Boys Only Weekends By Mike Mitchell At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Men are gradually discovering what women have known for a long time – sharing a weekend exclusively with your great buddies is a trip everyone should make. When it comes to enjoying a night off or getting together for the weekend, women are the experts. They know where to go, what to do, how much to spend and whom to go with. But nowadays men are catching up on this with the obvious emergence of the male-bonding phenomena. The so-called boys-only weekend has been around for a very long time but it is only now that the male species is discovering other activities aside from poker nights and grabbing a pint at the nearest pub. If you are a guy and reading this and your only male-bonding activities are the ones I have mentioned above, you sure need to read this. Here are some alternatives to the usual Las Vegas weekends:

Hit the beach. Yes! Nothing beats this age-old tradition of being on the sand with your closest buddies. Play some beachy music and simply bum around while catching a good tan. Bring your surf boards too so you can rides the waves with the boys. At night, make a bonfire while someone plays the guitar and everyone sings songs that remind you of the many yesterdays you shared together. Cheesy but fun.

Get into team sports. Good friends are good allies. To put this to the test, get into team sports with your mates. There are tons of team sports to choose from but it would be exciting to try something new like paintball. Paintball is a war simulation game that has its players carrying air guns (markers) filled with pellets (paintballs) and played in battle arena. The objective of the game is to eliminate your team opponent and /or capture their base. This is done by carefully planning out your team's strategy in order to one by one take them down. A character-building sport, paintball is a good group exercise to develop teamwork. Plus, points for this sport because you will be required to wear combat gears making the war simulation experience complete.

Culture up! Who says men can't get into the arts and literature? The best way to prove this wrong is to do it in groups. Create a book club and read about the struggles of men and women for power or just even a chic lit book to understand the female species better. Go to museums and admire the works of the masters, from paintings to sculptures and to various art artifacts. A cultured man is an impressive one.

Discover the world through travel. Our planet is teeming with undiscovered destinations waiting to be explored. Grab your passport and hop to Maldives, Palawan or even Bangkok to catch a glimpse of it's exotic offerings and culture. But don't forget your best travel accessory – your travel buddy. Foreign places are the best enjoyed with familiar faces.

These are my top five picks for that ultimate boys-only weekend every man should have. Use this as a guide for your next get-away, but follow that age-old mantra: boys will be boys.
