I'll go out to a sports bar with buddies to watch a football game, but last time me and my buddies did that our wives went out shopping together, and then met up with us later for some drinks - it was fun. If I need to shoot the ish with my buddy I will go out and do something that allows me to talk to him - sitting in a dark bar listening to 95dB music blaring isn't exactly the right place for intelleectual discussion, is it?
What I am saying is that you cannot justify getting decked out and hitting a night on the town with buddies while leaving your wife or g/f at home. Can you honestly tell me that when guys go out and get on the turps and hit up the clubs, that they are talking about their mortgage, what kind of upgrades they're gonna be doing to the house, etc., or are they getting all chauvenistic and are ogling young hotties that are walking around wearing next to nothing and talking about how they would like to bend her over the hood of their Volvo? Come on. You cannot deny it.
And whether you want to admit it/accept it or not...women are the same. And when they drink, it comes out.
