Bachelor Parties vs. Bachelorette Parties: We Are Not the Same

About this episode

The episode discusses the differences in planning bachelor and bachelorette parties, addresses listener questions about costs and boundaries, and shares a success story about dating during a difficult time.

Jake's heading to Fort Lauderdale for a bachelor party with zero itinerary and a plan that's basically "watch the Knicks, find a Chili's." We kick things off comparing how differently men and women plan these trips, and it's not even close. We tackle a listener question about bachelorette party costs spiraling out of control and how to set a boundary without being labeled unsupportive. Then, A listener wrote back about last week's question on dating while your mom is dying — she kept dating, met someone who'd lost his own parent, and they're now getting engaged so her mom can be there.
