Does anyone actually like formal events?



I am attending a formal event which I do not have choice about.

I hate these things. The crowds, food, drinks, clothes, shoes, etc... it's gawdy and uncomfortable.

Do people actually enjoy these things?
I know I don't.

It really depends on the event. I do love dressing up, and having good food. I've been to some that have been fantastic, and others that have been excruciating to get through.

Excruciating is where I'm at right now.

A question for the guys who hate formal wear here:

If you could wear something this utterly fabulous instead of a boring old tuxedo, would you like formal events more?

Oooh. Good question

Doesn't that look more comfortable than a tux, as well as more fabulous!

I get a lot of Indian wedding coming through my work for pictures. I can never decide if the bride or the groom looks better.

reply

No, my friend, it does not. I am being kind because I like and respect you.

I concede that most men have no idea how to wear formal ware, or much of anything else.

Once every year I dress up to the occasion. I used to like it, but my will to attend dims with each passing year

I'm with you, I DO NOT enjoy any big, crowded, formal events.

The truth is I look and feel absurd in a suit and I dislike small talk. "So, what do you do for a living?" is almost the worst thing I can hear. I do genuinely enjoy and like most people but only in a casual setting like a neighbor's garage or a BBQ, etc.

I used to especially when I was in the Army. I enjoyed wearing my dress uniform at these events and it as fun. Nowadays I don't attend any kind of event because I prefer to stay home and watch wovies.

Like funerals?

Sometimes. Depends on who's hosting and what the event is. Weddings are hit or miss, work/family functions are much the same. And of course it depends on your mood on the day as well - sometimes it's exciting to see old friends and relatives and sometimes it very much bites the big one.
