This thread seems to have more then it's share of forum posting no-nos anyways. Some guy on the first page decided it was a good idea to post in giant red text, while combining caps and underlines.
Anyways, to summarize my thoughts on this issue given your last post clarifying your position: No one can force you to do anything. The worst they can do is try to peer pressure you, and that only works if you let it. The best approach to combating that sort of stuff is to throw it back in their face "Guys, I'm not going to do this. Stop with the peer pressure act, this isn't elementary school." Bring your GF up to the house as much as possible to involve her with the existing brothers to put her at ease.
I think you've already gotten all this though, i'm just bored and find this thread interesting
