Anyone else feel like this?....

BrogstarBride, 28 September, 2012 at 20:33 Posted on Planning 0 8

So its the point where me and my OH are planning our hen and stag partys! WHY is it that Everytime we mention it in front of my OH's bloke mates they insist one winding me up and embarrassing him about ending up at a strip club or lap dancing club??!! I mean my OH said he would be mortified if they arranged that and Im not sure i like the idea of it i just have this big worry about men think its funny to live up to the whole Stag do thing ie strippers etc!! I think the more they know im worried about it and the more they know my OH would hate it the more they wind us up!! Anyone else have this feeling lol?

xx

    Nope - but then I can't imagine ever getting wound up by H's mates joking around to be honest.

    I'm not easily wound up though so probably not the best person to answer!

    Why'd you answer then, lol?!

    Yes, that would HUGELY bother me!!! Luckily my OH is the kind of man people mistake for gay, so doesn't have a lot of blokey mates who would subject him to this!

    No, sorry, I'm really not bothered about UK strip clubs. The majority of them are scuzzy, depressing places & the women are "protected" by big burly b*st*rds......Infact I'd be more worried about the bouncers beating my fella up for being drunk & taking the p*ss out of the girls.

    We've had it too, but in a way I'm not the one bothered by it, certainly not encouraging it, but I'm not going to be the one stopping any of their plans. Its not my place to say what should and shouldnt happen on the stag do. I know OH will be uncomfortable and I know he doesnt want it, he's just putting other decent ideas forward which are more him and his mates.

    Men aren't very imaginative. If you say stag-do and they dont have any ideas of they own, they automatically think strip clubs/lap dancing as thats the first stereotypical thing that comes to anyones mind. Once theres a few real ideas thrown in for them to focus on - they're easily distracted and get excited about them instead!

    this - exactly!!!! Stu is a bit lairy when he has had a beer, and would be too embarassed to actually have a dance or anything, but is likely to crack unsuitable jokes and get himself battered!

    Because it gives a balanced opinion. Forums aren't just about agreeing with the person asking for an opinion. Or at least one isn't.

    It wouldn't bother me either. perhaps you shouldn't react then they will get bored of winding you up, it wouldn't be so much fun for them then!

    OH is on his stag weekend now and if he goes to a strip club so what, they r not aloud to get within 5 feet of them let alone anything else, not to mention I trust him 100%, Mu brother texted me yesterday joking about strippers, my response make sure you get a red head as I know he isn't attracted to them!! I agree with others that if you stop reacting they will stop trying.
