I don't even drink. Drinking or getting dronk is never an incentive for me to go somewhere LOL.
Yea I think of a bunch of pink and light blue, women screaming, sharing stories, gift wrap. Gossiping. Those are the mental images I get when I think of a BS.
Just because it is 2010 doesn't mean I am wrong for not being open to things traditionally set aside for females. I told you, I want to hold on to my manhood at all costs.
I won't be missed. I am not "not supporting" my girl because I am not there. That is HER time to be with HER folks.

The baby shower is for the woman. Don't flip it and make it seem as though I am disrespecting my child by not going.
I believe men have no place at baby showers.
So if you want to make it out to be me not supporting "my seed" then I guess that is what you can interpret from me not being there.
I don't view it as that. I just don't want to be around a large amount of estrogen levels. Not my cup of tea.
The same way I wouldn't want to go on the set of Wendy Williams or Oprah

Woah, I'm not flipping anything as disrespecting your seed. I agree with you 100%. I feel like I'm not being clear. I did not want to go to my own gf's baby shower and did not enjoy being there for one second. I was just saying good luck telling your girl all that ^.

Any woman I deal with understand and know my mentality when it comes to gender roles/activities that are acceptable. So I am sure it won't be an issue. I won't budge, I won't be there. I don't care if she cries about it or not.
LOL My fault, I thought you were coming at me. LOL
What went on at your girls BS? How many other dudes were there?

Im wit you on being against men throwing a baby shower.
But how you gon say you wouldnt go to one unless you were dragged to it. The conventional idea of baby showers is out the window. Its no longer estrogen filled people opening baby gifts. I been to many baby showers and it really is no different than any other party where people get drunk and have sex in the bathrooms.

haha yea I hate when people throw out that you're close minded just because you don't like certain things. GTFOHWTSOriginally Posted by J23S
I'm with you one on this. Its seems like the world has become so sensitive to certain topics and if we oppose them we are close minded.
Just imagine what 2030 will look like

Some of her childhood male friends were there, I don't know why. But it was her mom her aunts and their kids. Like 20 kids between the ages of 1-13 were there (my nightmare, seriously). As I said before, only one of my boys showed up because he was dragged there with his gf. There were some weird games that I avoided and then she sat in this throne looking chair and got presents on top of presents while I had to sit next to her on some kid chair and act like I knew all these spanish people. However, feigning happiness was no problem because here's something about baby showers I somehow never realized. It is a cash cow of presents. We must've gotten over $3000 worth of baby clothes, diapers, toys, you name it. Even the duplicate gifts we could return to Baby's R Us and got like a $600 gift card that we used to buy other stuff. Still awful though.

So DC, if/when you get married/have children, you're not attending your wife's baby shower? Even if other guys are in attendance?

LOL. Just because others have their balls cut off doesn't mean I have to join them. Other men being there doesn't make me WANT to go any more or not go any less.
I am NOT going to show up. Point blank.
Don't care if I was married to the other of Jesus, I wouldn't go.

DC if I could've skipped out without hearing lip from half the country of DR, then I would've. But again, good luck bringing up logical points on how the man doesn't have to be there, and having a pregnant woman be practical, reasonable, and understanding of the male point of view.

I wouldn't want to go because its boring. Unless all of my friends will be there as well, then it will be two separate parties. But both under the baby shower umbrella though, I guess.

Yeah thytkerjebbers, just because other dudes are open minded, it does not mean that DC is open minded and secure in his masculinity.
Who knows what kind of cooties those pregnant women may have.

I have 2 boys, so my wife has had 2 baby showers, and I didn't attend either one and heard nothing from her about it.
There was no other guys there either time, and I honestly had no clue any guy has ever went to one.

I went to the shower for my daughter.
In all honesty I went for the food
My kids mom told me to bring a friend or two because if not, I would be beyond bored. We ended up blowin a L, talking about my impending fatherhood, and playing Modern Warfare.
And it was all catered

Not an excuse to be there. Women are everywhere. I am too old to be motivated by the "girls are there" trump card. Women are everywhere. Many of them. Don't give a damn if girls are there
