This list is for little dinner parties held by women.

I could tell a woman write this at 11 "gender balance." No, just no. If you are a man thowring a party the one and only concern you have is throwing every bit of effort at making sure women will show up and not be outnumbered 2:1 or worse by guys. They will all leave and the reputation will forever ruin your chances of having women show up in the future. They talk.

If you are a man throwing a party you have to actively turn away other men. There is no other way. You have to rotate bouncing duty.
