YMMV but I’ve had the opposite experience: a big pharma sales rep (she had a lot of parties), lead software engineer with 15+ years of experience in IT, organization behavior consultant employed by an FFRDC, operations engineer at an FFRDC, and an IT director for a large federal contractor just to name a few. I know of one SAHM who was with an MLM.

This excludes people I remember from childhood who had Avon, Tupperware, MaryKaye, Hoda, Stanley Home Products or scented candles. Actually I didn’t know the reps. Only that my mom and grandma were invited to these parties.



Eh, it's more of an excuse to socialize and mingle. And in your case, a chance to brag and nsme drop about how important you are bc you're a(n) XYZ or work at 123.

I should add that I have two colleagues who joined the MLMs who don’t sell to anyone to support hobbies: one is an IT small business owner who was big into scrapbooking and an engineer who is into making handmade cards which she’s been doing for 20+ years. Not sure that the first one is still scrapbooking with paper; the second is definitely still into it.

These are bad enough in person, but there’s at least the possibility of booze and maybe socialization with a friend or two as a trade off for listening to some bs and feeling compelled to buy overpriced junk.

But virtual? Hell no. How awkward.

If you’re selling flying monsters, I would definitely love the party. I wouldn’t buy one though.


I would totally buy Mothra on an installment plan.

I grew up as a kid in the ‘70’s w/a Mom who threw the absolute best Tupperware parties.

Lots of friends, good food + fun games w/prizes, etc.

I had zero idea it was all a sham. 😧

I don’t care if it’s online, in person, via email, via Facebook, via carrier pidgeon. I don’t care if your product is old, new, different, better, or “not an mlm.” Nobody and I mean nobody except maybe your mom wants to buy your crap. And probably she’s just being nice.

Please, for the love, just STOP.
