Guys, been invited on a stag do in Magaluf. What's it like? Bunch of 30 year olds going. I'm getting the feeling we'll be out of place and it's the best man trying to re live his youth and he's going to be disappointed.

Anyone of a similar age been out there recently?

Never been.
But, it sounds horrible.

The last few stag does I've been to have been mostly about old friends catching up with each other and chatting.

Most people are in a relationship so nobody is on the pull.
Without any girls around none of the blokes want to dance - so we all sit at the back of a club complaining about the noise until we go and find a quiet bar somewhere for a chat.

Meanwhile one or two people desperately try and make us all 18 again by buying shots of tequila mixed with baileys and saying we should go back to the club and hit on the girls.

Stag do's after 35 should include a bit of clay shooting, a decent meal and some decent beer to drink while remembering the good old days.
Possibly ending up with a short stint in some sort of club until you all decide you've had enough. smile

I went last year with my best friends.

They are both married.
I am not.

I am 37, they are 35 and 33

They live in Blackpool, I am based in Dubai but go home to Blackpool once a year.

It was THE best week I have had in a long time.

None stop drinking, catching up and watching the younger girls and lads try and pull. Brilliant for people watching and cheap booze.

We loved it smile

Go with no preconceptions and just have a good time

I'm 19 and it sounds ace to me hehe

I don't see the problem, I thought the point of stags was to go out and have beers? Perfect place to do it!

Be aware there is a very real issue in Magalluf with African girls who purport to be prostitutes but actually gang mug drunken blokes as they stagger back to their hotels, they are absolute animals and have male backup lurking if things get nasty. This problem only happens from around 11pm at night onwards so you can be blissfully unaware as during the day things are fine. Do not underestimate how bad this situation has got...

I'm 32 this year and off to the north of Mallorca (almost as far away as you can get from Magaluf) with the other half Sunday for a nice relaxing break.

My younger cousins (19 and 24) are off to Magaluf on the 2nd July to no doubt get p*ssed and sun burnt in equal measure, whilst chasing skirt around from the moment they arrive.

The only thing I actually have planned for the duration of my holiday is to meet up with them for an evening I probably won't remember and never want to repeat...but I can't wait!

Just because you're over 30 doesn't mean you can't appreciate some old school fun!

Havnt been to Magaluf in years, but i had a great time when i was there
it will all be down to your own character and the friends in your group

i have quite lively friends, and the age range spans from early 20's to those knocking on the door of 40
and in terms of the group its the younger ones who cringe at the antics of the older ones
so go and have fun, it has enough variety to cater for all types of people

personally, lads weekends are for getting away and catching up. if that means perving at the women etc, so be it
as when im at home life is fairly steady and boring lol

Me and the lads went when we were 30 and surprise we were well and truly to old that was 13 years ago. Saying that just booked to go Ibiza for the weekend. Just go you will enjoy it. Avoid the big concrete balls on the pavement my mate fell off of one and broke his ankle.lol
