Working in Corporate America I've seen CEOs hold board meetings at strip clubs. Enjoy the show, or leave. The only thing I would suggest it to have some other activity going on at the same time so the people that don't want to see the strippers have some other activity they can do during the show. | ||

Firstly, the official event, where parents and faculty were present, was early in the night - between 6 and 10. The afterparty, which was not a school function and was at a completely different location, went late into the night - people who had no intention of getting ratshit drunk and parting hard had already left by then. Second, it seems there is a significant cultural difference between Australia and USA (where I imagine most posters come from). Australia, having a much smaller population than America, doesn't see as much interstate college transfer following high school - most people just go to the college thats closest to them. This means that most of the guys went to one of a handful of Universities that are all close to each other after school finished. So following high school, we all stayed close friends. In fact, we thought it was fairly ironic that we were even having a 5 year high school reunion in the first place, because (with few exceptions), these are all the guys that we hang out with, go to the beach with, go drinking with, etc on a weekly basis. We are all a tight group of mates. I guess the point that I'm trying to communicate is that it was all a bunch of mates who are all regular drinking buddies were just having a good night. This added to the festivities rather than detracting from them. The guy who posted on facebook is being a massive pussy. My $0.02 | ||

My $0.02 Even if I was with my regular drinking buddies having a good night I would not be comfortable at all with strippers unexpectedly showing up, especially if one of my friends decided to get naked too. It seems unfair for you to call this guy a "massive pussy" for that. Unless I'm missing something? Do you always have strippers come when you hang out with your friends? Did everyone at the party know the strippers were coming? (This would at least give them a chance to leave, but they might still feel—rightfully—put off.) The reason I think this was inappropriate is that it sounds like not everyone at the event "signed up" to go watch strippers or your naked friend. If everyone had agreed or knew that's what the night would be like, then there would be no basis to object. But as the story sounds right now, it could be that you (Red Dust) and your closer friends decided to hijack a larger party for your unique satisfaction, and that left people who weren't into strippers or not extremely tight with you feeling alienated. | ||

Do you always have strippers come when you hang out with your friends? What if he does? What if 99% of the people there (excluding this guy) were not offended by the stripper, would it be reasonable to consider it inappropriate because one person was supposedly offended (yet still took part)? This is kind of a pointless discussion to have really, there can be no consensus when not everyone is comfortable with things like this.. You can only decide what would be appropriate for a specific group of people (that you are familiar with) at a specific event.. The naked dude is pretty strange though. | ||

First off: swag to the maximum. Well, I'd guess that the guy who sent that message didn't really "take part" in the strippers' show. And yeah, I do think that even if everyone else at this event was into strippers coming, it would be rude to invite them if that would force this one guy to either leave or feel uncomfortable. Having the strippers was not fair to this guy, who came to the event expecting just to have some regular drunk fun with old high school friends. Edit: all the posts about how this guy must be gay are hilarious. For my sanity I'm just going to assume that everyone posting that is under 12 years old. | ||

Have you people never watched The Sopranos??? Strip Clubs are a natural place to do business, relax, drink... your class pres was so concerned with you guys having fun that he brought the titty bar TO YOU. YOU FUCKING INGRATES. Jesus christ TL. This thread disappoints me so. John Wayne said to never trust a man who doesn't drink. This also goes for men who don't enjoy strippers. | ||

And yeah, I believe it's safe to assume that the majority of TL population right now consists of people still in their teens for whom strippers still sound as something awesome (I think that any form of titty flashing was awesome at that age, but it's hard to remember). | ||

I suppose the point I was trying to emphasise is that this was so deep in the night (~1130pm, where the official function at the school itself ended hours earlier) that it was no longer a reunion in the normal sense - it was a bunch of mates who were off chops and rowdy (thus the naked dude - he was just partying harder than most  ). There had already been opportunities to catch up and chit chat for hours, and the after-party itself was coming to an end. Immediately following the strip show everybody left and went out clubbing. It's not like the strip show was sprung on a sober audience at 8pm, it was at the very end of the reunion. Those who decided to leave only missed the strip show and then everybody leaving. | ||

I think about 3 left, and the rest form an intimidating semi circle. one guy was naked the entire time (pre and post strippers) for no reason at all... and to those wondering what type of guy he was: vice school captain, prefect, nice guy, did well at school, but bit of a clown yes. Afterward we went to a close by pub/nightclub. Not as big of a deal then infact, I give it my seal of approval Stippers are only fun with alcohol involved. Youd be surprised how many guys are afraid of them though. | ||
