Title: Do you attend parties?
Post by: melodylogan45 on January 23, 2017, 12:44:52 pm
As you get into your fifties, do you find that you
still like to attend parties or do you find that
You are not interested?

I do not seem to be interested. I believe my health issues
and low energy has a lot to do with it. Once I can get
myself back together, then maybe things will change.

Last party I went to was New Year's Eve and it was the first time in a long time since I went to one like that.

Being almost 47, I do not care for parties, concerts or anything.

There aren't as many invites as there once were.
I never have really cared for huge parties but would like to go when invited. The winter weather up doesn't help but fortunately I have a nice circle of friends to get together with :rainbow: :peace: >:( :wave:

No, I'm old for that and we are happy just to be at home.

I do not like parties, I have always been VERY uncomfortable around strangers

I am very busy most of the time, so yes, when an occasion arises where I can see my friends, I try to at least make an appearance.

Not really, I'm a introvert. So I loathe parties with strangers or people I'm not too interested in talking to.

No, not anymore

Not very often.

I can't remember the last party I went to.  Don't know many people that throw parties.  Not sure if a baby shower counts as a party.

I go to parties from time to time.

Post by: lmrbean on January 29, 2017, 08:10:48 pm
I'm in my early sixties and I still go to parties when invited, such as for New Year's or family celebrations of graduations, etc.  most of them are not as much fun as when I was younger - mostly just standing around eating and talking. It's the younger people at the party that appear to have the most fun, usually playing some game.
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: fjaz1 on January 29, 2017, 11:38:55 pm
Only family stuff.  It seems if you go to parties anywhere there is too much risk for trouble since there is always someone there to ruin it :bad: 8)

Post by: vg7405 on January 30, 2017, 04:05:11 am
I am a classic introvert...and I am in my thirties. Unless I am invited (and I actually like the person who is hosting the party), I rarely go. I am a homebody, through and through.

Post by: nadinastarr on January 30, 2017, 08:41:32 am
I'll be 38 here in less than a week, and I don't go to parties. I did that mostly in my teens and 20's, but rarely.

I would rather spend one on one time with my friends than in a big group of people.
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: tnshpalmer85 on January 30, 2017, 01:50:40 pm
If I get invited to a party, I will go but many times I do not feel like it is worth it. It seems people just basically come to parties to eat and drink and I am not a big food person. Most parties don't even have music.

From time to time.

I was never much of the partygoer.  I am much more the homebody.

No, I only go when I'm awake there's free food!

Post by: haimsterette on January 31, 2017, 04:39:52 pm
I have an extremely small group of friends and I think we're all too busy figuring things out for ourselves to have parties, haha. I would love to go to a party, though---it would be a nice and welcome distraction from all the uncertainty of work, finding a place to live, etc.!  :party:

im in my 30s and really i dont attend unless its a major mild stone or family ordered

Not into my 50's yet.... but I suspect I'll still like to go... as long as there's food!
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: pmagalei on January 31, 2017, 11:02:42 pm
I don't attend them because it is hard to try and get away after you eat and everyone is looking at you. Yikes!!
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: beatsdrop on February 01, 2017, 11:57:26 am
Nope. They're stressful for someone introverted like myself.

Post by: mardukblood2009 on February 01, 2017, 01:11:01 pm
I have been too a few parties over the years. I really don't like them very much unless I know everyone. I am not too much of a party person. :cat:

I believe the older you get the more you prefer an intimate gathering of a small group of friends rather than the chaos of ig Bashes!
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: linderlizzie on February 01, 2017, 03:02:29 pm
Every post on here shows that we're all a real bunch of party poopers! :party: :neutral: Am I right?

Well, I like to be around people and talk, and/or eat, and/or dance. But if it's just an excuse to get drunk, you can count me out.

When I was a teenager, I was usually the designated driver (because I drank WAY less than anyone else) and I always wondered why puking your guts out was deemed so much fun by so many people.  ???

I don't really care for going to parties. I am more of a home body, so I enjoy being home with family.

Post by: makeblessed on February 01, 2017, 06:25:57 pm
No not like I use to do when I was younger, if it is  with people who are retired like me and in my age bracket I do still enjoy, but I am not into some of the new music, I like old school R&B.

yes i still like parties just not every weekend

Post by: SherylsShado on February 05, 2017, 07:10:25 pm
I don't like going to parties, but I enjoy throwing parties at my home (not where anything is sold like Pampered Chef, Scentsy, etc.).  Just a small group of family or friends, no alcohol, good food & good fun. 

Holidays, Celebrations, Just Because....(and I LOVE doing "themed" parties!!)

Lots of pictures, lots of fun, lots of memories!!

When I was young I enjoyed parties at my house but not going to others. I felt I had more control over situations and less likely to get the law called. Nowadays, My idea of a party is a party tray and a good movie at home.

Post by: braggin on February 08, 2017, 08:44:46 am
Besides the occasional invitation to go out to eat at restaurants with friends, I can't even remember the last time I was invited to a party except for family parties on holidays. I don't think I would be too crazy about going to one anyway any more.
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: natashaspy on February 08, 2017, 10:11:08 am
I haven't been to a party in ages.  Just have no interest in going. I find the older that I get the more of an introvert I become and I don't have a ton of patience to deal with other people.
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: sherryinutah on February 08, 2017, 02:21:23 pm
I was never a party animal.  Too responsible for my own good.

Now, I spend time with friends where we naturally end up with a party; talking, laughing, having drinks and sometimes there's a little bit of drama but it's all worth it.

In the past I went to plenty of parties.  I haven't been to one for a long time now.

Nope I don't party

It depends on who is having the party and what the party is for.
Title: Re: Do you attend parties?
Post by: bremer51 on February 09, 2017, 07:08:23 pm
If I get an invitation, I will attend.  But I'm not the wild child I used to be.  Thank God.

Nope. They exhaust me since I'm introverted.

It has a lot of years since I went to a party. There are too many things happening at parties lately.  I don't miss the parties all that much.

No not really, only if I am invited to one.

Absolutely not. Parties are so silly and such a bad use of your time.

No, I just to go small gatherings with friends.

The only parties I go to is the special occasions lol and hopefully I handle-myself as everyone understands.  :party:

Post by: ghunter on March 20, 2017, 08:54:57 am
No, I do not attend parties any more.  I will attend a house gathering with old friends and we eat and talk, maybe play some cards, but parties no.

Post by: sfreeman8 on March 20, 2017, 09:10:55 am
We gave up going to parties. In fact, not too many friends held parties so it was no big deal.

We enjoyed throwing parties every summer for every holiday. had to give those up 8 years ago. i made all the food back then. We used to throw a Christmas Eve party, too. it was nothing to have 50 people here and most were friends of my boys.  I miss those days.

Post by: pectacon on March 20, 2017, 10:26:32 am
I'm an introvert so I usually duck party invitations, I know I'm no fun but they just overwhelm me too much. If it's not a huge one, or I know a lot of people there, I might go.
