Bachelor Party to Survive: How Men Say Goodbye to Single Life

It is understood that a bachelor party is an event where a man says goodbye to his worthless life before entering into a conscious life full of happiness, which cannot be exchanged for anything. But like any transition from one world to another, this event carries many risks. In male reality, the structure of dangers is simple: they are divided into only two types: women and serious injuries. Moreover, if the latter can still be imagined somehow from the heroic side, then with women it is very difficult in this regard.

Why, you ask, are men okay with this? It seems that the groom is all absorbed in pleasant chores on the way to a very joyful event, now the finish line, strewn with rose petals, is already visible, and he should all strive to get there, when suddenly… wait, I’m tired, I urgently need to rest in the company of cunning-eyed men, who tell the bride for me when I will return home.

In my opinion, the main problem with bachelor parties is that men cannot organize a bachelor party themselves. I’ve never been there myself, but I saw it from afar and it has attracted me ever since. Women, united, can talk about anything! This conversation itself contains the most interesting and meaningful part of the bachelorette party for them – at least I am absolutely sure of this, although I am not sure.

And the men? How does their conversation go? – So, are you going to get married? – Uh-huh.

That’s it, the significant part of the dialogue is over and there comes an awkward pause, which literally pushes you to order a striptease. In ordinary life, men, after meeting, can discuss work, politics, cars or even computer games – if they are already established individuals. But at a bachelor party we think that this is not the place for ordinary topics, after all, a friend has an important event and we need… in a special way… to… support him. “It’s like holding it upside down over a beer keg!” — a bright, unfiltered thought comes to mind simultaneously.

However, such mutual silence does not mean that men do not want to talk. They want it! They need it! But social pressure, like that exerted on a bar tap, prevents us from engaging in deep conversation.

Besides, I haven’t organized a bachelor party myself. Firstly, I don’t really like hanging upside down over a beer, and secondly, I don’t like explaining to everyone the next day why the blood vessels in my eyes burst. But the real reason is rather that I try to observe the main rule of important things: don’t tell anyone until it’s done. Of course, the future wife had to be informed about this – after all, in this situation she also runs risks. It smacks a little of superstition, but by God, it is enough to tell someone about an impending marriage, and then either the city’s shops will run out of round rings, or the institution of marriage will be abolished in principle.

Or maybe a bachelor party shouldn’t be fun at all. Who knows, suddenly a huge number of men around the world came close to this important line, but could not cross the boundary of the “unbridled party” stereotype. And there they stood, deprived of the opportunity to move into a truly profound experience of the moment: the resounding clarity of who they might become to their future spouses and to each other.

In general, by the way, it is not clear why I have not yet used the services of a psychologist for bachelor parties. Imagine how a group of men connected by friendly ties gather in a nice place where there are no unnecessary people, and they are told that having fun now… is not necessary. You can ask yourself important questions, listen to the answers, sit in silence for a while, and then go home in the morning haze, breathing courage and calm, which will be enough not only for many years, but also to choose the design of banquet cards for seating guests today.
