Geez. People act like the only things in life that matter are beer and boobies. What happened to imagination, or is life that dumbed down already? (Thinks of Idiocracy) Last one I went to, well, involved stripper and booze, but the one before it was paintball. I enjoyed the paintball alot more than the stripper and booze.

In regards to the stripper, perhaps the guy would like to respect his future wife and the vows he's about to make. Just because you're about to married doesn't mean you should go girl crazy before hand.

As for the booze, I'm not quite sure why that couldn't be involved. While I don't drink to get drunk, I don't get upset if others do.

Well, not the ONLY thing, but come on...

I agree though, all of the best bachelor parties I've been to have been stripper free, though all have involved at least a little alcohol at some point.

I do not recommend mountain biking thouhg. We did that for a buddy's bachelor party and he ended up flipping his bike and smashing his face. Ended up knocking out a tooth and getting 10 stitches on his face, not to mention the bruising and swelling. Needless to say the bride was over the moon happy.

Go to a gun range and shoot?

Paintball?

Mini-golf?

Sporting event?

I'm also planning on attaching a chain to a bowling ball and making him carry it all night, would be more fun if he was drunk though... :)

I imagine we'll have around 10 guys, nothing huge.

jesus

just shoot him and end his early misery

Bingo. I'm like this guy, I wouldn't want some stripper at my bachelor party. My bro didn't and had no alcohol either (I was 20 anyway at that time) and we still had fun.

Respect for the future wife FTW.

well, when you think bachelor party, what ideas does one get?

Typically its offically the last night a guy can do stuff he normally wouldnt be able to after he gets married.

Not having those two is actually outside norm if you call it a bachelor party.

This is how society shaped it. Theres not much you can do about the stereotype.


Personally if you ask me, money on stripper is better spent else where.

However, i think the booze would still have to be in play. Even tho i dont drink.

I agree that the whole sad, cynical "stripper" thing plays out relatively lamely every time. Now, drinking otoh . . .

OP, do you have an amusement park near you?

If not, and your group doesn't golf or bowl, maybe you could find a classy and memorable "singing telegram" service that would send someone to him at your party.

To assuage the gods of bachelor parties, it could be some really good looking woman with a talented singing voice belting it out to "Daddy" while she peels off her leather cop costume down to black silk panties and bra, no std's or inappropriate contact included.

Just saying. Alternatives abound.

How empty and vacuous must your life be if your only way to have fun involves strippers and alcohol?!?

I simply cannot stand people who think their whole world revolves around this kind of vile filth-- the kind of filth that only brings emotional emptiness and moral bankruptcy.

I could rant on for hours about this, but I'm already fifteen minutes late meeting a few friends of mine at a local gentlemen's club.... so I must continue this some other time.
