My opinion is that statement is Bull! Meeting someone in a party, is no different then meeting someone anywhere else. Other then the fact they may be drunk. But being drunk don't make them bad people. If you believe that, then you gotta believe that any one you meet anywhere is not trustworthy... But some say people that you meet from parties are not trustworthy...what do you think?

Right off the bat I think, if you were invited to the same party that means you have mutual friends and assuming that the friends we choose are a reflection of us I think they would have one thing going for them already. If I meet someone for the first time and they are drunk, I will not consider them trustworthy or otherwise until I meet them again with all full capacities. So, I guess I agree with you. The statement: people you meet at parties are not trustworthy is too general and and kind of stupid for someone to say.

I like to believe that people I meet anywhere are trustworthy, but I know that's not the truth. I don't think that people you meet at parties are necessarily untrustworthy, but I do think that you should take extra care around a new acquantaince if you or they is drinking. In fact, I'm exceptionally careful about drinking in general, and will only drink if someone I trust implicitly is with me. It's not because I tihnk people at parties are less trustworthy than anyone else, but just because I like to be careful. People always used to tell me anyone you meet online was untrustworthy, and I wound up marrying someone I met online. So I guess I don't buy into any of those rules, but just try to be careful in whatever I'm doing.

That is true. People are people no matter where you go, you cannot just shelter yourself from the whole world.

It is not that they are not trustworthy like you say they are more then likely to be drunk so basically what would be in mind is that I will be polite and that to the Person but that is all I would never say yes to someone or commit myself to anything when a Person is drunk and like you say that is not just at Parties

I don't go to parties but I think no matter where you meet it will be the same like you said there's no difference where you meet as for right now it's really hard to trust anybody these days, when you meet someone talk and get to know them a little better you may trust them. I just don't think when you meet some people at the parties are turstworthy there is some that you can trust just follow your instict.

I agree with you. I think if you meet someone at a party it is no different than if you meet someone on the street. I believe people are trustworthy until they prove me wrong, but that sometimes bites me in the butt, but that is just a chance I take. I like to see the good in people.

I try to give all people the benefit of the doubt when meeting them for the first time. Although that statement can hold true for some people that one can meet at parties. But one can never really know for sure unless first given the chance to prove the person wrong. We all to often make assumptions about people, which turn out to be wrong in some manner. That's how feelings are hurt and one becomes known as something vile and untrusting.

Well of course that statement is bull, because if it was true and you're at the party then you're not trustworthy to all the other people there too! How silly would that be? People you meet in every day life like at work or college could be the same people you meet at parties, how does that make them trustworthy? Because they have a drink? Not everyone drinks at parties (I do though)! When you have a drink - depending on your tolerance people tend to speak the truth a lot more. Of course you will meet people on occasion who are not trustworthy at a party as you will meet them anywhere else. Just because it's at a social event doesn't make them any worse or better than other people!

Well people always have those bright sentences and claims, and that is why i like people so much, they usually make me laugh with those bright sentences. Lol. Yes, i agree people that we meet on parties are no different from people we meet anywhere else. Every event in life gets out a different side of the person personality, but i do believe that even if it is an absurd situation, you can see already if you can relate to this person. People who are bright and who are close to our way of thinking, will still be idiotic bright people, when they are drunk in a party. Don't you think so my friend?:)

I think maybe it jsut means that you can't trust the person that they're representing. Because many people (ESPECIALLY US MEN) go to parties with the intention/hope to get laid. Therefore, we will create a persona which we think may give us a better chance at that than our own personality. Now that's not everybody, but I think anybody going to a party kind of dresses up their personality a little bit, just like their body. So maybe you can trust them, but you just have to meet them a few times outside of the party environment first. :)

I would say it doesn't matter where you meet the person. You could meet someone anyplace that isn't trustworthy. Being drunk doesn't make someone a bad person, as long as you realize they are drunk and may be a different person when they aren't.

Augustia, I don't think so! If they are not trustworthy then I am not trustworthy either.

i agree with you meeting people at parties is a good platform to get to know someone better, however when people are drunk it is often not the real person you are getting to know blessed be

Well i think it depends on what kind of party i am in. . And if ever i get to bump to some drunken men in a party, i would just ignore him. I'm the type who really go for first impression, with how one has to look. If you look scary to me then i would be 10 meters away from you. You know what i mean? haha. LOL

A drunken man's words can never be believed. Tis is a general opinion. Exceptions may be there. Partying people makes all sorts of merriment.If you talk to them serious thigs, yjey will readily agree to your needs..but soon forgets.

I don't know anybody who has *never* been to a party. And there's only one tee-totaller I have known in my life and even she got drunk once. Nah, I think Part-people are great - it's the party-poopers that cause the problem.. :-)

Hi, I dont agree with this statement "People you meet from parties are not trustworthy??!" I have met some good people at parties, I dont think all people are bad either.

I agree with your statement that being drunk does not make them bad. However, I do think by being drunk they are probably behaving differently than they otherwise would. Therefore who you are meeting is not really who you think it is. Whether they are trustworthy or not is a different story. Bottom-line is I would wait until you get to interact with them when they are sober before forming any opinions. cheers,
