Dear Bro,
What’s the Bro’s Code opinion on “Mancations”? In case you haven’t heard the term, it’s when a group of guys go away together with no wives or kids. Do you think they are acceptable and fun or too bromantic?
Curious of the Bro’s stance on this.
Sincerely,
-Simon
I’m really not familiar with the term “Mancation”, but let me make sure I have this straight. It’s a vacation (and by definition a vacation is an out of town non-work experience lasting a minimum of 3 days and a maximum of 16 days) where you get to hang out with some if not all of your guy friends. There are no significant others. There are no children. There are no ties to the world you have left behind. My guess is that there is a lot of bar activity (in the form of drinking), sports, potential for gambling (be it a nearby casino, in-house poker, or make up your own while sitting on the couch watching sports), great food (be it fine dining or a fired up grill), some kind of night activity (either more gambling, or entertainment of some sort, most likely more bar visits), and just basically the all around freedom to do whatever the hell you want, because even if the guys you’re with don’t want to do that, they’re going to let you go do whatever the hell you want and not give you shit for not spending more “quality” time with the group. I think that about sums up the Mancation experience, in my opinion anyway.
I’m sorry Simon, was this a rhetorical question?
