[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People who attend parties don't really want to be there. Stop throwing parties, no one wants to go. [b]They are doing you a favor by showing up.[/b] They don't want to throw more parties at their own homes.  Stop already. [/quote]

You are so much less special and important than you think you are.[/quote]

So are you. 
 I’m not sitting around waiting for the invite to your amazing party.  But if we generally hang out in a group of five, and you only invite three other women and leave me out, I’m going to wonder what’s up.  
If you don’t want to host, let’s just meet up at the bar. Who cares?

Are you initiating the bar meet up?

The whole thread is about effort. Do you only expect invitations or do you also invite the friend(s) out? The invitation does not have to be to your home, just any effort towards the friendship.[/quote]

Honestly, I really don’t know anyone who would intentionally leave someone out like this.  If someone is inviting teammates from the rec league sport I play over to their house or out to the bar, everyone is invited.  The person doing the inviting doesn’t pick and choose.  I don’t keep track of how often people initiate the invite.

When my kids were little, I had a weekly standing play date with four other women, and we were all invited every time.  One of them lived in a trailer and never hosted.  No one ever thought to disinvite her because of it. I hosted at my house a lot, but I can’t remember anyone ever really “initiating.”

I just don’t see how purposefully excluding people is anything other than mean.
