Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties?
What is your definition of these? And what do you think the point in having these are?

Usually, the definition and point of these parties is a social gathering designed to experience a taste of the single life once more before committing to one person. They are a way to celebrate being a bachelor or bachelorette for the last time. Not sure how "commitment healthy" they are, though, particularly those that involve strippers and the like. I don't see how those kinds of parties can be good for a person's commitment to another. I mean, if you're gonna marry someone, keep your eyes on them only.
I think they are a silly rite of passage
@Katseye4pirates@xanga - "the definition and point of these parties is a social gathering designed to experience a taste of the single life once more before committing to one person." I never understood this, aren't you already committed to one person if you are in a exclusive relationship with them? If you are in an exclusive relationship with someone, then you are no longer single. It just frustrates me that some people feel the need to go out and "experience a taste of the single life" one last time before going out and getting married. To me, it signifies that they are expecting the marriage to be a lock down and that they are not prepared for marriage if they feel the need to go "get it all out of their system."
@aotolife@xanga - Exactly. If you're gonna be committed in marriage, then you've gotta start by being committed while dating.
@Katseye4pirates@xanga - I completely agree!
@rageforlove - i agree with both of you
I think the bachelor/bachelorette parties are just an excuse to be stupid.
yeah, i had been confused about those before, too. i was thinking, "soo, they get permission to cheat on their wife/husband before they get married to them?" ha, i've never understood how that would help the marriage at all.
@twoyellowsunglasses@xanga - Oh trust me, it will do nothing positive for the relationship, the relationship may still start off great but down the road it will not be so good. Why start a marriage off and such a negative level when you could start it at a good one?
mm.. honestly, i don't think i'll let my future husband have a bachelor's party. i know it sounds selfish and insecure of me lol, but whatever, waste of money and it's just stupid! why would i want my man around a bunch of strippers and get drunk lol. the last thing i need is my fiance crying to me, that he slept with some hoe cause he was super drunk lol. it's a waste of money, and i'm a very jealous girlfriend lol. if he goes, i'm sure i'll bring it up everytime we argue for the rest of our lives lol.
