Why the hell do people party?

[Violet]

Seriously... they are loud, annoying, and smell horrid. Why the hell do people have them?

Clearly you seem to have a rather specific concept of what a 'party' is.

For instance, the parties I throw involve being visited by a group of friends, breaking out the vaporizer and pot, putting on a TV show and downloading (err... ordering) pizza from Dominos.

Contrast that with the massive quarterly party my fraternity throws, involving alcohol, loud music and a crowd of people to wade through.

Improved chance of getting laid.

The hell you say about parties!!! I play parties for money and/or free beer. Parties are great and I will do them till I die.

And even though I am creeping up on 40, slightly greying hair, and have a beer belly, I guarentee you that I can still make the audience dance, laugh, shout, and near the end I will convince more than one lady to take her top off and "jiggle those tah tah's"

If you hate parties, then you suck start farts out of a crotchety old anti-social's asshole.

That will be all

What a fragrant expression,not to mention mature and tolerant. (if you happen to be 12)

Me? I've never liked parties unless I know most of the people there. I went to them from about age 17 for a decade,plus discos/dances at least once a week, to to meet girls. I was spectacularly unsuccessful.

Don't go to parties these days as I stopped drinking due to a vindictive liver. Being the only sober person in a room full of drunks is not only boring but often cringe inducing.

Today; Moros' description is close to the kind of parties I actually attend from time-to-time (sans pot)

Hey! I resemble that remark.

For some. Never picked a girl up from out on the town, and only once or twice from a party, but didn't get laid. So I guess they don't count either.

Never been a big fan of large crowds.

I'm with Moros on this ...

A party doesn't have to be raunchy, but hell, who cares if it is. I'm all for it.
What the hell do you do if you don't go out and socialize?!? What is life without experiencing the communal drunkeness of your friends and family?! I gotta tell you, if given the choice of going out on a Friday night or staying home and reading threads ... I'm going to the fuckin party. Stay home by yourself the rest of your life. I hope you like cats and knitting and funky cabbage smell - cause thats where you're headed!




"Why the hell do people party?" Ridiculous question. That's like asking, "Why do people laugh?"

Agreed that I do... it's the latter to which I refer of course.

I was presuming the 'raunchy' form of partying (alcohol, many people, loud music)... I can totally understand hanging out with a few friends and maybe doing something together... but I can't wrap my brain around how a 'raunchy' party is at all fun. Same problem I have with orgies really (too many people, too much 'noise').

I don't consider a couple of friends getting together to be a 'party'. I use 'couple' in this case to mean is about 3ish.

Life without experiencing communal drunkenness is, i think, preferable. I don't like people when they are drunk... it exasperates the things I hate about them while reducing the things I like.

Given how many friends I have at the moment, it might well be correct. As for what I do, why do you think I am an avid gamer and have so many posts here??

And... eew.

I also do not suck farts out of anyone. Never touched such an area with my tongue/lips. Never will.

Ever.

Just to get that out of the way

Fine. Then you obviously do it with a straw.
