Stag dos...

159 replies

Slp86 · 22/02/2019 09:31

So I’m having a debate with DH about stag dos- thankfully his is well in the past!

However he was tasked with arranging stag dos for his friends and he went over board with arranging strippers- not just the standard club, but boats, airport transfers etc etc to include them! When I expressed my unhappiness over this - that I found it excessive and that a club is ‘acceptable’ to me, however trying to incorporate them in to every part of the trip seems obsessive and disrespectful to me and the other partners!

His reply is that it’s totally normal to have as many strippers as poss and that I’m deluded if I think stag do’s happen without strippers and that I’m unreasonable to basically have tried to get him to change the itintery to just include a club!

So help clear it up for me please! Am I a phsyco controlling bunny boiler or a woman who just doesn’t see the need for the men to have a stripper with them at every point of the day!? 🙈

Yes I’m starting to think this whole thread is made up. The OP hasn’t been back and what’s the point in posting and then not engaging with any responses?

And people have hit the nail on the head it is instinct in that men are more visual than women in that t

Not that old chestnut!

Adrienne, your beliefs (if they are real and) are truly disturbing. Not only because you see women as something less than sentient beings but also because you pigeon hole all men into this catergory of ‘they can’t help their urges’
I agree with the pp who said they felt your relationship sounds almost abusive.
You also don’t seem to see that what you state you believe about men and the way you describe yourself and your husband and your ‘badges of honour’ due to being virgins when you met actually do not correlate. Will you just accept it if (or by your beliefs) when he needs to look elsewhere at other women?

stopitandtidyupp · 23/02/2019 10:14

The woman who have let themselves go is a disturbing comment too.

It's all very shallow.

Roroba · 23/02/2019 10:23

Wow. Ok .
I find this whole subject a bit pathetic. As a couple , we have gone through certain situations which made us stronger and thankful for our friendship .
You of course have the right to suggest I am in an abusive relationship , I find it quite disturbing that you would make this assumption based on the fact my views are different to yours. Having been in a previous relationship where I was emotionally and physically abused over a number of years by a man who thought all women were worthless objects , this tells me your thought process is fairly limited. Its clear women like you will never see how trivial this whole subject is until it’s too late. I’m away to dig out some sexy underwear for later. Feel like degrading myself tonight . 🤟

Erm @roroba you seem to think the replies are to you- they are to Adrienne. You might need to reread them.

Newerversion · 23/02/2019 10:43

Or are you sock puppeting and posting as both? 🤨

youknowmedontyou · 23/02/2019 10:44

@Roroba who told you on this thread you were in an abusive marriage?

Roroba · 23/02/2019 10:47

Oh shit. So I have . Akward....
It’s times like these I wish I was less alive ...

Roroba · 23/02/2019 10:49

But scrabble is pretty shit ..

youknowmedontyou · 23/02/2019 10:50

Someone help! I'm totally confused by @Roroba!!

Moralitym1n1 · 23/02/2019 10:51

The normal in 1975 comment - from what I've heard from my parents generation - they often went to the pub with a few friends and went home, end of. Where was this normal in the 70s - Hugh Heffner's stag do?

FraggleRocking · 23/02/2019 10:52

Roroba - are you Adrienne and the OP? Was this just for fun?

Roroba · 23/02/2019 10:52

Don’t be confused , I’ve been thinking everyone is aiming their comments at me . Done.

Newerversion · 23/02/2019 10:55

Expecting those replies were we? 😉. It is all clear now.

Moralitym1n1 · 23/02/2019 10:58

You actually find most of the girls in the better known clubs such as FYEO and PR are all pretty much stunners

You're a bloke, aren't you.

A red pill bloke.

All your posts suggest it, but especially the one above.

nomorekale · 23/02/2019 11:04

So Adrienne is also Roroba....and it’s a man.

Good luck with digging out your sexy underwear. I’m sure it’s a sight to behold!

I find on MN, as in real life, that it’s always the most repressed ones that feel they have the most to prove.

Loons!

Roroba · 23/02/2019 11:05

Oh Christ. No not a bloke. Just easily confused.

nomorekale · 23/02/2019 11:06

Morality - yes that was the give-away for me too. Grin

Deadringer · 23/02/2019 11:07

So feminism is the cause of all these problems, I see. Yes red pill mra male, how did I not spot it before.

Roroba · 23/02/2019 11:13

I repeat. Not a man , just got confused with who the posts were directed too. I am not Adrienne either.

Newerversion · 23/02/2019 11:19

Every post mentioned Adrienne by name 😂 really not at all confusing

nomorekale · 23/02/2019 11:24

I’m picturing some creep in a dark room who started this thread tbh.

loubieloulou · 23/02/2019 11:24

Ex stripper here. Doesn't sound like he's hiring just strippers to me. Actual strippers only work in a club, it's their safe haven with doormen & the strict rules they enforce are adhered to. No strippers want to be 'spending time' with clients in the outside/real world. Your man has organised a shed load of party escorts!

Patroclus · 23/02/2019 11:25

Adrienne is cleary an american man.
