Hey guys, would you go on a mancation?


Matthew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong like to spend a lot of time together, which has turned a few heads. Do guys … do that? “They think we’re these overgrown frat guys, but we all have those kinds of relationships,” Armstrong recently told the press. “And ‘relationship’ isn’t a bad word. I mean, we all have buds, we all take guy trips.”

They’re called “[tag]mancations[/tag],” and McConaughey and Armstrong might look into trying one just northwest of their hometown, Austin, at Horseshoe Bay, a luxury resort alongside Lake LBJ, which has a private jet center, three championship golf courses, a full-service marina, a cigar-smoking Yacht Club, 12 tennis courts, three pools, three restaurants and a 349-room Marriott.

Think of mancations as a “guys’ night out,” only instead of taking a cab downtown, you take a jet cross-country. Or imagine a bachelor party where nobody has the buzzkill of impending marriage on their minds. It’s a way to revive frat-house antics for soccer dads, cubicle pals or college buddies, and that attitude is reflected in the places these vacation packages pop up — Vegas over Venice, a ride in a racecar instead of a hot-air balloon.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I suppose if girls get to have their girl’s night out, guys should be able to have sleepovers and take vacations together.

It just sounds so weird. Hehehe.

    Mancation? Sounds like something The Man Blog would endorse.

    Eh? Women have been doing this for ages.

    Trust those silly men to try and make it sound new by giving it a new sparkly name. Psh.

Nina Fuentes | Lovin' ManilaNina, going through quarterlife crisis, decided to stop talking about traveling and actually start traveling. Starting with a solo weekend trip to Cebu to a backpacking trip in Thailand and Singapore, she finally made it out of Asia and into Australia. After spending close to six months down under, she's happily settled in Manila (for now), intent to explore the best things the Philippines has to offer.
