irc333 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Now comes the next one...the person who is too much of a social butterfly (if there is such a thing) With Halloween coming up, there are those personality types that instead of attending one nice Halloween party the entire evening, and then going home. They prefer to "party hop", personally, I think it lacks social graces to bail after staying an hour. But, I saw this post on FB how on an FB invite how she'll "stop by to say hello" which indicates she isn't sticking around. They tend to party hop, and can never really form bonds or real friendships. I recall during the summer, I was at this Pool party, I was talking to a woman, but she said "oh, I have a another pool party I need to be at and it's on the other side of town! lol" An hour ride to another party? Why just not stick to the same one?
Emilia Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 An hour ride to another party? Why just not stick to the same one? Some people are worried that they miss out. Have to say I've grown out of this. Parties are usually very similar unless there is someone you really fancy or you are with good friends - which is always great. 2
january2011 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Or some just feel that they can't let anyone down and must show their face, no matter how briefly. Sometimes their friends are okay with this, sometimes they're not. 1
Mrlonelyone Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Some people do this simply for the social networking. Meeting new people and making new connections which could come in handy latter.
grkBoy Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 Bar hopping has become a norm for many outgoing women. I used to chat on some nightlife message boards, and when the "what did you do last weekend?" came up, the girls would post how they hit 7-10 places in a single night. Basically come in, get one round, say hi's, make an appearance, possibly get photographed by the club's photographer, and on to the next place. It's easier for girls, especially pretty ones...because they can walk up to the door and get in for free easily over guys. This is another one of those "I won't knock them, but I won't date them either" instances. I've seen too many of these women gain a very inflated ego and suddenly believe they are fashion model/socialite/celebrities, plus they tend to chase "bad boys" and later moan/complain how their "boyfriend this month" cheated on them or stopped calling or whatever.
2sure Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 If the event or party is at someone's home - I either go for the whole time or not at all. If it is a larger thing (other than a wedding) if I can get away with going before dinner, just for dinner, or after dinner...Im doing that.
iris219 Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I can almost guarantee that these women would stick around rather than hurrying off to the next venue if a man they thought they might be interested in was there. They aren't trying to make friends; they're trying to meet men. They'll walk in, scan the room, and decide based on their quick assessment of the men there how long they will be staying. I know this because I've done it before. 1
xxoo Posted October 24, 2012 Posted October 24, 2012 I agree with Iris. They wouldn't leave if there was someone of special interest to them in attendance. Once they are actually in a relationship, this would likely end. Alternatively, I sometimes end up "event hopping" because I have two friends, from different social circles, who have scheduled events on the same day--and it is important to both of them that I attend. 1

I know this because I've done it before. With the price of GAS these days, they'd be willing to drive an hour across the big city to a party completely on the other side for a man? LOL And I thought men were bad. Once they are actually in a relationship, this would likely end. And more than likely, the relationship will end as quickly as it started...then...wash, rinse, repeat. ;-) If someone is not into having fun, forming /nurturing something meaningful, chances are even their relationships aren't all that meaningful either. "Express" relationships just don't cut it.

Author irc333 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) You got all that from seeing her at a party? Actually, I've spoken with her at length about it. Not the part about the "Relationship ending as quickly as it's started", but I've seen how people met at gatherings, hooked up, dated 3 months, never see them...then they come out of the blue...and you say to them, "Hey, long time no see...where's your better half" and they say, "Meh, we grew apart" or "things just didn't work out."
