Poolside Party
Partying at a Summer Poolside Party with Young Hollywood

One of the most fun ways to attract beautiful girls into your life is to throw a party. Throughout my youth, I have thrown several parties. In high school, I rented out a large Manhattan nightclub called Club Apple after my high school prom for a large after-hours party. From there, I went to the University of Wisconsin-Madison and threw very grand parties.

I started off by having my dorm friends and I buy a bunch of alcohol and then throwing a party in my dorm room, where there was a keg of beer in my shower and a mini-fridge full of alcohol. It escalated to me renting a 55 foot motor yacht and having an all you can drink booze cruise. Then, it escalated to me renting a 3 story supper club and transforming it into a fully catered event with a separate DJ in the first 2 floors and 3rd floor with free drinks and finger foods.

I started throwing regular parties throughout my college career and it allowed me to meet lots of girls. In order to fill my parties, I’d approach hot sororities and invite their girls to come to my events. I’d also drop a private newsletter in each of the cubbies of girls in my dorms to invite them to my parties. And I reached out to the press and my parties were discussed in newspapers and magazines.

Soon, I got the attention of Playboy Magazine, who recruited me to start throwing parties for them as a representative for Playboy Magazine’s College Division based out of New York. I’d receive regular promotional material packages of Playboy that they’d want me to promote via various parties.

However, when I graduated, instead of renting out venues and spending a lot of my own money to do so, I joined Xenii and they organized the parties, renting out large movie studio stages and mansions. As a member, I had fun attending the events, but I also promoted the parties via text message. My blackberry can send out 2000 text messages with the push of a button.

I’ve also masterd the ability of throwing a party. In fact, on a NY bootcamp in January, I threw a party at Pop Burger, where I invited VIP promoters, girls, and event got people to buy bottle service, and the entire event was organized in 30 minutes of text messages. The contacts, I built up in the previous week via cold approaches and networking in a social circle that I built in 1 week.

That goes to show you how easy it is to throw a party and get people involved in your events. This is a great way to keep girls going out with you to your events on a regular basis. If you don’t want to throw the party yourself, you can promote the nights when you go out to hot nightclubs and call it “hosting a party” since you are the one who is organizing everything.

As a result, I have several girls in Young Hollywood, whose social calendars revolve around events that I throw. My friends and I often get invited to other parties and hot nightclubs because we invite a lot of girls to the events that we go to. In fact, myself and others will even get paid to promote these parties and go to them with our girls.

I’ve been offered equity in exclusive private membership social clubs because of my knowledge and relationships in LA nightlife. I’ve offered served on the Members Board of Xenii, which was a young Hollywood social club for young socialites, models and celebrities who paid between $650-$25,000/month to party in all-night Friday movie studio parties, all-day mansion swimsuit summer parties, and elite vacations with special event access to exotic locations like Park City for Sundance Film Festival or Rio De Janeiro for Carnival.

Inviting Friends Out to Party in Hollywood

Parties can help you develop a lifestyle and it doesn’t require a lot of money or a lot of resources. All it requires is a bit of time to network. Most of the contacts I’ve made to establish my rolodex were from cold approaches. I didn’t start off with a list of hot girls, cool dudes, industry connections, and models, but I did have a drive to build my contact list and to have a lot of fun doing it.

Instead of using my skills to pickup girls solely to get phone numbers of girls that I’d want to date or hookup with, I also used my skills of walking up to random strangers to develop a social network of male and female friends that would help me build a fun and cool social circle. When I got the phone numbers of girls, I’d invite all of them to weekly parties (and sometimes more frequently). Instead of spending a month organizing a sophisticated gala, I’d organize a small wine tasting or dinner party with an exclusive, tight group of friends.

Although I’d develop a lot of broad relationships with everyone, I also kept close relationships with a tight, small circle of friends, and we’d throw parties together. Sometimes, we’d combine forces to rent out large houses for parties, or get alcohol sponsors to provide us with booze, but we each threw our own parties. Once you get the hang of throwing parties, it is a very fun, rewarding experience, and it is an easy skill to master.

When I organize a dinner party, all it takes is to send out a text message and invite a bunch of girls and guys to the restaurant for dinner. Likewise, if I want to do a wine tasting, I’d simply text message my friends to show-up at a wine tasting lounge. Sometimes, I’d throw a party at my house and invite everyone back to my place for an after-hours party for when the nightclubs closed, but this wasn’t absolutely necessary.

Other times, I’d throw parties at my friends’ houses or wait for my friends to throw parties at their houses. I have a lot of friends who have very cool homes or know of great locations to throw parties. And when my friends host a wine-tasting or private dinner at their house, I can get credit for inviting hot girls and cool company to the party.

There are several things to consider when you are throwing a party so I’m going to make a short list of what these are here (it is not totally comprehensive, but it should give you a simple checklist to help you throw your own party):

1) VENUE – Where are you doing to throw the event? Is this venue unique, hot, or have a special appeal to your party-goers? Will you be able to host a party for free or will they charge you for bringing your people to the venue?

2) GIRLS – Do you know a lot of hot girls that you can invite to the party or will you have to do cold approaches to build up your rolodex? Will your friends invite hot girls to the party? What will you do to make sure that the girls at your party are of a high caliber?

3) DRINKS – Will an alcohol company sponsor your event or will you have to charge money for booze? What are the laws governing the sale of alcohol in your city at a party? Do you have enough drinks for the people attending your event for the duration of the event?

4) MUSIC – Are you going to DJ your own party or hire a DJ? Do you have a good sound system to use or will you need to oursource your sound system? Does the venue you are using already have the music setup for you?

5) FOOD – Will you cater the event with a meal or finger foods? Do you have light foods or a dinner meal? What staff will you need to cater your event? Will guests help you with food or do you know of local restaurants that can sponsor your party? How about a chef for a dinner party?

6) AMBIANCE – Is this party a classy and upscale event with a sophisticated theme, furniture, and décor, or is this going to be a more laid-back and down to early party-scene? Will the music, fashion, and venue match the ambiance that you want to exude for your party?

7) FASHION – Is this going to be a down-to-earth casual or semi-formal function or will party-goers be required to dress to the nines or wear a funky costume? How are you going to let your audience know what to wear?

8) LIGHTS – Will you host a sophisticated lights show or have the audio/visual company that you need to project lasers or video images? Are you going to need a technician to have lights on the dance floor?

9) DANCING – Will there be a hip hop dancefloor or a more classic feel to the dancefloor? Are people going to be dancing throughout the night or will there be no dancefloor at all? Do you need a portable dancefloor or does the venue already have one in place?

10) POKER – Do you offer Texas Hold’em poker, have a table, and hire a professional dealer to run the cards, in which case your guest play for real money? Will there be “play money” competition on different gambling games? Is there going to be cash or other prizes for a tournament?

11) BARTENDERS – Who is bartending your event? Are the bartenders educated on mixology and complex drinks or are they only trained on making simple mixed drinks? Do your bartenders work for an alcohol sponsor or are they simply working for the venue hosts?

12) PROMOTERS – Who is promoting your party? What kind of people are on the list of the promoters that you invited to promote for you? Do you offer a commission for selling tickets, memberships, or VIP bottle service?

13) VIP – Do you charge a premium for a roped-off VIP area for private clients? Are you going to have VIP Hosts manage special guests with drinks and food? Will you offer VIP security for premium party guests? Will celebrities be in a roped off area?

14) GO-GO – Do you want go-go dancers or a cirque de soleil show available at your party near the dance floor or for entertainment? At what hour(s) of the night will your entertainers be performing at your party?

15) SECURITY – Do you have good security protecting the door of your party and also inside of the venue to prevent drunken fights? Are you using off-duty cops to protect you from noise violations in a private neighborhood with easily disturbed neighbors or a random door guy?

In addition to the above questions, as a party host, it your job to make sure your guests are having fun, and this can be as much work as running a business enterprise. This is why it is often easier and more fun to promote your own party, but let someone else host the party and create the entire production.

I’ve done both, and I have a lot of fun doing both, but I definitely have a lot more fun when I am just promoting the party, because when you organize the production, you have to manage the party and make sure everyone is having fun. However, if you do produce the entire event, you will get more credit for the party and a lot of hookups, favors, and connections.

Man, this article comes across as pure bragging. Throwing over the top parties isn't very practical for the vast majority of people, and is best left to people who do it for a living, ie professionals. It'd be a lot more useful to talk about setting up small house parties or events and how to get girls doing so, but that wouldn't be as impressive, would it? I feel like I just read a really long and try hard DHV.

btw, cool house bro

 Are you guys retarded?  This is great advice and I enjoy it.  I recognize that some of the people that dislike this post are virgins or not very skilled in PU.  They don't understand the value of being social, they just want to put their dicks in a vag.

Social Proof can be an EXTREEEMELY valuable tool for game.

One of the best guys in Amsterdam is the social-proof king over here, and he rightfully so swears by this kinda shit...

On the other hand this was presented rather braggy indeed; same with the other article for that matter.

Props though. Rsd rules.

I would LOVE to know more about how you threw parties at UW-M, specifically how you dealt with alcohol issues in regards to age (with such a large under 21 crowd in college) and how you threw the yacht party. I too am a greek.

Papa, this sounds great but what are/were your budgets? Did you make money or did you lose a lot of money each time? (You could call it "Private financial investment in personal social circle" I guess ;) But fact is that you're still losing money.)

It's fun to host a party but it's terrible for your party-business' continuity unless you make a few bucks or at least break-even.

What was the average you spent on parties when you were say, 20? And are there any clever rules of thumb? ("When you have 20 guys and 20 girls over, get around ~20 liters of beer/wine. or else you might run out or pay too much.") or tips you only get with experience ("Don't get white couches. They won't stay white for long and are a bitch to clean. If you really need them, get leather ones" from the top of my head.)


I know that I can find all this out for myself by JUST DOING IT, but I think it would be a waste of time and money not to take advantage of the experience of somebody else ;)

But, actually, this is a post I desperately needed, so thank you VERY much. I hope you read this comment ;)

Jesus guys.. I don't think he's trying to say you have to be a pimp ass billionaire who lives in hollywood throwing fuckin playboy mansion parties..  this is unrealistic for most people in the community.  Rather I think its about a lifestyle, cause every time you walk into a club you are really walking into someone's party.  Having your own parties can be a great experience, and you can make many contacts.  I don't throw parties myself, but any cool parties I go to leave an impression on me, and I usually meet whoever is throwing it, make friends with them, exchange numbers, and usually get a call back and attend future parties.  they also don't have to be anything extravagant.  My buddy threw a 'Hayloft Party' many months back and it was cowboys themed and they had the whole house filled with haybails and it was really cool, just selling 3 kinds of beer for cheap behind this makeshift 'hay-bar'.  Lots of hot chicks showed up, and many will be back next time for the next themed party.. Just my two cents..  Its actually something I haven't thought of in a while.. thanks Papa

cheers,
Tim

This is a cool concept, but won't help a lot of us.

I will say this though, in a small town like Seattle, taking time to get to know people other than just girls i'm trying to bang DOES help make things easier. I don't throw parties or anything grandiose like that, but i've met enough promoters, bartenders, cool guys.ect that I can skip lines and get free drinks.

Overall though, I bet being a fuckin billionaire does wonders for your *game*. Laff.

I don't know about you Pappa, but in the real world this kind of "game" costs TONNS OF MONEY.
True GAME is free and it's up to you how many hot girls you can PULL from the poshest venue, without having a Ferrari waiting outside.
True GLORY is, when you steal a girl from a Provider Chode-s arm. But yet again, only true players can do that. 
Maybe some glorious day, me too.

"Cold approach" always has, and always will be the best way to meet women.  Like you've said here, Papa happens to be extremely passionate about social networking and throwing parties.

 I for one got a lot out of this, as this is the type of lifestyle I'm working toward. The great thing about RSD is that each of the instructors has a completely different style, and they all work -- it provides a wealth of advice from which we can pick and choose. Cheers.

I liked that article, though I must say, I don't like that kind of lifestyle very much because if you stop throwing parties, people just forget you.

There is something missing too. You start with parties you threw in your dorm room and next step is throwing parties which were mentioned in newspapers. How to get from A to B?

I threw some parties but Playboy magazine never called me sad

I think i read about you in the game being rich as fuck haha no wonder you could throw those big ass parties in highschool and college.

Its awsome to realize that you can throw parties soley by outsourcing every part of the party and only providing the people. haha thats so nuts. Cant wait to throw a few parties :-P maybe even make somewhat a business out of it.

This is a great post, it really got me thinking.
I'm new to RSD and a few of my PUA friends have turned me onto to you guys.
I am in no way new to the game though, just the concepts RSD teaches.

Also, I have really fallen in love with Papa's lifestyle.
I want to become a club/party promoter here in NYC and I'd really appreciate some advice on her to get started.
On top of that, I'm a freshman in high school. Haha, kinda cool how I'm getting into this stuff at such an early age huh?

At that age, it's going to be a lot more difficult to get a promotions job. Best way to get in is by meeting other promoters, finding out who they work for, and approaching that guy directly. Start off small, like working for clubs in your age group, then work your way up.

Interesting post.
Personally I've also noticed that "the host gets laid", always. IMHO the lonely wolf doing cold approach after cold approach will have it a lot harder than the guys like Papa who have a social network. you simply don't have access to the best girls if you have no social circle.
but as others pointed out most of us don't have the means to throw such a large scale party. some advice on how to throw a simple flat party would be interesting. like, "create a facebook event, do it secret or public event, hide or show the guest list, ask people to bring booze or food..."
