    For all you ladies who are a little worried right now, I thought that the timing of this arcicle on MSN was totally appropriate!  I guess this was in Glamour this month.. haven't opened mine yet.

    Groomsmen Confess: 7 Reasons Not to Worry About His Bachelor Party

    Relax, The Hangover was just a movie. Usually "what happens in Vegas" isn't all that exciting. Here, guys share what really went down at their bachelor parties.

    by Brenda Della Casa

    1. Turns Out the Fantasies He Lives Out Are G-Rated

    "My friends and I are huge football fans, but most of us never had the chance to play in full pads, so we surprised the groom-to-be with helmets, shoulder pads — the whole deal. The best part was we set up a camera to tape the whole thing. Needless to say, the groom flipped."

    2. Not All Men Love Strippers

    "I am not a prude at all, and I like looking at beautiful women as much as the next man, but to me, strippers are not sexy. I am not the only person I know who feels this way, so if the guys want to hit the club, we'll tell them to meet us later at the casino."

    3. Some Guys Would Rather Party With Their Bride-to-Be

    "My bachelor party will be a joint party with the woman I am searching to find. We'll gather friends, go to dinner and get smashed together at an Irish pub."

    4. He Gets a Chance to Goof Off and Stay Out Late

    "What really happened at my friend Tom's bachelor party? Dinner, drinking and then Ultimate Frisbee in the parking lot — all at 3 A.M."

    5. Not Every Guy Is Tiger Woods

    "If women have a good and honest guy, then they have no reason to worry in any situation. If they don't, then they should worry about more than Dave's big bachelor party. A cheater doesn't need to wait for a bachelor party to cheat."

    6. He Just Wants to Relax With Friends

    "A bunch of us stayed at a resort in Jamaica for several days, just hanging out by the beach, eating like pigs and simply having a good time among friends, away from the hustle and bustle of the city."

    7. Most of the Stories You've Heard Are Tall Tales

    "I've heard of legends of bachelor parties that sound awesome, but I am still waiting for one to come along. I've been to a few, and they were pretty tame and pretty standard: steak house, strip club, too many shots and puking."

    Yup, a lot of guys don't want the movie bachelor party.  Mine did kareoke (no idea how this came to be, he's not usually into it), rafting, camping, and paintball during his weekend.  We talked about it before so I knew he wasn't into strippers so even if his groomsmen were insistant that it wouldn't last long and I also told him it'd make me sad.  Turns out none of his groomsmen are into strip clubs (which surprised me a bit).  They're pretty honest with me about things in general, even stuff sometimes I don't want to know about, so I think they would have told me if they were just avoiding a strip club because it'd make me sad.

    I have heard that a lot of guys do the sports/games route. I think FI is planning on at least going to a strip club for his. Personally I don't have a problem with this, as I completely trust FI. I figure let him have his fun for the night.

    The tale in number 7 sounds pretty much like my hubby's bachelor party.  Turns out he's a pretty lame guy.  I knew this about him so I wasn't worried at all.  Anyone that's worry should try to rest easy knowing that he proposed to you, he loves you and he doesn't want to be a douche for a night.  He just wants to have a memorable night with his fellas... even if its just a slighty blurred memory.

    I think this shows that guys will just be guys - they just want to goof off and spend time with their buddies.

    I am not even blinking an eye about my FI's bachelor party. Even if alcohol and strippers were allowed in the same venue here, which they are not.

    well FI is going to Vegas in 5 days...Im not worried just annoyed. He doesnt like strip clubs at all and is actually really awkward at them. However, all of his buddies are "pissed" that he doesnt want to go to a strip club so now Im worried they are going to drag him to one! :-(

    Um.. My husband liked the strip clubs. ALOT. So did the 19 guys who flew to New Orleans with him. It doesn't bother me in the least b/c I'm smart enough to know those girls are just there to make $ and not trying to steal my man. Boys will be boys, they need time away from us and every once in a while get nutz. Makes them appreciate life with us more! Clean socks, food on the table and no eviction notices!

    #2 is so true for my DH and his close friends.  DH had a joint bachelor party in Vegas with his best friend/best man.  No one in the group wanted to go to strip clubs... they decided they'd rather drink, eat, watch sports and gamble lol!

    I am not a fan of bachelor parties.  Luckily, neither is FI.  I just don't see how they are conducive to a healthy marriage.  But every relationship is different, I bet it would feel good to be in a relationship where you feel that confident and trusting of you man, and other women...  I know a lot of guys that aren't into strippers.  But I alsro know some true horror stories from bachelor parties.  But then again, if those boys still had those urges, maybe they weren't fit for marriage?

    Great list! I told my FI I couldn't care less if he had strippers and he said he wanted to rent out a movie theatre room with all hsi guys and play video games on the big screen and drink pitchers of beer. What.A.Dork. I think I would prefer the strippers!

    Clarebee- even if they drag him, if he doesn't want to go then he isn't going to do anything that you would object to! Take solace in that!

    i have a question to the ladies who get very angry by their FI's going to strip clubs..... maybe i am absolutely naive and out of the loop here, but correct me if i'm wrong - these women dance around naked and guys pay them. sometimes lap dances to exist. however there is no actual "messing around" (ie kissing, mouths on naked parts, etc) i'm just going by the "don't touch the strippers" signs lol.

    so if this is all true (and ya i realize in some clubs maybe not) why are you guys stressin about it? they are doing it for money and it means nothing. why aren't you more concerned about your FI going out to a dance club and picking up a drunk skank with no inhibitions?

    i hate to be so blunt here but the club to me seems way more sketchy than the highly observed and security monitored strip clubs

    and i agree with whoever said "a cheater does not need to wait for his bachelor party to cheat!"
