Would your husband go to dad's night out?

My moms club hosts a monthly moms night out.  Next month there is also a dad's night out- poker at the organizer's house. I thought it might be nice for DH to get some "dad friends" in our area. All our friends live about 45 minutes away. He won't go.

Would your hubby?

    He already has. A bunch of the DH's from my Mom's club get together occasionally.

    I would have to push him and even then he still might not go.  If he knew some of the people there he'd be more likely to go. 

     

    eta: he wouldn't go to a poker night though.

    would my DH go blindly in to a guy's house to play poker with no one else he knew. Hells to the no.

    Would I let him? of course.

    I should add that my DH would not go to a night out poker thing though. It's really not his "thing".

    No way.  My husband isn't super social to begin with, except with his close friends.  He would have no interest in making new friends with a bunch of somewhat random dudes.

    I think it sounds like a cool idea, but I'd never be able to get him to go.  If all the couples were doing something together, he *may* go to that, but it'd still be iffy.  :)

    Not a chance.  DH doesn't like situations like those.  He has a few friends that he has nothing in common with (except for the fact they've known each other for years) and he rarely even hangs out with them.  He won't meet new people and he hates when I make plans with people he doesn't know/like.

    Just depends on if he knows anyone that will be there and whether he likes them or not.

    Nope. Not his thing at all. I wish it was, but its not.

    ETA: And Especially not poker.

    No way.  I just asked him and he just looked at me and said "what?"

    Not a chance. He is pretty social and has a lot of friends and if he had the chance to have a free night for a social event it definitely wouldn't be this sort of get together.

    Hmmm... DH likes poker and would go if there was beer and he knew and liked one or two guys ...

    Although if it was called "dad's night out" that would be a deal breaker for him.

    Actually, before we had kid and we still lived in Atlanta, DH would go out with the guys to a bar and play in a Texas Hold'em tournament every week.  He won a lot of money that he would give to me to decorate our house. So, I didn't mind him going at all.

    We live in WI now, and he doesn't ever go out cause we haven't made REALLY good friends like that yet.  I hope in the future he finds friends that he likes enough to go out once a week or month.

    Yep and has to a number them. We are in a parenting group (we get together with other couples and their babies every other Sunday for dinner).

    Probably not, since he has only met the husband of my friend who I run the moms group with once and would otherwise not know anyone.  Besides, his friends get together occasionally to play poker, so if he wanted to play, he could just shoot an email to a bunch of his friends and I'm sure he could get a game together with no problem.

    Although, we had our book club meeting tonight (with the moms group I run) and one of the women mentioned us doing a couples night.  I think my husband would go to that.

    He's met most of them before at the "family events" my moms club hosts so they're not all strangers. He just doesn't know them very well.

    How do your husbands meet local friends?

    No way.  He has a lot of friends and is mostly a homebody at night so I'm sure he wouldn't want to hang with a bunch of guys he doesn't know.  He will meet with my mom friends and their husbands but usually doesn't hit it off with the dads.  I think our of my 10 mom friends he likes 3 of their hubbys.  Its hard to find a couple where the kids play nice and the moms and dads get along too.
