Question

My fiancé of 3+ years is planning a vacation with his buddies/co-workers to Atlantic City. I asked if I could come along, since we had been talking about planning a similar trip. When he said it was an all-guys trip, I brushed it off until he mentioned that a woman, who happens to be a lesbian, is also attending. This raised a flag to me because I instinctively know what this means: strip clubs. When I asked why she was allowed to go, his response was, “Well, she’s not gonna mind if I have [ice cream cones] in my face.”

Now I know that it is in every man’s DNA to want to see a naked woman, but I can’t help but be bothered by this. I am not sure if it’s because we were trying to plan a trip like this for the two of us and now he’s decided to go with his male friends, or if I’m just bothered that his sole purpose for going is for a strip club.

Regardless, I am bothered by the fact that his whole weekend will be spent blowing money at strip clubs — money that we’re trying desperately to save for a house and a wedding. I never thought of myself as a jealous person, but now that I am faced with this issue, I am beginning to think that’s exactly what I am.

It’s not that I think he’s going to cheat, but cheating for a male means different things than for a female. If I knew that he was [looking at ice cream cones] and was very [close to sampling ice cream cones], I would be extremely upset. The counter-argument I brought up was, “If you found out I had my hands or face in some guy’s [ice cream cones], you would be upset too.”

Knowing that men go to strip clubs to see beautifully-sculpted naked women (and pay them to be their eye candy) makes me resentful that he isn’t satisfied with what he has at home. I will give myself credit and say that I am a stunning young woman, who could stand to lose a few pounds, but nevertheless I am very good-looking and like to make my man happy.

Is this irrational? Am I crazy to get so upset by this, and do I just have to let it go?

Hoss Goldstein’s Answer

A: I get a lot of letters from people who want to know how I feel about strip clubs, and, well, my answer is too complicated to stick into a simple Q&A.

But I can tell you that the people who write in about strip club issues often have other big problems in their relationships. If your guy was doing a good job of saving money for the wedding, would you be as upset about this trip? If he gave a more respectful, loving answer to your question about the vacation, would you be so focused on the strip club? Are you really jealous about what he’ll do with these women — or is this about your fiancé’s priorities?

My advice is to take the strip club thing off the table so that you can clear your head. Think (and talk) about the stuff that bothers you on a daily basis. Those are the issues that are worth your attention. And feel free to tell him how you define cheating. He should be open to (and expect) that kind of conversation before this trip.

Readers? Thoughts on strip clubs and cheating? Is this really about the strip club? Am I wrong to say that she’d be more comfortable with the trip if he were better on a day-to-day basis? Discuss.

I’m not even going to bash Hoss on this one because she really didn’t say anything.  She just kind of  said think about why your husband getting ice cream cones smashed in his face (yes I’m stealing that phrase) pisses you off.   But since she didn’t offer any advice so I will…

El Pres Answer

Dear ConfusedAboutMen, Medford

First of all I think you got bigger problems than strip clubs if Atlantic City is where you two were planning on going on a romantic vacation too.   AC is dump.  What chick wants to go there? Now as far as the rest of it goes this is going to be a complicated answer.  Yes you have every right to be mad that your boyfriend is going to strip clubs in AC.   Because guys don’t just go to strip clubs to get ice cream cones smashed in our faces.  We are going to try to fuck the strippers, get blowjobs and basically do as much as we can do without getting arrested  and we won’t consider it cheating.    Makes no sense but that’s how it goes.   It doesn’t mean we don’t love you or want to marry a stripper.  We just need to have foreign pussy every once in awhile to keep our sanity.  So unless you want to grow old by yourself you just have to accept that this is what guys do.  Kind of like how I just have to accept the First Lady likes to vacuum when I’m watching TV.   It infuriates me but I just got to live with it.  It’s the trade off you make in a relationship.  And as far as your comparison of whether your boyfriend would be mad if you went to a male strip club that’s apples and oranges.  There are two huge differences.  First male strippers want to fuck all the chicks.    Chick strippers just want your money and not your dick.   Second males shoot loads.  Way more graphic.

Hands down the funniest moment of the Barstool Blackout tour so far. You can take all the chicks making out and all the ass shaking and all the dance floor orgies and shove it. Feitelberg getting lost in a cloud of CO2 and disappearing into depths of the Blackout crowd is the best thing to come from this tour. Just froggin around that stage, ribbit ribbit, having a grand old time. Next thing you know kid is in the belly of the beast getting his face stomped on.

Get up Frog! We don’t have time to catch your ass! We’re trying to Blackout.

PS – I’m pretty sure we use our CO2 cannons in the most dangerous and irresponsible manner possible. Now you see him:

Now you don’t:

Eric Wilbur on Boston.com – To the hundreds that have demanded my immediate dismissal, the fan who hoped I got clipped by the Green Line, and even the Neanderthal who wished cancer upon me, I issue a mea culpa. Clearly, I never intended Sunday night’s column, written in the immediate aftermath of the Patriots’ loss in Super Bowl XLVI, to garner quite the widespread attention – and negativity – it happened to find over the course of the next 24 hours. Despite what has been theorized out there in various circles, it was not premeditated, nor was it a “joke post.” It wasn’t a sparkling display by any means either. As I’ve tried to convey, perhaps with illustrious failure, the over-the-top tone of the piece was intentional, meant to convey the frustration that Patriots fans had to be feeling after the crushing loss to the Giants… It backfired. Tremendously.

Allow me to translate for you: “At the end of Agony Bowl II I saw an opening to pounce on Tom Brady and carry out a vendetta over some personal beef I have with him in an insane, over-the-top rant that made no sense to anyone but me.  It blew up in face like a cartoon cigar and now here I am scrambling to claim I didn’t mean any of it in order to save what shred of dignity I have left.  Please forget I ever said anything.”

This is just Exhibit 175 in the case I’ve been making that much of the media in this town hasn’t the first goddamned clue about how their target audience is.  To borrow a phrase from Patton, the bilious bastards who wrote that stuff don’t know anything more about real Boston fans than they do about fornicating.  So many media figures in this market are so caught up in personal agendas, hard feelings, friendships and business deals with the people they cover they’ve lost all connection to the fans.  And have no idea what we think or how we feel about anything, particularly the Patriots.  I mean, listen to the contempt in the voice of some of these radio guys when they imitate us.  Callahan does that nasally “If you say anything negative about the Patriots then yerrrr a haaataaaahhhh!“  Tony Mazz does that insulting slow-talking retard voice “Yeeeaah, Mike.  Remembah, theeeah wickid awesooommme…“  That’s how we end up with Shaughnessy on Opening Day of ’08 saying we all think the Sox will go 162-0 and sweep the playoffs.  After making a career of saying we always think they’ll choke in the end.  Or how we get yesterday’s dreck out of Eric Wilbur.  And it’s why there’ll always be a Barstool.  A site for real fans written by real fans.  Because the regular media outlets all thing we’re a mindless rabble of reactionary morons instead of an informed, loyal-but-reasonable fanbase that’s disappointed by a close loss but know we’ve got the best organization and the best quarterback we could ever hope for.  It’s just a goddamned shame so many of the guys who cover the team aren’t nearly as good.  @JerryThornton1

What in the fuck is this?   Some company called Pawngo dropping 900 lbs (literally) of Butterfingers in Copley Square today making fun of Wes Welker?    Do they think that’s funny?     I mean great publicity stunt.  Now everybody in New England hates your ass and hopes you die.   Bravo.   Bravo.    Oh by the way here is Pawngo’s contact info….

BCHeights - Although it is most certainly not ideal, it is often men who have power in our world, and even more so men who have a following as large as yours. You have an obligation to model proper behavior to those who read your blog.

Listen the feminists have said lots of wacky things about us the last couple weeks. We had KO Barstool carrying signs that said “Disarm the police, arm the feminists” whatever that means and shit like that. Things that were so far out in left field you just had to sit back and laugh at them. But this kid may top it all. I have a moral obligation to model proper behavior because a lot of people read Barstool? What am I Charles Barkley or something? Seriously I don’t even know how to respond to these nutbags anymore? Like imagine using this logic with every TV show, comedian, movie and entertainer in the country? Everything would just be rated G and we could hold hands and sing Kumbaya together. It’s wild, wild shit. Seriously these fucking people are so far off the reservation it’s not even funny. I honestly don’t even think they know what they are protesting or complaining about anymore.  You want me to be a role model?  You want some advice?  Fine here it is.  College is too short to waste your time being a killjoy.  Just protesting shit to protest shit. Loosen up and fuck a broad. You may enjoy it. That’s me being a role model.

Ummmm yea, that’ll do. Natalia Velez is a Colombian model who was in the GoDaddy commercial for the Super Bowl just promoting the shit out of rape culture. And that’s pretty much all I got. I’m fucking speechless looking at these pictures.

Yahoo – On Sunday night, while his New York Giants teammates were celebrating winning a ring, linebacker Greg Jones was giving one away. The rookie took to a knee on the field at Lucas Oil Stadium after his team’s victory in Super Bowl XLVI and proposed to his college sweetheart, Amanda. Confetti was still falling from the rafters when Jones’ girlfriend accepted.”She was bawling,” Jones told NJ.com on Monday morning. “I was like, ‘I don’t know how long she’s going to keep crying.’”Practice squad tight end Christian Hopkins held the ring during the game, then gave it to Jones after Tom Brady’s Hail Mary fell incomplete. Had Rob Gronkowski caught that ball, Jones said he would have waited until another time to propose.The couple met each other at Michigan State. Jones starred on the football team, while his future bride played basketball.

Oh man.  This brought a smile to my face.  Seriously how mad is Greg Jones mother at this proposal?   So pissed.   Love it.   At least somebody else besides us got their night ruined.   Honkey bitches ruin everything.

This one is a tough one to defend. I ripped Papelbon and Varitek for popping bottles in the North End after the Sox got eliminated by Baltimore. This one is 100 times worse. I mean really guys? The game hasn’t even been over ten seconds and every Patriots fan just had their heart ripped out of their lungs and you guys are on stage dancing shirtless?  We got enough shit to deal with right now without adding this to the mix.  Horrible, horrible look. Yeah I know Gronk Yo Soy Fiesta.  I know he just wants to get pussy, but this was dumb. Especially since he was such a non factor with his ankle injury.   There is a time and a place for everything.   This clearly wasn’t it.  He should have just had his bros bring some bitches back to his hotel room for him. But dancing shirtless on stage with Matt Light and LMFAO just makes it seem like you really don’t give a fuck. First bad move Gronk has made since he’s been here. Matt Light should flat know better. Kind of makes me want to puke.

PS – Imagine if Lebron did this after losing Game 7 to Dallas?  I’d still be talking about it.
