I ditched out on something like that about a month ago with my girlfriend. She said "but you're invited" and I just looked at her. Then she said "you're not going, are you", and I just looked at her. They she made her way to the door to leave, and I poured myself a nice drink.

They appear to be pretty common today. If you ask me, it's a lot to ask of a man to sit through that BS.
 I had to go to one, but that was only because it was for my wife.  |

hey, now we had one when my wife was pregnant. but, because of me, it was basically a big bbq with a fire and complete with much beer. the only difference was that in one corner of the yard there was a picnic table with presents and couple balloons. all the guys just stood over on one side and bullshitted drinkin beer. it was alright. had a couple friends get good and drunk. if you do it like that-it ain't too bad. i just had to go over when it was "time to open presents" and help the wifey open presents in front of everyone. that was the most brutal part. i survived.

Men have no place at a baby shower. If men are present it means we can't talk about them.
You all know women talk about you, right?

I think it's fine, as long as the activities are also co-ed. That is, if they think I'm gonna sit around watching a bunch of cooing women open "darling" little presents, they are sadly mistaken. I want red meat, beer, cigars, and something manly and entertaining. For example, a gun collection to play with, or a John Wayne movie marathon, or a barbecue pit roiling with smoke. If my wife (or somebody elses' wife) expects me to play some lame game with lace and doilies and pastel colors on it, I'm gone. So in other words, my approval of said activity is only theoretical, since no baby shower in the history of baby showers has ever unfolded this way.
If you do attend a baby shower that is beer-, gun-, or John Wayne-free, then you have no balls. PS Why do women ask us to do this stuff? Do they think we'll enjoy it? I don't ask my wife to go hunting with me for a week, with no showering and cold treestands and profane stories swapped with my buddies in front of the fire. I know she'd hate it, so I don't bother. But for some reason they want us involved in their lame feminine crap. I guess my wife knows better, but many of my buddies' wives don't. |

It's gay, period.
It's a blatant attempt be women to cut off our balls. Set up a different room with "cigars and scotch". Play cards, fill the room with smoke. It will keep the women out. If it's outdoors, you know the drill. Beer, grill, meats. |

I've been to a few of these co-ed baby showers.
My group of friends includes some pretty hi testosterone guys so it typically ends up w/ all the tuna in 1 room doing there thing and us guys drinking / playing poker in the other. In our group it's just a another reason for a BBQ w/ the exception BYOB ( bring your own babygift ). As long as the guys are in control of what goes on its all good times. Would I sit next to my gf for a couple hours listening to a bunch of women talk baby this & baby that ..... NO. |

All the cool metrosexuals are going to these things nowadays. Have fun with all the other ball-less males.
 or....retain your manhood and tell her to pound sand and go to the gun range/saloon/ballgame/titty bar with your buddies.

We had one at our house for a friend of my wife. Disaster. Couples showed up with their kids and proceeded to turn them loose in our house. No supervision of the kids at all by any of the parents. So I had to follow the kids around, take away knives they were extracting from our kitchen drawers etc. One kid kept poking my dog in the eye until my dog finally bit him.

I'm the best man in my buddy's wedding this summer, and my mom went to the shower (non-coed, btw) today. She asked me to check their registries on the interweb to see what was left, and she got angry when I suggested she pick up the DeWalt sawz-all from Sears

My wife just read this thread and does not see the light, She can clearly see that most men might object , at least here at arfcom.
She just walked in and rattled off this retort, "Real men with balls can do a selfless act like go with their wife to a party. There will be challenging skill games like a carnival dart/ballon game, A fulll size arcade (MAME) cabinet, a baby tossing contest, baby races, and baby bottles with alcohol game. They should quit whining and go make their own fun in the corner. It's only 3 hours for christssake." Then she came out and said "Don't reply to that bunch of ninnies.  "I'm sending the father this thread link so maybe I can convince him to go to the range with the other men and I at least for an hour, my treat. I think that would go a long way to allevate teh ghey. |

The only thing "co-ed" about a baby shower should be when the baby is male.
What's next, inviting the fiancee to the bachelor party?

My wife also wanted to make clear that the majority if not close to all of the gifts would be for the baby, not for the parents.
I misunderstood her. |
