Paint Ball? Why don't you all bring your lap tops and play World of Warcraft While your at it? C'Mon guys this is a bachelor party, I mean paint ball, man I hated you guys in High School. Chicks man Chicks. That's what this is all about. You have to be with the same woman for the rest of your life and you want to play paint ball? Is your Mom going to come along and serve Hot Pockets?

Personally, I would have to agree with ThePlunge.com's advice that the bachellor party's primary objective is for the Groom to have fun. If dude wants to play paintball and have a blast while doing so, more power to him. This spiel your giving about paintball being nerdy serves only to reveal your insecurity about having a small dick. This is further reinforced by your not having gotten over highschool. Grats. Insofar as I have seen on this website, this isnt the place to overcompensate for your genital shortcomings. Try somewhere else, i.e. the comments section of youtube videos.

Somehow I missed this post earlier.  Too funny.

BigBiff, if we add to the "paintball article" (I'm guessing you're referring to this one -- http://theplunge.com/bachelorparty/bachelor-party-ideas

) I'll definitely add playing with Legos, reading comic books, trading baseball cards, and playing D&D.

As someone who heartily enjoys both nightlife debauchery and Halo.... I think that sounds like a hell of a plan.  That's what it's all about -- doing shit you enjoy with your friends.  Why pretend to have fun doing stuff you don't actually like to do?  That makes no sense.   Your agenda might not be perfect for everyone, but all that counts is that it's perfect for you.  (And yes, I'm fully aware that that's the cheesiest thing I've ever written on this site.)

Seems like a cool bachelor party, and one I'd enjoy.  Remember, the bachelor party is your night to blow off steam before the wedding, so if fragging your friends in Halo is your way to do it, more power to ya!

I know my guys are planning an event that has more hype than our usual shenanigans.  We're a bunch of nerds, and yes nerds rule the world now, so they're going to (I think if what they've mentioned is what will happen) split the event in two.

The first half will consist of dinner at a nice restaurant where we can have.  This will be nice for the guys who are coming who are older.  After that the rest of us my age are peeling off and going for some laser tag, mini golf, and drinking.  I think ThePlunge's article is dead on.  This is a time to really connect with each of our friends and important people in our life.  If that is at a strip club then go for it (not my bag) or if it is at a LAN party that's cool too.

The important bit is just spending quality time with these guys.  Sure we'll hang out and see each other after the wedding but things will be different.  Instead of hanging out with the guys a few times a week we'll be hanging out with them maybe once a week and spending the rest of the time with our wives.  That's not bad it is just different and for me I think that is great.

I also view the bachelor party as a way to let each guy know that they're still important to me and that although our friendships will be growing in a new direction, the friendships won't be going away because I'm wearing a new ring on my finger, living in a new place, and being married to someone wonderful.  As guys I don't think we like to be emotional (some more than others) but deep down everyone likes to know they're special and to feel appreciated.  This party is a two way street to let all of us know that we value each other.
