room, getting kicked out, paying one stripper over $500 in lap dances and a shemale.

JokerMattly: Plan for my day is as such:

1: Boardgames for a bit. Potentially induce round 1 of Bang: The Drinking Game (Whenever you're shot, take a shot. Whenever you heal with beer, drink a drink. Whenever you die, finish your drink. )
2: Dinner Someplace. No idea where yet.
3: Strip Club. Because I've never been, and I probably won't again after I'm married, so why the hell not.
4: Hotel Room for excessive drinking with Boardgames/Poker

Exciting! For me anyhow.

The dancers want you to touch them as much as possible. And never buy an alcoholic drink, it's usually against the club's policy.

I just got back from Vegas for my bachelor party, so I'm really getting a kick...

Went down to Vegas with two friends, met a third friend who lives there and we went to various 'clean' attractions.

The 'quiet dinner' was the Heart Attack Grill, and the drinking took place at the video poker bar at the 4 Queens.

We would have driven to Area 51, but it's a 4-5 hour round trp...

/Still have to go to work today...

You know. About two weeks ago my friend had a conventional booze/strippers bachelor party and the whole thing just wasn't terribly fun. It was just a bunch of sweaty, low tipping drunk guys and fake breasted per hour hired women. It just didn't really offer a whole lot, and I suspect the only thing sadder than the eyes of the strippers was the certain knowledge I had that I could never buy the type of company I actually wanted.

At a bachelor party in the late 90's I watched a married friend of mine go down on a nasty, methed out looking stripper from Mississippi while the stripper's bodyguard/DJ/brother (seriously, her brother) watched and gave a big toothless grin while operating the 80's ghetto blaster.

The friend proceeded to spend the next 5 minutes eating out this nasty chick in front of all of us (probably 25 people). All of the laughing and shouting we were doing stopped while we watched in disgust/disbelief at the entire situation. The party took place IN the stripper lickers house while his wife was out of town. Another friend took it upon himself to hide the stripper's business cards in random parts of the house for the dude's wife to find later on.

Strip club = cheating? You sound fun.

Strip clubs are weird, you get the young bachelor party crowds that are in there for a good time throwing their stank ass dollar bills all over the place. Then you get the creepy 45 year old dude who goes in and buys 1 drink, sits in the front and just stares for hours while nursing that same drink the whole time and never throws ANY money to the strippers.

FreakinB:
I may get killed by my fellow thread-goers for this, but I will say that I don't think I'd want strippers at mine. Drinking, gambling, and a great meal? Yes, yes, and yes. But I've always found the whole stripper thing awkward.

WHAT A FAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!!!!!11

thisisyourbrainonFark: The dancers want you to touch them as much as possible. And never buy an alcoholic drink, it's usually against the club's policy.

And tipping is discouraged.

Then don't have a bachelor party.

Mad Scientist: Do both, and bring plenty of dollarth for the thwipperth.

1) Bring all the cash you plan to spend, and plan to spend a LOT. LEAVE YOUR CREDIT CARDS in the car.Pay as you go, no tabs.
2) Practice the willing suspension of disbelief that will allow you to believe that the girls really dig you.
3) No touching beyond what they are amenable to. Don't grab.
4) To get the best dancers at your table, tip decent at the stage and tell them to come by. Don't just wait in the corner.
5) Enjoy yourself. Try not to over think it.
6) DO NOT LEAVE with anyone you didn't come with, and don't leave anyone behind.

A) The Bachelor pays for nothing. That's the job of the groom's party.

PYROY: Another friend took it upon himself to hide the stripper's business cards in random parts of the house for the dude's wife to find later on.

Now THAT'S funny.

Felgraf: The last one I went to consisted of all-day paintball, followed by a good meal with friends and hanging out. No strippers, but I think it was way more fun. You want to see naked people, the internet kinda has that covered.

I don't understand this idea that "IF YOU DON'T HAVE STRIPPERS YOU'RE NOT A REAL MAN". That seems... silly.

Exactly. What does enjoying naked females have to do with being a real man? There's lots of other things you can enjoy. Take egg white omelets, for example.

Heamer: I'm 26 and have never been to strip club... That is, the idea of paying for a boner doesn't appeal to me.

You should go with some friends. It's like a car show, just checkin out that sweet Ferrari 458. And yes I'm comparing strippers to objects. Very nice objects.
I don't like strip clubs, but I like strip clubs. It's a conflicted opinion I'm sure many have.

/pro tip: go with some girls

I have a question for the pro-stripper brigade.

Don't you get uncomfortable looking at naked girls with your brothers, dad, cousins, her brothers, her male friends, etc?

My husband went to a strip club once in his late 20s. His dad took him and he felt very uncomfortable.

(I like the fun weekend away idea since you're more likely to lose that by having kids and getting busy with life, then losing the ability to see naked women. It's not the strip club is going anywhere.)

Tat'dGreaser: You young kids upset me

well, strip clubs are pretty much the opposite of the idea of the cool guy- old or new. can you see steve mcqueen all excited because he is getting a lap dance? john wayne? Clint Eastwood? i mean, *maybe* charles bronson, if he was planning on shooting a bunch of guys in the strip club. otherwise, no way. cool people don't go to strip clubs. that's been drilled into any under 30 consumer of pop culture.

This is just a byproduct of the average marriage age going up. I'm sure the guys who get married at 24 are still doing the strip club thing.

so they advise doing on your bachelor party the exact few things left to do AFTER you are married ? who wrote this a farking fiance ? Its a farking bachelor party, not a husband party biatch !!

BojanglesPaladin: A) The Bachelor pays for nothing. That's the job of the groom's party.

Damn. I forgot that rule. We went with some cheap bastards who made me and one other guy pay for almost everything. Well, a couple of the guys pitched in a little.

Tat'dGreaser: Inaditch: JokerMattly: Can anyone give a first-hand primer on Strip club behaviors and etiquette for someone who has never been? I don't really know what to do, how to prepare, what is appropriate, etc etc etc.

5. Most importantly, keep your hands to yourself. They can touch you but you can't touch them.

That's about it. It's a good once in a blue moon fun.

Also, just in case it needs to be mentioned, drinks are usually double or more normal bar prices at a strip club. Like if you can get a beer for 5 bucks it's gonna be 10+ etc. I think I'm about a 1 beer, 1 lap dance, 1 hour kind of strip club visitor. It's fun once in a while but gets old pretty quick.

I don't understand the whole bachelor/bachelorette party thing. I mean, if you are going to so desparately miss partying like that with your buds/girls, because apparently in concept once you marry you aren't allowed to party anymore...then why get married? It seems like if you think marriage is going to suck that bad, well then why do it?

*shrug* marry someone you want to party WITH. Then do that. You'll both outgrow it eventually or not, either way, you should be good to go.

"Party because life as I know it is coming to an end" seems depressing and death-marchy to me.

LaraAmber: Don't you get uncomfortable looking at naked girls with your brothers, dad, cousins, her brothers, her male friends, etc?

Nope.

kid_icarus: ...a shifting mindset among men who cite a "been there, done that" mentality, financial fatigue and a new distaste for raunchier activities that don't fit into their lives.


It's also worth noting that the guy in the article is 35. People in general are getting married much later in life and the wild oats were all sown years ago.

This makes the most sense. That and maybe the people with tons of oats just realize that they're not interested in getting married. It seems like marriage is less of an expectation now than it was in the past so perhaps they're still having the crazy parties, they're just not bachelor parties?

My bachelor party ended with my battered, bruised and stuffed into a trunk. It started with beers & tequilas at a bar. How it got from one to the other still eludes me. And there are no pictures.

If I were to fall for the whole marriage boondoggle again, I don't think I'd want strippers, but beers, buddies and maybe some golf/pool/paintball/laser tag or something.

I left a bachelor party early once as I was dating his sister. Felt that would be awkward, still had a fun day drinking though. I left at the bar that coyote ugly is based on.

if I were to create my own religion a wedding wouldn't count if the groom didn't have a bachleor party where they were forced on stage to be whipped by a stripper with their own belt...

I didn't have a bachelor party. I didn't want one. My buds thought I was nuts, but I had no desire to go out and get tore-up drunk/stoned and screw around with a bunch of strippers and hookers. Besides, I was having a morning wedding, so I would have had to call it something of an early meeting. I guess I remembered how my sister looked at her wedding after her bachelorette bash: like she was barely there and about to puke on her groom. I didn't want that and, as it turned out, I didn't need it. My fiancé's parents sponsored a party at their house that our friends wanted to throw. There was live music, plenty of booze/pot and a lot of our mutual friends. My buddies were invited. Two came and had a great time. The rest went trolling for hookers "in my honor." One got the crabs and passed them onto his wife. Whoops.

BojanglesPaladin: 2) Practice the willing suspension of disbelief that will allow you to believe that the girls really dig you.

Do you actually know any guy that needs this told to them?

Only time I've ever been to a strip club was as part of a lesbian bachelorette part in DC (DC farkers, we went to Camelot), I just felt awkward, and I don't see the fun of looking and not touching.
