::nods:: I'd be a bit more sympathetic if the friend, male or female, was just a known ass with a tendency to trash talk her or the like. Similarly, if she actually wanted to go I'd but couldn't that would be a bit different. But it seems like she doesn't know the groom that well and she doesn't really want to go anyways, so eh...

If I ever have some sorta bachelors party it would probably just be paint-ball or something. Females would be welcome, although I'd encourage them not to go for crouch shots, unlike a certain individual the last time I went paintballing (In fairness, that was probably just a coincidence, not like any of us were good shots). :P
