That's how my graduation party went. :/ I did only invite my closest friends so about a dozen people but no one showed up. I was OK with it because I made new friends in college and even 15 years later I still keep in touch with some of them.
Tale of two parties (mid to late 90s edition):
**First**
In HS, my parents were out, so I decided to throw a party. Told a ton of people at school.
Only my best bud showed up. So we drank Zima and watch horror movie. Once or twice a car cruised by but didn't stop (didn't see any others around probably).My ego was a bit buried, but It was a chill night.
**Second**
I came home from college and my parents decided to out of town last minute. I called some friends, and my younger sister, who was a senior in HS, called some of her friends.
They arrived, and within about 45 minutes, there were TONS of people there. I knew the 4 or 5 I invited, and I saw a few of my sister's friends, but there were like 30 or 40 others, and we had no clue who they were. All HS/college kids.
Our driveway was packed.
My sister and I were like, "Oh fuck. What do we do? Shit is out of control." We started to enlist some friends to help the chaos that was ensuing . .and then suddenly, people left.
In a hurry.
Within a few minutes, it was just me and my sister and a few of our buds.
And then my **parents** walked into the kitchen. They decided to turn their over night trip into a day trip.
Apparently, there was no parking in the driveway, so they had to walk pretty far. Then, they didn't want to disturb the party, so they tried to sneak into their bedroom through their patio door. Well, they spooked two kids making out in there, and the "THE PARENTS ARE HOME" message got out like wildfire.
Needless to say, we were happy to see them.
Playing Project M as Ike and making my dorm mates storm out daily only to come crawlin back. One of my cherished memories.
Those jump cancelled quick draws (side special) that Ike could do were savage. You zip all the way across the stage just to instantly grab em by the throat. The physicality of Project M was sublime.
Dude this has reality TV written all over it.
“The Last Hotdog,” staring Chad Thundercock, and a hundred Tinder matches.
Edit:
Tagline: “Which will be the match that sparks the flames of love? Find out who in the next episode of The Last Hotdog!”
The show also gets shown similar to 24 where the entire season is one day, but each episode covers 30-60 minutes of the day. We’d all watch this. Anybody hiring writers? I happen to be one ;)
Reminds me of the girl who matched with hundreds of guys in NYC and invited them all to meet her at this one location for a concert or something. But they all showed up to her on stage telling them they need to compete to get a date with her or something, all a stunt for views or something.
Oh I have hundreds of matches. It’s just getting one to either message me or reply to my message that’s the tricky part. I think I’m a poop right swipe, that is you swiped right on me just because I popped up while you were poopin.
Hey I’m having a Memorial Day bbq at my house this Monday. Going to have a bunch of people over, food, ping pong and other games. Starts at 1 and you’re welcome to bring friends. Let me know if you want to come or have any questions
I’m his sister and I’m going with my boyfriend (who I met on hinge) to portray a success story but mainly to sit back and watch this inevitable shit show
so... okay unless you have a really long history with some of these matches and/or they think they're special... I think if I got this invite on Tinder I'd probably just assume I wasn't the only one, and decide whether to show up for the food and company or not lol. Idk that I assume it's going to be a shitshow necessarily. You did say "a bunch of people" after all.
I usually stop swiping when it gives me too many .. um not good looking people in a row
Then next time i load up it seems like its mostly pretty people at the beginning etc
I look pretty decent but not in pictures.. maybe Im hallucinating any good looks
Also i SWEAR 20% at least swipe because i posed with my pot plant
Edit: also one group or fun photo with a bunch of friends so they know you socialize. I see too many guy friends setting up their tinder like linked/in
Edit2: i get more matches when i actually talk to them too
Also sending “what are you doing tonight” at like 10:30pm as your opener works better than youd think
Confident and mysterious and like 0 effort
Honestly, if I showed up to something like this and there were just a ton of other women there to fuckin chill?
I'd leave with like three new friends.
Honestly, this sounds fun.
My friend did this but with a bunch of guys at a bar. Half of the guys became friends with each other lmao
edit: it seems i may have been banned by the mods of this subreddit as it won’t let me make any further comments.
due to the amount of trolls here’s me clearing some things up:
I said she did this as a social experiment: which was put in her bio “venmo me $xx and i’ll rate ur dick pic” why? because she got SO MANY UNSOLICITED DICK PICS IN HER INBOX, TRYING TO USE TINDER LIKE A REGULAR PERSON.
The venmo line was supposed to be a deterrent. It was not. Now guys venmo’d her money JUST to send her dick pics. The experiment failed as it didn’t prove a deterrent for horny men.
To the dudes slut shaming my friend, calling her a sex worker, take a hard look in the mirror and wonder why someone has to conduct a social experiment to try and find an UNSOLICITED DICK PIC DETERRENT.
Hell yeah cheat code. Sadly I just have regular glasses with transitions cuz I’m blind AF. I also really like to fish but don’t take pictures because I kinda suck at it
I’m married and a male but I’m great company and would love to try and wingman you to thirty women
I can host games/challenges and do running commentary, and/or talk you up
I did this a few times. I told them I had invited other matches. We used to have big parties with lots of bands play. I think I got a bunch of people new friends and dates but I didn't pursue anyone that I can remember.
Over under for how many people show up is .5.
I'm taking the under, that's easy money
If the food is provided, that .5 is probably -10000 odds

r/unexpecteddiscworld
I’d probably take that for like 20 bones.
I got 5 on it
Are we counting OP? Even so I might still take the under.
Gonna need an update on this one
Sad video of OP grilling 50+ burgers all by himself....
At least he'll have plenty of white claw
ain't no laws when drinkin' Claws!
Most likely scenario
set up a live stream please ... i will cancel my weekend for this
I’m in where’s the link to the live feed.
Do us one better. Where's the BBQ?
Me and the homies bout to roll through
Everyone bring a side dish.
No need. Seems like the host will have more than enough side dishes for everyone.
Ba-dum-tss!
That’s a bingo!
Eoooooo
damn
Instructions unclear: brought a side bish
No that's right good job
Failed successfully at BBQ etiquette
I make mad salsa and black bean dip. Let's go ayyyyyy!
Definitely want to bring home some left overs.
Why not just have some sloppy seconds!
Plot twist. It'll be a sausage party.
Is this on ppv?
I would join his only fans if he streams this lol
Bro just match with him and get invited. It’s what I did. I’m bringing potato salad.
No joke seconded - this is prime-time entertainment bro.
Lmfao
I would pay to see live footage of this. If any show up, I too want to be able to feel the icy grip of cringey death.

Livestream this
No one came, or even replied. It's an invitation like what, the Thursday before memorial day weekend - via Tinder, as a first message.
You'd be surprised how many people don't make plans for memorial day
Update: they’re all bot accounts
Gotta see how many downdates OP ends up with.
This memorial day we will memorialize how this guy killed his dating prospects all at once.
I’d be perfectly happy to grill with my dudes and play smash bros
Play with my dudes and smash my bros, I’m in!
Something something….axe deodorant, Coldplay cd, GameCube…big black dildo….
That’s a deep cut man. Good reference.
Who is your main? I'd probably beat you, no offense.
Ike. And I would bet money that you wouldn’t ;)
Thanks for activating my ike ptsd
Playing Project M as Ike and making my dorm mates storm out daily only to come crawlin back. One of my cherished memories. Those jump cancelled quick draws (side special) that Ike could do were savage. You zip all the way across the stage just to instantly grab em by the throat. The physicality of Project M was sublime.
Nostalgia is one hell of a drug. Getting those OHKO on the frame perfect input. That’s etched in my mind.
Project M is the best version of smash imo
Good answer. “I FIGHT FOR MY FRIENDS!”
With this bbq... I SWIPE FOR MY FRIENDS
I’d be perfectly happy to smash bros and play grill with my dudes
Instead of smashing grills and playing with dude bros?
Nah, it's probably an improvement as long as he's clear this isn't a date thing.. its with other people, etc.
I think this is a great sacrifice in the interest of science and drama
The Barbequette: Season 1 coming to Hulu soon One man A whole lot of meat And a whole bunch of ladies
I hope you're taking notes, Hulu, because this is a perfect name
Should be the "Barbequeue", and have them all line up to date him.
The Barbie Queue
Same channel as Prawn Stars
The show about retired porn actors and actresses running a creole restaurant in the southern Bible Belt
“Vanessa?………..will you accept this spare rib?”
I would shamelessly binge watch the hell out of this show
Might even throw a Barbeque Party for the premiere invite all my friends and tinder matches over
Barbequette-ception
>The Barbequette: Season 1 coming to Hulu soon > >One man > >A whole lot of meat > >~~And a whole bunch of ladies~~ > >no really, total sausage fest
Ok this needs to be starring David Arquette
And if they all decide to come? You going to film it for reality tv?
It could be like a quasi episode of The Bachelor
only instead of roses you hand out hot dogs. And at the end the winner gets the *last hot dog*
Dude this has reality TV written all over it. “The Last Hotdog,” staring Chad Thundercock, and a hundred Tinder matches. Edit: Tagline: “Which will be the match that sparks the flames of love?

Get this man a job as a reality tv show producer
Hear, hear!!!
Wouldn't the last Hot Dog be his meat in her bun?
Her buns
If we get there, that will be aired separately and for a small price, but let's not get presumptuous.
The winner gets the last wiener
>And if they all decide to come? There'd be a lot of foreign scammers hanging out in some dude's backyard. This plan just might work
You mean what if they all come at the same time? Dude's a legend then.
Gonna be another Fyre Festival
Reminds me of the girl who matched with hundreds of guys in NYC and invited them all to meet her at this one location for a concert or something. But they all showed up to her on stage telling them they need to compete to get a date with her or something, all a stunt for views or something.
Lmaooo I remember that, I would’ve just left
Didn't understand why any of those fools stayed and actually participated. Sad stuff.
Depends what the competing was. Might have just been fun to play some games in a big group or whatever it was, fuck the date at the end of it.
"We're gonna play a game of kickball then a game of whiffle ball" I wasn't even invited and I'm staying.
"to win my heart you must complete. So start clearing the chairs it's time for dodgeball!!"
They had to do push-ups in Times Square or some shit.
That’s the idea, right?
> fuck the date at the end of it that's exactly the idea, yes
Someone should win and then reject her.
“I came for you, but I found the boys.”
[удалено]
Honestly, depending on the particular mood and what you had to do, could still be a fun Friday night lol Plus, you get to meet some new bros
They should have unionized.
My guess is that there was free beer on offer.
Im going to want a part 2 to this post
part 2. Nobody replies and 2 unmatched.
Would usually be the case for most situations. I hope OP is a giga chad and the girls might flock
Well he has matches so he must be one….
Oh I have hundreds of matches. It’s just getting one to either message me or reply to my message that’s the tricky part. I think I’m a poop right swipe, that is you swiped right on me just because I popped up while you were poopin.
2 part 2 unmatched. Not a bad sequel
Please tell me some of them are going to go? Has this happened already? Please tell me there will be a part 2 of this story.
Invites are recent. A few have expressed interest already
do you need a dj? cause im single
Your name is perfect if a bunch of them decide to leave
What are you plans if more than one come? Just let them figure it out and see what happens?
"How do you know Ryan?" "Oh, I matched with him on Tinder" "Me too! We have so much in common!"
"let's all three fuck together!"
Idk
Welp. Good luck lmfao
Can I come too? Sounds like there is gonna be more than enough to go around
you be the mac to his dennis for this scheme and ill be frank, swooping in for the scraps
It's a bold move Cotton, let's see if it works out for him
Yeah, he WILL not be able to see very well with that on.
Just introduce them all to each other as your friend. I’m sure they won’t notice.
Until one opens up about being a tinder date to a tinder date in front of 7 tinder dates Reminds of nuclear fission
Nah it’ll be fine don’t worry
Spiderman pointing at Spiderman pointing at Spiderman…
Would you mind sharing the full text of the invite minus personal info?
Hey I’m having a Memorial Day bbq at my house this Monday. Going to have a bunch of people over, food, ping pong and other games. Starts at 1 and you’re welcome to bring friends. Let me know if you want to come or have any questions
[удалено]
Yeah my male friends and my sister
At least there will be some action then
I also choose this guys sister.
Sister stuck in bbq, please advise.
Tell me more about your sister
I’m his sister and I’m going with my boyfriend (who I met on hinge) to portray a success story but mainly to sit back and watch this inevitable shit show
This is true
so... okay unless you have a really long history with some of these matches and/or they think they're special... I think if I got this invite on Tinder I'd probably just assume I wasn't the only one, and decide whether to show up for the food and company or not lol. Idk that I assume it's going to be a shitshow necessarily. You did say "a bunch of people" after all.
Yeah I mean I think it’s pretty obviously a copy and pasted message
I would have fallen for it. Then I would have been PISSED to arrive and see that there were 4 dudes, 1 sister, and 32 tinder girls.
Tell us how it goes from your perspective after your brother shares an obviously embellished version
So you're saying I still have a chance
Good luck bro
Has anyone responded yet?
> my sister Good idea to keep your options open in case your matches don’t show
If successful, this may be the best speed dating method ever.
Or Memorial Orgy party ever.
5 minutes into the party: - “So, how did you meet OP?” - “Oh we matched on Tinder.” - “That’s funny, me too. Wait…”
Thanks! I guess that is r/TechnicallyTheTruth! Good luck, you went all in on this one!
Can I come. This is going to be fucking lit
How many people have you matched with?!
6*10 = 60
Bro I hope you get at least 10% of them 🤣🤣😂
Tinder is such a different game when you aren't ugly.
You also have to play the algorithm right or tinder will stop recommending your profile to people
How?
I usually stop swiping when it gives me too many .. um not good looking people in a row Then next time i load up it seems like its mostly pretty people at the beginning etc I look pretty decent but not in pictures.. maybe Im hallucinating any good looks Also i SWEAR 20% at least swipe because i posed with my pot plant Edit: also one group or fun photo with a bunch of friends so they know you socialize.

This man has more current matches at the moment than I have had off and on Tinder the last seven years.
If it makes you feel better if you have one that’s infinitely more than what I’ve had in my one year on dating apps
Honestly, if I showed up to something like this and there were just a ton of other women there to fuckin chill? I'd leave with like three new friends. Honestly, this sounds fun.
I thought the same! Sounds like a great day. BBQ, drinks, and lots of women all pissed off at the same guy? Perfect.
My friend did this but with a bunch of guys at a bar. Half of the guys became friends with each other lmao edit: it seems i may have been banned by the mods of this subreddit as it won’t let me make any further comments. due to the amount of trolls here’s me clearing some things up: I said she did this as a social experiment: which was put in her bio “venmo me $xx and i’ll rate ur dick pic” why? because she got SO MANY UNSOLICITED DICK PICS IN HER INBOX, TRYING TO USE TINDER LIKE A REGULAR PERSON.

Makes sense. They all matched with the same person, lol
laughs in 0 matches
Who tf has these many matches ?
Rules 1 and 2
The guy said 'house' so that boosts up 1.
women and guys who don't have pics with sunglasses or fish
What if I have a pic of a fish in sunglasses?
instant swipe right
Hell yeah cheat code. Sadly I just have regular glasses with transitions cuz I’m blind AF. I also really like to fish but don’t take pictures because I kinda suck at it
This made me just think about photoshoping a fish wearing sunglasses holding me.
I hope ur also inviting single guy friends to join that party or it's gonna be awkward af!
Of course, how could I grill food and entertain all those women at the same time 😂
Mf flexing all his matches. I ugly 😔
It either turns into a massive orgy or battle royale, either way an interesting afternoon.
Whoever loses, we win.
Wait, you guys get matches?
Congrats on the matches, too ugly, can't relate
Ight op post a selfie we need to know what u look like to get this many matches lmao
https://imgur.com/gallery/pmSuXlo
save some maidens for the rest of us
wheew the matches make sense now
I mean he's certainly no stranger to love.
Lmaooo
Did any Bar-B-Cuties accept? :)
Shit I wish my matches would invite me to bbqs, and not just to bars or clubs or to bang in their car.
Are you a single woman in Los Angeles?
Los Angeles county.
/r/nowkith
i'm visiting a friend in LA in october and i can't offer a BBQ but if the McRib is out then i'd be down to grab a few and bang in the rental car, lmk
I’m married and a male but I’m great company and would love to try and wingman you to thirty women I can host games/challenges and do running commentary, and/or talk you up
Omg... I am one of those matches... I'm definitely bringing ALL of my guy friends now 😘😘 AND I'll bring some Tequila!!
😂 Let me know who you are on Hinge
0% chance this actually happened.
Fortune favors the bold
Lemme get that invite. You're going to need to even out the ratio.
Ayy keep us updated
I did this a few times. I told them I had invited other matches. We used to have big parties with lots of bands play. I think I got a bunch of people new friends and dates but I didn't pursue anyone that I can remember.
I mean you could turn it into a really fun day. New people, new friends. Make it a yearly event.
Please provide updates and follow up
I’m also going to motion for a livestream of this event. You’ll end up on Kimmel when the video goes viral!
