Fine Print

Seen in a notice for a singles event:
GUYS - YOU MUST BRING A GIRL. See below.
…
EACH GUY MUST BRING A GIRL. Or two. Or ten. (Yeah, yeah, double standard… but this is Seattle). Don’t show up with three dudes unless you have an equal number of ladies. Got it? GUYS - BRING A GIRL. There will be someone at the door - we’ll know if you show with a bunch of guys, and it’s not cool.
Discuss.
He (I’m assuming its a he), does make a valid point. No point in going to a singles party if its nothing but a sausage-fest. Showing up to a party with three dudes is pretty lame unless you have equal number of ladies. Judging by the words used - “Got it?” “it’s not cool.” “dudes” - I’d say the person who wrote this article is aged 19-24 and desperately single.
But if you have a plethora of girls to bring, wouldn’t one think that you wouldn’t need a singles event?
Ugh, it sounds like the criteria for getting into a club in NYC. Shudder.
I’m just laughing at the re-iteration. Like there’s a bunch of horny dudes out there who can’t read or feign ignorance and shove their way into these events. The author has to dumb it down and repeat it several times.
NO SAUSAGES. Got it? Look in your pants, do you see a sausage? Don’t bring it. Sausages? Nope, don’t want any. Is that a sausage there? No entry, you’ll be turned away by the bigger sausages guarding the door. To reiterate: NO SAUSAGES PLEASE.
