You guys go and have a good time and don't let anyone make you feel unwanted .We are all there for the same reason.To have fun and party our ass off. This will be our 3rd trip to TTR and I understand the concern that some people have due to the behavior of some groups of singles in the past but there are always bad apples and it's not right to label everyone as trouble just because they are singles.
We just returned from our 1st(but not last) visit to TTR and there were 2 groups of solo guys there. I'll call them solo because I don't know if they were actually single. One group of about 10 were very fun and caused no problems. They posed in the hot tub with me (Christina) because I asked them to for a fun picture. I was wearing only a tiny bikini bottom and there was no inappropriate touching or comments (unfortunately, though I tried) LOL! JK! Seriously though they were really good about it and indulged me. There was another group of about 8 guys who were loud and really made asses of themselves. From what we experienced this trip it's really hit or miss and having a group of guys does not always mean trouble. Quite frankly, I have often found that groups of solo women who are drinking and partying can be much worse, they just seem to be tolerated more.
Damn there are some rabid dogs out here... OK, we've all seen large groups of single guys create a problem, and we've all seen large groups of single guys blend right in. This guy came on here and asked what the rules and etiquette was BEFORE he arrived. THAT alone tells me a lot at least about him. If his nine friends are the same, everyone should have a great time. If some are not, and they self police themselves then we're still cool. If he is the ONLY good guy, well we've been going there enough and are tight enough with Security to take care of the problem. I mean really, at any one time we have over 100 people there. If this crowd was 30, then OK, but at 10 I don't see the problem, especially since they asked in advance how they would be welcomed. So Dude.. Post your names and an avatar in the May Roll Call and I'll get you added to the list. When you get there, find me (all the bartenders will know where I am ), and I'll introduce you guys around. And based on your responses up to this point, we'll all have a great time. See you there!

Thank you Sir. I will have to find a picture now, hahaha. Hope to get the meet all you guys once we're there. I joined this forum just to ask a simple question, didn't know i was going to get a chance to make new friends either. Thank you all.
That's the beauty of the forum. We came in Jan and were lost but someone told us about the forum. In April we walked into paty'o's first night and "knew" about a dozen people and had a fantastic time.
I don't think anyone has a problem with a group of guys on a bachelor party. They have a problem with a group of guys ACTING LIKE they are on a bachelor party.
In Jan. part of the (small) problem was drunk girls allowing guys to act like they were at a bachelor party. I think most guys are responsible enough to take a gentle admonishment the right way, even when drunk. Just because a guy may be acting disrespectfully does mean you shouldn't be respectful if you feel the need to talk with him. A little decorum can go a long way.
Throughout my travels for business and pleasure there is one thing that I have learned... there are a-holes everywhere. It doesn't matter if you are in TTR, a bar down the road or at a Hilton in Texas. They come in all shapes, sizes, sex, race and nationality. There is one sure fire way to deal with them in private establishments, let the management take care of them. We have heard of people causing issues at TTR be asked to leave, no refunds and I think there was someone last May that went to jail... Like others have said, be respectful, especially if you are taking pictures. Introduce yourself to others, participate in the games and theme nights. Party, drink and have a good time. Since you are there when we are there, make sure you say hi and we can do a shot in honor of the suc... errr.. lucky bachelor, LOL.
