eric3579I understand
ChaosEngineI always had the same thoughts about parties when I was younger.
At any given party, you probably won't meet amazing new interesting people. You probably won't meet the love of your life.
But you might....
and the possibility of it is better than sitting at home.
Retroboysays...This guy's going to grow up to be a
slightlyfairly more sane Ben Stein.
MilkmanDansays...Me too... Except that I came to the opposite conclusion, decided it wasn't worth it, and that I actually *would* rather spend the time at home than go to that particular sort of party (the sort where you are hoping to meet new interesting people and/or attractive members of the opposite sex).
On the other hand, a "party" with a relatively small guest list of people that I generally already know and like has always been a much more interesting and attractive prospect for me. In that sort of situation, I don't have any expectations about what I'm going to "get out of" it, other than chatting and hanging out with people I know I like, and occasionally 1-2 other people that I have reason to believe I will like because they came with people I know.
I met my wife at a "party" like that, even though I had no expectations of that happening. So, good things can happen at "parties", but I still figure that is more likely to happen in a scenario where you feel most comfortable rather than one where you're not particularly comfortable but "on the prowl"...

ChaosEngineFunnily enough, I met my wife at a party like that too.
I'd kinda assumed that party ~= "Bunch of your friends + maybe one or two new people".
It also depends on your stage of life. I'm 37. This might sound terrible, but I don't want new friends. I'm perfectly happy with the ones I have and new ones would only mean spending less time with existing friends/family.
OTOH, if you're in your early 20s, crap parties are an important character forming experience:)
