We all know what BYOB stands for, or do we? Giving new life to an old acronym Recycled Date Parties now use BYOB to stand for Bring Your Old Boyfriend. And that's exactly what the women that attend these parties do -- they bring an old boyfriend, introduce him to other women who are in the market for a "new" boyfriend, and let nature take its course. It's a living, breathing, human example of the old saw "one person's trash is another person's treasure." And another simple approach to do-it-yourself recycling (DIYR), recycling that cuts out the middleman.
Why should you pay E-Harmony, It's Just Lunch, or your local singles bar, buckets of money to find a new Mr. Right, or even a new Mr. Right Now? What are friends for, if they can't share their cast aside lovers with you? One caution: Like most used cars, none of these recycled Romeos come with warranties. Recycled Date Parties are strictly caveat emptor.
Now, what I'm waiting to see is the first group of guys who are brave enough to host a BYOG party!
