We've all been to either bachelor or bachelorette parties, and we are accustomed to seeing flesh. It seems like most of them have to do with strippers or exotic dancers. And, yes, the future spouse is embarrassed by the dancer who calls attention to the future bride/groom in front of the whole locale.
I couldn't picture a bunch of guys getting together for a "quiet dinner." Nor would I expect a bunch of girls to get together for a gift exchange or Avon party.
I've heard that, in some cases, the future spouse has a "last fling." Wow. That's an eye-opener, but nothing surprises me.
Of the "controversial" wedding where I was the best man, both the bride and the MIL expressed their displeasure that I took the groomsmen to a strip show. There was no contact, except maybe a congratulatory hug from the dancing bunny up there.
I've been to a bunch of bachelorette parties - including 2 of my own - none of them involved seeing flesh. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Please vote.
In LA, MANY MANY MANYnew brides to be went to Chippendale's. And we'd all hear about it the next day. Maybe you can't relate to middle-class folks, but it WAS reality.
I've been to a lot of bachelorette parties. Most of them involve a lot of shots perhaps, but we've never had a stripper -- well there was this one guy we met at the bar for my friend's b-party who kept trying to get naked, but none of us actually wanted him to haha!
I've been to strip clubs before and I have no major issue with them -- if SO wanted to go to one for his bachelor party I wouldn't care, but he says he wants to go to the shooting range instead. If they do go to a strip club I'd imagine he'd be pretty uncomfortable given that one of his groomsmen is his uncle and two more are my brothers.
The point here though is that pre-bachelor/bachelorette party the couple should sit down and talk about what they're OK with and not OK with. If your friend's fiancee didn't want him to go to a strip club they should have talked about it prior to it happening instead of being mad about it later. If they did do this and he went anyway then her anger was misplaced -- she had a fiance problem, not a best man problem.
Male strippers are kind of gross, anyway. Not many women I know want some glittered and oiled up dude flapping his junk in our faces. It's not at all sexy, and it's barely even funny.
For the wedding I'm in later this summer, I think we're going to do dinner and drinks for my friend's "hen night." The notion of a stripper never came up. I think her fiance and his buds are either going golfing or to a shooting range, so no stripper for them, either.

Sounds very Midwestern and all-American. All of it.
BTW, I don't think that all of the women's places flap junk. Nor do they do the glitter or oil. I think they wear a Speedo or something like that. In many jurisdictions, nudity is illegal. A lot of girls with "big hair" did the Chippendale's thing. Nobody thought any less of them.
A strange man's penis, even when swaddled in a speedo, doesn't do much for me.
