The party lifestyle can pay lots of dividends in friends, fun,
and women. To plan a great party requires your focus on 5 key areas:
people, angle, and more.
We've had guys on Girls Chase asking me for years for a party
planning guide that will help guys make awesome friends and meet
beautiful girls. Most of the women I meet I meet via cold approach (i.e., I see a
girl I like wherever, so I just go talk to her). And most of my friends
I've met either via other friends or from forums (often private forums)
I participate on.
However, there was a time I used to throw parties. Great parties,
exclusive parties, with high status men and beautiful women.
Sometimes
I threw big parties, with hundreds of people in attendance. And more
often I threw smaller soirees with 25 to 40 people (which are generally
easier to manage and better to connect with people at... and hook up
at).
I didn't start off good at party planning. The first party I threw,
a Halloween house party a few days before the holiday (back in 2007),
saw a total of four people show up: one close friend of mine at
the time, who flew down from Chicago for what he thought would be a
legendary bash, and three random guys sent there by some girl I'd asked
to come (she didn't come, but she sent some dudes I didn't know over.
First rule of party planning: random dudes showing up = not ideal).
This after I'd spent weeks preparing for the party – my decorations
were
awesome! – and loads of cash on drinks, candy, and other snacks. My
friend, myself, and the three random dudes
ended up heading to a bar after about 40 minutes when no one else
showed up.
I spent the next 3.5 years going to every party I could and picking
the brains of the party planners before I felt confident enough to try
another party of my own. And once I did start to throw my own parties,
unlike that first attempt these parties were hits.
What I learned along the way, from first flop to final bash, was how
to plan a party a lot
more people showed up to... for, in general, a lot less work.
This is my guide to that. And while it will be easier than what I
did in 2007 for that go-nowhere bash, it'll still be some work – don't
think this will be a cake walk.
It's going to be work. But if you want to build the kinds of parties
that make all your wildest party dreams come true, and be the man of
the hour yourself, you're going to want to build them yourself, too.
