Gender or Bender?

Welcome to a new weekly thread, that aims to give an insight into the various destinations I have visited, and as to their suitability for either a massive binge drinking frenzy (Bender), or somewhere to take your partner to make up for a recent indiscretion or forgotten anniversary/birthday. Some will apply of course to both, let's face ti you can get pissed or your leg over pretty much anywhere, but some places are defiantly more suited to one rather than the other. My aim is to give each place a rating out of fifty, based on the following criteria;

1. Price- Do you need to clear the credit cards, or can you take a twenty and party all weekend? I have decided to mark this on the basis of what it costs in West Yorkshire, my home county, so that if something is the same price it gets five, and gains points for being cheaper, and vice versa for costing more. The main staples for this will be the prices of beer, grub and nightclub/event entry.
2. People- Are they friendly? Do they all resemble female shot putters? Do they go? Just a few of the things that will come under consideration. An ability to speak English will also earn points, but it is more important that the locals are fit, and enjoy wearing skimpy clothing. Unless it's someplace to take your missus, where the opposite applies. Obviously.
3. Stuff- What is there to do there? You can;t just get wankered in a bar all the time. Sometimes it's nice to get wankered in a different setting. Football games featuring top teams, ie Barcelona or great festivals, ie Oktoberfest are sure fire Bender favourites, whilst boat cruises and great shopping are the stuff for Gender trips. Sight seeing falls under both categories, as cool stuff is cool stuff, if you know what I mean, ie The Empire State Building.
4. Reputation- Lets face it, it is easier to fly a bender past the old trouble and strife if it is closer to home. They seem to think it's a bit of a piss take if you announce you are of to Vegas for some partying with your buddies. That doesn't mean that places an hour away are exempt though. The mere mention of Amsterdam has been known to put a relationship in jeopardy. So sometimes an unheard of gem can be the best bet, as in Tallinn, or perhaps Budapest. This also applies in reverse, as in say Paris or New York.
5. Intrigue- to get a trip up and running you need buy in. It has to be somewhere folk want to go, or have a reason to visit. A great example is Pamplona. Would you want to go? No? I thought as much, but if I were to say lets do the Bull run, you would probably change your mind. It is different stokes for different folks, but once you get a couple interested a few more will follow. Then again, and price can play a feature in this, there are places you would only really go for romantic weekend. I do firmly believe Venice would be wasted as a Bender destination.
6. Verdict- I will tally up the points, and give my verdict. Gender or Bender. I suspect the higher the marking out of fifty will indicate a result of Bender, and low for Gender, but there may be some anomalies.

So this is the template I will use over the coming weeks. If you feel I have missed something out, or totally disagree with my eventual verdict, feel free to leave a comment.
