More expensive bachelor parties are probably a by product of people getting married later. I spend more on bachelor parties for someone when I was 30 than 23
I haven't played video games, other than a few phone and browser based games here and there, since high school. But if it were like an old school gaming system party, like SNES, NES, N64, etc. I'd be all over that. That would be fun as hell.
Was just at a bachelor party in Savannah and our Airbnb was right above this dorky ass video game bar. Was pretty fun to do during down time
Also, as a Gen Xer, I'm in full support of the millenial GTA-style industrial genocide. Jump that fence, steal that tank and get to blowing up an Applebee's
The place itself was dorky. Like all the menu items were named after some obscure fantasy realm shit that made no sense so you had to read the description to figure out what it was. It had Harry Potter themed rooms, etc. It was fun but dorky as fuck
I'm sure it's already been mentioned but how big of fucking rubes were/are the boomers? Not only do they love to eat shitty food, but a factor that went into killing the chain restaurant is that restaurants now know how to prepare things like brussel sprouts, green beans, etc. All those helpless boomer fucks could do was boil everything.
Millenials killing bachelor/ette parties -> Millenials killing weddings -> Millenials killing nuclear family -> negative birthrate in western society -> downfall of civilization
Yeah, can't underestimate how the internet enabled our generation to be more discerning Before the hive mind there was a lot of benefit with chains because you knew what you're getting would be consistent across cities and state lines I explain to my (old) dad about how I pick places to eat and I think he thinks it's wizardry
I don't. Have you seen what they've done since they found out about memes? They just made them racist.
"If I attend just nine of these trips in a lifetime, I will have spent up to $9,954, or 24.8% percent of a down payment on the median U.S. home." Who the fuck is going to 9 bachelor parties?
"If I attend just nine" like he'd have to make some tough decisions on the many beyond nine he would otherwise attend
Over a lifetime, nine (at least nine invitations) doesn't seem that many to me if you have a bunch of close friends.
2 don't really count money wise since they were destination trips, but next year will put me at 9 exactly.
Congrats at not being able to buy a house. Spoiler You'll probably be able to afford a house. In fact, if you currently have a house then I hate you because I'd really like to buy one now, but we need to save a bit more
between friends i grew up with / hungout with after moving back home + college friends that my dad paid for me to have, probably been to ~15. decent handful of those were just golf and gambling trips to somewhere like Biloxi though. Just need a few wannabe poker players in the group that get comp'd rooms and food and those trips actually are dirt cheap (unless you lose your ass gambling) but also would be miserably lame if you weren't a gambler at all. first 2 of our group of guys here just got engaged and have bachlor parties this fall. unless there's more foreveralone's in this group i'll probably end up going to 7-8 more when it's all said and done. Never buying a house
dude on the very back knows how much fun those things actually are... old apt was next door to Tiniest Bar in Tx which is the first stop for every single one of them. No less than 4 of them every fucking friday from 4-6pm. All full of girls singing way too goddamn loud for having just been to 1 bar so far
This is one of those bars that you have to pedal on right? Not sure if you're saying they suck, I haven't ridden one but they look like fun. Detroiters had a funny episode with one where it sucked because the guys were so out of shape.
Just pointing out the abundance of bachelorette parties that utilize them here (and what I've heard damn near every city that has them). Is understandable as girls are stupid and a group of them on one of those probably would be fun for them.
i can confirm this. all one of my friends wanted to do was go to a casino for his bachelor party. i don't play video poker or table games, so i ended up drinking in the parking lot after i got tired of paying like $8 per ounce of liquor. i think we were there for 18 hours.
Been to several expensive bachelor parties, but all of the attendees also own homes now. Article is fakenews.
