Its ok, no worries. I didnt mean to single you out in my comment, and didnt mean to offend anyone, i was just explaining the feeling i am getting looking around on this site. Nick
You're right: there is some unwarranted prejudice towards large groups of single males. This isn’t because CCC people are trying to make it a private club, far be that in fact. It’s because of experiences people have had with these types of groups in the past. I know that’s not your problem, and it’s unfair to judge people on others’ behaviour, but people can't help being cautious when 'one bad apple of a group' has ruined their vacation before. It’s like when a stag party turns up at the pub: can’t say they’ll cause trouble, but people are more cautious and wary all the same. Go have fun, get drunk, and enjoy your holiday. It's true that nobody knows you, nobody gives a sh*t. As long as you steer clear of bad behaviour/fighting/disrespecting women etc. you’ll fit in and have a good time. I still stand by advising to look out for your other mates. You may not want to 'babysit' your friends, but if they cause trouble, that may equal trouble for you too. I’d say that’s good advice for anybody going, not just groups. My friends look out for me, and I them, in the same way!
I've seen groups like yours make everyone's trip miserable and I've also seen groups like yours have a great time and get along with everyone. Like many others have said - have respect for other people and understand that some may feel threatened by a large group of guys congregating and being rowdy in a bunch around the bar, etc.. Try to be aware of that. The biggest thing for me is if someone in your group acts like an asshole - you take care of it yourselves. Don't make security or people outside your group step in to deal with it - that's when real trouble starts. Good luck - how it works out for you guys is pretty much up to your group. Most people will be cool with it unless one of you screws it up for everybody. I hope it goes well since we will be there for a couple of those days. Firm
There was a larger-ish group of single guys when we were down there last, and actually, we had a great time with them. As long as your group is respectful (which from your posts, it sounds like you will be), I think you will be fine and have an awesome time. I, personally, have nothing against single guys being down there, but then again, I have never been down there during a complete sausage fest, either. Oh, and post a Trip Report when you get back so we can know how it went! Cheers!
Trish, yep i understand peoples concerns. We are a respectfull group and ill probably be the first to tell someone to fix up if they are getting out of hand anyway. Cheers AFrench12, yeah i will post one up when i get back, from the singles point of view of things! Im sure it will be a holiday to remember!
It doesn't have to be large groups that cause issues. We had a problem with just guy ladt trip but a blast with his friends. Melissa stopped me at the buffet the next morning before I had a sober discussion with him(I got the Darin Keith talk from across the room. never good when she uses the middle name) You guys are on here asking ahead of time and I think that is great. You will have a good time, enjoy yourselves.
I have been to the resort 9 times as part of a married couple, this will be my first Time single, and do know a few people going at the same time as u and I. We have had times were singles guys have been great and other times when they have been I obnoxious and disrespectful. You sound like a very polite and respectful guy, just go and have fun and don't let the negative comments bother you too much, everyone deserves a chance and not to be judged before they have even gone on their vacation.
