Gender reveals are stupid, and I really do want to know how they got so popular. It's completely pointless.

I sure hope my fiance never wants to do anything like this. Sure I'll attend but don't expect me to pay for anything.

I like these parties. Let's me learn if I'm going to be an aunt or an uncle.

I’ve actually developed a little bit of a different attitude about these types of things


Let me preface that if it was up to me, none of this shite would exist and I’d never have to go


With that said, I’m in my late 20’s so I’ve attended my fair share of shite like engagement parties, couples showers, gender reveals, etc

I realized it’s one of the few times you get all the guys together to drink and shoot the shite. Yeah none of us care at all about the gifts/reasons for the get together....but we end up just spending the entire time outside drinking/smoking cigars while the ladies are inside doing their dumb shite. If none of the guys got along or knew each other then yeah the parties would be pure hell

We had one almost 5 years ago for our first born and didn’t post anything on social media. It was just an excuse to get family and loved ones together and celebrate what’s to come. That said, we didn’t have one for our second child
I will admit though they have gotten a bit out of hand.

OK Debbie Downer.

I went to one a couple of weekends ago for a couple in their early 30s having their first child. What's wrong with a reason to get friends together, have a cookout, enjoy some drinks, and play cornhole and other yard games? So what if they want to take a couple minutes out of the gathering to pop a balloon? It was a good Sunday in my book.

Just another reason to have a party.

Gender Reveal Parties


I first heard this term sometime in the last 10 years, and instinctively thought "I don't want to know what that is". Still don't.

So long as it's free food and premium open bar at Bluejack National Club, I'm game. Now , if it's punch and a cookie, GTFO of here with that lame shite.

Why don't you just do that for no reason? You don't need silly arse reasons to do that.

It’s understandable why young girls/moms and grandmoms to be would want to do this. I am fine with it - as long as its done in the company of other women and gay men.

What I cannot figure out is why any “man” would agree to be a part of this stupidity.

We are failing our boys by allowing society to feminize them. First the gender reveal party and eventually they won’t even know what kind and why their car may be leaking fluid.


Dude it's the women. Men are only there because their pregnant hormonal wife/gf wants them to be there--it's easier to just go than argue against it and have a pissed off woman on your hands for the next few weeks.

Exactly. Do I care or want to go? Hell no. But I really don't care to get in a pointless argument and then not get any for the next week. It's easier to swallow up my pride while I go spend 2 hours drinking beer and posting on TD.

You need to read Pecker's threads. You are exactly the type of person he was sent here to help.

I doubt it, because you let your Pinterest wives dictate your life.
