Stag do plans and suspect abbreviations

[WestlieJ]

DP is joint best man for a close friends Wedding in early summer and the stag is abroad next month. DP sorted the logistics of booking, chasing everyone for payment etc (there is 16 people going). The other best man has put together a ‘plan’ for the long weekend and sent to DP for his approval.

I’ve seen this because it’s saved to iCloud and we can jointly access that through the iPad we share to watch Netflix etc.

It’s all fairly standard stuff, but the final section is titled ‘expected costs’ and lists things such as a beer, meal in restaurant, etc, to help people budget. Within this section there are abbreviations, which I’ve taken to be ‘dodgy’ given they are not written in full and one is fairly obviously a strip club, although no idea on ‘MP’.

Ive got it in front of me as took a photo so have written out exactly:

SC - Ent: €10-20 / PD: €50-70
MP - €50 / HR +€30 / OWO + €40 / PM,SO +€50 / FS €100

I have already asked DP who said he scanned over the main itinerary and didn’t even realise that last section was on there and has no idea what it means. He also said he never has and never will step foot in a strip club.

Am I being naive to think DP was unaware? And does anyone know what the last part means?

I'm sort of torn here between absolute disgust at this behaviour and utter bafflement at what the point of it even is.
I'm sure there is a point, otherwise why offer it? But it's beyond me.

Apparently it's a great addition.

It's because there a hint of something sexual in the title.

Just look at the porn threads, they are always crawling with them.

They love to gather here and tell us how wrong we are while convincing themselves they are one of the good guys but as ever they are just men who hate women.

So who is using all the brothels in Benidorm then? 🙄

OP's DP already said some of the stags were frequent fliers in Thailand.

Was that a joke too?

Except, based on the messages the OP found, that IS what they're going there for.

I assumed nothing. I based my post on what you yourself said.

I think this thread set up with all its oh so mysterious acronyms has been deliberately snd cynically created to wind people up. Someone someman is getting a kick from watching women trying to work out what vile acts the acronyms refer to. No woman would be this stupid.

Not stupid. Naive and now in denial. I imagine she's quite young.

My husband has been to plenty of stag dos where a group of them peal off half way through the night to go to the strip clubs etc and the people not interested just stay and have a drink. Just because others on the holiday are set on doing it doesn’t mean your husband is

We don't know her age

I don't know how many times I need to explain this. I was trying to say that if they wanted to pay for sex they could do it anywhere and not everyone who goes on holiday to Benidorm on a stag weekend is doing it for sex. As has been suggested on this thread more than once

Yes I know what the OP said. I can read.

Not the point people are making

My son was tested for dwarfism, although he doesnt have it- I always think of him. And it absolutely breaks my heart that some disgusting people out there could reduce my wonderful, interesting, funny kind little baby to just be a stag do joke. This whole thread makes me feel sick. What's that Futurama quote- stop the world- I want to get off.

Its not about snooping or control or checking. Its about morals and standards and boundaries.

Having friends who visit strip clubs and pay for lapdances (and anything else) would mean he condones the behaviour even if he doesnt partake in it.

For me, those kind of morals and associations would dry me up quicker than the Sahara desert......but those are my standards...... you do you 🤦‍♀️

I wasnt trying to tie myself up in knots. Thanks. The point I made and I stand by it is that not everyone who goes on a stag weekend to Benidorm pays for sex -

I missed the Thailand post, maybe quote it?

Here you are:

”As I said earlier, DP doesn’t know many of those going and thinks the other best man has included those details for the benefit of his 6 or 7 mates who are going of which a few are ‘single lads’ and another couple he knows are regulars in Thailand and make no secret of what they get up to.”

Fair enough, I guess DP doesn't think it's a joke and he'd know better than us, I stand corrected.

Maybe the groom and your dh is against it should be cancelling and doing something different @WestlieJ

Who says you don't learn anything on MN. Clutches pearls!

Yeah. Maybe they could go flower arranging or cupcake making. Or go to the pub for a curry. The OP isn't going to come back on here anyway.

True

This article is intetesting. The man says he enjoys it but it does sound humiliating.
